As Dylan argues on this ep, life on Earth is owed to the sun. So why has it taken us so long to make decent cars that use the sun? Sure, this is terrible logic that doesn't follow at all. But also I feel like I should own a solar car by now. Well, let's look at some really impractical ones- solar RACE cars. They're pretty cool, even if they look like cuts of salmon.

X Dive is an- ahem, sorry. X DiVE is an interesting image of what Mega Man design might look like if the series had been continued to the current day. We spend a lot of both of these episodes talking about how the designs from the X series of games are so bad, but they cover a pretty specific period of time, and reflect the aesthetics of that era. Kind of. Frankly there was good design back then too, and I'm just making excuses.

We're always comparing transforming robots and their flight forms to schmup ships. Well, maybe it's time to turn the tables. As per a listener request, let's talk about a schmup ship, and... ok well, I guess we don't really compare it to robots much. Except the one that is a robot! Or two. Two that are robots. One of them's a Super Fighting Robot! Oh wait then there's technic-

A Hizack for a new generation, a Zaku with Federation design elements! I mean, not really. It's a Sazabi with some Geara Doga, a surprising but small dash of Sinanju, maybe some Powered GM in there, a lil Kampfer. But still! Like a lot of Titans suits, it's Zeon Minus Zeon. And that is a triumph. Not because I dislike Zeon, just, I like some Federation design elements being added, i like what it does to the design, hey dont bully me

I dunno what to do with this boy. I mean, he's fun. Weird dude. Cop? Don't like cops. Grabby arms. Probably will never get a gunpla because it's a strange design that isn't important from a show that isn't that popular (which is WILD given how flippin' good it is, but I think the aesthetic does put a lot of Gundam fans off). I don't like the colors very much. I dunno. Strange guy. He's cool tho.

Well, this is new. Contextless model kits for us to discuss? And hey, I'm always saying I want more feminine mecha- it doesn't get much more feminine than these slender, incredibly flexible robots with some... design choices. These models are very cool.

Finally, we have the trio: Blitz! Duel! Buster! Remember the first time you heard that? "I don't know if this show is great, but the idea of the Gundam being pursued by other gundams is kinda fun," you likely thought. Little did you know. And of the three, I must confess I think the Blitz is still the weakest design. But that doesn't mean there's nothing to appreciate, once you dig into it.

The Earth Alliance grunts of Seed, Stargazer, and Seed Destiny are here, and though there are definitely some losers in here, there are a surprising number of winners, too.

I'm certainly used to women being mistreated and misused in Gundam, but Ennil stings because it feels like there was no reason this had to happen! I'm not saying the show is great about gender or anything, but it isn't a Tomino show and you can tell! She could have had it all! Well. Not Toniya.

The Shiden sits in a weird place among IBO grunts, feeling torn between the rest of the world's design, and other 00s and beyond Gundam art. But it's still cool.

You know what I want to see? In some SD Gundam thing, someone should summon and wish on the Doggorla like it's Shenron. I think that would be a really good goof. Not like a Gouf, like a bit. ...No, not like a Bit, like a... you know what, forget it. Let's talk about a dragon, then about the works of Junya Ishigaki, then just some other stuff. Mechanista and chill, or something.

The Axis Drop. The climax of Char's Counterattack, as a massive asteroid, plucked from the asteroid belt and repurposed into a huge colony, is intentionally hurled towards the Earth. Could we redirect such a thing? Well, there are a lot of problems with such a scenario. For one, it's really better to try way, WAY sooner than they did in that movie. Also Axis had maneuvering thrusters to counteract any counter-counterattack.

BUT. Let's ignore those objections for a moment. If it's just an asteroid headed for the Earth? Noooo problem. We can throw that off course. Why do I know this? Because we DID. It wasn't exactly headed towards us, but the DART program from John Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory demonstrated a month ago today that we can redirect asteroids with a simple probe impact. That's just one APL project, a group with history dating back to the end of World War II. And who better to guide us through their history than current APL employee Space Instrumentation Electrical Engineer Nick Seese.

Yes, THAT Nick Seese. The duality of man, folks.

Okay, so they made an F91 SNES game with an original story. Great, I'm happy for them. And you know? These sprites look pretty cool. But how many designs can it- ohhhhhkay. Well, it IS very video game to do "new Zaku" and "new Dom," at least. Let's see how these "refined" designs turned out.

Drop the A, folks: it's time for 'Mechs not mecha. To be honest, I am real hot and cold on BattleTech: on the one hand, it doesn't do MOST of the things I love about mecha, but on the other, it DOES do things I like about both tanks and ground level sci-fi. Despite this, we're here to talk about the Atlas- a machine that, in my opinion, tries too hard to be a normal mecha, ignoring the strengths of BattleTech design. The skull is fun, though.

The biggest bully mobile suit of them all. I mean, ok. If you ask me which one it is, mobile armor or mobile suit, it's like... if you have to pick one it's a mobile armor. I make this argument on the ep, but it is stored in and deploys in mobile armor mode. So that's its primary designation. But it is both of those things. You're not wrong to call it a mobile suit, it's that too. It's just more mobile armor than suit. Kind of. Words are hard.

This is kind of like the Battle Armor from MechAssault 2, if you think about it. Y'know, the way it jacks other mecha's parts? It's a bit of a stretch maybe, perhaps it's more like Kamen Rider forms.

It feels at least to me like when Zeon/Federation fusion designs are drawn, Zeon aesthetic tends to win out. The Hizack, the Marasai, the Xeku here... though I suppose the Zanny feels more Federation. Maybe this is just a Titans problem! Though also, I wouldn't want you to think that I'm complaining. The Marasai is kinda mid, but otherwise? Hell yeah.

This 00 grunt needs more love! Wow I could be talking about ANY 00 grunt when I say that. It's a show with a lot of really dope designs, and most of them aren't Gundams! Not an uncommon story I suppose. The GN-X isn't bad luck, it's the friend you didn't know you had. It is true however that they nailed it in one, and each (major) iteration thereafter is a step down in style.

Spread your wings and fly, god be with you in your quest. I forgot to shout them out because I'm bad- this episode is a request from SoundJake! If you think about it, aircraft are the mecha of the skies. I mean, if you're using the Japanese definition of mecha, that's literally true, since they use it to encompass all military vehicles basically. So perhaps it's not surprising to see Gundam concepts like the panoramic monitor appear in Ace Combat, but it IS pretty dope.

The best thing you can have when designing a mecha is an idea. It doesn't even need to be a good idea! A Gundam with a suit of armor over it that turns it into a Z'Gok? I am going to be blunt. That's a bad idea! But if they try hard enough, a skilled designer can turn a bad idea into some really dope shit. And somehow, the Aesculapius whips.

Thunderbolt's designs are divisive, and the Atlas is no exception. Heck, I went into this episode ready to express my dislike. But a lot of my dislike stems from seeing the design in lower detail, and out of context. In its element, in all its glory? It's really quite something. Even the skis.

Juri Wu Nien is the most like an actual astray. God, even when Seed has a cool idea they eff it up, you know? The Astray SHOULD BE COOL! On paper, it's neat! It's a friend! But you can't look at it without staring through layer after layer of misuse and incompetent writing! A part of me wants a remake of Seed to see if they can do better. But that's a small part, because why bother? It's not like the idea is good enough to salvage. Just make new things.

Then again it's not like we're gonna cure Japan of its Seed love, so maybe we could just make them support a show that isn't complete torture to watch. I'm torn on the matter.

There's an instinct from folks to compare the Z'Gok to a crab, but I don't really think it fits. Its body to claw ratio is all wrong. It doesn't have that fun "put em up" posture. Maybe it's a lobster? Hmm. Unsure. I DO know it's a friend, though.
