Colony Drop: A Gundam Podcast

We conclude our review of the wild ride that is Mobile Suit Gundam F91!  The VSBR is thicc, the bugs are terrifying WMDs, Zabine is a badass, Karozo is a weirdo, and Meitzer is... either senile or playing some great 3D chess.  This is only the beginning! (Narrator: It was also the end)    Cecily!! 

We arrive at a pivotal point in our UC NexT 0100 journey: Gundam F91 - the film that was supposed to launch a post-Zeon saga in 1991.  In part one of our review, we discuss F91's problems in context, the Ronah family's on-screen dysfunction and off-screen history, and how nothing Cecily does makes any sense.  CECILY! (if you know, you know)

In perhaps our wackiest episode yet, we present our ideas for holiday themed mobile suits.  This inevitably leads to the creation of a plot for our very own Gundam Holiday Special!  Happy New Year, everybody!

We count down our next five Gunpla (Gundam Model) projects!  From heroic Doms to hover trucks, from octahedrons to... watermelons?  We've got our work cut out for ourselves.  What are your next Gunpla builds, kitbashes, customs, etc.?  We want to know!

Our UC NexT 0100 journey continues!  We play through the well known and immensely popular Super Famicom game titled Mobile Suit Gundam F91: Formula Wars 0122 released only in Japan in 1991.  Join us as we witness Bergh Scred, the Federation's best pilot you've never heard of, stomp a mudhole in Mars Zeon and walk it dry!

We finish off our rundown of Gundam video games you might enjoy.  This week we cover a game that features the Devil Gundam coming to our universe to kill us all, a game that let's you play as a Zeon special forces unit with the coolest name ever, and a series that allows you to choose the outcome... even if it leads to Tem Ray's AI taking over the Earth sphere! 

We discuss which of the 200+ Mobile Suit Gundam video games out there that you might want to play.  In part one, we cover the game with the highest rating but maybe not the best spelling, the game with the best worst superweapon involving unstoppable plants, and the game that is unquestionably the GOAT of true mobile suit combat immersion - Bonds of the Battlefield!

We go back to 1992 for a second helping of Formula flavored manga with Silhouette Formula 91 in UC 0123.  Will it taste as sweet as F90...?  Despite a classic cast of unforgettable top-tier characters like Logical Layla, Master Kevin, Bureaucrat McMystery, and a guy named Baz, the character that rose to the top was none other than Elizabeth (any answer besides Subit is wrong).  Buckle up for this...

We answer your questions and discuss your comments on the UC NexT 0100 Project, the upcoming live action film, nefarious newtype overlords, and more!  

We're going on a UC NexT 0100 journey to prepare ourselves for what lies ahead. Our first stop is Gundam F90 from all the way back in 1990! Join us as we recap and discuss this gem of a prologue to Gundam F91, including the reveal that stunned us both, Zeon's shoddy engineering, and the 84 ton rock floating through space.

We conclude our discussion on capital ships of the One Year War.  In this episode, we uncover Degwin's unwritten rule of naming your Gwazine class, solve the long-standing mystery of why Zeon let Gato ignore hairstyle regulations, and decide which Pegasus class warship looks the best.  Oh, and the Papua and the Pazock are here too!

We discuss the capital ships of the One Year War!  In part one, the Musai is iconic, the Dolos is Gihren's arrogance left unchecked, and the Chivvay is too thicc for the Federation to handle.

As we finish off our review of The 08th MS Team, we wonder: Are all Gouf pilots good guys at heart?  Are there a lot of Rositas in South East Asia?  Why does the Apsalus have such a tiny head?  And the moment you've been waiting for... we talk about the Zaku Tank!

We review one of the best side stories of all time: Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08 MS Team!  In part one, we discuss Zeon pilots' inability to keep their cockpits closed, why Aina may have the worst luck of any test pilot ever, and the little known fact that Zakus have weak groins.  Also, Ryer is a jerk. 

Bandai and Sunrise have given you a blank check to design a Gundam theme park.  What would you create?  From a Federation parade with a Zeon ambush to Domon's Dojo, we share our ideas for attractions, live shows, merch, rides, and more!

We pitch our concept for a Gundam video game based on Mario Kart.  How does this game not exist yet?  You know you would play it!

Could a retcon be coming to the Universal Century timeline via the UC NexT 0100 Project?  Probably not.... BUT, if a retcon did happen, could we avoid repetitive Zeon uprising plots by bringing back... Zeon?  In Princess Mineva we trust! 

We break down the superweapons of the Universal Century. From staples like the Solar Ray and colony drops, to lesser known evils like overgrown plants and robotic bugs. What would your superweapon be? Isaac shoots for the moon while Brian pilots the Gray Goondam! 

We conclude our review of Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin.  The Zabis prove they are the worst family but the best villains, Amuro and Fraw are home alone after school, and the Zaku II steals the show.  Who will survive?

We kick off our review of Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin by tackling the hard-hitting topics like what was that medieval knight doing at the castle?  Does General Revil run like a penguin?  Why were those Guncannons so embarrassing? 

We count down our top five favorite Gundam anime series across all timelines.  At least one series from every decade made the cut, but unfortunately G-Saviour did not.  Also, Isaac tries to do the Zaku mono-eye sound.

In part two of our colony drop episode, we discuss the drops from all of Gundam's alternate timelines (non-Universal Century).  Nine billion people think the 7th Space War was no joke, Dekim Barton just can't get it done, and who knew a PLANT could be so deadly? 

It's finally time for our namesake episode! In part one, we discuss the colony drops in Gundam's Universal Century timeline.  From Operation British, the granddaddy of them all, to Operation Stardust, or as we like to call it, Operation Gihren is Handsome, we've got it covered! 

We discuss the different types of space colonies seen in the various Gundam universes.  From the O'Neill cylinder to the Stanford torus - we've got you covered!  What type of colony would you live in? Hint: Don't choose the PLANTs!

We conclude our review of Iron Blooded Orphans Season 2 by discussing the characters of Gjallarhorn and the mobile suits - what a ride!  In this episode we ask the hard questions: Do you like mobile suits that wear stilettos? Just how many Dainsleives does Rustal have? Is Master Moo the real pilot of Gundam Bael?
