RX-78-2 GUNDAM: NOW AND THEN

I really love the classic look of the Gundam, so I wanted to understand all its differences compared to the modern interpretation of the RX-78-2. And there's no better way to learn something well than to teach others!

#gundam #mobilesuitgundam #rx-78-2

a digital illustrated poster comparing the original and modern designs for the rx-78-2 gundam. on the left there are illustrations of the modern look and another drawing sporting lots of markings and decals, as well as extruded vents on the chest. on the right, there is an illustration of the retro-style gundam, and a closeup of the head. the following text is what fills the space around the illustrations:

MARKINGS - There is no "one true design" for the Gundam, and the various designs for decals on model kits or paintings of the RX-78-2 show this well.

NOSE - While the original design of the head is variable in its design (especially around the faceplate, which could either have a flat top or a jagged top), a good amount of the illustrations show that the red section under the eyes was intended to be in the shape of a nose and upper cheeks. This is similar to other giant robots of the era, like Mazinger Z or Zambot 3.

VENTS - Some depictions of the RX-78-2 have extruded yellow frames around the chest vents instead of vents directly inset in the chest. While this is a design trait that the later RX-178 Gundam Mk-II has featured since its first appearance, the RX-78-2 wouldn't be depicted with them until its first Master Grade model kit in 1995. Now, this look is part of the variable design "canon", and appears on some iterations of the RX-78-2 like the Ver. Ka or the Gundam: The Origin design.

YELLOW V-FIN/ANTENNA - The RX-78-2 is occasionally depicted with the crest on its head in yellow instead of white, especially in early merchandise of the show. This may have been because early giant robot toys used softer, rubbery material for pointy design elements, and that material only came in a yellow color. On the RX-78-2, this yellow coloration is also used in the Gundam: The Origin manga, alongside a green camera at the top of the head and eyes that often glow pink.

Society is a construct. You can just ask someone to do a ska cover of Faith of the Heart and they'll say "$300 please" and you give it to them and then you have it.

Everyone, give

your money. They deserve it.

Bianca happily gives in while saying "oh sammy whatever shall i do!"

They are both covered in lipstick marks and Sam has hickeys on her chest

tumblr post by me that read:
magical girl whose civilian form is a "guy": yeah i'm staying in my magical girl form when i'm home by myself because i prefer it.

her spirit guide: i've been waiting for you to get this far! i'm so proud of you!

magical girl: what

spirit guide: you're transgender! i've been trying to make you realize all along! every challenge you've faced so far was to help you gain the courage to be your true self:

magical girl: ...dude.

spirit guide: what?

magical girl: what do you mean it was all to make me realize?

spirit guide: i may have been behind the shadow beasts. a little.

magical girl: people died, dude. what the hell? what the fuck is wrong with you?
