Gundamania

I do have plans to work on some art, but I'm in a bit of a Gundam high right now. I blame most of it on an insane addiction to Dynasty Warriors Gundam 2 (I'm trying to get Char to like that loser Shinn so I can unlock Lunamaria), collecting Japanese SD gashapon figures of them, working on models (trying to decide which to get next), and watching 08th MS Team on DVD.

I do have ideas in the works. For the comic I have a few more strips to do for the Bamboo and Pocus arc (Contest is still open...winner gets a year's dA Subscription!...if I get a winner...), plus I've had some ideas for some really cute Pinklet stories. Next task, though, is going to be a remix piece of Gaara from Naruto. I've come up with some ideas to make him kind of scary, and mind you these are ninja without the super-powers, which makes it interesting.

Mobile Suit Gundam was principally developed by renowned animator Yoshiyuki Tomino, along with a changing group of Sunrise creators who went under the collective pseudonym of "Hajime Yatate".

During its conceptual phase the series was titled Freedom Fighter Gunboy, or simply Gunboy, because the title included a robot armed with a gun, and the primarily target demographic were shōnen (boys). In the early production stages there were numerous references to the word "freedom": the White Base was originally "Freedom's Fortress", the Core Fighter was the "Freedom Wing", and the Gunperry was the "Freedom Cruiser". The Yatate team combined the English word "gun" with the last syllable of the word "freedom", "dom", to form the name Gundom. Tomino then changed it to the current title, suggesting that Gundam signified a powerful unit wielding a gun powerful enough to hold back enemies, like a hydroelectric dam holding back floods.

Most Gundams are large, bipedal vehicles controlled from cockpits by a human pilot. The majority of these "mobile suits" - the description of these vehicles, including the Gundam, in the various series - have a cockpit in the "torso" of the machine, with a camera built into the "head" to transmit images to the cockpit. Rarely, cockpits are mounted elsewhere on the chassis, as in Psyco Gundam, where the cockpit is located in the unit's head.

While most Gundams are non-sentient there are some exceptions; in the side-story Gundam Sentinel, an artificial intelligence called A.L.I.C.E. develops its own emotions, wanting to become human at the very end of the story. In The Blue Destiny, another side-story, four mobile suits (one of them not a Gundam), built with the EXAM System, share a Newtype human soul which allows them to act independently These are the only canonical and specified plot-related Gundams that contains self-sentience.
