Call me old-fashioned, but I always though Okawara's versions made more sense as functioning military vehicles. The Katoki redesigns in EW for example took away so many battle-important functions (The shield and Neo Bird Mode from WZ, the buster shield from D-Hell, the arm blade from Heavyarms, for example) and all he did was make them shiny and pretty for model sales. :/ It makes no sense in the context of the series and never will (retcon my ass). |

Which, I have the Crystal Type Fix Figuration Wing Ka in front of me right now and the box does indeed say 'Early Type', suggesting it to be a prototype of some sort? I'm fairly certain the model kits of this suit have that name too. So maybe that's what they'll be... prototypes to the ones in series. Though the Deathscythe Ka model being put out seems to have gotten the moniker 'Deathscythe EW version', so. Who knows. |

I think I found a typo in the english stuff. In the english stuff, it label the year as MC-002, but in the japanese stuff it's MC-0022.
http://forums.animesuki.com/showthre...04#post3104004 http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YF1tNfQVN8...uU/s1600/7.jpg I believe T.K. is Treize Khushrenada, because the letter was German and he's of Germen descent and the bit about his friend Milliardo. That or T.K. from Digimon is making an appearence. I don't think "J" is Doctor J, because if he was Doctor J, she would've first note how mechanized he is. Finally I believe Princess Aurora is A new female character and the MC timeline will have Sleeping beauty references like the original had a Wizard of OZ references, E.G. OZ, Dorothy. |

-The newer, full translation says "MC-0022 NEXT WINTER". The blogpost you linked was a very early information dump. Obviously it was gonna have misinformation. -Duh. -This is based on Gundam EVOLVE 7 and he was shown in person in that piece. It's definitely Doctor J. -While I believe your theory might be totally possible (I was thinking this myself, Sumisawa trolling us all by making it some random new character) your reasons are pretty unlikely. They're not gonna make a bunch of references for the sake of making references. |

-Just to clearify. -Some people were talking about it -I don't know how canon they are and was taken in the final arc of the TV series, before 196 AC, if you check out some little hints -Then explain the Wizard of OZ references and I never said a bunch. |

I've seen the Evolve short before, however that doesn't mean that it's post Endless Waltz or anything. While the two things that Doctor J said at the beginning certainly relate, it doesn't mean anything. That and if people are going on it based on the Gundam design showcased, you have to remember that the cosmetic different doesn't mean anything... it's still the same Gundam in the end. I think people are grasping at straws with this one...

Here's a good take on Evolve 7 from Aboutgundamwing:
Gundam Evolve 7: Tertiary. Though it offers no real contradiction, Evolve 7 is somewhat hard to place within the timeline of Gundam Wing. The use of Virgo IIs and Dr. J being alive place it within the show's span, but there exists no real period of time in which Heero has Wing Zero and is in space alone, meaning that he had to specifically leave the Peacemillion without telling the others to deal with the colony cannon. I doubt this happened while he was "on the way" to rescue Relena. However, I suspect that this event takes place during the 12-day gap between Episodes 45 and 46. Firstly, in 45, Relena notices Dr. J in Libra's hangar while Dorothy is showing off the new Mercurius and Vayeate, but makes no effort to talk to him; perhaps she was waiting for a time when she could have a more private conversation. Secondly, as seen in the later chapters of G-Unit, White Fang wasn't putting all its eggs in the one basket that is Libra, so having a back-up WMD seems reasonable. Thirdly, at the end of 45, Duo tells Heero that Relena is on Libra, but he still takes almost two weeks to decide to rescue her; given his loner nature, it's easy to imagine Heero not talking with the guys, but taking on the colony cannon mission solo as a way to clear his head, so to speak. In any event, Evolve 7 doesn't offer much expansion to the universe, just a five-minute, computer-generated jaunt, and therefore can fit in pretty well.
