For the Unicorn the Beam Saber flips over. I don't think Banshee can do the same on its Rifle side, Claw side is fine. But with that glove on it can't reach behind is back and grab a beam saber either. Unicorn just more versatile, I would like it if the Banshee wrist sabers can push out like the Sinanju's.

Not sure if this part of the next series.

The right arm beam saber can be flipped too if you look closely, going through the gap of the fin rifle. Banshee's design focused more on firepower (and coolness) rather than versatility. I'm even wondering if the rifle and the claw are actually remote weapons, either wired to the Banshee or fully functional funnels.

I believe it's from the Gundam Unicorn game for the PS3



Gundam Delta Kai and Sinanju Stein.
You know, I almost went "What the heck is R-Gun Powered doing here?" when I see the Delta Kai.

Does anyone know what the name of the rifle Delta Kai is holding and is that cannon from V Gundam on its back?

Both are evolved from the original Hyashiki's version as far as I can tell.

There's too many differences to be from the V Gundam. It's probably like the Banshee's "funnel cannon": A precursor.

EDIT: Ninja'd.

Is there any information what they did to the Shamblo after the Torrington base attack? I'd assume that the Federation either dismantle or recycled the materials?

The second image is definitely the Sinanju. That's what it looked like before Neo Zeon purchased... Ahem, stole it. They painted it red, added a horn antenna, and made some other modifications I believe.

From what I've read about the novel series, the flip-sabers of the Unicorn were taken from the Sinanju. But, in episode 2 when you see a close up image of the Sinanju deploying its beam saber, it's clearly the same "quick-access" design that the Sazabi used. I'm just curious if that was a Neo Zeon modification. Like, the original spec Sinanju had the flip sabers, but Full Frontal, being a Char clone and all, most likely has the same tastes in mobile suits that Char had. Thus, he may have requested that Neo Zeon engineers install a quick access system instead of the flip system.

Another thing that perplexes me is why outside of the Kshatria none of the Federation or Neo Zeon suits have funnels. The Shamblo had reflector bits, but not offensive funnels. I figured the Unicorn wouldnt' have them, since it's a dedicated Newtype hunting suit, but why hasn't the Federation used any funnel suits since the NU Gundam? They have the technology. Considering how bad Neo Zeon kicked ass with their various suits (the Quebely series, Quin Matha, Kyshantria, Jadg Doga line, Sazabi) and the Federation produced the NU Gundam with funnels and a psycommu and psychoframe, why not develop some new funnel use suits?

I'd love to see them incorporate the RX-94 Mass Production Nu Gundam into the story. It could use either INCOM weapons (for oldtypes) or a psycommu (minus the psychoframe) for a funnel suit.

They explain it bit by bit in the OVAs. For the 1st ep. Cardenas explain how the newtype ideology turn from the evolution theory Deikun had in mind to military Aces. Since Zeon promoted the genetic superior of newtypes and showed it off.....alot.

So, since Feddies and Zeeks are enemies.

You have to imagine how counter-productive it would be for the feddies to heavily promote Amuro Ray(a newtype), while bashing the ideas Zeon stand for (the genetic superiority of newtypes) during all the OYW and every Zeon insurgent group afterwards.

I'll admit this reason above just explain feddies attitude toward newtypes. Zeon just treated them as super-soldiers and created cyber-newtypes which are treated worst All this leads to the creation of Psycommu System that repeatedly tends to be run-away system.

In ep. 2 or 3, the tech guy said they are still not sure how the Psycommu system works (they don't even know why it glows when its on) then you have to explain what happen at the end of the CCA with he Psycoframe being overloaded and pushing back Axis.

So these guys not knowing much about how the psycho-frame works allow not one but two MSes with the entire frame lined with psyco-frame tech to exist. Not only that but they are going to fight each other. If you saw ep. 4 you notice how Unicorn and Sambo Psycho-frame reacted to each other. Imagine the damage it can cause if two full-psycho suits lost control fighting each other

The last thing any side should do is pushing out suits like this too much, there really expensive, they don't know how it works, not enough Newtypes to go around, psycho-frames make suits go out of control, and you can't trust the pilots from having mental breakdown during battle.

How this explains alittle, i'll wait for everyone else to jump-in

It appear the crusher claw and the mega beam rifle is detachable.

Why didn't the Unicorn didn't revert back to Unicorn mode even after its NT-D deactivated at the end of episode 4?

The NT-D didn't deactivate. The psychoframe merely wasn't glowing red since Banagher's mind was a complete blank after the events which just transpired.

I assume episode 5 will cover volumes 7 and 8 of the novels.

Any news if they will redistribute the first four episodes (blu-rays) in the US? Or people who haven't bought them forced to import the Japanese version?
