This is a little off topic, but that thing looks so badass while it's lit up at night. (Although it's badass during the day too.)

Why in the hell would you take it apart after putting so much effort into putting it up?

Oh come on! The thing is like a Japanese Eiffel Tower. Why would they destroy it?

To answer everyone's question: they are taking it apart so they can transport it inconspicuously. They can't let other people see them install the actual weapons and ruining their plan for world domination.

Makes sense. I'll serve them for a spell, but I will have that Gundam, mark my words.

It would be super ironic if we had a Gundam story play out, but have Japan's role reversed. I with you if there is the possibility for super irony.

Typhoon. Sure. Clearly the program developed to give it sentience just needs a few more days to boot up. And then...
Your thinking of Mobile Dolls, the RX-78-2 Gundam is a piloted machine. The red section as actually an escape vessel containing the cockpit, the 'Core Fighter' The top half of Gundam is ejected and the Core Fighter thrusts out and it returns to plane mode.

The reason for this was because the original Gundam was Modular, the Corefighter could be used by Guncannon and Guntank as well, even though Amuro rarely used either the true use was recording the pilots data for future GM use (GM is the grunt suit of the federation)

...

Um...

In other news, one of the other attacks Japan has made is a 'Good Gundam Game for the PS3' And I actually mean good, it's like they fixed everything that was broken in crossfire.
This pleases me. I'm going to hassle my housemate to buy it.

When you're with me, there isn't a possibility of any other kind of irony.

I could misspell it and we could have supper irony.

So is there a legitimate reason for taking the thing down?

Statue of Liberty be damned...Japan has a GUNDAM!

It doesn't look structurally fit to stand through Japan's annual weather. Better to put it down before it gets thrown across Japan and takes an eye out.

Just hope it comes out in english, Paranoia dictates that Bandai won't actually give us a Gundam Game if it's good, but check it out here.

Crossfire Wishes it had this Frame rate

Keep in mind the guy playing kinda sucks.
Pfft, we don't let silly things like language get in our way. I've got like six Japanese games on my Wii, he's got I think 3. Unless it's heavily story driven?

Bandai only put it up to celebrate the 30th anniversary, the Japanese Gundam probably has a problem with it (Not as much problem as Australia is going to have at the 4oth anniversary where they will want to reinact the colony drop on Sydney)

Want something to unnerve you? Tomino was reported complaining because he wanted a fully functional gundam and not just a statue.
You meant government, right?

Nah, I meant when you wrote "the Japanese Gundam probably has a problem with it", sounded like you meant to write government but had Gundam on the mind.

Anyways one of my friends actually saw some of those arcade machines when we were in Japan last month. We also visited the Gundam statue which was pretty impressive - although the crowd up close was massive and the park it's situated in is in serious need of some shade.

Left me pondering the question - what would win in a battle between Japan's one life size Gundam and the UK's many life size Daleks?

Typhoon is the operation name for the debut sortie for their RX-78-2 'statue'.

No I'm being serious here, They actually have these Simulators across Japan, they finally figured how to get a gundam to stand, all thats left is the Balance issue.
They need to take a lesson from the Armored Core series. Four legged mecha for the win.

Still waiting for my fully operational Anubis Orbital Frame though. Hurry up Japan, my angsty teen years are fading fast and I can't be an ace pilot if I'm not angsty enough.
