Happy Halloween by Chris 5:50 P.M. EST
It's Halloween, but here at MAHQ we're giving out reviews and lineart instead of candy. For lineart, Dave Skinner sent in new color corrected lineart for SEED, SEED-MSV, Sentinel, Sentinel-MSV, Gaia Gear and original lineart for Hathaway's Flash. Today is also the second update to the new Models section, so check out the following:

From me:
MSiA FA-93HWS Nu Gundam Heavy Weapons System Type
MSiA RX-93 Nu Gundam

From Elliott "Hiddenpower" Solomon:
1/100 RGM-111 Hardygun
SD MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam
SD RX-77-2 Guncannon

From The Crimson Fury:
MG 1/100 RGM-79C GM Kai

Since it's Halloween, I'll of course be dressing up for the Anything Goes Anime Halloween party. What will I be? Gundam Fighter- Domon Kasshu.

Various Updates by Chris 10:30 P.M. EST
There's a few items in today's update. First, many of you may remember the chat held last month with SD Gundam Force voice actor Deborah Sale Butler. In response to that chat and questions from fans, she's written an article titled "Voice Acting From the Inside." There's also some new lineart today; specifically two pieces from SEED-MSV. The first is the Cosmograsper, which was scanned by Hi Nu Gundam and cleaned up by Dave Skinner. Dave also sent in lineart for the GuAIZ Experimental Firearms Type.

Well well, long time no update eh? by Joel 3:45 P.M. EST
Sorry about the long wait folks, as things have been hectic in college. Episodes 13-17 of Tekkaman Blade have been reviewed for your reading pleasure. Expect another update soon hopefully, as I want to try to get my groove back, hehe. Laterz folks.

Fanfic Cleanup by Chris 3:38 P.M. EST
I've made some changes to the long dormant Fanfic section. First, I've removed Mirai Rouge's two series at his request. Second, I've removed all the incomplete series that have gone unfinished for years. You can expect an update soon for Neoguy23's The Next Battle.

Plamo Explosion by Chris 8:40 P.M. EST
Awhile back we announced our intentions to open up a section for Model reviews, and since then that space has been empty. Well, it is empty no more. As of now the section is officially open with 4 Master Grade reviews submitted by Hiddenpower. They are:

MS-06 Zaku II
MS-09R Rick Dom
MS-18E Kampfer
RX-178+FXA-05D Super Gundam

Now, some words on the model section. Contributors such as Hiddenpower and Richie Ramos previously reviewed kits for Newtype Asylum, and these reviews carry on that style. As was the case with the Asylum, we will have an open submission policy for model kits and MSiA. If you wish to submit a review, the guidelines are as follows:

1. All reviews must include the required technical information (# of parts, release date, price, gimmicks, scale, plastic colors).
2. All reviews must be broken into the following categories: introduction, head, torso, arms, legs, weapons/accessories, conclusion and a rating on the 5 star scale.
3. Please spell check all reviews and use proper grammar. Additionally, all reviews should use American English (ie 'color' not 'colour').
4. Pictures are not necessary, but they are appreciated. If you're going to take pictures, at least take 1 large one of the suit facing forward. You may also submit additional pictures focusing on the body parts and weapons.

If you feel you have reviews that meet these requirements, please send them my way.

Minor Things by Chris 11:50 A.M. EST
I've got a few minor items in today's update. First, I'll direct your attention to the new permanent link above labeled Gunota Headlines Blog. What is it exactly? Well, it's your new source for accurate information on Gundam news and rumors courtesy of RGZ-91 and Neo-Era. Next, there's some new lineart as always. Dave Skinner sent in new Red Frame lineart for the Astray section, along with more new lineart for various Zeonic types from Advance of Zeta and several pieces from Hathaway's Flash. Finally, the Metal Armor Dragonar section has been updated with new pilot listings for the star mecha and a few items moved around on the index page.

Back in Business by Chris 4:20 P.M. EST
As many of you may have noticed, the website was down for most of the weekend. As a result, I did not receive any e-mail during this period. If you sent me an e-mail between Friday and this morning, please send it again. Also, will the person who sent me the Hazel II lineart please resend it because I accidentally deleted it. Aside from these minor updates there is some new stuff. Dave Skinner sent in new color lineart for the Kimera and Home from Astray, along with color corrected pictures of the Strike Dagger and Strike Rouge from SEED.

Mecha Designers Galore by Chris 9:51 P.M. EST
I mentioned yesterday that RGZ-91 had begun collecting a list of mecha designers. Well, that list has been completed. He's methodically researched various books and provided mecha designer credits for many mobile suits and ships. Also, designs attributed to certain men have now been changed to credit the proper designer. New credit information can be found in the following sections:

Mobile Suit Gundam
08th MS Team
Gundam 0080
Gundam 0083
Zeta Gundam
Gundam ZZ
Char's Counterattack
Gundam F91
Victory Gundam
Gundam Wing
CCA-MSV
Gundam Sentinel
Double Fake
Gundam F90
G-UNIT
Cross Dimension 0079
Blue Destiny
G Generation
G Generation Zero

If the listing for G Generation seems new, it's because it was split off from G Generation Zero thanks to info from RGZ-91. There's also 3 new blank profiles for Advance of Zeta. Finally, there was some new Astray lineart in the last update that I not only forgot to mention, but I also forgot to credit it to Chris Perez. Sorry!

Minor Bits by Chris 10:15 P.M. EST
Today's update is mainly made up of announcements. First, Mark Simmons sent in some revisions to the Raider Gundam's profile in regards to placement of weapons. Second, some may have noticed no SD Gundam Force reviews recently. Well, aside from being busy with other things, I forgot to tape some episodes (oops), so I'll have to wait until they re-air before reviewing them. Third, my e-mail is working again so please send in comments as usual. It was actually working yesterday, but I forgot to announce that too. ^_^
