#Efreet Custom

[gundamfight]

[dragon-snoots-a-boopin]

I recently got and built the little G-Frame kit of the Efreet Custom! Definitely one of my favorite MS. I do have the HG metallic coating version of this MS, which is the third picture, but given the special coating nature of that it, I was not able to panel line it like I could and did to this one. The HG also has a lot of really annoying stickers too.

Now, sure, the G-Frame is missing some color on it and I don't plan on painting it but that is something that someone could do if they wanted to. I also like that this G-Frame stays together! My last one, the MK-II Titans Ver, was always coming apart really easily where it would separate the chest and arms from the rest and it just made me not want to touch it ever. This one stays together really nicely though. I'd recommend this one!

Title: Cuteness Member - Flippy [Fliqpy]

So, you want this green former veteran army bear 🪖🐻 joins the "Cuteness Defender Academy"? Well, you got it! 😁Yup, Flippy's back from his retirement veteran for an action, and more likely vicious "Beast Mode" 😈 with his alter ego (I meant "Fliqpy"). And what better way than his first "Cuteness Mecha Armor", the armored "Efreet Custom"! 🤖⚔️

Efreet Flippy CustomBased on: MS-08TX [EXAM] Efreet Custom - [CLICK ME!]

Armament(s):

Heat Sword • The symbolic weapon of the Efreet Custom, two heat swords can be stored on the side armor or on the backpack. These two swords demonstrating the armor's high fighting ability. By heating the sword's blade to red hot, it can easily cut through the armor, but it can also be used for cutting like a normal machete when not heated.

Twin Grenade Launcher • Equipped on both forearms. The main purpose of this weapon is to intimidate and restrict the enemy's movements, but it is also powerful enough to destroy parts of the enemy's machine as well as disable their handheld weapons.

6-tube Missile Pod • Mounted on both legs, the pods are discarded after the missiles are fired to reduce the armor's weight.

Special Equipment / Feature(s):

EXAM System • (A.K.A EXAM Newtype Simulation Control System) is a specialized combat support system.It was intended to mechanize Newtypeabilities into the mobile suit itself, allowing their use by normal Cuteness Members as a combat aide. The system made it extremely unstable and hard to control, to the point that the system - and the mobile suit - would sometimes go berserk. While under the influence of the EXAM System, the armor suit's would glow red, including the eyes.

Fliqpy's EXAM System • This is a custom system version from the original EXAM System. But unlike the original, Fliqpy's version is much far dangerous. To do his EXAM system version,Flippy showing off his shocking emotions by see/hear killing allies or innocent lives died by the opponent(s) during battles before he unleashes his altered ego among with the EXAM System activated. Fliqpy's EXAM System off the charts by increasing overly of Speed and Melee, bringing down opponents with a single attack. And though Fliqpy's pupils never changes when in EXAM System mode, only red veins appeared on his eye balls.

And now we come to my feelings on Zeon’s mobile suit designs in Mobile suit Gundam Code:Fairy. After my feelings on the Federation’s MS were…… broadly positive, my opinions on Zeon are a tad more divisive.

First up, the Zaku II Sniper type. Honestly, I get it, you want a sniper unit, but you don’t want to deal with the Zaku I sniper type being unwieldy, so you make a new Zaku variant and give it a fancy rifle. Honestly, it’s just fine. No real strong feelings here.

The Zaku high mobility ground type Alma Stirner custom annoys me perhaps more than it should, because the more I look at it the more I think that a Gouf with a rifle would have been a better choice. My main quibble is that the standard version was one of the best mass-production ms of the entire war, being agile and exceptionally suited to combat on earth, in addition to retaining the regular Zaku’s wide range of armaments. So a fancy custom version of one of the best units available as the unit you start with….. it feels a little much. If you’d started with a regular Zaku then upgraded, then sure, that’d be fine. But knowing how good that suit likely is really makes it ring hollow when the plot tries to say that Alma’s outgrown it.

Right, right, enough complaining. What do I think of the design? I do like the basic High Mobility Ground Type, and Alma’s is essentially an up-armed version of it, being equipped with a heat sword, shotgun, missiles and Vulcans in addition to the normal armaments. I do very much like the Vulcan placement, and the missiles pleasingly evoke the Zaku Desert Type, but besides that it’s really just an ace custom unit with some different shoulders. It does do a good job in-game of being the close-combat specialist to the other two’s ranged firepower, but again, I think a Gouf with a rifle would have been similarly adequate.

I’ll probably cover the Zaku Half-Cannon if I ever do anything about the Zaku Cannon, but I honestly don’t have a whole lot of opinions on it, so I’m just gonna skip.

The Dom Gnomides. HATE. I usually find it difficult to express how much I dislike this design. The base unit being a Dom Tropical Test type? Fine, no problems there. But shackling a giant box to its back? The whole in-universe point of mobile suits is that they’re supposed to be agile units that fight at close range, where visual contact is key and the have to be able to dodge enemy fire. The Dom Gnomides can dodge fire about as well as a slug can dodge salt pellets. In-game, it’s difficult to identify incoming fire because the suits so massive it gets in the way. They took a Dom, a suit known for its high speed and mobility, and turned it into something that would struggle to outrun the Zock. But surely, that massive cannon must make up for it, right? Oh, you mean that massive cannon they obtained by

Grave Robbing?

The Dom Gnomides Pilot, Mira Brinkman, obtains the main cannon from the wreck of the Hidolfr, the mobile tank from Gundam Igloo.

In-game, they justify it with “well, at least we can give commander Sonnen (the pilot) a proper burial” but Mira’s primary concern is obviously the cannon. It’s just quite creepy, because at this point, they’re all sunshine and cheers about the whole thing “oh boy, let’s get a cannon for our suit and bury our fallen comrades along the way”, so knowing that in order to build this, they had to hose the remains of Commander Sonnen out of the Hidolfr just feels…… off? At odds with the tone? I know in war you should strive to recover equipment wherever you can, It’s just a massive tonal whiplash if you’ve actually watched igloo. The Dom Gnomides is armed with other weaponry, but honestly, they’re just fine.

The Efreet Jäger is the only one of the main three mobile suits to get a HG model, most likely because they’d already made a bunch of Efreet Variants. Honestly, it’s one of those rare models I would buy purposefully to mod. Paint some camouflage on there, maybe hook a ghille cloak or something over its shoulder, swap the odd weapon or two and I think it’d look really really good. The Efreet Line is another design series I’m very fond of, simply because the basic Efreet and Gouf are both designed to do the same thing, but approach it from different angles. Both are designed to be CQC suits par excellence, so are armed with heat swords, but whereas the Gouf fights more like a Gladiator, with its sword and shield it’s primary weapons, and then the Heat Rod and Vulcans to trip up the enemy; the Efreet fights more as a raider. Armed with two heat swords, trading defence for offence, and smoke discharges to temporarily blind the enemy to its movements- a fatal mistake in a sword fight. It’s typically also armed with a shotgun, for when something’s just out of range of the swords (though in GBO2, you can swap it out for a bazooka or Machine Gun). The Efreet Jäger is a sniper, unheard of in such a melee-focused line. This is essentially my only real criticism of it, another suit that is absolutely amazing at one thing being pigeonholed into yet another generalist. There are good sniping suits available, like the Zaku I Sniper, so an upgraded unit would fit very well. But instead they took a close-quarters unit and handed it a sniper rifle. I will fully admit that maybe something different for the line would be a good idea, but when it’s entire identity is built around one speciality, shifting to a different one just feels wrong.

The basic suit design is quite nice, the chests been modelled nicely and the asymmetry really plays up that this is a suit built for sniping and guerrilla tactics - asymmetrical warfare if you will. The rifle is gorgeous, and I like how it’s got grenades as part of it’s loadout. If I were to say the Efreet jäger is my least favourite Efreet, that’s more about the strength of the Efreet line as a whole than the weakness of the jäger on its own. I will say that, in game, the Efreet jäger is the best thing since sliced bread, purely on the strength of its sniper rifle having two settings. All my quibbles melt away after using it in-game, since you can just pop out of cover, nail an enemy with either single-shot, or explosive bust ammunition, then move on, with chaff and spotter abilities if you feel like playing support, and a heat kunai and shotgun if you need to fight up close.

Finally, we come to the Titania. It shares its name with the fairly obscure PMX-004 Titania designed by Paptimus Scirocco and is based on the absolutely fantastic Kämpfer (another of my all-time favourites). I do very much love the design, a little overarmed maybe (it’s got Vulcans, so I don’t really think it *needs* the arm gatling, and I consistently forget about the Beam Machinegun when using the Titania in game. GBO2’s decision to make it an optional weapon was, I think, a wise one), but the actual design of the mobile suit itself is wonderful. It’s slightly more heavily armoured than the original Kämpfer (so we’re told, anyway) and this is reflected in its remodelling, squaring off the Kämpfer’s smooth lines with blocky armour. The shoulders are just splendid, giving it a good silhouette along with the fuel tanks (which give the impression of wings). The choice to keep the original Kämpfer’s backpack was also a good one, since it effectively breaks up what could have been a rather boring back, and the extension of this design philosophy to the leg vents is also lovely to see. The legs appear to be slightly dainty, but none the less armoured for it, a design I appreciate. The head is gorgeous, it looks like it belongs one one of the Zabi’s royal Guard and evokes the design sensibilities of the Sleeves. Does it suit a Guerilla unit? No. Do I care particularly? Also no. All in all, it’s just a wonderful design variant on the Kämpfer.

However. The rationale behind its creation in-universe bothers me in the same manner that the Dom Gnomides does.

So, upon receiving the Kämpfer frame, unarmoured (and really missing a trick to tie it into the prototype Kämpfer, but whatever), the chief mechanic looked at it and decided “this design promotes recklessness, and is built for speed and power at the expense of armour”. Yes….? It’s an assault suit, designed to get in, cause as much damage as possible, then get out. Heck, the “E” in the Kämpfer’s model number is stated to stand for “Einhauen” - one strike in German. It’s not built for protracted combat, because it was never designed to be. So looking at the Kämpfer, a very specialised unit, and deciding that that specialisation is, itself, wrong is just kinda dumb. Like, they could have been sent the wrong materials, it could have only been intended to be used for one mission and Noisy Fairy managed to keep it running beyond that, it could have been an indication of how desperate Zeon was getting. Heck, the Kämpfer itself is stated to be one of multiple units built of the prototype Kämpfer each tuned for specialist uses, maybe they could simply use a different unit in the line? All of these options would have been better than “well it promotes recklessness and that’s BAAAAAD”

My other criticism is that it’s stated that they added extra thrusters to the design to offset all the extra weight of the armour and weapons (since the Titania doesn’t cast off its weapons like the original). Really now. You’re telling me you added “extra thrusters” to a unit that was already roughly 60% thruster by volume? I know it’s petty(ier) but it still bothers me.

However, none of this detracts from the fact that the Titania is a pretty sweet design, even if I do think I could’ve been integrated better (glances meaningfully in the direction of the Prototype Kämpfer).

X2 War AU: A Successful(?) Infiltration

"I didn't think... we'd make it...!" His lungs are gonna collapse after this, he just knows it.

Between scaling the cliff at top speed to avoid the watch tower lights and then squeezing through the barricades without getting spotted, he's never been so cognizant of his breathing before (and probably ever will). Every inhale and exhale had to be planned out as he rushed through without a moment's pause. One tiny gasp at the wrong time, and that'd be it: he'd rot in a PoW camp till he was either executed or... whatever Rieze Maxia did with captured soldiers.

He'd ask Julius, but did he really want to know? Sometimes ignorance is the greater treasure as they say.

"Of course we did-- your big brother wouldn't march you to your death," How Julius can smile like it's no big deal is as amazing as it is crazy. "Were you that worried?"

"I thought I was gonna die."

His brother chuckles despite him not trying to be funny. It doesn't take Julius long to notice Ludger's discomfort and try to chase it away with a gentle squeeze of his hand, "It's alright, Ludger. We made it into the city in one piece. And as long as we don't do anything to draw attention, we'll be safe. I promise."

If Julius were someone else, he'd call those words out as pretty nonsense just meant to make him feel better. But coming from his big brother? He trusts them completely. His brother never lies when it comes to his safety.

"Thank you, Brother," He's still a bit to excited to hug his brother, but he can squeeze his hand back. Although with his mind coming down from the high, he has to wonder: how did Fayt and Victor handle things? "Um... Now that we're here, should we contact Efreet and Chronos?"

"You mean Flynn and Voss?" Ah. Right. Fake names when they're off the battlefield; he blushes and nods. "It seems clear-- give me a second."

Julius reaches into his vest for his GHS, tapping the custom button for the direct line to the GHSes paired to its team. At first, there's nothing but static. But eventually there's a bit of rustling, followed by a classic Victor "what now?".

"Levon was worried about you," Julius smirks at him while he embarrasses him. "I take it you and Flynn made it into the city?"

"Just I have. Flynn's likely KIA."

What?! Ludger's composure's out the window and replaced with panic. Fayt was... could he really be--? No, he can't think like that. Fayt has to be fine. They just got separated. It's fine. It's fine.

"What happened?!" For fine, Ludger's voice is hitting high notes most men can't.

"Keep your voice down before people ask questions," Victor pauses for a moment, then continues, "We were spotted by a watch tower before we descended. A group of soldiers to used Spirit Artes to cave the cliff in. I doubled back and used the dust cloud to descend safely, but Flynn fell with the rocks. If he's not dead already, he will be once he's taken in for interrogation."

No.... He barely got to know the guy, and now he's dead?

"Fayt..." Casualties are expected in war, he knows that. He's sure other DODA Agents aren't going to be as fortunate as them and won't make it to the city before they're killed. But even with all his rational thinking, he... his throat's gone sore as he feels something under both his eyes. Though he doesn't shed a tear before his brother's ushering him close and holding him like he would during a bad thunderstorm.

"..." To his surprise, Victor's not immediately chastising him for being a crybaby. "...But there's a chance I could be wrong," Strange, his tone's... gentle. Soothing, even. "I might be writing that hardheaded idiot off, but until we hear or see confirmation, anything's possible."

Hell must've frozen over for Victor to comfort him. But he's right-- should the military take Fayt in or recover his body, no doubt there'll be at least a local report about it. Until then, Fayt's not confirmed dead yet. There's still a chance he's alive. Someone has to hold onto that silly faith.

"Thank you, Victor... Thank you so much...!" Now he's crying. Yet it's tears of relief.

"Don't bother. And that's not my name, Levon," Yep, Victor's back to his old self. "See you both soon. Try not to make more of a scene."

The line ends there. Julius slips his GHS back into place and gives his brother one more fond pat on the shoulder. With both his brother and Victor buttering him up, he's gotta pull it together.

So, with a steady breath to stop the tears, he manages the faintest of smirks and continues forward with confidence.
