Thanks for that link. But since it's a Robotech artbook, does that mean it will just be existing artworks with most we're already seen from the original creators? Or screenshots from each episodes and its synopsis? Plus probably artworks from Tommy Yune? Just asking coz I don't own any Robotech books from before. And I just thought that there will be a new artbook from Tatsunoko.

 

Hmmm, never notice that, just found it on an old post not too long ago (week or days agao).

But the way it was written seems to be more focused on Mospeada.

What upcoming artbook?

Curious but any updates on Genesis Breaker?
What about the upcoming artbook?

Well technically, there are no mutants in the MCU. . . yet.

The closest we got was the Inhumans.  But that series was DOA.  And the Mouse is pretty much pretending like anything that happened in SHIELD and the Netflix shows never happened.

Also maybe attempt to do it in comic hasn't gone well.

Gassing people, keeping slaves, and caste system that would make Tau blush.

Are you sure they're supposed to be good guys.

Even Games Workshop did better on Tau.

I'm pretty sure Wanda is doing it herself, her (movie) powers came from the mind stone, and I'm pretty sure it's consistent with the comics to have her able to manipulate the minds of those around her to alter reality to suit her desires.

Except she hasn’t wiped out mutants and got away with it yet.

Neat robots actually. Ironically, any updates on Genesis Breaker?
Will it be an anime or a model kit storyline like Lego or 40k.

I know the red Legioss usually has Jupiter Base markings (not sure about Houquet’s Ride Armor).

But no clue about your questions.

Maybe Mospeada and The Expanse are the same universe, and Jupiter Base sides more with the Belters, and the Martians just wanna go to war with anyone!   Would explain why Jupiter Base didn’t get more involved after awhile.

To be serious though, perhaps that’s why that Genesis Breakers story has a female armor too (to add more females into the mix . . . and to milk that female mold Sentinel did up for Houquet).

The question being about the appearance of JB armor on Houqet and if their equipment color was red or Houqet had it painted over its original color.

Oh, I see. Thought they were different model with its story (like the old toys with storyline), but glad that they are making a side story (plus a chance to see female in Marsbase Jumpsuit, or maybe life on Marsbase).

Hey Vasquez, have you ever been mistaken for a man?

Vasquez:
No, have you?

In Mospeada case, Mars base jumpsuit seems to be skin-tight, so more curves shown to not be mistaken. (This is the fan art, but kinda wonder how she would look if she was given a uniform jumpsuit albeit with Jupiter Base symbol).

Thanks for the kind words, guys... and yeah, we shouldn't have to paint the pilots, should we? 

Shinobu Takeuchi flew with the 36th Squadron out of Mars Base.

Well, she was a reporter and her suit doesn't seem to be uniform (though like the black patterns on her red suit though). But yeah, thanks for unit numbers.
(To be honest, not sure when and how did Jupiter Base participated or just a random symbol to differentiate Houqet from other characters.

Consider that she had that before the first episode meant that she looted off from wreckages or robbed off from soldiers)

Remember, in the early 80s, women didn't serve front line military positions in most militaries around the world... so shows were being progressive by putting women in non-combatant positions alongside men in many cases. 

Yeah, I got the point. Maybe we got used to attractive female pilots archetypes, and my imaginations of how female would look in Marsbase jump suits (skirt is cute and all, but jumpsuit is also nice with showing their trim and athletic figure and all).

The closest thing to Mospeada's female in skintight pilot suits is Shadow Chronicles, but this was Robotech canon and different design.

Also maybe being more knowledgable of Gundam--like having female pilots (Emma, Pharaoh, and Lila Rira) in futuristic sci fi setting, more so in Zeta Gundam--also had much in my thoughts.

Whachu talking bout, Willis?

Semper Fi

Wait....was that 1980s or 2180s?

Yeah, they are in futuristic and militarized society that might have leeway for female to serve.

Plus imagine female in skintight jumpsuit uniform before they suited up and head to hangar.

Just had a thought.

Was it me or Mospeada should have arts or at least background extras being female Mars Base pilots?
Just a thought based on a female soldier in form-fitting jumpsuit, either 2nd or 3rd liberation fleet*.

* I know Robotech dub had deviations, but was the 3rd fleet part of Mars Base or Jupiter Base. Other than Houqet's armor (probably the first fleet and she might have done custom paint job), not sure how she got it, we don't see much of Jupiter Base or maybe other colonies.

I remember the comic more, not sure if how Tommy and Billy will be made since magic don't exist in MCU and Scarlet can't use it.

It went south the moment Byrne took over and dislike Wanda and Vision romance due to "having a relationship with a toaster".

It brought us Wiccan but it also brought House of M and turned Wanda into genocidal monster.

Hm...

Entertainment Archive Alpha: Genesis Climber MOSPEADA File is a bigger book than the previous MOSPEADA: Complete Art Works book.  I think it's one standard paper size bigger in terms of what it was printed on.  The first forty or so actual pages of the book - discounting the introduction and table of contents - are color pages devoted to MOSPEADA's toys and model kits.  There's a ~11 page article on Genesis Breaker with the same art we've seen in various promotional materials elsewhere.  That's followed by the color art pages for all of the show's mecha lineart, and the print quality is NOTICEABLY inferior to the MOSPEADA: Complete Art Works book.  I'm baffled as to why the color art is all noticeably yellow-tinged.  It's not yellowing of the original art, which would be uneven, they're like tinted yellow for some reason.  There's a little more text on them in MOSPEADA File but art itself is printed at just about the same size as in the Complete Art Works book.  The line art section has the same weird yellowing problem on its color sections, and the art is printed slightly smaller than it'd been previously in Complete Art Works (apparently to fit eight model sheets onto a page?).  Some of the black and white lineart looks inexplicably dirtier in this new book too, and the art shows signs of someone inexpertly photoshopping inventory numbers and other markings off the art that were present in the previous book.  Some of the art is helpfully printed in larger sizes than the Complete Art Works book, which makes reading the text handwritten on it easier, but the actual print quality still feels inferior with the uncleaned black specks on many of the pieces.  The one advantage MOSPEADA File has is that a lot of art that was previously printed at index card size or smaller in the episode-specific section of Complete Art Works is reprinted larger in this book like Rainy Boy's bike and those of the various motorcycle gangs.  The stats are unhelpfully scattered around the sections, mixed with the various normal commentary instead of being called out in specific blocks for easy reference.  At the very end it has slightly more preproduction material than Complete Art Works did, but it's nothing new if you've seen the Imai Files.

All told, I would say Complete Art Works is probably the better reference book and better quality book overall... but the MOSPEADA File book does have size going for it in terms of the readability of its line art.  It's somewhat perplexing that the character bios got left out entirely though.

Thanks.

To be honest, Complete Art Works seems to be out of print.

The Entertainment Archive Genesis Climber MOSPEADA File?

Neither book was particularly expensive... the new one is less than $30 US (not counting shipping).

Yes, that one.

anything new added to it?

So a dumb question.
What was the new Mospeada artbook again?
Not the Complete Works, the other?
Between that and the new one, which one should be better (but both of them are expensive)?

Nah, that part is just in his official bio.

And which website, book, interview, or magazine was it?

His rank and unit affiliation are unknown, though it is noted he was a reluctant soldier who joined because his father was a career soldier and one of the commanders of the 1st Earth Recapture mission.

Any mention of that in that episode, I only remember the crashlanding and being rescused by the girl.

Well, I meant the Artland designs.
Sonoda didn't make the Revolution.

I agree to that.
Then again, I do find their uniforms interesting, even it felt too Regal than utilitarian.

Was thinking about commissioning arts based on that (not as good) spin off, haven't found the West force (the green one, especially the shoes, worn by everyone by Luffy--though consider that she had an astronaut-looking suit, so basically stuck with undergarments-equivalent).

Just curious, but does anyone watched Gall Force Revolution, the Japanese-only reboot?
It was a drastic change from the original, like entire conflict turned into Solnoid Civil War.

It didn't show them because it was too busy extoling the virtues of being a sell out collaborator to genetically superior elvish space nazis who hold a monopoly on space travel.

Yeah, I think bias may have been the point.

But even then Star Wars and almost every space opera do have uniforms for villains.

Yeah, to be honest, I watched the show (at least skim through it and it doesn’t seem to show enemy uniforms at all and wonder why.

Well, thanks.

i think I was also looking for the uniforms of enemy side also.

like Four Nations Alliance as stated in the OP.

Cannot see images.

So I am just posting this because I wanted idea for uniforms.

While we do see Abh's uniforms (like the image below) quite alot, I am not sure about uniforms of their enemies (United Humankind and Four Nations Alliance).

Is there any good reference for them if available? Just wanted to make a fan art.

So I decided to post fan arts of uniforms along with speculations in case anyone is interested.
