It happened. For quite a while too until the mid-season upgrade.

>>14604574

Most Macross shows too, with Plus and 7 being exceptions. I think all the main mechs in Vifam were mass produced too.

>>14604567
Main characters in mass production models is awesome.

>>14604707
Didn't they end up producing Blade Ligers at some point in the second half? I know it happened much later in the timeline.

Liger Zero too for that matter.

>>14604718
7 wasn't an exception. It may have been a heavily customized mass production model, but VF-19s were still mass produced, albeit on a limited scale

I don't think VF-25s were though

>>14604932
>I don't think VF-25s were though

The fact that they're VF-25s and not YF-25s implies that they were on some level.

Actually that one fits this thread in general.

there were dozens of quarters with dozens of VF-25s, it was mass produced.

For the first 6 episodes or so all Crinn got was a normal Soltic.

>>14605295

I thought Crinn didn't pilot at all for much of the early show and was more about his decision to leave home for Deloyer and why he wanted to fight? I need to watch Dougram again.

>>14604937
YF just means prototype the 25 could still be non-MP.

>>14605349
But it's a VF-25, and VFs are the production models.

>>14605318
This is in the arc where he goes to rescue his daddy.
He gets the soltic because the other pilots all died.

irl, there are almost 200 F-22's and around 4500 F-16's.

>>14605537

We have exact numbers for the VF-1's run as well, though only in fluff so it may be open to some changes or lack of confidence.

"The VF-1 Valkryie was built from 2006 to 2013 producing 5,459 VF-1 variable fighters (VF-1A = 5,093, VF-1D = 85, VF-1J = 49, VF-1S = 30, VF-1G = 12, VE-1 = 122, VT-1 = 68); (Variable Fighter Master File VF-1 Valkyrie Vol. 1, pg. 55)"

Uso was awesome in this regard.
Until the V2 of course.
Or if we go by the novel, it still applies.

Oops, meant to post this.

There are tons of brown VF-25s in Frontier. Watch it again.

>the reason the Victory spent about half the series being only piloted by Usso is because they kept running out of spare legs

>Until the V2 of course.

Well, there WAS more than one V2. That's something, at least.

>>14606005
man, victory gundam always been my favorite, sucha simple and utilitarian look. and didn't come standard with some stupidly huge backpack. they only mounted external gadgets as the situation calls for it. then the fucking v2 just fucking ruined it all...

Fuck you, the verniers are fucking stupid and you know it. Its such a good design otherwise.

>>14606171
Oliver shows up in a V1 Gundam pretty early

>>14606673
Not that anon, but I could see someone thinking the V2's V-motif for the thrusters is a tad bit forced.

Personally, I like them, but I can see that being a complaint.

>>14606680

It's great. And so was "Gundams on rockets" so fuck you twice.

>>14606693
Wings of light is even stupider than "After images with Mass" and "Psychoframes." At least Psycho Frames are just like, FUCK IT ITS SPACE MAGIC CREATED BY AUTISTIC CHILDREN.

>>14605260
Too bad the show is garbage.

Wasn't Souske's Bounta-kun the prototype, though? Not that there seems to be any difference between it and the final aside from color.

>>14608389
It appears to be a commander use version actually, given there's a scene where Miami's (I think it was Miami) chief of police is wearing a bonta-kun powersuit in the same color but with a police uniform and a moustache instead of tactical gear.

>>14605318
No, he was running around in a Soltic up until the initial coup ended.

I agree. It shows their exceptional ability as pilots instead of just having a "pay to win" better model.

The V2's WoL are the most simple and practical variant.

Needs to be older than 100 to be a relic of technology long lost to manking.

Is Zoids good? I remember building all the kits when I was a kid, never watched the anime though. I've been tihnking about picking it up for the sake of nostalgia.
