Well, unlike the days of the "steel pots" the entire US military is volunteer. In some ways they are suppose to be elite, though in todays terms it seems more of "specialists" than warriors.

The long past days when we still had people drafted into service. (I think the last man drafted into the military retired not too long ago).

Is there any way to get the toy thread unlock? The toy line is still very active. Are there other active FMP forum?

And I will just leave it here since it is kind of novel related:

Then you should speak with a moderator, they are the only one with that kind of power.

HunterSeeker · 2012-03-17, 13:08

Yeah, I know, FMP Another volume 3 is released.
According to 2ch, it's safe to say this book is the best one among 3.
I'll stay tune of any news coming out......

And some minor spoilers right now.

Spoiler:

<KS11> · 2012-03-18, 05:02

I hope so much that Gatoh in not bluffing as always...

Waiting for some deeper news on FMA HS! Thanks!!!!!

HunterSeeker · 2012-03-18, 11:38

OK, some primary spoilers along with pics.

Spoiler for 2 type of book covers:

Spoiler for rest of the pics, quite a lot, probably not in order:

Spoiler for AS files:

Spoiler for some small spoilers:

Stay tuned.

gordol · 2012-03-18, 13:23

Thanks Hunter! Could translate the text on the weapons description, I'm particularly interested in the AS Revolver, who uses it?

Sumeragi · 2012-03-18, 13:38

Seems like the already different color of the writing is coming now. Just how often was comedy this integrated to the main story in the original FMP? Loving this.

Also, wow, an Arabian prince who is very competent. I like.

MisterBaka · 2012-03-18, 13:52

OH SHI-
I mean, thanks, HunterSeeker! This is great! You are, as always, the saviour of mankind and me personally with those spoilers!
I can bet this Arabic prince has a thing for a Russan blonde. They always do... *Ivan rage*
I wonder, will they explain further what happened in the Arabic world after the events of the FMP timeline with the nuclear conflict and all.

Cenit · 2012-03-18, 16:16

Thanks Hunterseeker. Reliable as always. This story really starts to interest me. To bad i can't read it but i like where this is going. lets see how long it takes for volume 4 and 5 to get released ... maybe both in this year? :3

2H-Dragon · 2012-03-18, 17:50

Might as well post here, since this the only active FMP thread. What happened to the anime? I thought Kyo-Ani was waiting for the novels to be completed so they could the final season in style. What happened? Last thing I remembered this series was insanely popular. Isn't there enough interest or something?

Yu Ominae · 2012-03-18, 20:07

Some of the weapons mentioned are familiar to me... For instance, the AUG and the Tavor live on in FMP Another...

Ithekro · 2012-03-18, 23:01

Mmmmm, 37mm Assault Rifles.....

57mm revolvers.....

VyseDyne · 2012-03-19, 01:36

Started re-watching FMP on Netflix out of sheer nostalgia, then remembered that there's still a very large amount of material that still isn't covered. Really just wondering if anyone knows if any company has picked up the license for the novels after Tokyopop folded.

I'm quite sure that there are a few people that may be sick of answering this question, but the past 2 days of sifting through Google have brought me here, where you guys seem to be the absolute best informed. Thanks for any help. =D

<KS11> · 2012-03-19, 05:12

There are no news about the anime..

Thank you HS!!! It's kinda becoming interesting!

No words of who using that. The rest are talking about AS Revolvers and Rifles' positions and background in the universe.

In short, revolvers are often dismissed among army-use AS due to less ammo capacity and short range, but its uase of use and maintanence are still their merits, and are pretty popular among other AS especially peacekeeping onces, due to its firepower are more than enough for their purposes. And there're quite a lot of small to middle-scale companies are developing AS revolvers.

Sumeragi · 2012-03-19, 11:16

Can't wait for the 26th for the manga version of Another to be released.

Thank you, HunterSeeker, for everything!! I was only able to catch the live stream for about 5 minutes, glad you were able to share the news on it~ Thank you! And for the news on Another v3, and the images, again, thank you! <3~ Much appreciated!

As for the Another manga, it's pretty good. Sometimes the artist uses some rather over-the-top expressions that feel out of place, and minimal backgrounds. Don't realize just how much even moderately detailed backgrounds add to a manga until you stare at all that empty space. As I read it, I was trying to figure out what was missing from it, why it didn't feel quite right, then I realized the backgrounds are nearly non-existent. Character designs are great, though. Taichi You's Lina is simply adorable! I'll definitely work on collecting the manga as I can, but I won't be too sad if I miss out on it.

HunterSeeker The Spirit of Steel Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: HKSAR, PRC, Asia, The Earth, The Milky Way Galaxy, The Universe.	OK, some primary spoilers along with pics. Spoiler for 2 type of book covers: Spoiler for rest of the pics, quite a lot, probably not in order: New Characters: Katsuro Mizorogi - Developing Officer of Blaze Raven Yusuf bin Muhammad bin Karim Al Kaytry - 3rd Prince of Rasit kingdom (a new country in Arabian Penesula) Hassan bin Jassim - Lieutenant Colonel and Yusuf's bodyguard Samira bint Hassan - Servant of Yusuf, Hassan's daughter Insert Van the Nice Guy/Cagali Yutha Athha and Andrew Warfield jokes here The resident prince is surely tough. Welcome to DOMS, Prince Yusuf. Is it a school Carnival or something? Sanjo Kikuno is here? Oh shit. ......Rumours says they're going to kiss on this spot. ONly being interrupted by Yusuf. (From HS: When DID Sousuke/Chidori even got a first chance for that in the original?) Mao, you REALLY haven't changed. Spoiler for AS files: Wolf Height 8.6m Weight 10.6t Reactor 2500KW Maximum Operation Time 150hrs Maximum Speed 180km/h Maximum Jump Height 30m Fixed Armaments: General Electrics (no shit) GAU-19/S 12.7mm Vulcan Optional Armaments: Ericon GEF-B 40mm Rifle, Mauser MGK-35 35mm Rifle, Linemetal GIK-76 76mm Smoothbore Cannon, Geotron GRAW-6 Monomolocular Cutter "Called as "Swordsman" among American troops, Wolf is a 3rdGen AS made by Germans, it has spectacular stats that even surpasses M9, especially a special parts under its arms made it more stable even move-and-shoot. What prevents it from being widespread is its staggering pricetag: being four times of a Zy-99M, not even DOMS has the financial power to buy it (in addition to limitations of export)------but Yusif's country brought 8 of it, mostly for ceremonial use." M9A1E1 "Gernsback Arsenal" Height 8.6m Weight 15.8t Reactor 2300KW Maximum Operation Time 160hrs Maximum Speed 110km/h Maximum Jump Height 15m Fixed Armaments: General Electrics GAU-19/S 12.7mm Vulcan, M134 7.62mm Vulcan Optional Armaments: Seward Arsenal AGS-3 155mm Advanced Howister and "Sticks" Multipurpose Turret, Hueges VGM-A2(M) "Vassal 2" Multipurpose Missile, Rock Island M119A3 105mm Howister "Boasting the best firepower among all 3rdGen AS, Arsenal is also known as 'Ammo Storage' and its signiture weapon is AGS-3------its designs has already considered its massive recoil and mounts a special system for that. It also mounts AN/VSQ-8B Command System, allowing the pilot to control 24 manless aircrafts." Cyclone 2 Height 8.2m Weight 11.6t Reactor 750KW x2 Maximum Operation Time 140hrs Maximum Speed 160km/h Maximum Jump Height 28m Fixed Armaments: Hugues L95A2 7.62mm Chaingun (up to 4) Optional Armaments: Royal Ordanace L21A3 30mm Autocannon, Ericon KDS 35mm AS Rifle, Hugues TOW-2N Anti-Tank Missile, Bristol CRV7-PG 2.75in Rocket "The 2ndGen AS developed by British, it has a rare design of using 2 Generators instead of 1, so that both can share the power usage or rewiring powers for a specific function, as well as able to move by 1 reactor even another is damaged. Being one of the more agile 2ndGen, its jumping height or burst maximum speed rivals that of 3rdGen, but it's safe to say its armour are so thin that Gureillas or militias can deal hige damage to it in surprise attacks." Spoiler for some small spoilers: 1. It's said that DOMS was created for ex-Mithril members, so Sousuke's entrance may not be impossible. 2. Other developers for Blaze Raven are going to appear. 3. Confirmed a second unit for Blaze Raven, red in colour and piloted by Adelina. 4. Kikuno seems to be as sane as Gates and is going to gives its "First Time" for Tatsuya......by killing people. 5. At the end there're hints for something big in 4th book, possibly Yusuf's country breaks into a war. Stay tuned. __________________ Obviously ,hope is the first step to the road of disappointment.
