So, what does /m/ think the best and worst mid season upgrades are? I kinda absolutely hate the Double X but I love Burning Gundam. Can apply to other shows than Gundam too.
>>
Double zeta is nasty
Barbatos anything after normal shoulders are nasty
>>
I actually much prefer Shining over Burning
>>
Try Burning was one of the laziest things I've ever seen.

Meanwhile Star Build Strike pleasantly surprised me. It's amazing how much different the Build Strike looks without giant wings. Also something finally hooked onto the Strike's chest vents, those always seemed like they were made for that.
>>

>>14303713
Even though most of the time Star Build Strike solved all its problems with Build Knuckle spam?
>>
I really liked Double X minus the face fins, although I wish it got some more weapon options like GX/Divider got.

00 Gundam having an ugly plane bolted to its ass would probably count for my least favorite 'upgrade', although the Zeta Gundam is down there too.
>>
>>14303718
Do you think fights are only the final blow or something?
>>
>>14303718
What does that have to do with the SBS' design?
>>
I really dislike the V2 Gundam in Victory, it ruined the mass production fun of the standard V Gundam.
>>
I wouldn't say it's BAD but I'm not the biggest fan of Valzacard, Valguard looks better.

And it's a damn shame Arc Gurren Lagann only got about 3 minutes of screentime.

>>14303743
Please contain your shit taste
>>
>>14303690
I kinda hated the Double X at first because
>Wow literally TWICE the armament!
But I've grown to really like the design, Kamiki Burning Gundam however is my all time least favourite upgrade. That shit looks retarded.

I don't dislike the Freedom or anything, but I love the Strike so much, that no other mid series upgrade really felt so dissonant to me. However, it became Mu's mobile suit, so I'm cool with it.

The best mid-series upgrade, imo, was probably the Layzner Mark II Ez8.
>>
>>14304218
Freedom looks like a blue colored DX and I don't like it. Fucking Okawara.
>>
>>14303690
I think Gundam 00 handled midseries upgrades pretty damn well, maybe even the best off the top of my head because 00 wasn't even functional proper when they started sortieing it. It didn't even come around because the main gundam got destroyed or they needed a power boost. It had been indev the whole time and was used especially because Setsuna had put the Exia through its paces and straight into the ground.

Worst might be G or SEED, but really any situations where they're like "Well shit, looks like our guy needs some more strength. Why don't you send him the brand new shiny suit we have in the corner there so he can roflstomp again?

do mind that the only reason SBS used it's knuckles is because it was literally out of options.

Try Burning was "Hey, my last resort is my first resort! JEGAN HOW ARE YOU?! SEI. KEN. SUKIIIIII!"
>>
>>14304447
"Burning" is a better name for it. Follows the same name scheme as "Shining" and "Rising," its attacks are mostly fire-based and it has the most blazingly passionate Gundam protagonist as its pilot. And besides, "God" sounds very strange when you consider that there have absolutely been more powerful mobile suits than "God Gundam".
>>
>>14304497
It's God because its opponent is the Devil.

That's literally the only reason.
>>
>>14304487
Yes, SBS was equipped with other weapons and not just its fists like Burning. It's got the absorbing shield and beam rifle with the plavsky gate tricks. We also got to see it use its vulcans and beam sabers.
>>
>>14304554

Some of God's design is lifted from imagery of Japanese deities, particularly the energy ring on its back, so there's that too.

That being said, the Devil Gundam wasn't even called that to begin with, it was the Ultimate Gundam until its crash and subsequent malfunction.
>>
>>14303810

Mk II always felt like if it was made today, it would be a comment on how the anime industry demands familiarity in a franchise. Like that people wouldn't accept the Zeta if it showed up immediately because it's too "different", when really has a Gundam face like any other if you remove the faceplate.

Gundam 00's mid season upgrades are all fantastic, because they addressed the weaknesses of the originals. Exia lacked range so 00 got more guns. Dynames lacked close combat capabilities so cherubim got the pistols. Virtues shield wasn't quite strong enough by the end if s1 and it lacked melee, so the upgrade fixed that, and Kyrios was just lacking in power, so Arios fixed that.

Depends on how you see it. Mazinger got its Scrander but didn't get an actual new mech. Getter G was technically the start of a new show and not mid-season, even if it kept the same cast (sans MUSASHIIIIIII)
The first honest to god mid-season upgrade was probably Walker Gallia.
>>
>>14305002
The original satellite cannon mechanism was so complicated the animators couldn't even get it right. It also led to a really, really awkward toy. Even on the MG, it's super finnicky and puts way too much stress on a single small joint.

The DX's mechanism was probably made simpler to address those problems.

Mazinger Z constantly upgraded throughout the show, Getter G appeared late in the original Getter Robo manga, and Raideen got God Voice late in its own show. Jeeg got upgrades a bunch too.

I think the first one you can quantify as a midseason upgrade were the four Nagahamas, who all got a glut of new attacks and additional reactor power and shit around the middle of their show. The first full robot replacement was Walker Gallier/Gallia from Xabungle.

The best is probably Great Fighbird here. Took a kinda silly looking robot with a flaming chestplate, cleaned up the design a bit by replacing that with Tryder G7 and space shuttle wings and gave us some pretty badass shoulder cannons as well.

Worst of what I've seen would also be from the Brave series, Super Fire Dagwon. Shit's awful.

I always thought the Double X was supposed to have kind of a less refined feel to it. It was one of the handful of Gundams made in the Max Max era of Earth post colony drops. Its less refined design is due to more limited resources. Its odd proportions come from the fact that its made from two salvaged Gundam Xs. The Earth Federation was at one point using it as a stationary deterrent turret (like a WMD), though this is before it was complete.

Huh? They used Jamil's old Gundam X to get the Satellite System (and presumably the Flash System) working, but other then that it's new from the ground up.

The DX's proportions aren't "strange" by any standard definition of that word. The broad shoulders are because it has mounts for the cannons in it. Its arms and legs are fairly standard once you take the reflectors off. The torso is pretty much just GX's with bigger vulcans and two green spots. The head has an X on it because that's the joke.

The DX's lineart looks bad, but that's because Okawara drew it. Look at what he drew for the Leopard for comparison, it looks like somebody stuck a 1/144 head on a 1/100 model.

Worst:

No, going by SRW it's still so goddamn shitty that it has ONE FUCKING WEAPON. Until BX there wasn't a single game where Sirbine was better than Bilbine.

>Also visually it's a mile ahead.

When it's not in Neo Byston Well, sure.
>>
>>14306889
Neo Byston Well is plotless in most SRWs. When they include it, typically there's some manner of secret that gets you Sirbine on top of all the other Dunbine mechs (occasionally another one will give you Zwauth as well).

The only one to run Neo Byston Well plot or have its characters was Compact 3, where you get shot into the future for like two chapters because... because, you get to keep Sirbine, Shion, and the future version of Silky Mau, and it's never really brought up again afterwards.

And calling it an upgrade is hilarious because in basically every game until BX it was "Aura Cut/Hyper Aura Cut/Hyperer Aura Cut" and all the attacks had 1 Range, meaning it's better to use Bilbine or something that can fucking hit at a range of more than 1 instead. BX gave it more range, but in that one it's still arguably worse than Bilbine due to how combination attacks work and the fact that Bilbine has a bunch of those and Sirbine has none. (OE also gave it more range, but not very much more, and it's generally worse than Bilbine - OE also had Hyper Zwauth. We don't really talk about OE though because it's shit)

I like the Mk.II more, because it's just a machine.

The sort of vibe I get from MSG is that despite being THE best thing on the field, the Gundam is still only supposed to be a machine. Its crimes against physics is not much greater than any of its opponents, and while having stronger than usual armor, a beam shot to the cock pit will still do it in (Unless it is piloted by Kira Yamato). It is not a god machine, nor is it an ancient construct of legend, it's just a stronger than usual robot.

I like seeing MP Gundams like the Mk.II because they follow this theme, and they contrast especially strongly when the series in question has a legendary deity-like Gundam as its flagship (Contrast ReZEL with Unicorn).

That and the thing just looks really good.

You sound like you're just really bad at SRW.

Most of those are unimportant Gundams of the week. Burning Gundam is the one used by the protagonist. It's not hard to figure out. That and no one's going to stir up shit over "Dark Gundam" seeing as how that name is almost interchangeable with "Devil Gundam," though I do prefer the former for being one less syllable. Rolls off the tongue easier.

Get some taste, pleb

At least I understand a unit with more than 1 range is better than a unit with 1 range.

Now that you mention Zoids, I always thought Blade Liger was kinda shitty. All they did was replace its guns with Build Knuckles.

Best: What the Destiny could have been.
Worst: The Destiny we got.

I read it somewhere that the Destiny wasn't just supposed to be a Perfect Strike ripoff. It was nerfed so that they could make it look like the Strike Freedom is stronger.

IIRC, these were supposed to be its armaments:
>It's beam cannon thing in its back is supposed to be a VSBR like weapon
>It's Shining Finger thing was supposed to pull off Shining/Burning 's bullshit with the use of Mirage Colloid
>The Wings of Light is not just a cosmetic thing, it's like V2's
>Supposed to have DRAGOONs

Pic unrelated btw.

All made up.

Wacky please go and stay go.
Arch Destiny colors are great tho
>>
>>14307948
Nah, fuck you. Blade Liger was cool as fuck.

"Best Zoids mid-season upgrade" would probably have to go to Hayate Liger, though. Both the Hayate itself and its debut were great.

Was Dibison -> Gun Sniper Custom too early to count as a mid-season upgrade?

Because I think it's the only one I really like.
>>
>>14307966

Nah, there was nothing like Dragoons.

There weren't cut features, what did happen though is that Destiny's descriptions in the model kits released at the time made it seem much stronger than what it was portrayed in the show. The Palma Fioccina was said to be a cannon able to one shot battleships, the Wings of Light give it speed on a different level from any other mobile suit, in addition to using Mirage Colloid to confuse the enemies with the after-images. The side beam cannon also was described as having both extremely high battlefield class firepower -and- high firing rate.

In the end though, in the show itself, the Palma Fioccina becomes a melee weapon that gets destroyed by beam sabers, the side cannon is basically the same as the freaking -Strike's-, without any extra power or speed noticeable, and the wings, like you say there, don't seem to do anything for the speed, with the mirage colloid after-images being rather useless.

Blade Liger's head is significantly different. It looks a lot more ferocious than the Shield Liger, to me. Shield Liger has kind of a teddy bear face.

They really should have used the standard Drive colors, it would have looked slightly better. They only used the blue and gold as a reference to the late Ayrton Senna's F-1 car.

>>14308006
Both EVOLT upgrades were great. Hayate's debut was amazing, and the buildup to Mugen was good, with the MUGEN symbol flashing the episode beforehand and shit. The show did a good job showing off all the side character upgrade too, come to think of it.

Fuck, I remember hearing that shit.

That's more like the staff can't write good action scene.

But really, I wish Destiny was more than Strike upgrade rejects.

I liked the Double X tbqh
>>
>>14303690
the double x and the x divider are very unsatisfying compared to the X with the sat canon.
>>
>>14303810
I prefer mk2, best with titans color scheme. It's a lot less outrageous and super powered than zeta, for lack of a better word looks a lot more 'Normal".
