Make GMs great again!

I don't really want to get in the business of writing profiles, especially for well known MS.  The Sniper II gets a pass because it's my second favorite GM design (GM Custom for president!) and it also served as a useful experiment as to how I can have a single profile composed of multiple sources.   (Plus MG GM Sniper II hype!)   Blogger doesn't allow tabs within pages, so maybe that's a good reason to switch to Wordpress at this point, so the alternative method I used is just to put them in different posts with an HTML based menu.   Rocking it like it's 1999 Geocities.

It was an interesting experiment, and I got to pull another model manual out as well.

I accidentally pulled the page out of Gundam Mechanics in the process of scanning it though. :(  Good thing it lives in the Gundam Mechanics binder.

Pleased with the favorable results exhibited by the SC type, the Space Forces Headquarters hoped to introduce an improved unit for the assault on the Zeon home territories.

Dissappoint!

Well, I'd be lying if I said that the Macross Delta ending was worth it.  It felt okay at the time but if I stop to compare it, it's probably the weakest ending in the franchise, and that's including Zero.

The saltiness of both NA and Japanese audiences is real.  Everyone is hyped about resolving the triangle but that's really about it.    Especially the name drop of Megaroad-01 and then failure to actually do anything about it.

Yes, I went there.  At least things were actually resolved in Zero in a meaningful way.


Anyway, there is stuff being worked on, (sparked partially be a reddit discussion...)

Here is an exciting sample.  Yes, it's exciting.

As per usual, the translation is faster than getting the images cleaned up.
