#gundam lfrith ur

[demilypyro]

I built Gundam Lfrith Ur. I actually really like this one, the angular, blocky plating and the soft blue really reminds me of the Balam mechs from Armored Core 6. Also the minigun and the giant laser cannon on the back are just really cool. This one ranks high for me.

Finally finished up Lfrith Ur!

Loved putting this kit together- especially the legs. Something about how chunky they are was super satisfying to put together.

And of course, I had to get a shot with both of the Earth Witches!

HG Gundam Lfrith Ur & Thorn

I don't typically like bulky and angular suit designs, but I have a soft spot for the Ur, especially the gatling gun and the teal color scheme (which DOES NOT match up with the lineart). As for the Thorn? Well I think this thing is pretty damn ugly, and yet I found myself growing more and more fond of this awkward looking thing as I was building it.

Score two for the Witches From Earth.

Both builds feel incredibly solid, with the only point of concern being the Thorn's ankles feeling like they would fall apart easily. My biggest gripe for both kits was that the main color pieces all seemed to have unnecessarily thick connections to the runner and thus needed lots of sanding, especially on the Phased Array Cannons.

(Speaking of the Phased Array Cannons, did you know these things are primarily weapons and not just a function for a higher Permet Score or as Gundvolva control devices? A shame we never see them used that way.)

I always felt these two were meant to combine in some sort of way to make a super Gundam. While that never came to pass, there was a piece of art in one of the latest art books of a prototype/concept Thorn that combined aspects of both Gundams + Gundvolvas that looks similar to what I had in mind. If this never gets an official kit, I may try and bash all three together someday to make it.

SOPHIE JUST WANTED A HAPPY LIFE AND A FAMILY AND TO COMMIT MURDER AAAAAAAAAHAHAAAAA WHYYYYYY

[anthurak]

So I’d like to ramble a bit on a few interesting background details I’ve been noticing in Witch From Mercury, and just why exactly Aerial seems so damn OP compared even to other Gundams.

Consider for a moment what we’ve see of non-Aerial Gundams we’ve seen in the series proper so far; the Pharact Gundam, and the Lfrith Ur and Thorn. Now let’s compare these units with the Gundams we saw in the Prologue, specifically the two Lfrith Test-type units. When you get down to it, there really isn’t much underlying difference between them, is there? Sure, the Pharact and the modern Lfrith units may have newer and flashier armor and weapons, but they’re clearly running on the same GUND-Format system seen in the Test units back in the Prologue. Right down to seeing Elan 4, Sophia and Norea use the Permet score system the same way that Nadim and Wendy used it.

I think we can look at the Lfrith Test models seen in the prologue as representing a ‘First Generation’ of Gundams. The first functional ‘proof of concept’ for the GUND-Format system. A brand new piece of technology that functions on a basic level but still has major problems to be solved before it can be considered actually feasible. With that in mind, for as cool and flashy as the Pharact and modern Lfrith units might be, they really represent little more than incremental refinements to what Vanadis and Ochs Earth created twenty years prior. Heck, it’s almost certain at this point that the Lfrith Thorn and Ur actually ARE the original Lfrith test-units, having been recovered after the purge of Vanadis and given extensive retrofits and upgrades. Yet at the end of the day, neither Peil Tech or the Benerit group as a whole has managed to actually advance Gundam technology beyond what Vanadis developed.

Now let’s look at the other Gundam seen back in the Prologue; the main Lfrith Gundam. Because it’s pretty clear this was something entirely different. It’s pretty clear looking back at the Prologue that the Lfrith Gundam was meant to be the true next step in Gundam technology. At the very least, a means of making the GUND-Format system actually safe to use, and based on Cardo Nobo’s vague musings, probably a whole lot else we don’t know about yet.

Basically, if the Lfrith Test-types can be thought of as ‘First Generation’ Gundams, than the main Lfrith Gundam is a Second Generation Gundam. Representing a fundamental growth in the development of Gundam Technology. Just what exactly made Lfrith so different we can only guess at right now, though we can pretty safely assume that Artificial Intelligence was a MAJOR factor. The only problem was that by the time of the Prologue, Vanadis still hadn’t managed to crack the problem of getting Lfrith working.

At least until Cardo had the bright idea of plugging a small child into it.

Just from what little we see of Lfrith in action during the prologue, she is clearly something very different from even Gundams fielded twenty years later. Lfrith is able to utterly decimate trained mobile suit pilots with only the vaguest and even unknowing commands from Eri and the GUND-Format clearly has absolutely NONE of the previous unit’s harmful effects on Eri, even showing a different colored aura on her face.

And unlike the Test-units, the Lfrith Gundam managed to get away from that battle. Meaning that only Elnora/Prospera and the resurgent Ochs Earth have had access to the secrets and new developments of the Lfrith Gundam.

Meaning that while the Benerit group has been dinking around with the old, janky First Generation GUND-Format system that will straight up melt its users brain if it’s pushed even a little too far, Ochs Earth has spent the last twenty years research, refining and perfecting their Second Generation Gundam technology.

Really, is it any wonder that Aerial and Suletta have been able to run circles around and basically CURBSTOMP more or less every opponent they’ve gone up against, including other Gundams?

They effectively have a full tech-generation and twenty years’ worth of development lead over every other Gundam in existence right now. And of course that’s not even touching on what else Aerial might have up her sleeve…

I disliked this design even more than the Thorn when they were introduced, but after building the kit I can better appreciate the details they put into the bulkier armor that I previously thought looked too much like the Seravee and Cherudim from 00. In particular I really like all the black openings built into the legs, which is really cool to see on a high grade without the need for stickers or paint.
