Mechanista in G Scanline Media

Make Good May, Week 3! This time, it's a different sort of Make Good, as we pick two requests that have been languishing unrolled on our list for some time. We start off with a First Gundam Friend that wasn't- the Agg, who never made it into the show because Char had other ideas. Then it's into Warhammer 40,000 as we look at the mecha of the Tau!

They say "don't start with a showstopper," yet in the world of transforming mecha, the designers of Super Dimension Fortress Macross did exactly that. The Valkyrie set off a trend of mecha that can transform into planes, but nearly all the designs it inspired are inferior to this perfect, classic original by Kazutaka Miyatake and Shoji Kawamori. Then again, maybe it was only a showstopper for other designers- someday we might get to talk about the mecha from future Macross series, which are no slouches themselves.

With this episode, we're beginning the Month of Make Goods! It's time to clear all the red in the Mechanista ledger. And we're gonna start with a toku friend we rolled many months ago. He's been very politely Standing By, and now our responsibility to cover him is Complete.

How do mobile workers, including our Construction Mobile Suit here, play into "mobile suits have never brought happiness to anyone" as a statement? Well, to examine this, we must first consider that the word "work" is right there in "mobile worker." And I think, personally, it's impossible to have fun at your work. I hate job. Therefore it fits!

Like that Michael Mann podcast? Hey, welcome to a Joke I Made For No One. This is our second ever Gaia Gear episode, and perhaps our last one, unless something happens to surprise us. In the far future of UC Gundam, very little has changed. I guess they call them Man Machines instead of Mobile Suits now, that's different! Also they don't have to worry about them being animated, so there's lots of fun detail!

FINALLY. It's time for my one of my favorites to take center stage. I actually mean both the pilot AND the machine! The Astraea Type F is sick! Fon Spaak is unwell! Together, they're just so much fun. Let's talk some really cool 00 side designs, including some really cool ones that only exist as models! You might not even know some of these.
