So hows it looking now? Diablo-D3 09:41, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I hate the new changes. The words are way to spread out in the system/armament listings. The pictures look odd and out of place for a lot, the most obvious being the Gundam Development Project mobile suits. In my opinion it looked better before your formatting changes. The only change I'd make is put the system/armament listings back to the way they were before your refit. User-Name 16:01, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)

So, basically, move all the images right again? I'm going to be trying to fix the weirdness with the tables too, but I'm leaving them. Diablo-D3 05:21, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Actucally I really just hate the tables. It looks very disorganized. I perferred using the <br> tags. For example, look at the GP01 data. It's way too spaced out IMO. Looks very bad. User-Name 00:37, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Hrm, bleh, I'll rollback the tables then, but I'll also have to move all images right. Diablo-D3 19:43, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Removal of Blue Destiny Units

Personally, I think we should get rid of the Blue Destiny Gundams because their uncanon, video game spawn Gundams. We should have only canon RX-78 Gundams, which means removing them. Now if someone wants to set up a Blue Destiny page, be my guest. More Gundam, the better. But it should also be in the right places.

I don't agree with that. Being game original unit doesn't mean they aren't uncanon MS. If we got to remove them, it would be more make sense to creat new article for whole RX-79 model. L-Zwei 07:12, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Wait a second, video game spawn gundams? The Blue Destinies came from a manga, if I remember properly.


Yes, the BD series also have a Manga featuring them. And guess what, the manga is called Blue Destiny. But it is spawned as video game before the story is written into manga.

[edit] RX-78-7

I have added RX-78-7 and RX-78-8 which appeared in MSV and M-MSV. I know that RX-78-8 never have a picture but RX-78-7, FA-78-3 and FHA-78-3 should have.

However, I cannot find decent quality pictures for these units. If anyone have them, please upload and modify the post.

MAHQ.net got some picture, but it is not very clear.

[edit] RX-78 Gundam Casval Rem Deikun Custom

In the Video game Gihren's Greed, there is an RX-78 C.A. built after Char Aznable took over control from the Zabi's. The unit got the design of RX-78-2 but the inside is totally Zeon technology.

There is also a Titans version of RX-78 in the same game.

not to say that these should be added in here, but just a sidenote on other RX-78s

Also, the RX-78GT4 series should be added in here, too. If anyone got detailed description and pictures of it, it would be nice.

[edit] RX-78-8?

From what basis is there an 8th Gundam? I looked through MAHQ.net's MSV and M-MSV sections and found nothing on it.

Try reading the original MSV, there are no picture of it but it is said to have been planned after the 7th Gundam. However, even 7th is incomplete and therefore no further development is continued. So it is the legendary 8th Gundam that never, and never will appear in any of the series.

In MSV,(not M-MSV)
放映当時はガンダムは映像に現れた1機しか存在しないという設定であったが、後に小説版『機動戦士ガンダム』においてアムロの搭乗したガンダムは2号機という設定が生まれ、みのり書房発行の雑誌「OUT」別冊『宇宙駆ける戦士たち GUNDAM CENTURY』にてさらにその設定は発展した。そして『モビルスーツバリエーション』 (MSV) の誕生によりアニメ準備稿からプロトタイプガンダム（1号機）が、小説版からG-3ガンダム（3号機）が生まれ、さらに全部で8機が製造されたという設定になった。RX-78という型式番号の後の数字には機体の仕様（バージョン）の意味が持たされたが、後に機体の製造番号の意味に変更され、RX-78-2ならば、RX-78シリーズの2番目に製造された機体という意味となった。G-3ガンダム以降の機体はMSVではRX-78初期試作型（一説にRX-78-2）の4-8号機という文字のみの設定であったが、バンダイ出版発行の雑誌「SDクラブ」で連載された『大河原邦男コレクション』 (M-MSV) にて4-7号機が再設定され、独自の型式番号が与えられている。
We can see that there is a documented official saying about having RX-78-8. However, no further settings are given.
