The Southern Cross Explained [Gundam Cucuruz Doan's Island Lore]

[@rogue_newtype4364]

We need them all the GMs and southern cross Zaku lol. I did not know about code fairy being based on old material. When it comes to MSV you never know sometimes it’s like just comes out of nowhere or they’ve been non published works from many years ago.

[@kolinmartz]

I love seeing mobile suits skate around too. Gives me some code geass vibes.

[@dsleong8328]

Hover very close to the ground

What's crazy about these surface types is that it's basically the origin version of the MS-06G High Mobility Ground type but they added a D to it to make it distinctly different. Although someone could argue that it's the difference between the R-1A space high mobility types and the standard R-1.

[@kolinmartz]

Speaking of black Tristars. If they do release this as an HG, I’d love to have the option to build a unit that has 2 shoulder shields like Gaia’s Zaku High Mobility type.

Hey GE. Are you looking forward to the SD Gundam Battle Alliance game coming out on the 25th of August? I'm 29, but I have always been most fascinated in the Universal Century time-line. I personally feel like it is one of the most mysterious time-lines in the Gundam franchise despite it being the original. A lot of people, including Gundam fans in general really do not know the depth and importance of the period known as the One-Year War.

[@GundamExplained]

Yes, I love the UC timeline and can't wait for Battle Alliance!!

[@MidnightHatter]

The Vince MacMahon reaction faces were epic.

[@DIEGhostfish]

1:56 I am not entirely sure I would say thr differences are entirely non drastic. Switching the order for Odessa and Jaburo, and where the Ramba Ral and Black tristar attacks happen as a result. Is pretty major, as are the Guntank being ancient and the Guncannon being a lazily designed piece of trash contemporary of the Zaku 1.

Love the new intro...! Sweetness...!👍👍👍

[@Minner2000]

High Grade Gunpla of their Mobile Suits are coming soon to P-Bandai :)

[@l.j.nguyen2586]

I really like this movie a lot, even though I’m not a longtime fan of the franchise. I’m fairly brand new to Gundam, btw. Even so, the movie was really good. I know that Doan’s green Zaku is available in limited quantity, not standard. That’s a shame because it would be nice for other people to add it to their collection of GUNPLAs, know what I’m saying? Also, it would be so cool if the brown Southern Cross Zakus do become available as GUNPLA kits. The way they skate on the surface is so smooth. What a breeze!

[@GundamExplained]

Yes, making these kits more readily available would help with its awareness. Thanks for the comment!

[@s3d17]

One thing is for sure.. P Bandai

[@DIEGhostfish]

Ah Southern Cross, a competing Mecha series that did poorly and is known in the west for being heavily edited to become the second or third chapter of Robotech, I know chapter 1 is lightly edited Macross, but I forget if MOSPEDA or Souther cross is 2 and the other 3.

[@cjopticon2378]

I wonder what song is used at the start for this one video. Sounds more fitting than the actual than the actual Southern Cross theme, whatever it will be named.

[@MikhailKaminsky299]

Intro confirmed Gundam explained is a southern cross simp.

[@GundamExplained]

lol!!

[@bkh3218]

solid breakdown.

[@GundamExplained]

Thank you!

[@joncandib1721]

The Southern Corps sounds like their much deadlier then the Black Tristars.

[@leo11lim]

What would happen if 08th battle the Southern cross?

[@Napukin]

The suit is a dumb, made-up mess. Why would Zeon put any effort into sending high-mobility types to earth by the time they developed/needed them? They have the Gouf and, if you wanna go out on a limb, the Efreet. The units should have been regular desert types.

[@DIEGhostfish]

I think because they already had the CGI for the Origin High Mobility made for Char, and that thr Unicorn model of the Desert Type would not fit in with thr Origin models of everything else. Or maybe Yas didn't want too many MSV variants creeping into his Origin continuity?

[@DIEGhostfish]

Maybe in the Origin rather than that half Gouf half Dom these were the testing for Dom thrusters. (Yes I know Zeonic vs MIP vs Zimmad but I don't think that's actually a thin in the origin continuity. )

[@benh3518]

You're talking about an organization that even by Odessa was so desperate for anything to work, even before Odessa, that they dredged up three year old prototype MS with a habit of EXPLODING VIOLENTLY, slapped new paint on them, and called it the EMS-10 Zudah for propaganda about the great new MS that TOTALLY was going to kick the EFSF's butt. Making the Zaku IIs of an elite unit (since Doan's own Zaku has Southern Cross markings) into what are functionally customized 'Dom-lite' style units isn't that insane in comparison. It's not like it's all that different from how a wrecked Ground Gundam was upgraded in the field to become the Ez8 and has better performance numbers than a stock Ground Gundam as a result.

[@johnsouto5221]

I get so Fucking tired of seeing the federal mobile suits seen only to be used as cannon fodder. I’m so tired of seeing Zeon Plot Armor being used every single time.

Can't let all that gravity hold you down. Embrace the cyclops
