Gundam Exia

Gundam Exia is the main mobile suit for the next Gundam00 series. Maybe it will look better in the actual anime.

I was surprised to hear that many of the mobile suits from the Seed series were designed by freelance designers - one of them was a friend of a colleague at Microsoft but I never got to speak to him about it. You'd think that there would be logic in the history and designs of mobile suits - just like how you see designs of the starships in Star Wars evolve.

I was quite disappointed to hear that Sunrise/Bandai just outsourced some of the designs. Its like they are churning out stuff so that they can merchandise the Gunpla.
