Mechanista in G – Anti-Gnosis Weapon Systems
Mechanista in G - January 28, 2024 08:52I really hate that you pronounce the acronym A.G.W.S as "eggs." It's repugnant. The machines themselves are designs that range from cool to excellent by designers like Junya Ishigaki and Kouichi Mugitani, so why must you give them such a bad name?! Sigh. Well, let's talk about some friends alrea...
Mechanista in G – ZM-S19S Shy-Tarn
Mechanista in G - January 24, 2024 22:17Is the Angel Halo the most wild weapon in all of Gundam? I certainly think in all of Tomino Gundam, where the competition is MOSTLY guns of various size. Well, and stuff like the Adzam Leader and such. Tomino does love to electrocute and microwave pilots, sometimes at the same time. Anyway, the ...

Mechanista in G – BMW Mini Cooper
Mechanista in G - January 19, 2024 02:32They got bought! The Mini was a popular enough design that BMW took an interest, and ever since 2001, the German manufacturer has been in charge of the iconic British car. Have they done right by the design? Well, no. Have they done worse than any other car designer in the 2000s making their stu...

Mechanista in G – V07-0126 Sigrún
Mechanista in G - January 11, 2024 01:02The Calamity War of IBO lore must have been kinda dumb, right? Like, ok. I have to give this another sentence so the preview doesn't spoil the show. But there were railgun archer lines, samurai, wild (???) mobile armors attacking any and everyone, one hundred and EIGHT different Gundams running ...

We talk not only about how to avoid them but we explain how...
Mechanista in G – ADO15 Mini
Mechanista in G - January 05, 2024 09:28It feels wrong not calling it a Mini Cooper. Just "Mini?" It feels off. And too bad, because it's correct: John Cooper stole the thunder of Sir Alec Issigonis, noble designer of the British Motor Corporation Mini, and we're not going give him credit until his name really does take over. But to b...
Mechanista in G – TMF/A-802 BuCUE
Mechanista in G - December 28, 2023 01:36Why such long model numbers, Seed? Are you perhaps compensating for how empty your worldbuilding is? You don't need such tricks, you actually have just a fun design this time! Gundam so rarely messes with quadrupedal machines, and the BuCUE is a pal. I'm not sure why it has so few weapons though...
Mechanista in G – F71 G-Cannon
Mechanista in G - December 22, 2023 07:38Lots of Gundam shows and movies start from going "here's our new spin on the RX-87-2." But few are brave enough to give us their take on the Guntank and, yes, the Guncannon. F91 has that courage, and with a seasoned Kunio Okawara behind them, it even makes a dang good Guncannon and Guntank. They...
Episode 84: Happy Holidays 2023 w Clayton Ockerby and Stephen Lee

Mechanista in G – The Big O
Mechanista in G - December 13, 2023 23:55The thing is, it's not that I dislike super robots. I just want some design elements to sink my teeth into! The problem with super robots is often they handwave any details, and paint in broad brush. Just give me details that don't make sense! There's no WAY all these weapons fit inside the Big ...
Gundam Sentinel vs 21st Century Artificial Intelligence
Gundam Book Club - December 11, 2023 17:00Gundam Sentinel delved into various themes including what defines sentience. A.L.I.C.E. is the AI that was developed and incorporated by the EFF into the design of Superior Gundam. Recent developments in machine learning are available on cell phones and personal computers including machine lea...
Mechanista in G – GN-003 Gundam Kyrios
Mechanista in G - December 07, 2023 10:10In my mind, the Kyrios is the least of the four main Gundams of 00. I probably still believe that after our episode, but I was definitely selling the Winged One short. There's a lot to love about this design, including a cool flight mode, a sick double-barreled beam machine gun, and a special Si...
Episode 83: Uncle Night Shift and Spud talk modeling, What do you want to improve in 2024?

Mechanista in G – Porsche 911 (Part 2)
Mechanista in G - November 30, 2023 08:44I saw a Porsche SUV today. And I was like, "hm." From me, that's disapproval- a "hm" with one m is, I don't approve. Two ms ("hmm") is "I am intrigued but I'm dropping it for now," and more ms is "let me think." Anyway. I disapproved because... man you spent the money on a Porsche and it was to ...
Mechanista in G – ZGMF-X13A Providence Gundam
Mechanista in G - November 29, 2023 02:28When's the Legend MG, Bandai? Actually, when are ANY new MGs? You put out two last year. You put out ONE this year! And I'm supposed to believe gunpla is bigger than ever?! In 2019 you put out seven! What is going ON? Anyway. The Providence is cool, thanks in large part to an excellent MG. The N...

Mechanista in G – Porsche 911 (Part 1)
Mechanista in G - November 22, 2023 23:25Por-shay. I guess. Who caaaaares. The Porsche 911 is one of those "cool" cars. They are called this because they're just cool. And you know? Despite all trends, the 911 just stays cool through all its variants! You'd think the Modern Allcar design would creep in, but Porsche stands firm and it A...

Mechanista in G – M4 Sherman
Mechanista in G - November 16, 2023 17:56This week, another Emrys request as we tackle the backbone of America's armored division in World War II, the M4 Sherman medium tank! Or that's what I thought until I checked the message history, and discovered it was actually a message from Aedan, Emrys's son who guested on our episode back in ...
Mechanista in G – AMS-129 Geara Zulu
Mechanista in G - November 16, 2023 01:21Sometimes it's the variations that salvage the core design. The Geara Zulu is, frankly, a pretty uninspired attempt to work more WWI and WWII German military design into the already pretty German Geara Doga. Frankly, I side-eye anyone who looks at Zeon designs and decides there's not enough stro...
Mechanista in G – IPP-66305 Hugo
Mechanista in G - November 10, 2023 07:33Ippei Gyoubu, you've done it again... is what I would say, if I'd remembered this thing EXISTED before we rolled it. Look, I'm not saying it's a bad design. It's alright. It has some real charm points. Mostly I'm saying that I really tuned out during Iron-Blooded Orphans season 2. Let they who w...

Mechanista in G – RMS-117 Galbaldy β
Mechanista in G - November 02, 2023 00:56Pour one out for Lila Milla Rira. Gen Urobuchi sure will. First Gundam was big on its villain of the week, but a real feature of Zeta was the grunt of the week: a design that isn't even particularly threatening, but shows up like "wow reasonable cool robot" then fades into the background. Of tha...
