I never saw that, wasn't there another Gundam series that was geared to actually building Gunpla? Yeesh, getting so hard to keep up with this!DKop wrote:See Steve, I thought the Gunpla Builders Beginning G was supposed to be a pitch to sell the idea to either Sega or Namco in making one. I think its totally possible, but I know it would have to require some sort of chip either installed in people's gunpla, or buying a gunpla that has something embedded in the plastic to register on a pad to play.
Ah, it was an OAV. That explains my knowledge gap. http://hlj.com/product/BAN965296/Gun
I was thinking Gundam Age.
Anyway, the problem lies in developing a system that can do ANYTHING with a Gunpla, any modification, any accessories. It wouldn't be good enough if all you did was swap existing limbs and such. Adding thrusters or additional armor via plastic sheet wouldn't register if there was an RFID chip embedded in the model.
There would need to be a notepad where such things could be logged in, and a vetted system judge that would assign values- propulsion, maneuverability, protection, weapons strength and damage.
Well, that and being able to actually animate the gunpla in a 3-D holographic environment. That's gonna take more work and science.
