I thought you'd all like to see this. I have this link posted in my journal as well, along with some notes on the pictures, but I figured that I'd might as well show you hardcore Zeon fans directly.
Some information on MS Era:
Quote:
A while back I found something truly interesting; a thing that I honestly think that all UC Gundam fans must see. This amazing find was a website that contained the pictures of Mobile Suit Gundam: MS Era.
Don't worry, it may be an Italian site, but the captions are in English. I must warn you, though, that some parts either feature out-dated translations or incorrect translations (e.g. one caption claims that Gihren is the brother of Degwin).
Mobile Suit Gundam: MS Era was created by Yutaka Izubuchi, the Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: A War in the Pocket mechanical designer. It does contain quite a bit of useful information and dates, although some parts aren't really taken as part of the "accepted" timeline anymore.
Does it mesh perfectly with all other UC Gundam sources?
No. It has its fair share (okay, more than its fair share) of inconsistencies. Then again, you can say the same about most Gundam source publications.
One of the things you may notice right off the bat are the MS-06 Zaku IIs presented. They all seem to be MS-06FZ Zaku II FZs, don't they? This obviously impossible as the MS-06 Zaku II FZ was produced during the back-end of the war. There is, however, an easy explanation. Originally, Yutaka Izubuchi intended for the Zakus he designed for Mobile Suit Gundam 0080 to just be updated mechanical designs of the MS-06 Zaku II, not an entirely new MS-06 Zaku II in-of-itself. Obviously that didn't happen. As such, all of the Zakus you'll see in MS Era will seem to be the Zaku II FZ, because Izubuchi never intended them to become an entirely new Zaku II variant. The same can be said of the RGM-79 GMs we see in this picture, which have entered UC Gundam history as the RGM-79G (RGM-79GS) GM Command despite Izubuchi's intentions; as well as the RGM-79SP GM Sniper II, which Izubuchi intended to be the RGM-79SC GM Sniper Custom.
There are, however, some good things that we get from Mobile Suit Gundam: MS Era. These include roll-out dates for the RGM-79 GM, the MS-R09 Rick Dom, and the MS-14 Gelgoog. It also gives us the birth year Zeon Zum Deikun and the year Side 2 was completed. And those aren't even all of them.
The illustrations are absolutely awesome. You may even spot some of your favorite characters from UC Gundam.
Enjoy!
