Welcome to Gaia! ::

An ACROSS Mecha.... kinda like the one that Kabapu used, except better funded and with stronger joints?

I've actually noticed that, on certain english/jap voice settings (in the unbox version, I bought each separately), you still hear the pop even if the vid-notes are disabled. If you set it to 3/4 english or 4/4 japanese (using the "audio" button on the remote, you'll hear the pops. Also, you can adjust the subtitles, there are 5: 1/5 english all the time; 2/5 english when needed; 3/5 off with vid-notes; 4/5 english all with vid-notes; 5/5 english when needed with vid-notes. I guess you could also add 0/5 off, no vid-notes.

As for your mechas, I think they should be separate models, not succesors to each other. The A-1 should be the standard light model, equipped with basic weapons, the A-2 a heavier model with something more advanced but less speed, and the A-3 should be a heavy fighter-type unit with few weapons and more emphasis on hand-to-hand combat. But that's just my opinion. If you make this ever into an RP i'll pilot the A-2. biggrin

I have the same one. At first I thought it was a bootleg, but after a bit of research I found, I'm pretty sure it's not:

A: ADVFilms logo. Neither blurred nor removed once. This is a big identifier. Bootleggers always want to make the DVDs look like their own, not the company they steal from.

B: No malfunctions. Every last bit works perfectly. In both English and Japanese. I think there might have been an anchoring problem in a few episodes of the second disk (whenever I tried to skip the opening theme, it skipped a few minutes of the episode), but that's it.

C: Audio and visuals were completely clear and good to go, an extremely rare sight in bootlegs.

D: The subtitles and audios worked identically to the way JJ Kooms described 'em, if that counts for anything.

Regardless of this, I sent out an email to ADVfilms. I'll post here if I find out anything.

New model numbers (had to revise them a bit) and new mecha


ACROSS' mecha

Notes:
-The only real difference between the A-1, A-2 and A-3 is their looks.
-All three have light-weight, medium and heavy-wight variants.

A-1 Washington: looks like a small RGM-89 (about 30' tall)
A-1B Washington II: lighter and more durable than the A-1

A-2 Fairfax: less blocky in design than the A-1... and it has HAIR (don't ask why, it just does)!

A-3 Clinton: looks like a cross between an EZ8 and Heavyarms Custom


Knights of Solaria (mercenary group) mecha

Note:
-I haven't really designed any of these yet.
-The only real difference between the four are their looks.
-All four have light-weight, medium and heavy-wight variants.

S-1 Commadore: the mechs used by the Black Battallion
S-2 Arkahm: the mechs used by the White Battallion
S-3 Highlander: the mechs used by the Blue Battallion
S-4 Illani: the mechs used by the Red Battallion

It stinks at best buy, when you want to buy just the individuals (Like I did) you can't, since all they sell are boxes. That is a good thing, though, since you can get an entire series in one place.

Heheh vol. 8 edited. Very very nice.
