A custom Gundam can easily be made from a Gundam kit

Gundams are a type of toy model that derive from the popular anime and manga “Gundam” series. Because these combat robots have such a eye-catching style, it is common for model enthusiasts to create their own custom Gundam models. Because of the way these models are built, mix and matching different Gundam parts is often avoided. The best way to customize a Gundam is to adjust and repaint the parts that are given in a particular set. With some practice, customizing Gundams can become a fun and easy pastime.

Draw up a plan for you custom Gundam

Brainstorm color patterns and extra surface details, such as bent metal, you would like to add to your Gundam model. Take note of your ideas using a pencil and paper. Quickly sketch out the basic color pattern and body design of your Gundam. Do not try to create a finished picture, concentrate on developing your custom paint scheme and additional details you wish to add. Continue to brainstorm till you develop an idea for your custom Gundam that you like.

Make sure you have all the parts

Spread out the parts trees (the plastic “sprues” to which the parts are attached in the box) and read through the instructions to make sure that all of the parts are there. If there are missing or damaged parts, it may be possible to order replacements via a telephone number on the side of the box or return it to the place of purchase.

Building a model of your favorite Gundam is a way to connect to the engaging science-fiction anime universe of the Gundam series. Most Gundam models have manipulable joints and are easily poseable. Gundam kits are typically made of the same type of light plastic as model cars and aircraft and can be assembled in a similar manner. The exception to this is the rubberized “polycaps” that are placed in joints to keep them from wearing out. With a little care, though, your Gundam kit can be turned into an accurate and attractive custom Gundam display model.

I’ve never seen Ironhide, Arcee, Ratchet, Jazz, or anyone else kill a Decepticon. I’ve also never seen a Decepticon kill an Autobot unless it’s Megatron killing Jazz or Optimus.

So what gives? How come Optimus and Bumblebee and Megatron are always the ones who kill other characters? Why doesn’t Ironhide, Sounwave (my two favorite characters, who die in DotM), Ratchet or Starscream (and others) ever get to kill anyone? I mean, there were TONS of Decepticons that Optimus killed, which I am sure those kills could have been given to Ironhide or Ratchet or someone.

What do you think? Do you think Optimus and Bumblebee gets to many kills as compared to the other Autobots? I mean I think Ironhide, being as old as Optimus AND being a weapons specialist would have killed more enemies than Bumblebee. Optimus should get lots of kills yes, but I think the other Autobots deserved a chance to shine.

If I am wrong, please name some Decepticons and Autobots and the characters they killed. Also tell me what you think please.

Also, does anyone have any complaints to the .hack anime?
