O_o ??? But does that have anything to do with the HGUC (& MG) Dom vs. Rick Dom? 0080 redesigned the Rick Dom, 0083 invented the Troopen type, but the HGUC and MG have not used them as reference (or inspiration) for external differences Dom vs. Rick Dom. In particular, 0080's lineart made a point of using an up-skirt view to show Rick Dom II's _five_ rocket boosters. Cf. the MG models made a point of making Dom and Rick Dom share _three_ identical (thumbing its nose on Gundam Century's description) rockets under the skirt. Isn't it comparable to Vanilla Gundam vs. Magnetic Coating Gundam? The latter had a new technobabble and upped performance. There was even footage devoted to the upgrade in both TV series and movies. But up until now, the unspoken consensus is that there's absolutely no difference in external appearance, the color scheme had not changed a tint, and not even one single panel line was altered. That is... until the next round of data Evolution, when we will find Magnetic Coating Gundam is a visible variation? Unless... oh my gosh... it's always been there! The yellow V-fin is Vanilla Gundam, and the white V-fin is Magnetic Coating Gundam, tell me I'm right ;-) -- Dr. Core -------------------------------------------------- The Gundam Mailing List MK-II [email protected] Archives: http://www.gundam.com/gml Help: Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with this in the BODY: help list
