With Gundam you never really know Nosferatu.

I do like the Sera it reminds of SEM they both have a scaled down design that works well for there roles.

[LaSean]

YES!!! New 00 stuff I can't get enough of 00 designs, I love them lol.

[GN0010 Nosferatu]

I'll admit, Sera not having a head is pants on head retarded. What's wrong with using the Raphael's head?

Probably because when the Sera is disconnected, the Raphael is still using its head.

Of that's right...it comes apart. I was thinking the armor wraps itself around Raphael. I'm stupid.

Well why couldn't they bring back Seravee's head?

It does wrap around the Raphael, mostly. Just not the head.

Same reason with the Neo-Hed, I imagine. So it doesn't get shot as heads are a major weakness in GN-based mobile suits.

To not have a head is an aesthetic weakness that can cripple a MS all on its own.

I won't stand for it.

Neo-Hed overcame the weakness by distributing the sensor packages and the like all over the body, so it couldn't all be taken out with a headshot--as Patrick can easily tell you. So it's actually a smart move.

Being tactical sucks in Gundam. It's all about the look.

Yes, I'm wondering about this as well. It's not too mch trouble to actually put a head there really.

The weird part is that Sera isn't designed to have it's sensors all over the place like the Neo-Hed was. I think the Jap Wiki says that it has some sort of a minor sensor or something.

If I designed the Neo Hed though, I would give it's sensors all over it's body AND give it a traditional sensor head. This way there's always something to go by incase the whole head or parts of the body gets damaged. Most mobile suits already have backup sensors on places beside the head anyways, so it's just a matter of upgrading those.

[GN0010 Nosferatu]

Maybe it has a different head and we haven't seen it yet, more 00 secrecy.

Info on Exia Repair III:

After S2, CB strictly controls its public armed intervention and extreme caution is taken especially when gundam is involved. Exia R3 is modified to meet the requirements of the organisation's activities and one such modification is the addition of the GN Long Rifle, which is designed for sniping while the unit is cloaked. The latest GN thrusters are installed; their efficiency allows the unit to accelerate while keeping particle consumption low. Thus, when range attack is unsuitable for the mission, Exia will rush into the enemies for close range combat. The newly designed, enlarged shoulder armors contain condenser.

Sadly, sera's profile does not contain any new info.

Sniping while clocking, suddenly Dynames doesnt sound so boss anymore........now all it needs is the actual cloak from Exia Repair III and we would have one MF badass suit.

[GundamFan]

Well the cloaking device exlpains why they would equip Exia RIII with a Sniper rifle as oppose to some other sort of GN gun. Especially since it would most likely be fighting multiple GN units.

[GN0010 Nosferatu]

So are we expected to get any more mecha info after ERIII and Sera?

[Rising Dragon]

The only machine I can think of that we'd get new info on would be the ELS 00 Qan[T]... so probably not a whole lot of new mecha info.

I can see it now, Exia lying low in the desert during the day, sniping things in the sky one by one all day. Then cloaks slowly moves to a different location after awhile.

Forget about having just a gun, Exia now has a "sniping" rifle. Never thought I would see the day. Dynames Repair needs one of those too.......then Setsuna and Lyle could go do some tag team sniping.....

I don't think so, this is pretty much it I guess. This last Senki chapter is like the final bonus for Senki like the Reborns chapter was for 00V.

Some info on ELS Qan(T) would be nice but I dunno whether the info is out and that we just don't have it or whether none was ever released.

*lightbulb flashes*To the Japanese Wiki!!!

I feel sorry for the poor security guard in a GN-X III who inevitabily endup fighting the RIII. It should be good for the EFS as the large corporations are going to need alot more GN-X MS with that thing lurking around, warranty probably doesn't cover acts of God or Gundam either.

Well as there main manga focus I would say it's pretty much done but they'll probably go back to 00 timeline a some point down the road just like they have GW acouple of times.

[Scorpiopt]

Any news on the ELS Qan(T)?
