Gundam

1. A franchise of Japanese animation television series, OVAs, and movies, along with manga, models, video games, and other connected merchandise. Gundam is the property of Bandai of Japan and it's subsidiary Sunrise Incorporated, headquarted in Kobe Japan. The origional Gundam TV series, which aired in 1979 was called Kido Senshi Gundamu (Mobile Suit Gundam) and was the brainchild of anime legend Yashuyuki Tomino. Gundam as a general term can be used to denote not only the origional series, but any work that came after it. The UC series created by Tomino himself are regarded by critics and die-hard fans as being vastly superior to any of the newer incarnations.

2. A high performance mobile suit used in a work which is part of the Gundam franchise. Gundams, like all mobile suits are large humanoid combat vehicles inititially developed for use in outer space conflict. The first Gundam was developed as part of the Earth Federation V-Project in 0079 of the Universal Century, to counter the Principality of Zeon's technological superiority. Needless to say, it was a success. Gundam can be used to refer to any of the derivatives of the Gundam in the UC universe, or any copies in alternate universes. Gundams are characterized by their signature V-Antenna, two eyes, and a somewhat blocky anthropomorphic design. They are often white, with red and white components, and are usually piloted by the heroes of the story. Note:All Gundams are mobile suits, but not all mobile suits are gundams.

G Gundam

In the Year FC 60, much of mankind inhabits space colonies which orbit the Earth. Dominance over the colonies is decided once every four years by a large tournament in which each nation sends a single representative to fight the others with a giant robot called a Gundam. Domon Kashuu is selected to represent Neo-Japan in one of these tournaments, but he fights less to ensure his nation's victory than to find his brother, who has been blamed for the deaths of Domon's parents and the disappearance of a very dangerous weapon, the Dark Gundam or Devil Gundam.

G Gundam was shown in the U.S. on Toonami in 2002. There are a total of 49 episodes.

Gundo

The act of rushing to score before all players are in game. To cap a flag in capture the flag before all players are able to move due to connection times.

This can be done in online gaming instead of waiting for all participants to enter the game. Usually done by insecure players who feel a need to score before all opponents are there as this is the only way they might score. eg: That asshole just Gundo'd the flag ! WTF , Who gundo'd the flag?

the cheating prick...

gundark

Gundarks are strong elephant-sized predators which appear to be found on several worlds throughout the galaxy. The hide is tough and pinkish-orange, with a distinctive warty crest running the length of the long neck and around the mouth and eyes. The head is hammer-shaped and flat, with the eyes on the extremes to either side. This arrangement provides excellent binocular vision and spatial judgement used to aim the enormous muscular tongue, which thrusts from the rounded mouth to lengths of over five metres, ensnaring and constricting prey. In addition to raw strength, the tongue seems to bear suckers and what looks like a sticky excretion. It is said that once a gundark latches its tongue onto something, it never lets go.

Princess Leia and C-3PO were unlucky to meet a pair of voracious gundarks on an uncharted jungle planet during the search for a new base to replace the Hoth facilities.

Han Solo: "You look like you could pull the ears off a gundark!"

it's a gundam!

A phrase commonly said after seeing said gigantic robot, which, when uttered, will inexplicably trigger a gigantic explosion to consume you or many of your comrades. It is entirely possible that said mecha would be unable to fight if a nameless enemy soldier didn't shout this first.

Nameless soldier: "IT'S A GUNDAM!"
*Arm explodes for no apparent reason*
"HE'S GOOD!"

Zeta Gundam

1. The series Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, which is a direct sequel of the first Gundam series Mobile Suit Gundam. Zeta Gundam is praised by many gundam fans as the greatest series ever made due to its dark and depressing storyline (which is what a "war" anime should be). The story is about 7 years after the events of Mobile Suit Gundam where the Earth Federation has gone corrupt under the control of an elite group named the "Titans" while a group of rebel forces named the AEUG aka Anit Earth Union Group fights against the Titan's totalitarian rule.

2. MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam: The mobile suit piloted Zeta Gundam's protagonist: Kamille BIdan. It can transform into a plane known as "Waverider mode" to increase its speed

1. "I got so depressed from watching Zeta Gundam."- Zeta gundam fan

2. "You'll never understand, because you think war is just a game. You can't comprehend the power that's flowing through my body! Well...you still wanna fight?"

*transforms into waverider mode*

"UAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGH! BE GONE FROM THIS WORLD!!!"
