Supposedly from the Great Mechanic DX 4 2008 Spring magazine (magazine for various model builders, I think). Anyone with good enough Japanese want to translate that is on there? I gave up after reading it, as it's too "piece meal" to put it together without good Japanese knowledge (mine is really bad, just in case anyone cares :) ).
http://blog.goo.ne.jp/kouryakukan What I gather from it is (partly based from the translation provided here (http://bbs.cnmsl.net/viewthread.php?tid=13604&extra=page%3D1), along with my limited Japanese knowledge: 1) Schenberg only define the "end goal" - how CB get there, he don't care about. 2) Corner is from family of observers. 3) Observers can override Veda decisions. 4) Schenberg design various "fail-safe" systems, like the Trial system from Nadleeh. 5) Observers can come from families that have been observers, or from "powerful" figures at the time. 6) Corner find out the true goal of CB, then add in his own ambitions to it. The "normal" observers don't know the true goal of CB. 7) Thrones and GN-X are produced under the orders of Corner. Corners have connections with business and political side. GN-X uses current production parts to build. 8) GN-X is a general purpose MS (unlike the original 4 Gundams). 9) The GN Tau Drives can produce GN particles if it's hooked up to a generator. It CANNOT produce GN particles when there is no "electric charge". 10) The "real" GN Drive cannot stop producing GN particles once it start to produce them. 11) "Real" GN Drive can produce infinite energy, but cannot produce large amount at one time. Various "round" shape on the Gundam's arm is supposed to be used to stored the "extra" energy generated. The "add-on" Dynames uses in episode 5 are round shaped, and it is used to store large amount of GN particles. 12) The true goal of Schenberg and how it is proceeding currently will be a focal point later on. 13) Veda is supposed to consider human race's long term survival as the goal - it is not restricted to the lifepsan of a normal human (probably means it can accept lots of death currently provided later on, human race survive). 14) There is a reason for Sergei's scar. 15) A lot of the unanswered question in series 1 will be answered in series 2, at least the important ones. 16) GN Tau Drive will not produce GN particles anymore once the "electric charge" went out. 17) GN particles and T GN particles have different properties and color, but how they are different is still a mystery. 18) Nadleeh's trail system is to prevent a Gundam going berserk. >From this, we can tell the previous "GN Drive" history has some incorrect >information (or at least not revealed). Since there is a good source for this >(I consider, I guess we can consider this official information. -------------------------------------------------- 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
