lol i agree with ur last statement, but i still enjoy the pointless analysis for some reason xD. Doubt theyll explain it… guess ill just assume that it took them longer to get to the surface, and their full ascent time just wasnt shown… guess Sumeragi thought thought the extra speed was worth using up trans am for… almost was too… but it didnt seem like the carrier had a comm line with the mecha lobster, seeing as they had no idea it got owned so… yeah, shutting up now… xD
neway… ep 5 out! YAY!

I would assume that Trans-AM isn’t really necessary as of yet. Despite having used it 5 years prior, the actual ability isn’t pure knowledge to the A-LAWS because they had no idea how Selavee was moving the Trilobyte. So Arios probably used Trans-AM strictly for a fast-break attack on the A-LAWS ships while the state wasn’t visible.

And yes Trans-AM probably can be turned off because Setsuna turned it off after his fight against Alejandro without using too many of the particles.

As for whether it can be turned on and off consistently, I hope yes, but for the sake of there being a weakness to the gundams…probably not. Otherwise they could simply turn it on to zoom to an area within the enemies’ blindzones, turn it off to save particles, and fire.

Watching Arios in this ep it seems either: 1)Trans-am can be deactivated mid-cycle (guess that come in useful) 2)Arios’s Trans-am only lasts for about 5 seconds at most (damaged solar furnace or something?) or 3)maybe activation time is severely decreased underwater….? Hopefully its the first explanation… then again why would he stop trans am right BEFORE going into battle and get his @$$ kicked by Soma (or does he secretly like getting shot by her…?)
Why do i enjoy overanalysing fictional technology…?

I’d like to back the first one, but then they’d have to explain why they didn’t just shut off Trans-Am before their solar furnaces were depleted and they had to run on low-power those few times it happened in Season 1. That way it’s simply an extra boost item rather than a double edged sword which bounces back and slashes you in the shoulder.

;/ Really though, who knows?

Macross Ace Frontier has some sick EX mission… I digress, it still doesn’t make sense to have Mr Blondy here to become an otaku. Is Sunrise running out of ideas?

Critics complain that the villains or Char incarnations in Gundam shows have unrealistically weird costume or headgear. Now, Sunrise finally found a good excuse for Graham’s absurd get-up. He’s an otaku cosplayer! Isn’t that brilliant? XD

Of all the names they could have given Graham they went with “Mr. Bushido”? Really Sunrise? You’ve got that Janitor writing for you again haven’t you. God dammit.

Somewhat. Even Mister Drool-seetoh or to the extent of LOL-shitdo. An extreme case is AHHOCK (AnotHerHotOlfactoryCheatKaypoh)… a rather dumb reference to Char Aznable Clones (CZC=CZK=Czech Koruna)…
