I know this posting was late. Sorry everyone! that I have been busy at night. Most of the time, I will spend time at home indulging myself into my hobby, that is building anime robots or widely known as Gundam. What is a Gundam? According to wikipedia, it's a metaseries of Japanese anime, featuring giant robots, or "mecha", created by Sunrise studios. Gundam became a collective term for 7 different time lines, all featuring their own story-lines, with a few common denominators and war machines called Gundam.
I've picked up the Gundam series from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED through to Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny. Current running series is the Mobile Suit Gundam 00. Gundam 00 consists of two 25 episode seasons. The series is set in a futuristic Earth and centered around Celestial Being, a private paramilitary force and their efforts to rid the world of war and conflict with a series of unique and highly effective mobile suits known as "Gundams".
Enough introduction about Gundam 00 series, let me tell you what I have been building. GN-008 or known as Seravee Gundam. Successor to the GN-005 Gundam Virtue that carries over the heavy armament concept and the Trans-Am System. Like the Virtue, it wields four cannons, though they are slimmer. Said cannons are placed in pairs at the knees and on the back of the unit, and a pair of GN-Bazookas. They can also be attached onto the two cannons at the back which can then fire a charged high-density, compressed blast known as "Buster Cannon".
The combined form of the GN-Bazookas is called "Double Bazooka", and can also switch to Burst mode to fire a more powerful shot. If it is fired together with the four cannons it is known as "Hyper Bazooka". Attaching the Double Bazooka onto the right cannon at the back will form the "Double Bazooka Cannon", while switching to Burst mode will become "Double Bazooka Buster Cannon". It is also equipped with a pair of GN-Beam sabers which are attached to the wrists of the unit. The two knee-mounted cannons and the two shoulder cannons hide a pair of hands, which can be equipped with beam sabers.
There is a torso-sized head that resembles a Gundam's on the back of the Seravee, it is a GN Particle emitter and rear view camera, which generates GN Fields when the V-fins split to expose the eyes (known as Face Burst mode), which is actually the Seraphim Gundam. The GN Field produced by it can also be used to focus a powerful cohesive blast, using the four smaller cannons, at the front. While Trans-Am is activated, the GN-Particle output is increased to thrice its normal amount.
The Seravee is also equipped with the "Seraphim System" which is actually the torso-sized head and shoulder cannons of the Seravee, which separates from the main unit and transforms, becoming the GN-009 Seraphim Gundam. The name of this unit could be derived from "Seraphim", an angel with six wings, possibly as a reference to its six arms and GN-Beam sabers. Enough said. Hope that this will thrill you ardent anime fans around. More to come as I continue to build.
