■ Cover story: Mechanics of the Eternal Rivals
Rivals stand opposed to our heroes, giving them all the fight they can handle—sometimes more. Strong of will and resolve, they're strong enough to overpower the protagonist at times. And of course, their machines are regularly customized. Of course, none exemplifies the type better than Mobile Suit Gundam's Char Aznable. The "Red Comet" dueled the GUndam to a standstill in his deep-crimson mobile suits. This issue, our cover story looks at rivals' machines.
