FA Mechanic - May Listing Arrangement & Cleaning

Pff...man, the COVID-19 definitely going to last another year from the look of it. Toys and shipping fees increase a lot lately so I have to thank dalong.net for uploading the latest scan manual, allowing everyone to download freely especially for my basic translation work (using Google 😎etc) for the FA mechanic page. I am currently focusing some of my time on the XFA-CnB Bergflinker translation to connect some bit of story here and there.

Yeah, it's the code that caught my attention while working on a pricing spreadsheet. I was like, hey, wasn't the code that actually belongs to the Moon Camp faction? Well, it turns out that XFA-CnB Bergflinker is just signature code use in the war against Guff fraction. Another interesting bit was Bergflinker is a custom unit installed using JX-25 parts, allowing it to transform into a simple flight form. The Frame Arms inside itself is an O. Cutlass and the OEM specification are no any different than Ji-Dao/Lei Dao. It just the head and body design appearance different. Kotobukiya did left out the code for O. Cutlass. Lastly, Original Cutlass was supposed to be the one to enter the mass production FA based on YSX-24 Baselard, instead, SX-25 Cutlass was selected. I am trying to understand the story of these 'upper management' arguments and the decision.

For fun, I also decided to load up Shingen manual in the translator and was surprise to find out how the heck did it end up in Cloud Century universe. The FA war is suddenly over too and then a battle complex pops up. The story itself really sound like a hint that Kotobukiya planning to end Frame Arms series in the future very soon.

Goodbye Dengeki Hobby Magazine!

It was at first reported by the Hong Kong poster, rumor of the Dengeki Hobby magazine going to stop publication last month at AE Media if I remember correctly. I couldn't verify until the latest released printed magazine posted the official news.

All future contents will reports at their official website, Dengeki Hobby Web.

Frame Arms Database Open

 Dear all readers and visitors! The Frame Arms database page is now open! This is just the first step rolling out the details of the Frame Arms model numbers and names including provide separate clearer different faction and weapon classes. Since I am not Japanese translator expert, so I have to relies heavily on the Google Translator and translate some meaning in the books to understand better.

The FA model numbers are 90% verify from the official modeling and volume guidance books itself. The remaining 10% are listed in red color means either not enough details or unconfirmed variations listed in Crowd Century timelines. Only the names are a bit tricky for Gourai and Zenrai series because the official Frame Arms modeling book name them as Werewolf and Werewolf Avenger instead. I do not know if that was a mistake or suppose given name for English version.

I will constantly update the list, review and will be using this page for future building proper Frame Arms Wiki if possible. I also welcome all providing feedbacks and correction to my bad translation works.

Signing out!

Happy New Year!!! The New Begin for Year 2014!!!

Hello readers and modelers! Happy New Year and the new year 2014! I hope everyone are doing well. Brunei is having constant raining almost every night and some area are experience flooding affecting many homes few days ago. so not really a good year to celebrate. My place currently are safe so internet is fine too. =P

Anyway, while we all know that Bandai latest Build Gundam series products are damn impressive. Frame Arms and Extend Arms are not falling behind in terms of design and quality. I know Kotobukiya re-releasing renewal series for some products only like improving coloring on its parts and hands parts. The continuing releasing new Extend Arms certainly gives a whole new look for existing Frame Arms and more room in customizing.

I believe this year will  be exciting than before. for my part, I will try to cover more news incuding non Frame Arms news and search out more Frame Arms modelers. If you are one of them, feel free to drop me message. I will post up your works here.
