It seems that \ m \ love to "vote" on a nomination for the best MS mass production, but why did no one here remembers this great fighting machine?
Well, I know that SEED was rare garbage, but still ...
MBF-M1 M1 Astray is a beautiful and stylish mecha with beam weapons and ballistic shield + powerful engine backpack and can be equipped with optional equipment
He is the best!
I like the Murasame more, but yeah, the Astray is nice.
>>14574726
Not even the best MP Astray model
>>14574726
Jesus, the HG model kit was pure shit.
>>14574726
I think it's because it reaches above its station with its Gundam-styled head. Mass production units are supposed to have visors, not eyes and V-fins. Put in a series that already has too many Gundams, and an entire MP line of them just comes across as kind of lame.
The Astray is pretty fucking ugly, the DSSD version is much better.
>>14574766
Why is that Astray cosplaying as a Zeta?
>>14574766
Murasame is great.
I mean admittedly it's bland as fuck as far as transformable mobile suits go, but its elegance is in its simplicity of form.
DSSD > Murashitty > Ashtray
>>14574726
Honestly, what >>14575429 said for me. The M1 doesn't even feel/look like a grunt doing its own thing, it doesn't have its own aesthetic, it's just one more Gundam except it's mass produced for Orb/the Three Ship Alliance and that's how you know they're super goodest guys, even their mass production machines are Gundam. CE is already bloated with Gundams since pretty much every single important/powerful machine is one, it didn't need to also have a mass production version.

Dagger was the best grunt in CE.
I personally think the Strike Noir is the best SEED suit.
And the Build Strike shits on SEED as well.
>>14576436
Maybe if you stripped off some of the crap of that backpack
DID SOMEONE SAY THAT THE 105 DAGGER IS THE BEST GRUNT SUIT OF ALL TIME?!
BECAUSE I THINK I HEARD SOMEONE SAY THAT THE 105 DAGGER IS THE BEST GRUNT SUIT OF ALL TIME!
>>14574726
It also has the cutest and sexiest female test pilots ever. That's a plus right there.
>>14576816
Why the fuck would they let someone that needs glasses pilot a mobile suit? You know they don't let people with imperfect vision fly jets right.
>>14576820
Don't bully the Juri. It's the loyalty to her friends that counts.
>>14576820
> You know they don't let people with imperfect vision fly jets right.
As long as your vision is at least 20/70 and can be corrected via glasses to 20/20 you can be an Air Force pilot. Civilian pilots can wear glasses too. It's not like they have much choice since vision impairment is so wide spread these days and only going to get more so since reading of any kind is what causes most vision degradation - including from computer screens. If they didn't accept people with corrective measures to hit 20/20 they'd probably have no candidates in a few decades.
>>14577123
No wonder I need glasses, reading and reading off computers is my #1 passtime
>>14576816
>>14576820
I think the better question is why glasses exist in the scientific space-future when lasik is a thing right fucking now.
They have to be purely cosmetic.

>letting waifuism define your taste in robot

>they're all noobs that aren't even very good pilots
>they all die to unnamed grunt enemies
Well at least I can safely say you have shit taste in both women and robots.
Orb scum.
>best grunt
>best zaku
Flags and the rest of the Flag series, including the Braves, are the best.
This is undeniable.

There's something about SEED's color pallet that makes the suits look a lot more tacky than they should be.
>>14577356
Okawara's color pallet

Doms are basically three of a kind wrecking balls in CE, hardly regular grunts, but if Destiny did something right it was making its three Doms barrel right through shit.
>>14577336
>>14577806
Is it weird that I like the ZAKU and DOM a lot but think the GOUF Ignited is terrible?
>>14577947
yes, very

Yeah, Guaiz was pretty great.
