It's only because of Chris we even saw any of these... perhaps it's a bit greedy to want more details. But we do all the same. This collection of weirdos from a forgotten tabletop game run the gamut from cool as hell to interesting but odd to... why.... And thank god we have an excellent guest to discuss them with. Thank you so much to Thom for joining us!

In a desperate attempt to both make sense of, and make a meal of, a request, we head down a peculiar rabbit hole. What happens when model makers are just asked to make… debris? Join us for an exploration of the Star Trek TNG episode "The Best of Both Worlds," and more specifcially, the wrecks in the background of its scenes.

I wonder if this bizarre, forced bit of advertising worked on anyone. I wonder if anyone saw this gunpla and went "wow, that's true, I DO love Amazon." I guess it's more likely back then than it is now, because like all big American tech companies Amazon is really detested these days. Let this design call back to a simpler time. ...No, not the 00s, that wasn't a simpler time. I dunno, like 300 BCE or something.

So there's the Lfrith, and then there's the LFRITH. Y'know? I've been swayed by the argument that the XGF-01 and the XGF-02 represent entirely different trees of design- two houses, alike in dignity, or somesuch. So if you want the Aerial, and its predecessor the XGF-02 Lfrith? That's a different episode we'll do someday. Today, it's all about the 01, and its strange children. Two of them made all the stranger by the elements their designers put in that the show entirely discarded. You can find a video version of this podcast for free on Scanline Media’s Patreon !

The age of the gunner is over, the age of the gunner has just begun. By listener request, Dylan and I dive into one of the most OG of machines in Gundam- the original Zeon tank, the Magella Attack. It... never achieves anything of note, besides perhaps being turned into a gun for a Zaku. But still, the Magella is foundational to Zeon design, and just a fun guy besides.

Sometimes it's just one robot! That's ok. We all deserve a break sometimes. …Of course, we didn't take one, we just recorded a second ep immediately after this one, and I'll get that edited in the next day or two. But in theory we're allowed breaks! The Neodu is cool and I hope the next Build show, whenever that happens, gives us a fun variant of it.

I assume it's a portmanteau of "gallant" and "valiant?" Obviously neither of those have an E in them, but it's a language thing. In Japanese an E sound makes more sense there. All I have is my theories, because I've never seen this show, and I'm on the pod with two people who have a lot of thoughts about it.

This is our ninth SD Gundam episode, and I've already made all the jokes or cute wordplay. And some of y'all are like "oh were those supposed to be clever, before?" so I'm REALLY on thin ice. What I'll say then is that there's a real shortage of documentation of our final unit in this ep, and I am proud of us for being the ones to step up and do the work when others aren't.

Don't get a big head, folks. It just makes for a bigger target. Unless it's sufficiently up-armored, in which case maybe it's fine? Then again, I believe the "Danger Melon" that we're discussing today ended up in a fight against Chirico Cuvie, and such fights kinda only go the one way. But don't spoil for me, I don't actually know the answer to how it went! I guess it's POSSIBLE someone beat Chirico. Once. And then lost the rematch.

Gundam 00's Human Reform League are not about flashy designs. They're very utilitarian. And y'know? Of the three factions, they're the only ones who get CLOSE to achieving something against Celestial Being on their own. Perhaps that practicality really makes a difference.

The (Part 1) up there is a combination of my inherent anxiety-driven pedantry and a bit of a goof. I... don't think we'll ever do more Star-vaders. We probably shouldn't have done them in the first place. I goofed. But you never know, and so I feel the need to leave room. But in so doing, it's also like putting a gun on the table. It's a threat. We can always do more Star-vaders if I decide to be the enemy for a while. You can find a video version of this podcast for free on Scanline Media’s Patreon !

As far as angels go, this one appears to be willing to lend its wings to the devil. ...Cuz it's like the "throne" class of angels?

In fairness, the first half of the episode IS cleanup. It's only after the initial set that I just start making Dylan look at random mobile suits we haven't covered.

Gundam SEED is really just a tide of gundams. Like, whatever you think about the show's quality, you can't deny that it just introduces so, so many new gundams, significantly more than previous shows. And they can't all be winners, especially when you have legendary designer Kunio Okawara chained to his desk as he begs to be allowed to go home. No, Okawara. No. The episode comes out in three days, we need you to design five more gundams. Of course we don't care if they're any good, just get it done. The Raider is not his best work.

As similar as Starfleet's designs are at first glance, not all of the Federation's ships are created equal. And I'm sorry, but we just don't care for the Intrepid -class starship, or its most iconic representative, the USS Voyager, all that much. Still, it's always fun to talk about the odd and intriguing specifics of Star Trek. Even if we're very, very tired. You can find a video version of this podcast for free on Scanline Media’s Patreon !
