This is what google translate said about that smart phone looking thing.

Passed down through generations in the family memory unit Asuno Gundam blueprints and [AGE]] system that records data such as basic principles.
The data and research their own family piled Asuno, recording and integration of technology from the past came to accumulate, just "a book of secrets 一子相伝" is a very good also say something.

And the Gafuran alien thing.

E (Enemy Unknown) called unidentified enemy. Suddenly appeared 14 years ago, has repeatedly destroyed throughout the world. Dragon has the ability to transform from humanoid type.

[LoweGear]

Wow... the thing has a humanoid form...



Also, site for Gundam AGE merchandise, including the upcoming HGAG 1/144 line and the 1/100 line.

Google Translation:

Space Age began several hundred years have passed immigration to space colonies.
Earth wars over supremacy in the end, what seemed to be a peaceful era.
However, that peace is also crumbled in despair.

A.G.101 year - (Advanced Generation)
Suddenly, an unknown enemy that appeared [UE (Unknown Enemy = Enemy Unknown)] by the [Angel] space colony is under attack, collapsed. This disaster will take a heavy toll of the Angels after sunset [was called. Since then people living in the UE the Earth is going to be a long time suffer.

A.G.108 year -
UE fighting ensued, until it was peaceful space colony] [Ovan will also be hit. Frit Asuno year-old boy who lived there seven, lost her mother was involved in war. But the death of his mother, passed down through generations Memory Unit in the house [AGE] is committed to the device. There is an ancient mobile suit Gundam [formerly known as the Messiah came in the blueprint. I inherited my mother frit, Gundam] decided to create external.

A.G.115 year -
Frit was 14 years, space colony [Nora] was adopted in the federal military base Arinsuton. Seven years, he has continued research engineers at the base and finally to complete the [Gundam. Gundam is a revolutionary system to evolve self-AGE [aircraft] system was installed.
But finally comes when I was afraid ....
Invading the UE, the peaceful colony [Nora] approaching it from the.
And now, the frit Tsukuriageta] Gundam fight themselves moving.
Really, frit during 14 years, not victory once formidable adversary [UE] I can overcome?

[GN0010 Nosferatu]

It's a humanoid form, but I don't think it'll be a mobile suit, like others are speculating.

They wouldn't call it an "Unknown Enemy" if it was a mobile suit.

The war against the UE rages on. Ovan is the latest coloney to be attacked by the strange enemy force. Frit Asuno has lived on Ovan for seven years and lost his mother in the early UE attacks. His mother passed down blueprints for the AGE system. (not sure) Frit finds an ancient(?!) mobile suit known as a Gundam, called a messiah.

AGE 115 -
Frit is now 14 years old and lives on the Nora space coloney and spends most of his time at the coloney's make shift military base. In the last seven years he continued to enhance the designs left behind by his mother and finally completes the legendary AGE self evolution system. Now, at just 14 years old, Frit is thrust into the UE war. Will he be able to overcome his enemies?

[GN0010 Nosferatu]

You should replace that image with the original version. The image you posted is a shop with the AGE-1 placed on top of the two placeholder silhouettes (the abrupt break lines on the AGE 2 and AGE 3 where the background doesn't mesh should speak for itself).



Edit:

First look at the animation:

Haha, my silly mistake.

Gunpla Model (HG, MG & Mega Size):

[GN0010 Nosferatu]

Jesus Christ a MG suit already in the works?

Bandai and Sunrise are giving this show every bit of attention they can possible give.

[Kuroi Hadou]

Looks like the Age's beam sabers are stored on the side skirts.

[Kaioshin Sama]

I would imagine the Gundam will become less basic looking as it evolves.

Sounds and looks kind of Brave Saga like as I expected.

By the way that character on the far right with the beard looks totally out of the 1970's school of character design. I'm kind of confused now.

Trailers up on NicoNico by the way. Here's a link http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm14732820

[LoweGear]

PV is out on Nico, featuring clips of what would appear to be episode 1. Haven't seen all of it yet, but it looks quite good already. Also, the MS are confirmed to be piloted, though I haven't gotten to the part confirming the same for AGE.

[Kaioshin Sama]

The shot of him looking up at the Gundam in the picture in awe already gives flashbacks to the beginning of 00. Also why is Frito's voice so damn gar at 14?
