| Gundam are giant robotic battle machines that have been used to fight the wars of tomorrow since 1979. I've never seen any of the Gundam shows, which is odd considering: 1) I am a geek 2) I like robots 3) I like futuristic space wars |

| This was a "Burning Gundam," so obviously I had to try to burn it. It came with two swords and a winged jet-pack: these accessories did not seem to help the Gundam survive. This Gundam endured roughly 13 minutes of Solar Death Ray, and only sustained moderate damage. I was impressed, but this was an ultramodern war robot: how could it possibly triumph in the future if it couldn't withstand today's death ray? |

| In a strange twist of fate, the Gundam universe contains something very much like a highly evolved Solar Death Ray: the "Solar Flare System" Here is information on the Solar Flare System from www.gundamofficial.com Solar Flare System: A strategic weapon used by the Earth Federation Forces in their attack on the space fortress Solomon. Like the weapon devised by the ancient inventor Archimedes, this array of mirrors focuses the sun's light into a single devastating point, capable of carving through solid rock. The Solar Flare System consists of four million individually adjustable mirrors, computer- coordinated to form an immense lens tens of kilometers across. Yeah, right! As if something like that could work! |
