It's not been that long since we watched Turn-A, but I can hardly remember such details. I kind of remember the beam rifle was fired once (and only perhaps one more time) and there were a few generic beam sabre fights and a few times the hammer was used. Again all very generic flashbacks. I have clearer memories of most of the other MS appearing in the show, especially Eagail's drill-mace thingy. Also I can remember Kapool, Flat, Sumo, Wad, Bandit, Illefuto, Wadom and of course Turn-X's combat scenes. But Turn-A... every time it seem to show up primarily to stop the fight, right? In particular, I don't think I remember a single scene showing Turn-A's nuclear weapon. I honestly even think that I didn't hear about it at all in the dialog. Everything about Turn-A's nuke might have come from English online source (primarily GML). But of course I could very well be wrong... Obviously I was watching a rather haphazardly produced fansub. Another source to review might be the model manuals... I do remember very clearly that the very muddy explanation of "forbidden" technology at the end of the show. Turn-A itself was a bit like the "Genesis" device in one of the Star Trek movie wasn't it? Is it a planet-destorying doomsday weapon? Or a clean-up device for the "forbidden" nuclear weapon? Either way it's very inconsistent with the nuke-in-chest story. And what's this cow-in-chest story? Of all the things to bundle in the MG kit, why a cow? I was hoping someone else would ask the dumb question, but no one is dumber than me, it seems. -- 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
