The After Apocalypse timeline is upon us with the announcement of the RG Project! In the A.A. era, humanity uses mobile suits to fight back against the Apocalypse: a self-proliferating ecosystem spawned by an interstellar object! We discuss the announcements of the Gundam Rogue Orbit video game and the MSG RG XARX-ZERO anime, both coming in 2027. Our musings cover our skepticism of these supposed "aliens," the surplus of mobile suits named zero, Isaac's refusal to embrace Zeonic Zoids, Brian's prediction that we are all Ray Azumi, the Gundam Zero's head shape, and whether John Peters is actually the producer (spiders are the fiercest killers in the animal kingdom...). Plus, we invent a Tequila Gundam drinking game and Brian demands multiplayer co-op for Rogue Orbit!

Gundam Trivia @ Anime Expo 2026

Recorded July 4, 2026; Los Angeles, CA

We bring Gundam Trivia to Anime Expo 2026 once more, but this time without a panel... No panel, no problem! Instead, we mobilize with guerrilla Gundam Trivia for our first real YouTube video! Test your Gundam knowledge alongside the contestants to see if you would have won a prize! Plus, Brian yells at a cloud and Isaac buys a $12 lemonade.

Allez cuisine! The long-awaited Gundam food episode has arrived in the form of Iron Chef x Gundam! We each send a crack team of six Gundam chefs into Kitchen Stadium to see whose mobile suit themed cuisine reigns supreme! Our chefs bring the heat with appetizers like dumpling soup and onigiri, entrees with fugu and frilly toothpicks, and with desserts featuring truffles and cannoli. Who wins? It's up to you, the listeners! Plus, Isaac goes tit for tit, we take a popsicle tangent, and discuss society reaching peak matcha.

We run down the myriad of announcements made at Gundam Conference 2026 SPRING in advance of Mobile Suit Gundam's 50th Anniversary in 2029! For starters, the short film, A boy with Gundam, touches our hearts but leaves Isaac wondering where the monoeyes have gone? Plus, we ponder whether SEED Freedom needs a sequel; should the MSG remaster really be a remake; what exactly does new "footage" mean for the Wing fans; and should we make a pilgrimage to Japan for Gundam Con 2027, the Tomino exhibit, the landmark, and the various festivals... on Gundam Day? There's also hololive x MSG... whatever hololive is? Tomino save us!

The second film in the Hathaway’s Flash movie trilogy, MSG: Hathaway: The Sorcery of Nymph Circe, hit US theaters on May 14, 2026, and we were there to bask in all its silver screen glory. We discuss the film at length, including Hathaway's dismantling of Lane (again); Alyzeus as Bandai's War Machine; whether Lane is a cyber newtype or just a drunk E.T.; Anaheim's implied policy on beam saber colors; weighing the evidence if Brinks' cat is a newtype; and predict whether Bandai / Sunrise will pull the ultimate punch, among others. Plus, Isaac dons his Bask goggles to justify Kimberley's squishing incident and discovers that he is somewhere between Degwin and Bask. Double plus, the Colony Drop crew enjoys a post-film dinner at the most thematically appropriate place: Outback Steakhouse!

Let's go for part three, Bandai!

We begin our road to Zeta by investigating how Zeon's Char Aznable of UC 0079 became the AEUG's Quattro Bajeena of UC 0087. There is no better way to do this of course than cracking open Hiroyuki Kitazume's 2001 manga, MSG: Char's Deleted Affair: Portrait Of Young Comet! On this episode, we review and discuss the first half (volumes 1-7) of this often polarizing story, including M'Quve's unquestionable demise redux, whether Maharaja Karn is really a Peacecraft from the After Colony timeline, Axis' Windows installation being out of date, the relative distance of Axis to the Earth Sphere, cameos galore, Fabian the (false) space rizzler and his frozen roses, the sliding scale of increasing Gundams, Char Aznable being without a sail for the first time in his life, and the triggering event in young Haman Karn's future that sets her down the path to become ZZ's final boss. Plus, Isaac is forced to read about Char on his birthday... and he likes it?

At long last, the Gundam live action film produced by Legendary and distributed by Netflix supposedly begins filming this month of April 2026! The live action film has been a favorite topic of ours so we examine how the film and our expectations have changed over the years. Former Writer Brian K Vaughn (Y: The Last Man, Ex Machina) and director Jordan Vogt-Roberts (Kong: Skull Island) have been replaced by new writer/director Jim Mickle (Sweet Tooth). The announced cast consists (so far) of Noah Centineo, Sydney Sweeney, Michael Mando, Shiola Kutsuna, and Gemma Chua-Tran.

Brian hopes for a successful adaptation in the vein of Super Mario and less of Avatar: The Last Airbender, while Isaac aims high with the latest Dune films. While the plot is under wraps, Brian bets on 08th MS Team or an original story, whereas Isaac holds firm it's a modified 0079 where the Gundam is replaced with AmeriMech, the USA's giant robot that fights with fists of justice. Plus, who is Sydney Sweeney playing: Lalah Sune, Fraw Bow, Aina Sahalin, or.... maybe Kuzco Al? In order to find out, we dispatch our man on the ground, Australian Isaac, to survey the filming and report back!

On March 4, 2026, Bandai lifted the curtain on Gundam Assemble - the new Gundam-themed tabletop wargame coming October 2026! We're excited to build our armies and start playing, so we dive in and discuss the game mechanics, the MS selection in the Starter/Deluxe/Expansion sets, the ship scale, potential rules for larger battles (like A Baoa Qu!), and more! Plus, Isaac forgets how to pronounce Kshatriya and we ogle the Japanese colony model!
