What do the tubes do?

>>14685671
Not even really sure. Maybe they have something to do with energy and fuel distribution

>>14685671
Make the gunpla fans want to kill themselves.

>>14685671
Septic tank

>>14685671
Supposedly they're power piping, I guess because the Zeons were shit at getting energy from the reactor to the important bits while keeping it armored.

Zaku parts thread?

What does the boner brick on mobile suits do?

>>14685696
Yea, they're power cables. Zeeks are shit at armoring essential components, that's why they're on the outside instead of in the neck or legs.

>>14685749
That's the refueling slot.

The funny thing is even cutting them doesn't completely cripple the suit it just makes it slower the reactor is provideing power to the suit its just doing so shitily I know the head cable controls the main camera.

>>14685769
So that's what Gundams call it when there's loud banging in the hangars late at night

>>14685671
The real question is what the spikes on the shoulder pauldron does. Besides make it look really cool.

>>14685830

Battle Archduke Ferdinand.

>>14685830
Those are for when you're piloting your Zaku and you decide to let your American football lineman experience take the controls in battle.

>>14685830
In long-range combat you attempt to push your right shoulder out in order to block fire, in close-range your left shoulder is available as a weapon while still allowing your right to fire your MMP-78. Tactics, girl.

>>14685851
But they tend to hold their weapon in the right hand, braced with their left. If the idea is to turn their right flank into the line of fire they'd have to shoot left-handed.

What if the tubes exist solely for the purpose of having people ask "what do the tubes do?"

>>14685671
My guess, its for Zaku II's cooling system

>>14685671

CO2 feed tubes for the onboard fountain drink machine.

those tubes are for piping in whatever gas it is that makes zeeks the way they are.

>>14685750
Then how come Zaku I as older model can distribute its power without the cables?

>>14685933
I have been looking for this forever anon, fucking thank you.

>>14686054
Much lower power reactor. Zaku I is clunky as fuck.

>>14686054
>>14686091

So easy, a cripple can use it.

When Amuro rips the face tubes off in the first episode I'm pretty sure it sprays out oil. That's not to say this isn't space oil used as coolant.

The internet

So pilots can shitpost EFF on side7chan before skirmishing?

>>14685671
>What do the tubes do?

Nothing.
Besides that :

1- They're cool looking
2 - It's as distinctive as the monoeye in differentiating zeon suits from the earth's federation Gundam.
3 - It looks cool.

>>14687857
I thought the tubes carried coolant/power to various systems of the mobile suit.

If I take them off will it die?

>>14685869
Why do you think the Zucks lost the war?

>>14685896
I think they might be fuel or maybe hydraulics because I
remember in MS IGLOO 2 when a Zaku had some of its tubes blown off
it moved really fucked up and shaky afterwards before it was finished off

>>14685671
tube? all i see is a mustache

>>14688242
Why does coolant or power need to go from the front to the back of the head?

>>14689305
Zekes are dumb.
