Title: Unknown

Mechanic Design: Katoki Hajime
Character Design: Suzuki Tatsuya

Mobile Suit: Phantom Gundam Unit No.7

EARTH FEDERATION PHANTOM SWEEP TEAM

* Hughes Curro: Male. Age 32. A veteran officer who leads the Phantom Sweep special forces unit charged with hunting for Zeon remnants. He has a bitter experience in which his unit was annihilated in the past.

Sherry Allison: Female. Age 24. She was serving as a test pilot but was assigned to the special forces unit as a replacement.

ZEON FORCES INVINCIBLE KNIGHTS

* Erik Blanque (Blank): Male. Age 20. A young officer whose family is a distinguished family in the Principality of Zeon. He takes command of the “Invincible Knights” in order to execute a counterattack operation against the Earth Federation Forces.

Story: The time is Universal Century 0081. One year has passed since the war. Although the world was regaining order, small-scale battles continued in various places by the Zeon remnants who still continued to resist. During the situation, a veteran soldier of the Earth Federation Forces is appointed to a cleanup operation of the Zeon remnant forces. Feelings mix on the battlefield as the young Zeon officers advance their secret strategy for the revival of Zeon…

Going back to the Universal Century, eh? Awesome!

Oh, and I fully await the Viewtiful one's "Told Ya So!"

I myself am not sure what to think about this. People on 4chan are already pondering if this setting even has enough space inside UC to become a fullfletched Gundam series of 50 episodes. An OVA series seems more likely. Personally, I would have prefered Gundam Unicorn.

And I think it was quite obvious that the 30th Anniversary Project would be something UC related.

Good RX78, you look rather Katoki.

Because Katoki is the mechanical designer for this series. But Jesus Yamato, why does it have to be ANOTHER freakin' RX-78? Can't they make a new model? To tell the truth, I've had quite enough of that design after watching 0083. Could they not at least have made it an Alex variation?

Nekomata · **Reply #5 on:** February 23, 2009, 11:01:39 PM

because the MkII doesn't get finalized for another 5 years.

They really should've put better security on it too!

Saber · **Reply #7 on:** February 23, 2009, 11:06:38 PM

I wasn't really talking about the Mark II, but surely there were other Gundam type mobile suits developed within the Federation during that time? Wasn't the Gundam Development Project already in progress at that time? Didn't they make the Alex as well?

Protoman Blues · **Reply #8 on:** February 23, 2009, 11:07:40 PM

Besides the Alex, I'd say the RX-79.

Other than that, I'd say the GP's from 0083.

Setsuna F. Seiei · **Reply #9 on:** February 24, 2009, 12:45:15 AM

Heh heh, you beat me to it.

Any way, the thing that excites me, more than anything at the moment?

NO MORE CHILDREN.

Thus far, the youngest person of this cast is 20 years old. We may finally have another Gundam series, free of pilots who have yet to grow a single pubic hair! HALLELUJAH.

The only other thing I could ask for would be to minimize, or even skip over the whole thing about Newtypes for another UC series. The closer we get to some thing like 08th MS Team, the better, in my opinion.

Eh. While SS was cool, I just always preferred Gundam series that older guys as pilots, instead of fresh-faces.

Well, a good portion of Gundams were just lying there waiting to be stolen!

Aresian · **Reply #16 on:** February 25, 2009, 03:21:46 AM

Characters that are already emotionally and physically mature aren't that interesting for POV characters. Not to say it can't be done... but seriously now, I prefer to watch a character grow through a series than to watch some hardass plow through everything. <_<

That can wait until after their balls drop. Then they have a right to plow through everything.

Needless to say, this one'll probably fly over my head. Bai

oh cool, I shall check this out

whilst in my head, a Front Mission anime, would not be too far off from 8th MS Team, aside from well, not being in space and stuff...but that's just me.

No new Gundam series this year. Bandai announced during a press conference regarding the Gundam 30th Anniversary that they have no plans for another television series of the franchise airing on Japanese TV this year.

Meanwhile, they've announced that they will build a 1/1 Scale RX-78-2 Gundam statue in Tokyo which will be on display for free for two months. The statue is supposed to be erected in July.

Man, I wish I could see that, as well as attend the "Feel G" and "Soul G" events as well.

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #20 on:** March 12, 2009, 02:48:05 PM

Wait...
Is that the same 1/1 scale Gundam reported last year?

Setsuna F. Seiei · **Reply #21 on:** March 12, 2009, 09:10:03 PM

No. That was an 8 foot tall statue at a train station. This will is going to be full scale, including working steam vents. 78 doesn't have those flight lights on the shoulders, but that's more a legal issue.

Well then, today's April 7th. Today, 30 years ago, the first episode of Mobile Suit Gundam aired on Japanese TV. Happy Birthday Gundam!
