6 thrusters.....why?

>>13707165
3x faster without having to paint it red.

Because if it still technically has 6 thrusters it's almost like he didn't totally anal rape the original design, right?

>high voltage cables in the backpack

Mechanical engineer, how?

>>13707216
Wait, is that the original version, with OP's being the Katoki version?

Because Katoki's is better. Original looks like an overweight dwarf wearing a backpack, shoulder pads, a fanny pack, and high boots.

>>13707227
Mobile suits use reactor heat to ignite propellant. Not sure if that has anything to do with it.

>>13707261
And Katoki's looks like he took 5 minutes awkwardly squishing some token features onto a Gundam Ver.Ka with GM Quel shoulders.

>>13707216
That design was sodomized at conception, anon.

>>13707286
Oh no, an RX-78 looks like an RX-78!
Whatever are we to do about this travesty?

>>13707227
Did Takegawa study mechanical engineering?

>>13708543
see >>13707278

It probably isn't cables so much as whatever method they use to transfer heat to the point of combustion.

>>13707286
Except 7th is an RX-78 line mech, so that makes a lot of sense.

>>13708523
>Ver.Ka
>looks like an RX-78
You make funny joke.

>>13710317
The whole idea of 7th is that it's a highly specialized very late Gundam variant where the armour has been changed because it was designed with full armour in mind from the beginning. It still looks more like the original than GP01 let alone GP02 and GP03.

The 7th's old profile states that it's the same class of design as the Alex, which isn't exactly part of the main RX-78 family. Katoki's rx-78-8 just looks like a customized RX-78-2

>which isn't exactly part of the main RX-78 family

The Alex was developed directly from the RX-78-2.

>>13711603
It may seem difficult to grasp, but the Alex is an RX-78-2 derivative, as is the 7th.

It's similar to bitching about the F-15J looking too much like the F-15.

>>13712265
Lets use Gundam terms
It's similar to bitching about the MS-06F Zaku II looking too much like the MS-06 Zaku II.

Right?

Yeah and? You know what else is an RX-78-2 derivative?

More like bitching the Psycommu Zaku doesn't look like the Zaku I.
