Yarrrr! It's time to sail the sea of stars! Partially! In truth, there are like a billion Crossbone Gundams, and we're taking only a small subsection of them on today. But also I value my sanity, and these machines are like... mostly cool with mega cringe elements! So let's just get started.

I am guessing most of you are here saying "what's Metatron?" Or if you're a pedant like me, "what's Metatron in this context, because this probably isn't LITERALLY a Hebrew myth thing?" Well, sit down for a spell, and let me tell you about Gaia Gear, the Gundam story that time forgot.
Here is a link to a folder of images we reference, some of which aren't on the Gundam Wiki. Some are, but to be honest I just saved em all because I couldn't remember which were and which weren't. Better safe than sorry.

A classic tuner, a street superstar. The Honda Civic. The car that put Honda on the map, a spark that became a raging inferno. A dope lil car. Also? Kei cars. Kei trucks! Kei vans. Dylan mispronouncing "Acura" endlessly. Boy, we got it all this week.

After redoing a lot of FFXIV content with my UI turned off, I am proud to present this episode we've had on ice until I was able to present all the reference material I wanted to. The Sorrow of Werlyt questline in Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers features a bunch of designs and fights inspired by the Weapons of Final Fantasy VII, the mobile suits of Gundam, and more mecha anime besides. Please enjoy our coverage, both vocal and with thorough screenshot references.
Here is a Google Drive folder with screenshots for all these designs, taken by yours truly. Final Fantasy community, if you wanted ..read more

Sometimes, you don't wanna be reasonable. You just want... more beams. More guns. Mittens, that are also beams. Chest vents that haha gotcha, those aren't chest vents they're beaaaaaams! The Geymalk don't give a dang, and neither should you. Friend.

So the Gundam Wiki- hey yeah complaining about the Gundam Wiki again, welcome- the Gundam Wiki says that the Virgo zodiac sign means "Virgin." Wait, I mean that part's just factually true. I placed the emphasis wrong. That's a fact. But then the wiki goes on to say that the Virgo is PROBABLY named such because "it doesn't need a human pilot in order to function." Which is virginal I guess??? No dawg it's called the Virgo cuz that was one of the zodiac signs and they used them all! There are only twelve! Don't be weird about this! The Taurus isn't a freakin bull stop being creepy!!

If I have one nice thing to say about the Seed sequel movie they keep threatening us with, it's that I wouldn't mind seeing a successor to the Destiny Gundam. Jobbed in its own show, its pilot mistreated and its purpose abused, like much of the Seed duology the Destiny Gundam is better on paper than in its own work. But you know, paper? Pretty dope.

Man, do these guys ever Virtual-OFF?! With another Monophonic request, we're now firmly in Segata Sanshiro's grasp as we head into the arena-fighting world of Virtual-On with its Ryu, its Grandpa, its Master Chief (how many people can I make annoyed with these comparisons...), it's the Temjin! This guy? Ok. Not my fav of the Virtuaroids, but it's alright.

The Planet has had it up to here with your GARBAGE. It has made weapons to destroy you. We'll call them Weapons, just to be creative. We definitely bit off more than we could chew with this one, so we'll have to revisit this in a second part- we finish the FFVII ones, but Final Fantasy just loves to reference itself, doesn't it....

Truly, the Turn X belongs in that tier of endgame rival suit that just can't be further improved. The Sazabi, the Sinanju, the... dang, there are fewer of these than I thought! Like, no way am I calling the Epyon this, or the Ribbons Gundam, or something. A cool design that I don't think you could make look cooler without fundamentally changing it, and that has every tool it could need? It's those two and the Turn X. I think that's really it.
if you say "gouf custom" i'm hanging up on you
