Is the Geara Zulu really based on the Geara Doga?

Admittedly, I think that the Geara Zulu is basically the Doga with the Stahlhelm Heads from the Zaku II FZ B-Type.

Well they have to make it look different...

Yes, obivously. the Zulu is just Doga/Zaku cross put through a Katoki filter.

dude, you just saw what looked like a carrying handle and thought that must be M16. there are plenty of other military rifles with similar handles you know?

>>14336338
To be fair, hasn't it been concluded that the OG MS-06 Zaku II's cannon is actually based on an AR-15 pattern rifle?

Anyway this is a shitty thread in its own right, you'd be blind to deny the evolution of body plan between the two Geara models. Zulu is literally a trimmed Doga.

>>14336256
They should be just Zaku IV and Zaku V.

>>14336344
What's really interesting is how the Zaku MG is basically a replica of the Lewis gun

>>14336354
Yeah but that makes the Zeeks look like they have no creativity.

>>14336354
It's sorta the same reason the Jegan isn't the GM IV. Gotta have some new things.

Man why were 90% of ZZ era mobile suits such angular garbage?

There's your answer.

Ey, fuck you son, ZZ's suits are ace

At least the Jegan actually looks different from the GM, even if fulfilling a similar role and keeping a signature trait (visor).

The Geara series keeps the same color scheme and even specific design details of the Zaku series, like the shoulder shield and external cables. The Doga even also has the shoulder spikes (and although the Zulu removes that it has a face closer to the Zaku).

The Zaku III and Doven Wolf rule. Suck my dick.

>>14338291
I'd like the Doven Wolf a bit more without the belly guns

>>14338377
The Jegan is just a skinnier, pointier GM with better vernier placement and a cooler shield.

There's always the Silver Bullet.
It's too bad they had to stick that Gundam head on it though.

No, you might be thinking of the Zaku II F2's machine gun, even then not really.

>>14339264
There's a GM head version too.

It also had a red chin.

>>14339264
See? Now that looks pretty nice. Get that kit, replace with a roper Doven Wolf head & shoulders, and you've got a nice looking suit

>>14336256
It's like they tried to take the Doga design and add more Zaku elements, but got the worst of both suits somehow.

It seems purely aesthetic to me, which is why I don't like it. I think by comparison the Zulu looks much less interesting, and more like a Zaku, just to attract the OYW crowd. I would have preferred if they made it look closer to the Doga than a Zaku to attract the hardcore crowd, which I know is never considered by Banrise.
