No late UC thread? Let’s change that. Anything new going on with Gundam F90 Cluster?

Really surprises me that for whatever reason neither the wiki nor MAHQ have updated the RF Gyan’s profile, usually they’re lightning fast with this kind of thing. And asking again if there is any new monthly mobile machine bio?

Which one? The monoeye ones from end of FF were just disguised to hide affiliation to Buch.
The prototype thingie from one of the recent Cluster chapters hasn't been explained yet but it's probably simply a general use test unit with a bunch of different ideas slapped on, some that worked out and some that didn't. We'll probably get a MMM about it at some point. They're clearly taking their time with these, we don't even have a Verethragna lineart yet.

Cluster is all over the place with characters. You had the F80 Gunraid trio that was literally traced over DBZ designs of Android 18, Android 16, and Dodoria, with slight alterations. Then there is this beyblade looking guy, and probably more that are undiscovered if you looked closely.

artists have no obligation to force themselves to follow an idea, let alone when one thing is anime and the other a manga. Hardly the first case with Gundam either.

>>23758300
There was a time when Gundam was simple with just the animes and novels of the 80s and reference books like Gundam Century and MSV and Entertainment Bible.
Mid 90s did expand OYW with 08th MS Team, and its DVD documentary on Battle Loum and paved way for video game stories like Blue Destiny and Gihren's Greed.

I like what they did here, basically it was thought up on in universe but never went pass the drawing board for obvious reasons, essentially pic related on its “canon” status
>>
>>23760733
In fairness that was always the "in-universe" description, but I think this is the first time it's included in a purely UC book and not treated as a card game original. Incidentally I wish there were better quality pics of the art from all these different card things

>>23761735
A EFF desk officer who really liked the era of larger MS proposed a 18m tall F91 with extra armor and armaments. SNRI called him retarded and shot the proposal down, but also quietly admitted the RR would probably have been on par with the F90 in terms of performance
>>
>>
>>23762018
It still has a Bio-Computer, it can still move really fast, it still has after-images with mass, it still has beam shields, and it has 8 fucking VSBRs. Pretty sure it can do better than the F90 and most of its Packs.
>>
>>23761735
Says it was SNRI's proposal to the more conservative factions who wanted a successor to the standard MS. It equips "Grow Up" units on the arms and legs, mounted with weapons (VSBRs/beam sabers) to extend the size of the F91 to match the standard MS size and make the AMBAC and handling closer to traditional MS, as well as making it compatible with old weapons. It's literally a F91 with heel inserts to look taller. In fact, now that I look at it you can literally see its normal legs and feet just jutting out of the leg thing.

There ought to be more, considering that Proto-Jamesgun kicked F80's ass years ago at that point. It would be equal parts funny and sad, if AE couldn't produce more units than SNRI and their friends (Zimmad, etc)

No, Proto-Jamesgun was Hardygun's competitor as well. It was made at AE's Von Braun branch, while Hardygun was made at Granada.
Also by the time of the movie F91 was ready for quite some time minus the bio-computer.
>>
>>
>>23762200
I thought you meant the end of the Mars fight in Cluster, my bad. Jamesgun won in the competition so it beat its ass in that way, yeah.
And true with F91, but it's not really complete without the biocomp.

>The F90II shares the same biocomputer and psychoframe as the F91
>The I-type's shield incorporates Minovsky Flight
>The I-type's concept of ‘shield-mounted Minovsky Flight’ evolved into the beam rotors in Victory

Knowing that Jupiter phantom/Oldsmobile managed to fulfill various unused/Unmade principality designs like the atmospheric entry zaku, I wouldn’t be surprised that they had a RF Dogzam on board waiting to unleash fury. Note: it’s a smaller unmade 30/40 meter machine part of the Big Zam family. This is also from MSV90

didn't have space to add here, worth noting "Area Dominance MS" is a very specific term that's only been used to describe the TR-5 [Hrairoo] variants due to their high speed and firepower relative to contemporary models. Though of course there's plenty other suits that could fit that definition, like ZZ
>>23764840
Wouldn't surprise me, but it's not like anyone was ever hiding that BESPA is using SNRI tech. It's their own stuff after all. And Mobile Machine certainly began as simply an enthusiast hobby magazine, it's clear that it's now being transformed to serve the Zanscare regime.

Might as well be. It's been 100 years, 10-ish different Neo-Zeons, and a couple of home planets, colonies, and asteroid bases apart at this point so someone basing their theme around 18th century France and calling themselves Zeon would make just as much sense.

Honestly Gundam Century and MSV were ground zero of what made Gundam more complicated, but you can't really complain because that's the shit that really cemented Gundam as real robot in the first place.
I think the funny thing is how Gundam Century literally started off as fanfiction before it was officially adopted by Sunrise. MSV too, it began as Okawara fanfiction, but eventually a lot more people and Bandai themselves got involved and forced Sunrise to include some suits in Z; apparently Sunrise is still sore about it not being an original Sunrise creation.

Without any context that DOES look really shady doesn't it? Not like there's many people that know the truth, and none that can really share it besides Rosemary but that's uh... yeah.
So of course anti-Feddie and anti-SNRI groups would use that.

soooo... time skips? something both FF and Cluster use pretty often?
>>
>>23765748
I was going to argue a bit, but I missed the fact that there was a year long timeskip in chapter 19, so it's more like ~4 months timeskip.
The question is whether they want to step on F91 movie toes, which begins in a few weeks after the end of Silhouette Formula.

they aren't afraid of depicting stories set after the movie, if anything they're part of the point of the project
>>
>>23765779
>>23765781
That's not quite what I meant. I know that the last part of Climax UC story happens during F91 (aside from Crossbone epilogue which is basically non-story). And I know that Ghost of Formula happens after the movie (and was supposed to be a part of larger project connecting it to Victory). The thing is, those flash forwards aren't any different from Bergh stuff in FF.
It's just I don't see how Cosmo Babylonia war would fit into current story at all. Not to mention Lyle's part in the prologue gave off the feeling of it being a thematical culmination to the story, but it wouldn't surprise me if timeline wise it would end with Bergh recieving F90I.
>>
>>
>>23765793
I think we're too early to make assumptions about the story like this, FF changes focus and grew in scope quite a lot throughout its length. Granted, we've no idea how long Cluster could be but if we assume it's around the same as FF we're only like a third of the way through it. A lot could still happen and most likely will.

could be a variant, they've been hyping it up for so long but the Rochester Goog is supposed to be the very best Oldsmobile suit, period. Would be strange if it's inferior after so much build up OR if it's better without being something like RF Zeong which it clearly ain't.

Yeah, it's been pointed out before. It wouldn't be the first time you have weird, out of place shonen protagonist looking characters prancing around in UC.
The only time it gets bad is when they actually start acting like Shonen protagonists/villains. Which is what happens when someone like Hasegawa or the people behind Unicorn and Narrative gets full creative control.

I think I was one of the people telling you it's stupid lol
in my defense we could not have predicted the dang thing is a UC 0121 design, it feels like one of the early projects. But if it's a buddy with the I-Type these mini-Minovsky flight units might be pretty solid after all.
Incidentally I hope we get some stuff on the L-type too, the other iconic F90II pack
>>
>>23766923
I think it was an early mission pack because it was said that the chest mounted machine cannons were used as data reference for future machines like the F91 and by extension the silhouette and hardygun. Good chance it may still show up to kick assay bergh in the cockpit

I mean, this mobile machine states it was only rolled out in UC 0121 so by that point F91's design should have been mostly finished. So it's kinda strange the only other blurb about J-Type says that's where F91's machine cannons come from.
We see those a lot in the era so I guess the design in general isn't a new concept at this point, F91 is simply using the specific model from the J-Type or something like that.

It was indeed finished as early as 116, pretty remarkable that it was already a fairly recent machine by the movie but not outright brand new, then again so was the den’an zon which also rolled out the same year or next

Definitely more than one guy, there's always some dumb fucks in general staff who keep insisting on the biggest, toughest guns even if it's completely divorced from reality of combat. Sprinkle in some engineers who have only theoretical knowledge egging them on and there you go. Same story as F91RR and F50.
