They aren't doing much to counter the Chinese Bootleg Stereotype, huh?

Frankly, the resemblance is so obvious I'm tempted (but insufficiently) to think it's intentionally designed to evoke some kind of commentary.

But wow, I didn't think it was possible to bestow a worse paint job on the RX-78 than the one it already had. Clearly Made in China. Laughing

The Chinese Gundam will pretty much run out of battery in 2 minutes just like most toys made in China.

Wonder if they'll be able to drag those 2 minutes into 25 episodes like DBZ managed.

Talk about a knock-off that beats all knock-offs. Man this takes me back to the days of all those transformers that looked like Xabungle. Oh well. You gotta hand it to them putting in all that effort. Bet it took 1 day to build.

Gundam Non-Proliferation Treaty Talks Stall Again

New British Columbia - The latest rounds of discussion of Gundam Non-Proliferation came to another standstill today, as the proxy for the Brazilian Empire refused to accede to "...the continued omission of beam weapons from the treaty." The neighboring enemy country of Ecuador, a notable holdout from the talks, is infamous for its extensive use of beam weapons as well as Gundam modification.

The first draft of the treaty classified Gundams as mechanized bipedal artillery until Ecuador attached the torso of a Gundam to tank treads, causing the treaty to be revised.

Roger Aznable Sr., the Grand Overseer of the treaty talks, called for an immediate recess to address the concerns of the Brazilian Empire and likely to give tempers a chance to cool.

Yeah, i love this way of thinking, all the things made in China are garbage... I think you people need to look at your home electronics(or read about some major brands) and then talk about.
