** It's an alternate continuity where that's just what a GM, a Gelgoog, etc. looks like. It's why the model kits aren't sold in the HG-UC line, but instead the HG-TB line. Same as ''Manga/MobileSuitGundamTheOrigin'' but subtler since it's different characters.

Also, the core blocks they used was a vastly simplified version, it didn't have weapons or a learning computer (said to be the most expensive component in the Core Fighter), and was more akin to an escape pod.

** essentially, the thunderbolt sector was a potential staging ground for a direct attack on side 3 which is probably why the feddies were willing to put the resources they did Into it especially near the tail end of the war. As for the living dead division, I suspect it was mostly a cost saving measure, defend the important location with as few troops as possible by using elite snipers with nothing to lose, and at least near the wars beggining there probably wasn't a pressing need for that many troops stationed there on defense when your largely winning. At the point thunderbolt takes place though, the zeeks were stretched to the breaking point so there probably wasn't much if any to send the living dead divisions way, who were pretty battered by that point anyways, I mean they were always a small force to begin with but apparently at their peak they had about 20-23 mobile suits and in thunderbolt they have... about 4 or 5.

** Units in the Thunderbolt sector were supplied that way in order to allow them to operate for long period away from supplies, an example of this would be (in the Manga) where we see a pilot exchange occurring with a Zaku II and a Big Gun, with the suit remaining in place and not undergoing resupply. The Moore Brotherhood (and presumably The Living Dead Division too) also had a surplus of Weapons and Supplies in relation to their mobile suits, so they could equip each one with extra equipment in order to give it better odds against the enemy.

* What's the G-Fighter doing here? For those of you who don't understand, let me elaborate. The G-Fighter was present in the original ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'' as a Main/MechaExpansionPack to the RX-78-2 Gundam. When it came time to do the [[Main/CompilationMovie movie trilogy]], Tomino decided to [[{{Retcon}}replace the G-Fighter with the more realistic Core Booster]] which was an add on to the Core Fighter. In all subsequent material, the Core Booster is used instead of the G-Fighter. Makes sense, right? However, in both the [[Main/CompilationMovie ''December Sky'' movie]] and the first episode of season 2, the G-Fighter can be seen. So, has the G-Fighter been retconned back into existence as something that was developed but not used in the One Year War? Or does this take place in the original timeline? Alternatively, this could just be one big Main/ContinuitySnarl...
