Someone explain to me the appeal of the GM and its variants and successors. They look dorky and featureless, and they're even more cannon fodder material than Zeek suits like the Zaku. So why do so many people like them?

I would like the plain old GM if it wasn't for its head. That visor's shape looks so incredibly fucking stupid. Jegans and Jestas, though, they're nice.

They're like gundam, but without the samurai face motif.
Besides that, I like the motorcycle helmet look and overall simple blockyness of GMs.

Jegans are great. Some of the later GM variants are nice too.

Original is a shit. That one piece front skirt armor and boring face are shit.

He's right, though. The GM has a shit-tier visor. Granted, I don't mind like the rest of the design, and most of its variants, successors, and redesigns have vastly improved faces, but the visor on >>14397679 is just boring. And I say that as someone who typically has a huge boner for visors on mecha.

>>14397714
I tend to have my complaints about Katoki, but I'll give him this much: the man is quite possibly the best in the industry when it comes to visors.

Because feddie loyalty

Also, Gundam in it's entirety is a series of wars driven by individual flashy, mary-sue samurai mecha.

When a series revolves around the near-super-robot Gundams being cool, it's more fun as a fan to appreciate anything but the main mecha.

Not him. But I guess you would know what useless looks like seeing as GM Quels never even got any on-screen action.

Reminder that most ace feddie pilots complained when it was apparent the vanilla GM was a cheap piece of shit. Hence why we got GM Snipers and other variant GMs that don't look dinky.

I like the GM because I like Grunts, I may be feddie but the Zaku F2 and Zaku FZ look nice to me as well (and they'd look better in feddie colors because who the fuck paints a machine for use in fucking space GREEN)

Because i think they're cool.
They don't need to look any more "hardcore". They look nice and simple. You can recognize then amd separate then from the Gundam easily despite sharing much of the same basic design aspects.

Why is the GM III's visor different in Unicorn? In ZZ and CCA they're more oval shaped but in Unicorn it has an upside down T shape.

The canon explanation is that AE bought out Zeonic so the departments working for ex-Zeonic keep selling stuff without notifying management. Hence Neo Zeon Gearas, Sazabi etc

>>14401859
Gm II was an all around improvement over the regular gm that didn't require a new frame to be designed and could be applied to existing GMs. The reason they sucked so bad in zeta is they had been around a couple of years by then and there was a tech jump.

Most if not all of them were built upon the original GM frames.

The ones that were newly built are the Nouvel GM IIIs
>>
>>14401879
It's possible. Since GMs use titanium construction, without heavy usage they wouldn't suffer from fatigue issues.
>>
>>14401887
That and GM IIs had two different designations, RGM-79R and RGM-179. It would seem the 79R models would also have been built from the first GMs.

Yeah, and it's only been about 8 years from the first GM to the first GM III.
