Ribbons Almark’s mobile suit first appears as a powerful GN Cannon and then the other side of it transforms into his own double GN drive Gundam. The cannon half of the mobile suit seems a little more interesting than the Gundam half. Anyhow the fighting in the last episode was prolific but nothing blazingly interesting or spectacular. I would have to say the coolest part of the episode was finally seeing Allelujah Haptism and Lyle “Lock On” Stratus finally show us that they can lay the smack down when it counts. Allelujah in his Arios Gundam snaps Healing’s Gadessa right in half. Lyle in his beat up suit, uses trans am at the last second to get behind Revive, sticks his gun point blank into him and lets loose.
Ribbon’s Gundam has shooting/ramming bits (funnels) which quickly take down Arios Gundam and then Ribbons and Setsuna go trans am happy. So basically the screen turns all red with flashy fighting… which I suppose is cool for some people, but for me its kind of lame. Anyhow Ribbons wants the original O Gundam GN drive and manages to chop it off and go off somewhere with it. He runs into the abandoned O Gundam, as his Gundam starts to break down, and gets smug with the perfect timing. Meanwhile Setsuna revives Exia for the final battle.
