These stars aren't going to vade themselves! On Part 1, I said "I don't think we'll ever do more Star-vaders [...] but you never know." Well, guess what, past self- you were both right and wrong. Good job leaving room for more ridiculousness! For all that, though, my favorite design today is a dog. Maybe that's not surprising, because dogs are great.

As the rare person who feels pretty cool on Hathaway 2 (and politely: no, I'm not looking for you to tell me why I'm wrong, I feel how I feel), these days in UC the stuff I enjoy the most is the games. I'm not about GQuuuuuuX, I ain't out here reading Wearwolf. So it's stuff like Code Fairy (god, that was five years ago) and yes, the original narrative parts of UC Engage that I find myself enjoying. I do hope they'll make an anime adaptation sometime. Listen, it'll be stupid! The Peche Montagne story isn't, like, SMART. But it's fun, and charming. To me anyway. You can find a video version of this podcast for free on Scanline Media’s Patreon!

It's always funny to me when the Gundam Wiki goes out of its way to insist that something isn't canon. Like, sure. SD Gundam G Generation: Monoeye Gundams is not real. It didn't happen. But like... what did? You want me to believe that Unicorn happened and then just no one talked about the whole "this gundam can rewind time" thing? That Hathaway wasn't affected by any of that, at all? You're telling me that the Titans developed a machine in UC 0086 called the "Gundam Mk-II" when it was in fact something like the THIRTIETH gundam to exist at that point? All of this is fake. There's no Star Wars-style "Keeper of the Holocron," and I'm not convinced that's a good thing anyway. Who cares? Have fun!

It can be difficult to make a mecha's design really stand out when it's almost purely an unarmed fighter. Certainly there are plenty of examples, especially in the world of super robots, but limiting yourself as the Gundam Build series does makes for a bit of a challenge. Broadly, the Denial Gundam is equal to the task, but it's still true that it arguably looks better in its variants where it has more armaments to boast.

Everybody starts somewhere, and most beginnings are humble. And so there's nothing to be ashamed of with the furtive Newbatron, the starter mech from MechQuest. But you should maybe feel some sort of way about the state of your game's information resources. I want to know more and you are simply refusing to tell me.

Dylan made a comment about how they know some creatures actually do "swim" through sand, but uh... is that true? I know there are some in video games, for example Monster Hunter, but I don't think I'm aware of any real world creatures that can do that. I would be curious to learn about them, though!

It starts so promising. And hey, there are some winners near the end, too. But the middle is... well, a bit of a wasteland. It's probably because they tried to make so many combining toys.

It's always nice when we get to talk about Seed designs and just be... fairly positive? Because of course, we are usually harsh, because of our thoughts on that show and a lot of its designs. But I have no beef with the Murasame, a design whose restraint the rest of Seed could learn a lot from. Also no really, play Modded Marvel. Gamora and Gene from God Hand coming soon!

We all know that magic and mecha aren't opposing concepts. They can totally play nice together. And mecha and girls? Can go great, for sure. Or very bad, we cannot endorse the behavior of Garalia from Dunbine. But what about both? Magical girls and mecha? Well, I haven't seen Granbelm yet. But I'm optimistic.

I don't like the Ez-8. I don't like the Ground Gundam. I don't like the GM Ground Type. I don't like the Ez-SRs. But by the time we get to the FOXHOUND, by god, they've made it something I can enjoy. I am not even that much of an 08th MS Team hater! I don't like what that show's come to represent in the fandom, but it's fine. But damn, its mecha.

The thing is, both Tactical Armor and Metal Fake are great names. Tactical Armor is a really crisp genericism: you could use it in the rulebook for a mecha TTRPG and it would fit in very well as evocative shorthand for the general concept of mecha without being too bland. But then Metal Fake doesn't communicate the idea very well, but is just so rich with implication that it's fantastic. I think I PROBABLY like Metal Fake better, but Tactical Armor is making my mind race with possibility... oh, I can't decide!
