Here at MechAddict Online, our passion for the world of mecha drives us to build resources that both inform and inspire. Today, we’re thrilled to share a long-term project that’s close to our hearts: the launch of the MS Codex—a comprehensive, fan-powered directory dedicated to cataloging every Mobile Suit (MS) across the Gundam universe. This will be the go-to reference for hardcore Gundam fans, Gunpla builders, and mecha enthusiasts alike, offering unparalleled access to the history, design, and lore of each iconic suit.

What is the MS Codex?

The MS Codex is envisioned as the ultimate guide to Gundam’s vast Mobile Suit universe. This extensive directory will document every Mobile Suit—from the foundational RX-78-2 Gundam to specialized models like the Zaku, Sinanju, and beyond. Each entry will provide high-quality images, technical specifications, and detailed descriptions, giving fans an accessible yet in-depth look at every MS across series, movies, manga, and games.

The MS Codex will be more than just a collection of images and descriptions. It will be a living resource where fans can:

• Explore Every Mobile Suit Design: Browse by series, faction, or era, and discover each suit’s unique specs, features, and historical context.
• Compare Evolution Across Series: Track the progression of iconic suits from their earliest versions to the latest upgrades and alternate universe interpretations.
• Learn About Pilots and Their Stories: Delve into each Mobile Suit’s history, including details on its notable pilots, famous battles, and role in Gundam lore.
• Access Resources for Builders and Artists: The MS Codex will serve as an invaluable resource for Gunpla enthusiasts, 3D modelers, and artists looking for accurate references to inspire custom builds and fan art.

Creating a reference of this scale will be an ongoing journey.
