Guyver vs IT
If an Exceed wanted, there is no Earth. With a controlled gravity well (the Implosion) it can literally consume the world. Outside that with the Exceed it can obliterate the whole town leaving IT nothing to feed on if it didn't kill him. IT depends on victims living inside the town area of Derry to feed. Remove it's feeding zone = no foods for it. Again if you're mixing the supernatural and the world of the Guyver, then you've to apply equal limitations. ANY organic being including it depends on a body. If it's not organic then why doesn't it feed? The Guyver can kill it. Killing a Guyver soul does nothing, it can be regenerated in a new host. Much like Sho's now 3rd body? Oh and 4th brain? Whatever Soul Sho had died against Enzyme. He was reduced to a memory store and cells we know have some genetic memory (the Guyver clone knew where Sho's school was).

Guyver vs IT
There are no "magical" beings in the Guyver story. But in the end it doesn't matter you've to go with the content of what you're given when doing these Vs. Telepathic powers have being used against the Guyver, the bio-boosted Host ignored them and attacked the source of them. When Hamical tried to talk with the Gigantic Cocoon he could not so, bot a good sign for IT. You're basically saying in your post "Ignore the Guyver completely, because IT rely on Telepathic powers forget the Guyver name. After that on the pure ONE on ONE aspect of them comes into play. And in that regards nothing IT has can take a Guyver'd human host. Without a remover, Deadlights are taking nothing from a Guyver host. The host would simply be regenerated and kill IT before it can move. Again IT was killed by 7 humans with sticks / metel spikes and other low grade weapons. A Guyver would wipe the floor with it the moment the host realised IT was full of shit and depended at the very most on the hosts fear. Either way once IT comes up against a Guyver, IT is dead. And as you bought it up, an Exceed Guyver could completely obliterate IT and the town of Derry in one move. The power scale there isn't in anyway a good match. So game set, match and the Universe = an Exceed Guyver. Hell you're talking moon destroying levels of firepower there with it's controlled gravity implosion never mind an Exceed level Giga smash from low orbit pointed at the town.... It's just another level of complete destruction there.

Guyver vs IT
IT heavily depends on 2 things to eat it's victims: 1) Mind control -> Won't work on a Guyver. 2) installing fear on a Guyver through it's powers / the dead eyes. Again being a form of mind control a Guyver Unit would shield the host. After that IT can be taken out by brute force weapons from a group of children. So going toe to toe against a Guyver with head sensors and abilities to move under ground = IT is toast.

You have to kill the Guyver....
Just because they can't find it on Earth doesn't mean that the Uranus didn't have plenty of supply. They had worn hole tech available to them so that wouldn't have being a limitation. "It's Natural, it happens" for old age isn't again a problem to such a race. As a species we've already almost conquered aging to a point where future generations biggest issue is going to be how to manage a population that doesn't age. Genetics is crazy stuff, cancers etc in future will not be the problem it is now. Hell even how our bodies react to space, to radiation etc will all change in the future due to research now. In the Guyver Universe the "creators" have already got not just this knowledge but have turned a parasitic species into a bio-armour. So age to them if they want it to be isn't a problem like it is to us now. It also stands to reason that they simply don't see life with the limitations we do and had the capability to wait for evolution to provide answers to problems they had. That's EON's of time, you're not talking thousands of years but millions simply waiting and seeing what happens. So allowing death to get in the way when they didn't have to doesn't seem like the best approach. It's not that didn't happen, but old age simply wasn't a concern to them. Though here's a thought, what makes you think that they were beings like us? With know the Relics are Immortal as long as they have supply of volcanic heat they live forever (the Japanese Relic confirms this). So simply put, what if with that giant organic brain that was in the ships and a Unit G's telepathic powers the Uranus themselves were never on earth? Only their ships were and they operated everything remotely and any creature they had with those control medals were simply puppets they controlled? FYI I'm not saying that Sho is now an immortal as we still don't know the long term effects of a unit on a host. There is a very big difference in age on a teenager to early adult and a host aging to a point were their body starts failing them. But simply put that part of any debate is mute because Takaya simply hasn't given us enough info.

You have to kill the Guyver....
Steve Wang consulted with him about his script, so yeah we can for the most part class it as canon because Takaya wouldn't have let something completely wrong stay in the story. As Steve himself has said, He done that one for the fans as we've seen lately Steve Wang had met Takaya before.

You have to kill the Guyver....
As shown in Dark Hero some ships had a LOT of dormant Units. Also in the comics the Relic in Arizona is refereed to as being larger than the other 3 in the comic. In Alkanphel's flashback when the Uranus tell him that he'll be one of 12 Zoalords they show him 12 Arks. So not every ship the used was the same and the Ark's design is most likely a Uranus warship of somekind modified by Chronos. Look at the scene when hey talked to Alkanphel there were 9+ control medals in the darkness lit up. They were never limited in anything the Uranus wanted in terms of numbers their own tech.they just had to grow it (which took A LONG time for some things like humanity to appear). But you are totally correct on the Unit being basically a hazmat / command and control system / very advance space suit. To quote them "We have merged a non-processed human with the armor we commonly equip ourselves with". Purely because "We wish to know how our amour will effect a being that's being developed as a weapon".

You have to kill the Guyver....
That's not quite the case in canon though. There has being 2 times that a Guyver host has being disabled and the Guyver Unit done nothing. 1) Sho suffering huge damage.... that spike from Aptom went through his stomach and out his back. He suffered huge internal injury and the Unit done nothing. If there was a "mental link" that worked as you described and the Unit was smart enough as described by you above it would have ignored the wishes of the host and activated. It did not, it was over a page later when Mizuki was stripped in front of Sho that he eventually broke through his own mental guilt to activate the unit. Meaning the host controls it. 2) Sean gets knocked out in the Dark Hero Movie. Again the host was effectively turned off and due to damage to the brain by an outside force. But once again the Unit didn't do anything to protect the host. Remember to Uranus / Federation this is just as a standard item of equipment so to them losing on because a host didn't want to activate it / was silly enough not to have it on and be bashed over the head wouldn't have mattered to them at all. They'd just make another Unit.

IT (2017)
Saw it last night. There we some proper good scary things in there that will make you jump. The actor they got for Pennywise this time around was also properly scary and is a great performance. It doesn't hold back either. So yeah I have to say I was impressed.

New story preview - 00
I'm a little burned out of re-writes at the moment so have decided to do something both new and important to the current story and have started a prequel that will eventually lead to the events of the 2 live action movies as parts of this story which will eventually stop just before Union of the Guyvers. Here is a preview of the story so you can get a feel for it:
-
New Chapter status?
Yep, and next months cover is that cat looking thingy female character....
-
Anyone else love OVA 12?
The animation might not have being the best throughout all the 12 epps. But if not for that series I'd have not being introduced to Guyver so it automatically has a place other Guyver content will never get in terms of importance for me. I still watch it again from time to time, it's still fun to watch but I do prefer the 2005 version for story.
-
Who still uses DVD?
I've a decent DVD collection but now rarely add to it. Only tend to when it's something on the level of new Guyver stuff.

what if...
This is one of those "unknowns" of Guyver that basically is impossible to say without Takaya getting involved. There are 2 schools of thought on this and basically the both could be right. 1) The Unit doesn’t interfere with the host natural systems -> Hence aging isn’t stopped and there is the possibility of the host simply dying of old age while the Guyver armour is in the boost dimension. This is supported somewhat by the fight with Aptom in the comics / manga that the Unit wouldn’t come to help the Host automatically when there is a life threating injury. So the question would be what happens after the hosts death? Does the unit without it’s anchor to the world simply drift in the Boost Dimension or simply reset and return to the world to be there for a new host? Impossible to say as we don’t know. 2) The Unit does interfere with the host natural system -> So in this possibility the Unit does stop / slow down aging. It’s supported by the idea that the Creators / Uranus live a LONG time. So what if the key to that long life is the Unit-G? It is found that humanity might cure aging by changing one DNA key in rats so the possibility of long life without a Guyver Unit is a possibility maybe in our lifetime. So in this fiction to say a Guyver Unit might stop aging isn’t too farfetched given the powers the Unit has. We know when active the Guyver Unit turns organs off and beings in new ones while bio-boosted. The Host is changed by being a Guyver and has growths on their attached to their spine back to communicate with the Unit when it is in the boost dimension. So correcting a slight flaw in a host so it doesn’t age wouldn’t be that hard. But again, this isn’t something Takaya has confirmed in anyway.

Website Update Thread
FYI at the moment I've being adding new icons to the different sections of the board. E.g. Cartman saying "Whatever" for the Whatever / Entertainment section. As I find ones I like I'll add them to the board. Note if anyone had a picture they think suits a section let me know (though whatever it is needs to be the same size as the Guyver picture in the Guyver section).

You have to kill the Guyver....
It wouldn't work. Even on a normal Guyver as it has too many options of retreat and to attack. The Guyver is never really surprised when active, it has reactions capable of shooting a bullet out of the air and head sensors that go for miles. Look at all the fights Guyver II F got into on her way to Japan, the only zoanoids that gave her any pause was Enzyme III's and a Powered Zerabubuse. As per the OP's post, "you're a zoanoid tasked with assassinating a Guyver," your method involves too many people and too many resources. The simplest method requires a gun, a silencer and the Guyver not active. Sho when wounded by Aptom would have died from blood loss but Aptom wanted to kill a Guyver, so he kept at Sho until he got over the mental block and wanted the power of a Guyver. Same in Dark Hero, Sean was nocked out and was about to be drugged but Atkins saved him What that shows is the only way to truly get a Guyver is get them when they are weakest, a human. Chronos in both the 2005 Anime and Guyver Out of Control both used guns as means of killing people. Or just use a Laser guided bomb and get the Guyver in human form while she / him sleeps.

You have to kill the Guyver....
I'd like to point out that a Nuclear bomb did not take out Cabral Khan. So at Gigantic Level the Guyver could take it. Chances are though at Gigantic Level his head sensor range would be great enough (bare in mind it's 50 odd KM's as a standard Guyver) to destroy any missile or bomb before it got a chance to detonate. Nuclear Winter wouldn't be a concern to the Guyver given it's ability to filter air. Given the flight range and powers it has it would survive most of that and you'd most likely end up killing humanity long before you'd kill the Gigantic Guyver.

New Guyver Figma's
So far it seems to be roughly 1 or two per year. Now that Guyver 3 is released we'll probably see the next prototype soon.

Shoot him / her in the head before bio-boosting.

Riv's random self
Like some of the members have said here, never work for free. In my experience It devalues you as you'll be seen to "work for anything". When you do chose a career it's very hard to get that first job but eventually you will. You're going down the right path by if you can't work for someone do work yourself and show off what you can do. I was an avid follower of what Blizzard have done for years, and a number of people who work for them did so by doing things like their own videos etc and effectively wowing the developers there to get work. I know from experience that interviews are like a odd game where you need to be positive about everything. Even if you hated your last job, don't ever admit it and find whatever you can to shine a positive light on it. e.g. worked in a coffee shop try and convince the owner to show off some of your art and develop there webpage. Hell for me, I'd a degree in IT Management and was living in England, the first job I got there was working in the local jobcentre (the place were you go when looking for work and to sign on for unemployment). They were more interested in my work experience in working in a Kebab House in Wales than my degree because I knew how to deal with drunks..... Next thing I knew it kicked off a sequence of jobs that ultimately led me back into IT Support work. Life is weird like that, but keep positive and you'll get here.

Website Update Thread
Hopefully it's being updated. Though I'm open to the option of more themes (as long as the people who designed it keep it up to date). Anyone with some graphic design skills (and more importantly a love of Guyver) want to join in on making a Japan Legend theme and make this more Guyver like is more than welcome. I am thinking something on the lines of a few themes, for the board to give the community a few choices. e.g. while the domain is Japan-Legend this board now is also the combined with that of the 2 message boards of warriorguyver.com so I'm thinking of a warriorguyver theme too to as an option. So there will be at least 3 for people to chose from. This the "default", Japan-Legend and then Warrior Guyver. If someone wants to add to that it's not a problem.

Website Update Thread
The option to change should be at the bottom of the front page of the site. Though it's turned off at the moment. If they update / fix it I'll put it back up as an option. At the moment it looks very bad and basically 5 massive buttons take over every post. Can't say when this will be though as I'm not the creator of the theme. I'll check again this weekend though and let ye know here if it is fixed or possibly replaced.

New Chapter status?
This isn't the first time this has happened though. Guyver has being around a long time, and it's still listed as a Shonen Ace product with yet even more Merc forcast to come out (last weeks Wonderfest had new Guyver stuff from Prime 1). So it's by no means dead. The issue is a lack of contact. If not for Steve Wag and Max updating us with the picture of the "Guyver team" we'd have being more worried that something is badly wrong. The issue is we've really know idea what's happening. Other than we're getting new stuff... just not manga that we really want.

Website Update Thread
Over the weekend the messageboard was updated to the latest version. This has given more LIKE options for posts. Note there has being an unexpected result from this. People who use the old "RED" look for their view have being given HUGE like icons. The theme hasn't being updated yet. The Default standard theme updated automatically and is working fine.
