Guren Naming
The Guren's name should be listed by Japanese name, e.g. Guren Nishiki instead of Guren Type-02, though Kashōshiki makes linking to it a bit annoying. Feel free to revert my edit, posting your opinion here. sploodgeyaay!

Also, I'm not sure of the romanisaton of 絶対守護領域 and 拡散構造相転移砲, someone confirm please. sploodgeyaay! 07:25, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Technically, "Nishiki" means Second Type, so including the original word would just feel like adding Japanese for the sake of it, even if it is a Japanese unit. I don't know, it just doesn't seem right.

The Phantom Glasgow
I think I may have posted this twice, so please delete this if it's superfluous. I'd like to create a page on the Glasgow, but I can't make a red link here as it keeps redirecting me to this page.

How are tanks obsolete to Knightmares
I have yet to know how tanks are inferior to knightmares

Juubi Karakuchi answers
I wouldn't say that knightmares are superior to tanks. Tanks and knightmares are as different as cars and motorcycles, and perform very different roles. As I see it, the job of knightmares is to fill a niche between infantry and traditional armoured vehicles, essentially by being a fast-moving, agile weapons platform. They can support infantry in places where tanks are not ideal, and can support tanks in places where infantry are not ideal. Knightmares can kill tanks, but generally only at very short ranges (no more than a few hundred metres) and against side or rear armour (i.e., by ambush).

Britannia seems to have a pervasive and possibly cultural fixation with knightmares. This seems to be borne out by the DVD artwork describing Code Geass technology, which includes an anecdote about how a hypersonic jet project was abandoned after some General asked where the knightmare was supposed to go.

In the show as well as by other things can't member specifically said tanks are obsolete it said it in the 1st episode(maybe) though it's a anime I can't see a lightly armored walker taking on a Tank but thanks for tellin meGQ Smoke 04:10, December 4, 2010 (UTC)

MR-1 Generation
Some changes may be required, but I thought I'd post here first to see what people think. According to ja.wikipedia, the MR-1 is a fourth-generation Knightmare like the Glasgow rather than a thrid-gen, but designed for the civilian industrial and transportation sectors, hence its lack of weaponry and drastically different design. 14.2.15.75 04:44, February 13, 2015 (UTC)

Bamides, Liverpool and Gardmare
These are officially NOT KMFs, these are their classifications:

-Bamides: combat mecha

-Liverpool: unmanned bipedal tank

-Gardmare: mobile weapon

-The Raikou and Canterbury are still undecided. Balofo (talk) 21:50, April 12, 2016 (UTC)

I somehow get the feeling that people are not going to care. I'm not gonna do anything to the page anyway. DokutaFutomimi (talk) 22:04, April 12, 2016 (UTC)

All KMF are technically mobile weaponss, but there are guidelines to consider any mecha a KMF in the Geass universe. Basically you need Factspheres, Landspinners and manipulators(Britannian original standard). That's why the Gang Lou has seemingly useless hidden manipulators. The Gareth doesn't have either landspinners or manipulators but it's still considered a KMF since it's a MP Gawain. Finally, the Bamides, Liverpool and Gardmare were never named KMFs in a official/semi official source. The Liverpool and Gardmare were erroniously dumped in the Akito official KMF page when they should have done a page for other vehicles for the series. Balofo (talk) 22:18, April 12, 2016 (UTC)
