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.
