User talk:SonicSP

Hi, welcome to The Gundam Wiki! Thanks for your edit to the Anno Domini Mobile Units page.

Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! -- ValiantHeart (Talk) 04:20, 27 May 2009

Hello,I am a relatively new member to the wiki.I hope I would not offend anyone here and I am still unfamiliar with the sections.Is there a place to discuss aspects of the series,because I am sure some things are subject to intepration and may not be agreable with everyone.I hope I would fit in here

Worries about the leader!
Have you noticed how less Taikage has been coming on lately? I wonder if we should promote a substitue Admin or not? :I -Dav7d2 - The ChroniK Editor! 04:34, March 6, 2011 (UTC)

I think Sonic is already a admin, but I'm not 100% sure. On a side note, we need more stringent rules and regulations for creating pages, edits, references, pictures, etc.Gaeaman 788 - pilot of the RB-79/FS Ball Full Saber 06:24, March 6, 2011 (UTC)

Then create a forum page if you want harder restrictions on editors. -Dav7d2 - The ChroniK Editor! 07:51, March 6, 2011 (UTC)

uh, Sonic is not a admin as far as I know. -Dav7d2 - The ChroniK Editor! 08:44, March 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm not an admin as far as I'm aware. But I am quite sure that I am quite charming. Yeah, he seems to be less frequently than before though, maybe we should ask him what;s up since maybe his medical condition, or maybe he's just busier at work. -SonicSP 23:00, March 6, 2011 (UTC)

Hey, does this make sense to you? -Dav7d2 - The ChroniK Editor! 08:43, March 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * I think it was posted long time ago in animesuki, but the guy who posted it suddenly disappeared. SonicSP might know that guy. --Bronx01 13:22, March 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * It's math...it doesn't make sense to me at allGaeaman 788 - pilot of the RB-79/FS Ball Full Saber 15:06, March 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * This chart was made by someone called tanqexe, who was one of the more prominent Gundam 00 technology theorists back in the day. I love reading his theories since they're always quite deep because he tries to incorporate real scientific facts in them. I really miss him to be honest. Right before S2 ended he just suddenly disappeared and stopped showing up, I wonder if he just lost interest or whether something happened to him. In any case, he once told me that he was trying to get into medical school so maybe he's just to busy for Gundam fandom anymore.


 * You can read most of his theories here. A lot of it is interesting, some in my opnion are outdated due to the last time he updated them was before S2 ended, before we even saw Ptolemaios go TA even. As far as my "GN science believe" goes, some of them are direct from his theory while some are some updates I considered from info that was released later on. I hold this guy in very high regard.


 * This graph looks complex but its actually quite simple. It refers to in his theory the statuses of the GN-Drive Output, The GN Condenser Storage energy level and the GN Particle individual energy level while Trans-Am is initiated. Note that the following is his theory, not really a series fact.


 * Graph one showcases, his theory of the Drive output in Trans-Am. Essentially, the graph is stating that the Drive releases a large amount of GN Particles at the initiation of the mode all in a short amount of time. Its essentially saying that after the large amounts of particles is release in that single instance, the Drive cuts of the particle supply to the rest of the system after that one large initial pump.


 * The second graph depicts the particles and energy level of the Condenser system during the Trans-Am system. As the GN Drive pumps large amounts of particle in that one instant, all the particles in the condenser goes to a super high quantum state due to the compression and this high pressure state gradually dies out as the system runs for the 3 minute duration.


 * The third graph looks at the general energy state of a GN PArticle during these stages. The lowest aka the starting point is "the normal" state of GN Particle while the highest state depicted in red is the "Trans-Am state" of the GN Particle due to it's super high compression due to that "instant large volume pump" that the GN Drive initiated.


 * It's a decent theory but I would personally change it a bit to reflect the more frequent Trans-Am that we keep seeing, some of which does not involve any GN Drive system being present at all but its a decent one. -SonicSP 23:17, March 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * I take it would be reasonable to assume that graphs 1 and 3 go through the roof during Trans-Am Burst and probably during Quantum System use too. It's pretty neat, is there any more stuff like this?

Active Mass Balance Auto-Control
Can you add more to the AD section of that page please. Thanks in Advance! -Dav7d2 - Is happy to be an Admin! =D 06:17, March 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * There's not much to add since its essentially the same as the UC AMBAC. Unless you want me to take the general info from the UC page and copy some data there just to make it look nicer? I can do that if thats what your asking, although not at the moment since I have exams. -SonicSP 06:20, March 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * Eh, I was just wondering if theres anymore you can add too it, if not, then nevermind. -Dav7d2 - Is happy to be an Admin! =D 06:38, March 15, 2011 (UTC)

About GN Sefer
SonicSP: You would know better than me about GNR-000 GN Sefer. I know we talked about this before, but I had hoped some time had passed enough to be lead to some definitive data. GN Sefer was designed as a prototype bit transfer system for Rasiel, but according to the gunpla article, it can be fitted with the other third generation Gundams as well. I was going to mention this on the third gen Gundam pages, but i thought i pass this through with you first. What are your feelings about this? Taikage - Admin 09:45, March 19, 2011 (UTC)



PS: Think you can clear out your discussion page a bit? Apologies if i sound rude, but it is getting harder to talk at times.


 * Hard to say, GN Sefer is one thing I never payed attention to so my knowledge about it is relatively little. However, when it comes to the "extra" gunplas, they're special ability to combine with other suits is not canon I believe. At least, this is the case for the XN Raiser as well. Its more of a something made for gunpla fun as opposed to a in-story fact. I see this pattern quite regularly with the "extra gunpla" packs like Sefer and XN Raiser, mainly made for the fun of the modelers which is a trait they keep emphasizing on these releases. At least, this is my opinion on it.


 * It even shows it compatible with the Throne Zwei, which really screams to me that this aspect of the design is really made for out of story as opposed to a in-story ability since the Zwei is not of the traditional Ptolemaios/Krung Trep lineage. I personally trust model magazine picture depictions less than I do with "official model ad" pictures, like the ones you see in the manuals. -SuperSonicSP 01:49, March 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah this is more of a marketing gimmick to promote the Sefer that in-universe information. It's kinda like the XN gimmicks which I have a feeling weren't in universe. Gaeaman 788 - is a administrator 02:17, March 21, 2011 (UTC)

Mobile Suit Gundam 00 "The Second Birthday"
Have you ever heard of Yun Kougas side manga by that name? apparently its one-shot that takes place on the eve of the Trailblazer. It revolves around Ribbons and his life and how he met Alejandro and questions his existence, I was wondering if it was cannonical at all? -Dav7d2 - Is happy to be an Admin! =D 05:34, March 20, 2011 (UTC)

http://ninteenpointzerofour.wordpress.com/2010/07/08/kouga-yuns-the-second-birthday-nt-august/ Oh wait I found some information on it, its apparently a side story or something along those lines. -Dav7d2 - Is happy to be an Admin! =D 05:38, March 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * Okay, I'll get to it sometime. As for Yun Kouga's mangas,I am under the impression that they are canon for the most part, however I am not entirely sure.


 * In other words, I personally think they're canon. They haven't exactly contradicted anything AFAIK, but at the same time the neutral me cannot confirm the canocity. They usually expand on things that happen during timeskips. There was one where Setsuna met Lyle in a bar too for the S2 timeskip, this is how he knew of Lyle and how he later contacted him to join CB. -SuperSonicSP 01:45, March 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * ergh, well we can't do anything unless its canonical .... -Dav7d2 - Is happy to be an Admin! =D 01:49, March 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * My suggestion is to insert it. I think it seems canonical enough and it hasnt contradicted anything yet. So it acts a lot like a sidestory IMO. More often than not we judge canocity when it contradicts anything anyways. Like we discounted 00A because it easily contradicts the main movie easily and how we count in the novels because they synchronize almost perfectly with the anime depiction.-SuperSonicSP 01:53, March 21, 2011 (UTC)

"Unknown Sourcebook"
Of course, someone it gonna ask this sooner or later. So why did you list it as that? -Dav7d2 - Is happy to be an Admin! =D 05:04, March 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * This should explain:


 * Anyhows, this information came from a partial scan from a sourcebook we are not familiar with, or at least the scan was not enough for us us to identify the sourcebook. I pretty much got the text in said image translated in Suki, which I then posted here on Zook's 00 forum. Hence, I said unknown cos we do not know which sourcebook.


 * The double whammy of course, comes from us not knowing which book it was, but also due to the fact that this image is now deleted. At least the user posted one is as we speak. I originally wanted to put unknown source plus the link to the pic at least but the pic has been removed.


 * I thought about leaving the info citeless, but then again it is quite an important piece of info and I want at least the other editors to know it came from somewhere as opposed to a speculative piece of info. So I decided to just leave unknown sourcebook, with that disclaimer to contact me so I can explain how I got to know the info and the current state of where this info come from.


 * Anyways, the forum link has the accompanying translation by mike_s_6 as well, which I quoted from Suki. At least that is still there although the original image is not. -SuperSonicSP 05:14, March 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * slaps forhead* whatdo you know. The pic IS STILL THERE!!!!! Kay I'm an idiot then. -_- -SuperSonicSP 05:15, March 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm pretty positive that the said picture didn't even come from a sourcebook, but even less a magazine. -Dav7d2 - Is happy to be an Admin! =D 05:58, March 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * Heres the connection I made. Heres your photo, did you notice the hexagon with the word "column" in it? Heres what I am pretty sure are magazine scans   once again, notice it has the same hexagon with the word "column" in it. Thats my only connection I can make, since I haven't seen it any sourcebooks I have been through. -Dav7d2 - Is happy to be an Admin! =D 06:09, March 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * Do you happen to know where these scans are from? -SuperSonicSP 06:54, March 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * Sorry Sonic, I have no clue, I just know that these are scans that have been spread throughout the internet. None of my sources can tell me which magazine it came from. -Dav7d2 - Is happy to be an Admin! =D 07:11, March 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * It's okay. Don't worry about it. I think the imagelink should be good enough. -SuperSonicSP 07:12, March 23, 2011 (UTC)

Wisconsin?
Your in Wisconsin? I thought you were out of a different country. I live in Arizona, so I can see why their would be a 2 hour time difference. -Dav7d2 - Is happy to be an Admin! =D 08:34, March 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I live in Wisconsin at the moment. Though I am not a US resident, I'm just a student studying here for a few years. I originally came from Malaysia. I've only been here since mid January, so its still a bit new to me. Its pretty cold, even in late March but I like it. Where I come from, its hot all year round and while some may enjoy that, I'm frankly bored of it. -SuperSonicSP 08:50, March 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yeah, it gets pretty hot where I live, since its known for its heat -_-. Anywho, do you have a FB by any chance? -Dav7d2 - Is happy to be an Admin! =D 08:57, March 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm not a Facebook person so I don't use it very much (when most people use their freetime to do stuff on Facebook, I do the same intensity for 00 forums and this Wikia), but I still use it. Just search Zulfadzil Zulkifli

 * What does your profile picture look like? are you smiling or is there a game going on in the background? -Dav7d2 - Is happy to be an Admin! =D 09:04, March 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yeah...............there is a game going on in the background. Basically took an overseas trip to see my favourite soccer team like 3 something years ago. Was I smiling? I don't think so, but I should have had. I was just trying to look serious.


 * There isn't much pictures of me, as I said I don't FB a lot. I am doing it more often though now that the 00 Forums are dying down a bit. I really want a new AU series...........>__> -SuperSonicSP 09:09, March 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yeah Gundam/Gunpla all over seem to be dying down a bit. I guess when there isn't a show or "show to be expected", I guess it gets kinda dead. Yeah, a new AU series wouldn't be bad, I noticed you haven't really delved into the UC. I happen to have just started on UC, so far I've only seen Gundam Unicorn, Gundam F91 and War in the Pocket. Those are the easiest to start with, since there short and simple. Also have you tried AC yet? Oh, I found your profile, and sent a request. -Dav7d2 - Is happy to be an Admin! =D 09:20, March 23, 2011 (UTC)

I actually a bit hessitant to delve into UC due to the animation quality but I LOVEEE reading about anything UC related. Its a very deep world, historically, technologically and politically. But then again that is to be expected for a series thats more than 30 years old.

I'm not looking into AC at the moment, however I am considering watching Char's Counterattack later. I may notn have watched the original and Zeta but I am quite aware of their storylines in general. I dont think I will be watching ZZ anytime soon though. -SuperSonicSP 03:50, March 24, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Gallery Issues
Im looking at the GM Striker's page on Google Chrome and its fine to me. The Dynames page is fine too. Not sure if its your computer or the codingGaeaman 788 - The sign of Zeta leads to a dead end 22:28, April 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * Its not just the Dynames, page. All galleries on all pages are looking like that to me. It appears to be a problem when using the old skin, its fine when using the new one. Problem for me is, I hate the new skin quite a bit due to the allignment of the page (things are alligned to the left of the screen as opposed to the right on the old skin), so the articles all look super weird. *sigh* I really disliking Wikia for taking out all the old skins now........at least I can work with an old skin before, even if its not my favourite old skin. -SuperSonicSP 23:01, April 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hmm, its not just this Wiki though, I'm having the problem with all the Wikias. I wonder if there's a place I can ask for info about the issue. This is not enough to make me transition into the dreaded new skin however, I have far more prblems with that one as far as personal taste is concerned, but this is a massive inconvenience for viewing images.


 * For comparison basis, this is how it looks with the old skin, the one that appeared in the last 24 hours or so. This is how it appears in the new skin . The latter is fairly normal and is not in one long vertical line. -SuperSonicSP 23:13, April 15, 2011 (UTC)

Confusion
I am confused about the unit type on pages such as AMX-007 Gaza-E, I don't understand how it can be mass production and limited production. S im A nt 23:34, April 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm not a UC expert, but from my understanding limited production seems to mean a lower level of mass production (the SEM from 00 for example is classified as a mass production Seraphim, even though only two or 3 were made). "Production" in this context would mean producing a lot (even though linguistically this is not the case), and the word mass and limited would just refer to the scale. That's just my take though. -SuperSonicSP 02:55, April 28, 2011 (UTC)

Busy Recently
Been a bit busy with real life recently with final exams for the semester coming up. There's so much new flow of information coming from the forums especially in the sidestory department yet no time to update it now. I'll probably update them in a week or so when I'm more free. There's simply too much information, this update will take forever. >__> -SuperSonicSP 22:05, May 13, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Infobox
Redirects are good, the places where you don't want to use redirects i am currently working on Text in the infobox, but have run into technical problems with bugs/limitations/features, and may require another extension to attempt to accomplish this.

Raphael runs on a GN Condenser?
I'm not disputing you on the fact that Raphael runs on a condenser w/o Seravee, but doesn't that put Raphael at a huge disadvantage in battle? Assuming that they weren't dealing with aliens and stuff, there's not much physical evidence of a 3rd Tau Drive in Seravee IIGaeaman 788 - The sign of Zeta leads to a dead end 00:43, May 14, 2011 (UTC)

Hey does that mean that the Dominions GN-T Drive is in the Sera?Chriseasley 01:25, May 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * @Gaeaman: Thats what the book says, we have to take it at its word. Of course, there's really no clear visual evidence of any obvious Drive on base Raphael either so even if its in Raphael it has to be inside the actual suit away from obvious view. Prior to this, no source have elaborated on where the 3rd Drive was aside from the ones that can be visually be seen which are the in the GN Big Cannons. Its likely inside the actual torso of Seravee II I guess. I agree that its a bit weird decision to put all three Drives in one mobile suit but they've decide with this so that's that. Unless they choose to retcon it later or something.


 * Here's an interesting fact, all GN Drives in the Raphael lineage has been placed on their secondary forms once they seperate from the primary form: mainly Plutone's Core Fighter, Nadleeh, Seraphim and Seravee II get to keep the Drives (same goes for the GRM and Gadessa series). Of course only the last one is a multi Drive machine.


 * @chiriseasley: I do not know. Its likely and possible but we have no confirmation of that either or how many total Drives it has. The only confirmed Drive on Dominions is the one on the Virtue-type GN Bazooka which is stated in text of the chapter. -SuperSonicSP 03:46, May 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * Though this begs the question of why they would even bother making Seravee into a backpack when the Raphael is practically useless without. It just screams impracticality. -The Phantom Impact - The ultimate Super Robot from beneath the heavens 05:53, May 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * Probably because its actually hard to deploy the GN Big Cannons as remote weapons when Seravee II is active. Raphael is also much more general purpose than Seravee II and can act as a second MS if Tieria wished to dual tag. Utilising the GN Big Cannons II as the GN Claw is probably best with Raphael as well. I guess Tieria really felt like Seravee II needed all the juice it can get.


 * But losing Seravee II would really be a big blow if it were to happen, that would be the biggest downside. The question I have is why put the cockpit inside Raphael? It really does not look transferable, the height of their waists are quite far apart this time around. -SuperSonicSP 08:04, May 14, 2011 (UTC)

5th Generation
What up Sonic It me again and I wanted to ask you about the 5th G gundams. I can see how the 00 Qan(T) and Raphael are 5th G. but what about the Zabanya and Harute they were made from Cherudim and Arios so wouldn't they be 3.6Chriseasley 01:25, May 15, 2011 (UTC)

*sigh* I do not know. Quite frankly I agree with you, they should not be 5th Generation from what I can see. Because they were made with Harute/Zabanya frame design. Raphael should not even be one as well IMO, if the Twin Drive is the requirement for a 4th Generation level. I would be more happier if they retconned the non 00 S2 back to 4th Gundams again since that would make the current 5th Generation thign easier to understand(which was the case before the 2nd Mechanics book retcon it)


 * This could be part of an inconsistent on the part of the book writers (which quite frankly happens ALOT). There word "3.5" appears in the text above the chart I posted, so its possible they explained it, which is why I sent the scan to BraveComannder for translation.


 * My current theory is that the 3.5 thing is a special two tier generation classification that CB used to seperate the 00 from the other Gundams only when it comes to the "S2 Gundams" machines as a whole. If you look at the chart, the 3.5 and the 4th Generation were labeled in the same height, and with the same line that puts the "3.5" in a parenthesis. So it could be that they're just rounding up the 3.5, but still use it to seperate 00 from the rest and that they have decided to drop this for the next generation. That's my take of it at the moment.


 * But truly, the issue is confusing, which was why I am hoping the book clarifies it a bit more. -SuperSonicSP 01:31, May 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi Sonic I have another qeustion about the 5th G gundams, I've been reading their T&C and they say that 00 Qan(T) was designed and tuned specifically Setsuna, Zabanya was designed with Lyle Dylandy's more direct combat preferences, Harute was designed for both specifically Allelujah Haptism and Soma Peries, and Raphael was made and used for Tieria. So aren't all the 5th G gundams custom jobs.Chriseasley 16:26, September 9, 2011 (UTC)

Depends on your definition of custom jobs, fact of the matter is a lot of the Gundams have been been customized machines from the start in some definition. I believe I've read somewhere before that Exia was already customized for Setsuna's style somewhere before recently in one of the sidestories (I think it was in one of the 00P chapters) so it does suggest to us that the pilot gets some say in the actual development of the final product. In fact, more likely than not suits like Cherudim were already created with a specific pilot tuning in mind. In this example might still be Neil even though he's dead (and all they can actually base it on, being the predecessor suit pilot) and Lyle ends up using it. But you are right in a sense that we do hear more sources talking about how specific these 5th Gen designs were made for specific people like you have mentioned, at least they seem to be pointing it out more.

If I were to put it into words, I would say that the 5th Gens are more "customized" in general than before. I probably won't say that the previous Gundams werent customized at all but probably to a lesser extent than the 5th Generations were. Afterall, its probably not a smart thing to create a powerful single-unit suit without customizing it to a certain extent for the person you expect to pilot for a long time. Further "personal customization" is always possible though like how the 00 Gundam Seven Sword was specifically designed for Setsuna's style even moreso than the regular 00 Gundam.

Also, I think whenever they talk about Qan(T) being customized for Setsuna, it really appears to me to have a double meaning, more likely referring to that fact that its designed for an Innovator. He's Celestial Being's only one at that point so any Innovator function Qan(T) has can be mentioned as "designed for Setsuna" since he's the only one among them likely to use it. Qan(T) does require an Innovator just to pilot and use some functions like Quantum Burst or even just manipulating the Sword Bits. Not that there arent any personal traits of his there (because redundant swords and throwing flying blades are his thing in general) but I think the sources should be referring to the customization as an Innovator more than anything else. Having said that, its definitely tailored with him in mind though, don't think they (CB) can imagine anyone else using it. -SuperSonicSP 00:13, September 10, 2011 (UTC)

Something odd about some pages
Hey, have you noticed something weird with some of the pages? When I go to a page (I was just at the Impulse's page) the user accommodation is...out of the infobox. It's written like User Accomodation:: Pilot only, cockpit in lower torso using [[YFX-M56S Core Splendor|]] at the very top of the page. It's been going on throughout some pages, and when I try to edit the page, the WYSIWYG format says that it's perfectly fine.Gaeaman 788 - The sign of Zeta leads to a dead end 05:27, May 19, 2011 (UTC)

Seravee II
Seravee dont have 3 gn drive taus instead 2 gn drive taus and 1 large gn condenser, leaving raphael on 1 gn drive taus. the legs also can perform secret attack, leaving seravee II on the large gn condenser(and Seravee II can move also with its large gn condenser and attack with bazooka).


 * Both the Final Mechanics and the 00 Movie Dengeki Data Collection sourcebooks disagree with you. Both specifically mention that Seravee has three Drives equipped on it, the Final Mechanics book in particular mentioned that Raphael goes with the Large GN Condenser when it separates. Prior to this, we speculated that one Drive was on Raphael (which is a reasonable first guess) but the sourcebooks have put the issue to rest. Why the hell did Tieria decide to put all the Drives on Seravee and not leave any for Raphael? I don't know, just that he did.


 * The issue was also discussed recently on this very talk page, a few topics above this one. Its right after I posted posted the information into the articles. -SuperSonicSP 09:59, May 20, 2011 (UTC)

About Lyle
Sonic, based on the show and some of the sources you put on Zabanya's & Cherudin's pages, would it be safe to say that Lyle is better in close combat than Neil was. Because even though he is the sniper of the team, Lyle's more directly engaged in combat with enemies with Cherudim, and Dynames only used its beam saber twice. So I was wondering if that was applicable to Lyle's pageGaeaman 788 - The sign of Zeta leads to a dead end 05:38, June 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * Im not sure, I think it's better to say that he's bettet at direct combat/general purpose combat than sniper as opposed to saying that Neil is bad at it. You have to take into account Cherudim's more easier to use melée capabity based on design as well.


 * in other words, I think we should just say Lyle is a more direct combat oriented rather indirect sniper oriented. Close combat would not necessrily be the best description, since Zabanya is designed for a lot of long range attacks as well, just that they thy are used/piloted is more suited to a conventional pilot rather than one who manually aims for everything with the lightgun. -SuperSonicSP 06:38, June 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * But yeah, the whole pilot skill thing seems applicable to Lyle's page. I just think it's better to say that he's less sniper and more normal fighting oriented guy. Of course, Neil bet once with Ian he never needed to use the beam sabers of which he lost. But it's impossible to tell this objectively since Neil never got a chance to use Cherudim, and we don't know whether any of the pilots are overall better than the other. But we do know that Lyle is more suited for more general purpose type fighting, that may be the key word I think. -SuperSonicSP 07:22, June 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, it's clear that Neil isn't the best at close combat with Dynames, but that can be attributed to Dynames being too specific of a sniper unit or Neil's actual skills. I'll put in that Lyle's more suited as a general purpose (which could be taken as being a more well rounded pilot) pilot.Gaeaman 788 - The sign of Zeta leads to a dead end 23:28, June 11, 2011 (UTC)

00 Raiser shape
I read somewhere before that the 00 Raiser is meant to be shaped like a bat. Is this true, and if it is, do you know where this came from? --Bronx01 (talk|contribs) 14:41, June 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * I..........I do not know whether its true or not. Even if it is, its likely to be some comment by a designer or something. I have never heard about this, so I really cannot comment about how real this is.


 * I will say that it does not look like a bat to me though. Well, maybe a bit when the Raiser wings are seen "flapping" horizontally though, which it does a lot of the times we see 00 Raiser in action. -SuperSonicSP 15:40, June 10, 2011 (UTC)

Sorry Ascended. I am too embrassed to ask her again. That woman has done too much for the Gundam 00 community, including buying and ripping out the pages of the Mechanics sourcebooks just so she can share it with us the high quality scans; not to mention her news updates. And she frequently helps me out with any referencing questions I need. I.......I am too embarased to ask her again. And she has to do most of the work here, not me. -_-

I'll save this and give it to her in the future, but at the moment I'll just hold on to it. Sorry, I wish I could help, but I do not feel like burdening her at the moment. I actually think she would take on the job, but I frequently ask for her help in a lot of matters, and I do not feel like using up her goodwill at the moment. Maybe later okay? Sorry, I'm being dramatic, but I really think I ask her help too often.

Okay, I asked her anyways and this is what she said:


 * Tell your friend that MAHQ's profiles for Turn A and Turn X already have the contents of those blurbs nearly word for word.


 * The only other notable point is that it repeats the idea that the Turn X Top (the head) can serve as a control system for the Keilas Guillie from Victory.

Blue GN Particles
I was the one who added that Blue colour to the GN particles, thanks for clarifying that. I had a sneaking suspicion that it was just some artisitic styling, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to try. I'm not too experienced on anything outside of the anime, so sorry about any inconvenience. ^_^; XBiocorex 17:26, June 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * No problems, no harm done. I got a sense of goodwill from your edits on the GN Particle and Qan(T) pages, so I knew you were not a new user that's here to vandalise the pages or something (and unfortunately we do get that from time to time, so we have to be careful). I also partly wrote that wall of text for your benefit, I did not want you to think I was some veteren guy who deleted it for the sake of deleting it. I had a very good factual reason to do it and I did not want you to feel unwelcome or anything. Don't worry about it.

About Astraea Type F
I'm working on the article right now and I wish to complete it by tonight. I'm a bit confused by some information. I'm not sure if it's you who wrote it, but someone wrote that Fon Spaak abandoned the unit and its GN Drive, but I thought all GN Drives were in use by the the Ptolemy team. Could you give me some clarity please? Thanks. Taikage - Admin 04:54, June 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm not SonicSP, but at the end of the 00F, Fon Spaak, after getting his hands on a super computer terminal (the supposed to be Veda in the moon), left the Astraea F2 and its Drive on the moon. That happened before Season 2 date.


 * About the drives. S1, the Ptolemy have 4 of the drives and the other was said to be with the Fereshte. After Celestial Being's defeat, Fon recovered Kyrios' GN Drive. Fereshte got 2 drives. Fon took the Astraea F2 and Hixar took the Sadalsuud F; each of them containing true Gn Drives. At the end of 00F, Fon left the Astraea F2 on the moon, which Celestial Being recovered, while Hixar returned the Sadalssud F. With that, the main Celestial Being team/Ptolemy II have the 5 Gn Drives by the time the events of Season 2 hits.


 * --Bronx01 (talk|contribs) 05:31, June 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * ^What he said. The statement was referring to the Astraea F2 and at the end of 00F, which takes place during the TV Series timeskip. The Ptolemaios team was inactive at that point so some of the 5 Drives were being used.


 * By the way, I think we should implement the heavy weapons type variant on the page that was discussed in the talk page. -SuperSonicSP 14:27, June 17, 2011 (UTC)

Which trigger quantatization? - Twin Drive System or Raiser System
Confused with this wiki abit. Raiser System page stated it was Trans Am Raiser the one trigger quantatization ( however, based on my understanding from the anime, it was Twin Drive System which do that sort of magic move while Trans Am Raiser? Seriously, it was the name of the Gigantic Beam Sword Attack isn't it?) Gundamfan99 00:26, June 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'll check the page later and see any disrepencies, I have not read it in a while. Although technically it is an observed assumption that 00 Raiser can only use quantum teleport while its in Trans-Am. As I've mentioned in the Raiser System page, the term Trans-Am Raiser is used for two things: 1)the giant sword and 2)00 Raiser while its in normal Trans-Am. They are seperate meanings. In this case, it should refer to the latter.


 * Of course, the Twin Drive System is the reason why quantisation is possible due to its large ouput and such however whenever a sentence says that quantisation is usable only in Trans-Am Raiser, its saying that only 00 Raiser in Trans-Am can use it.


 * We still do not know what "activates" 00 Raiser's quantisation, because its not a machine ability and a byproduct of the Twin Drive, with no visible and obvious control methods. Its not like Trans-Am which was unlocked and can be readily use by the pilot anytime thereafter on the machine's user interface. Its not totally random either, Setsuna gets some say on when it uses it but whatever that method looks uncertain.


 * My personal theory is that Setsuna's quantum brainwaves can unconsciously activate it by interacting/resonating with the Twin Drive (much like his QBW resonate with the Twin Drive to use Trans-Am Burst); which may explain why he has no direct conscious control over it; at least not in the same way he swings a sword or press a button to activate Trans-Am. Setsuna may have been in the early stages if Innovation when it first appeared, possibly for some amount of QBW to start appearing. That's my theory anyways. -SuperSonicSP 14:07, June 24, 2011 (UTC)

About Virtue/Nadleeh
Since we know that Nadleeh can deploy by itself in emergencies, and that the Virtue armors are add ons on top of Nadleeh, would it make sense to list Virtue's Particle and Physical armors as optional arms for Nadleeh?Gaeaman 788 - The sign of Zeta leads to a dead end 04:31, June 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * I've had this thought before myself actually, but I decided not to do so.


 * Normally, I would agree but some 00P chapter paratranslations I've read really emphasizes/implies the "single unit"-ness of Nadleeh/Virtue. Nadleeh was never designed to be a stand alone machine under most circumstances, and its supposed to be equiped with Virtue armor most of the time. This is why I hessitate with putting Virtue as "optional equipment" when its supposed to be there in 95% of the scenarios in design plan. If anything, one can argue that "Nadleeh" is actually an "optional form" of Gundam Virtue based on how their building-up/explaining Virtue in the 00P (as well as its usage in the anime), but putting that on the Virtue Particle page is going to be hard.


 * Virtue Physical of course, is not used often/at all so the "its supposed to be there 95% of the time" argument does not work here. I hesitate with Physical for a different reason. Physical is actually barred from being deployed at all by Veda; the reason being that Veda does not want the enemy to know the commonpoint between Virtue Physical and Virtue Particle (Particle has been chosen at ths point) which is Nadleeh. Because its been banned from being used lawfully, even though exists, I wonder whether the optional part should be placed since using Physical is not really a legal option for the Ptolemaios team. These are my argument/reasonings. -SuperSonicSP 14:09, June 28, 2011 (UTC)

Credit to the Brave
Sonic I've been reading the T&C characteristics of both Brave types and it said that it was desiged by engineers from the Union and AEU, but is also said that when it tranformation it's arms are being folded to the rear which is from the data that they took from Kyrios when the HRL captured it so shouldn't say thay also helped.Chriseasley 17:14, July 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * There's a difference between contributing some data in helping the design, then actually engineering the thing yourself. The HRL is not involved with the designing of the Brave at all to my knowledge, their only known involvement probably contributing the transformation data from captured Kyrios.


 * The first line about the AEU and Union designing the Brave is primarily saying that they designed the Brave. The fact that HRL contributed some data still does not change that fact. It is not that the HRL did not help, the sentence is essentially just naming on the primary designers of the machine (as opposed to naming all those who contributed to the project); which is an engineering team from both the AEU and Union. It certainly not out of the question for the HRL to share data on Kyrios, without having any of their personnel actually participating in the design team. -SuperSonicSP 17:59, July 23, 2011 (UTC)

those infos were sent to me via emails by acquaintances from within sunrise, most of them will be posted to the more accurate and authentic japanese gundam wikia, which this wikia lack of. what i did was merely improving the detail level and accuracy of this site. so would you please kindly stop deleting my edits. thx.

"empirical" or "empiricle"? and how do i present my evidence?

Content Team Assistance
Hi! I'm Mark, from Wikia's Content Team. As the wiki is doing so well, I thought I'd drop by and offer my assistance. The wiki is already in a great state, but if there's anything you'd like to see fixed just ask me :).

Naturally I won't do any of this without the permission of the local admins, so I'm leaving all admins this message.

00 Raiser
Excuse me, a sentence in 00 raiser page states that the 00 gundam has an angelic-like form after combining with the 0 raiser (second paragraph of "Technology & Combat Characteristics"). Do you agree with that? I think we should remove that since I see no angelic form in 00 raiser at all. Well, I think I need to ask for your (the admin's) oppinion before remove it. Thx Pronunciation 12:12, August 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * It does look a bit like an angel in my opinion especially when it has Raiser those wings of light but this is a very subjective manner. You may remove it if you feel like it does not fit; I'm neutral in opinion to the angelix description. If you feel like it does not fit, then by all means remove it. You can also ask the other editors and see what they think. -SuperSonicSP 19:27, August 23, 2011 (UTC)

New or Old members
Hi sonic I wanted ask who are the pilots of Exia R3 and Raphael D since Setsuna and Tieria are not on earth anymore are their new members of what?Chriseasley 17:15, September 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * Don't know, their main pilots were never really mentioned. It's probably safe to put Setsuna as the R3's pilot because we knew from Veda2314 Twitter he piloted the Exia to get to Saji/Louise during the movie's events. Dominions appearance did start post movie after Tieria had supposedly left with Setsuna so we don't know who piloted the Doninions at this pointz. -SuperSonicSP 22:48, September 3, 2011 (UTC)

Though we don't know if Exia R3 was used in 2314 by Setsuna. We know that R2 was used to get to Saji & Louise, but not R3.Gaeaman 788 - The sign of Zeta leads to a dead end 12:30, September 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * Actually, it just said Exia, no indication of II or III. The assumption that R3 is used is based on the facts that:


 * 1) R3 used Condenser; CB used these things now instead of GN Drives on old Gundams
 * 2) R3 is developed with concealing much of CBs operation in mind, which is what they are trying to do in 2314.

--Bronx01 (talk|contribs) 15:33, September 4, 2011 (UTC)

Well that makes sense, has anyone translated the story for "Fight for Dialogue" yet?Gaeaman 788 - The sign of Zeta leads to a dead end 15:52, September 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * EDIT: I think Japanese wikipedia points to R3 being the upgrade of Exia R2 after its battle against 0 Gundam (Ribbons), and it cited the 00V. I think that should be an indicator that it is R3 that Setsuna could have piloted (if Veda2314 is to be believed).

--Bronx01 (talk|contribs) 15:55, September 4, 2011 (UTC)

So all evidence points to R3 being used by Setsuna I assume? I'm willing to put it on the page if that's enough information, or should we wait until Fight for Dialogue is translatedGaeaman 788 - The sign of Zeta leads to a dead end 16:16, September 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * I have doubts it would be fully translated or that anything else that may help us is in it. E08 has a very good eye on important points as he has showcased in his 00N transcripts and he only provided the new rifle cloaking info that I placed earlier. So I doubt the chapter would help that much further.


 * Having said that, it's important to note that we go by a "Known Pilot" system. It can be safely assumed that the R3 was created straight from damaged R2 of the previous two repairs are any indication. Even of this gets mostly used by some random CB guy later, we just need some semi confirmation that Setsuna used it and that should be enough to list him under the "Known Pilots" category even if it turns out that he didn't pilot it the most; which is always plausible. I think we should put it in if it's not done already. -SuperSonicSP 06:08, September 5, 2011 (UTC)

Mini Raiser Sword
Hi Sonic i was watching a old episode of 00 gundam season 2 and I saw something odd, before Gadessa can shoot the mega launcher it's stoped by two large beam swords so does that mean 00 raiser can make a mini raiser sword?Chriseasley 19:46, September 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * Are you referring to Episode 14 where 00 used two giant beam sabers to cut down the asteroid the Gadessa was standing on? We can probably guess that those are from GN Sword II beam sabers. The GN Sword II comes with a beam saber mode and has been seen twice including the scene your referring to and the other instances is when Setsuna used it as the tip of a "spear" (of his Staff GN Sword II) in a stabbing motion against Susanowo in Episode 22, which of course Susanowo deflected and disarmed the GN Sword IIs in a counter move.


 * If the links don't work, directly copy paste it into your browser.


 * Here's an illustration of it from the 1/100 00 Raiser manual; its the most bottom picture of the GN Sword II section:
 * http://www.dalong.net/review/00/0113/p/0113_mb0011.JPG


 * Here's another one seen being used by the HG 1/144 Trans-Am Raiser kit:
 * http://www.dalong.net/review/00/0h42/p/0h42_33.jpg


 * The size in general appears smaller in this pictures but I assume that like other beam sabers of this generation they are size variable and we do know Trans-Am can be used to increased blade size to the huge size it was seen in in Episode 14. -SuperSonicSP 03:47, September 18, 2011 (UTC)

Seven Swords in SRW Z2
Hi there... Have you ever played Super Robot Taisen Z2 (PSP)? I played it recently and find an odd thing about Exia. In the game, the GN Sword is Exia's weakest attack that belong to the category of seven swords (I've written it in notes & trivia of Exia's page). Do you think that this is a mistake from the game's developer? Or it is true that the GN Sword is the most non-lethal among the seven swords? Please note that usually Super Robot Taisen series is very accurate about the units specs in the game (eg: DRAGOON weapons cannot be used on earth, Wing 0's vulcan is stronger that the regulars, etc). Thx for your opinion... Pronunciation 07:57, September 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * I never played any of the Super robot games so I cannot say but Exia's GN Sword should not be the weakest of the Seven Sword by any measure. So yeah I think its a mistake.


 * Having said that, each solid sword of Exia's are more specialised weapons that are created for different situation. For example, Exia's main solid sword is the largest and with this it should be the most powerful when it can be swung at full force. The advantage of the smaller solid swords is that they require much less force exerted (being lighter and smaller) to reach enough momentum to reach the critical point where they can deal decent damage, thus they are more advantageous in times where Exia has much less swing space. If we compare all of them at their fastest speeds and best swings, the original GN Sword should deal the most damage in theory because it is presumably the heaviest and largest of all of them (this should be the "general measure of level if we were to simplify something into a game like mode). Yet in situations where Exia have much less swing space, or places where Exia cannot swing the sword to its fullest velocity, then smaller lighter and can reach their effective velocity easier and faster and less space than the larger GN Sword.


 * One example of the GN Sword not doing well without enough swing space is in Season 1 Episode 3, where the sword barely dented Sergei's High Mobility Tieren at all. These types of situations are in theory more advantageous for smaller swords, or as the the events that showed, beam sabers.


 * For the record, no stats have been given out on any of the swords but there should be no reason on why it should be the weakest out of the seven swords, especially once you take into account the GN Short Blade there, which is a very small sword indeed and it hasn't been described anywhere as being a super powerful weapon or anything. Now since the Blades are usually used in pairs, maybe as combo they might be more powerful but even that is hard to measure or be certain. The only piece of information that might help that representation in the game is the fact that the GN Blades had the most development time of all Exia's weapons (according to the HG Exia manual) but that's all.


 * This is all of course a very subjective topic because we don't have any stats or descriptions but the main GN Sword being the weakest should not be the first obvious conclusion one usually comes to in my opinion. Games are also not usually a source of good canon (they've been labeled under the Black category too by Sunrise), even if the series have a good track record of representing stats before. -SuperSonicSP 00:11, September 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * Whoa, such a detailed and clear information you give. Actually I also agree with you that GN Sword should not be the weakest among the seven sword. Your explanation makes me more convinced that this is a mistake from the game developers. And yeah, your assumption is right. The GN Blades are the strongest attack among the seven sword (the second strongest after Trans-Am attack). And it is received earlier in the game. Well, thx a lot, Sir. Maybe my question is actually not important. I'm only so curious why the GN Sword is weaker than its seven swords companion, even weaker than the beam saber. I sure hope that this glitch will be rectified in the next SRW games. It's bothering me, somehow. Once again, thx a lot... Pronunciation 02:24, September 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * If its on the PSP, maybe I should consider getting it. I'm always up for a Gundam game.


 * In any case, it is possible that the developers consider the GN Blades as a pair rather than individuals. I don't know the numbers, but if for example the GN Sword was 100 and if the Long Blade was 70 and the Short Blade was 50, than the result of the Blade pair would be 120. In the end if they are always used as a pair, them being stronger should not be out of the question since they are "two" swords rather than one, even if they're not that big. GN Blades also used two arms in its attack and one can logically assume that two power conduits to power two seperate blades can be more powerful than one. Outside of a game though, one can assume that the tradeoff of using the Blades would be the shield not only becomes harder to use but weighs on the left-armed blade as well. I don't think they should be Exia's strongest even as a pair but I think they are still not to be trifled with.


 * Whatever the case, the GN Sword is definitely Exia's best weapon simply because of the fact that it has a rifle mode, which is important attacking aspect for Exia. In addition, it also acts as a smaller "right handed" shield for Exia, which I think Exia partially made us back in Season 1 Episode 1. So its overall versatility relative to the GN Blades is unquestionable. Its only weakness is that in some situations its size becomes a handicap rather than a strength, but I believe covering this weakness would be the reason why the GN Blades were created in the first place, which makes the three swords synch well with each other as a package. The fact that Exia can easily switch between one and the other in combat (the weigh of the shield and the GN Sword on the arms the only weakness in regular use) makes it a good concept.

Too bad the GN Sword Kai on the R2 rendered the GN Blades obsolete though.-SuperSonicSP 02:59, September 26, 2011 (UTC)
