Mobile Suit Gundam: Project Nova X

[Keyblade87]

Peace through out the Galaxy the dream of the Nova project. By mass producing all Mobile Suits known to man they have put an emphasis on making one central government for tthe whole galaxy. Theres just one problem. These Mobile Suits have a slight bug and seem to only work for those carryinng the Nova gene. These people are being recruited and used to pilot the Mobile Suits and a select few actually have broken away from Project Nova and are fighting back after making a grim discovery about the leader of Nova's idebtity. Now in a race against time the small rebellion must defeat Nova against impossible odds.

Just an icheck to see if people would be interested. Most if not all mobile suits will be available.

What about actual gundams?

[Keyblade87]

All of them almost every one except for the way OP ones will be available at a sliggt hinderance due to the mass production

[Keyblade87]

Gundam Unicorn takes place in the Universal Century, which is part of the same timeline as the One Year War.

Essentially, Gundam has numerous timelines/realities/whichever your preferred term is.

The Universal Century is the 'original' setting, and began with the original Mobile Suit Gundam: 0079, and it's numerous sequels, prequels and side-quels, such as 0083, 08th MS Team, Unicorn, Char's Counterattack, F91, Victory, etc.

Then you also have the Alternate Universe stories, such as Gundam Wing, G-Gundam, Gundam X, Seed & Seed Destiny, Gundam 00, etc. These all take place in their own self-contained universes and timelines, and don't relate to each other, or to the main universe. However, they contain a lot of the same themes and ideas (space colonies, mobile suits, war is a living hell, no-one comes through war unscathed, usually a villain with a mask who is a foil for the hero) as the original Gundam series/setting.

If you're having ALL mobile suits being mass-produced, you probably need to come up with a reason why they all exist in the same timeline first, and which events have or have not taken place.

Seems like i have some work layed out....i honestly may need help because i have 0 time to watch all of that

[Gurren1]

What series have you watched?

[Keyblade87]

Most of wing a good portion of seed and some of Unicorn i have yet to finish one i can remember

[Gurren1]

Okay so you haven't really watched much of the Universal Century series. Don't worry I have watched the original series,08th ms team (my favorite),War in the pocket,MS Igloo,0083 stardust memory,Zeta Gundam,F91,I dropped Seed halfway, and Unicorn.

[Keyblade87]

My thought was having Char rip a hole in time somehow.

[Rhona W]

I might also be interested, and happy to help, as I have watched most of the UC series, and have at least a passing familiarity with the others through having read summaries, articles, etc.

The Gundam Wiki is also really useful, and has a lot of info about mobile suits and technology on it for reference purposes.

Also, Gurren1 - 08th MS Team is my favourite too!

I'd like to throw my interest in here as well.

I've watched many of the alternate universe settings ones, wing having a special place in my heart (and with all its episodes, movie, and bits and pieces from custom deathscythe hell's model lying around)

though I do know a decent amount on character relations and other mobile suits due to playing gundam dynasty warriors, and one of my favorite playstation game, gundam battle assault 2.

But based on what you mentioned in the original idea, of the nova gene, and only a few people being able to pilot the mobile suites. Why not call it the gundam gene? (as based on my experience with the au, they seem to randomly have a reason thrown out there at some point as to why the mech is called a gundam in the first place.) As these certainly doesn't seem like it is going to be sticking in with the main universe if all the different type of gundams are in it.

Another thing to think of is how they will all fit in combat. As using wing and seed for examples, wing's gundams are just made of a very special alloy, which is why they are so durable and strong, in seed, the gundams all seem to have phase shields, wing uses bullets for projectiles, seed uses energy. (sorry if I am wrong, it has been a while since I watched seed)

[Gurren1]

Sliver wind- Its hard not to make 08th ms team on top of anybody's Gundam list its so realistic and what I always imagined a war with mechs would be.

[Rhona W]

It has great animation, good characters, and a pretty good plot too (Romeo and Juliet - With Mecha!). All the action sequences are great too, and they redesigned some of the more goofy-looking designs from original Gundam into more plausible designs too.
Its setting is kind of like 'Vietnam war meets gundam', although not quite as bleak as most 'nam war movies, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

(sorry if I am wrong, it has been a while since I watched seed)

I'd also say this is something to point out too - in Gundam Wing, the 5 gundams tend to 'steamroller' most of the grunt suits and opposition they come across short of the Tallgeese and the enemies in the latter half of the show, whereas in most UC and a handful of the other series, the grunts can put up a decent fight, and there's more of a risk element involved, and the sides are more evenly balanced.
The phase-shift armour in Seed is a good example of tech needing to be balanced too, and the setting needing a unified background - there weren't any N-Jammers, the devices in the Seed universe that stopped nuclear reactors from working, in the other settings, just as Minovsky particles were only in the UC setting.
Also, if you get G-Gundam in there, then there's even more weird stuff to consider.

Hail Universal Century! Down with After Colony!

[Keyblade87]

You guys are making a good point and maybe doing just main line suits would workk better stoory wise
