In my 7 years on /m/, I have never seen a thread just for the Marasai.
So, Marasai thread. Show some love for this lonely Titans grunt suit.
I don't know why, but I always thought the Marasai looks like a fish.

>>15078857
It's an okay grunt but it's just not terribly remarkable, rapidly gets replaced by other machines and doesn't even have the benefit of a clear ancestry like the Hizack being a straight new Zaku.

it's shit
>>15079048
the Zeta Define MS redesigns were hit and miss. The Define Marasai was good, but the Define Asshimar was horrible fucking shit
>>15079070
Yeah felt like a redesign just for the fuck of it.
The Messala was absolutely lovely though
>>15079070
>>15079048
>zeta define
has byarlant and baund doc got define "redesigns" yet?
It's a Marasai thread, stay the fuck on topic.
>>15079147
remember when nasty zeeks got their hands on the Marasai in unicorn... sad day that was. at least a trusty byarlant cut it down.
>>15079158
Marasai was already used by Neo-Zeon in ZZ.
>>15079145
No those suits have yet to deploy.
>>15079163
i know still terrible.
>>15079166
darn really looking forward to byarlant. wonder if they'll fix his no weapons issue?
speaking of, how far is define in the Zeta series?
>>15079171
Asshimar was also used by Glemy's forces in other words green divers specs pretty cool.
>>15079173
>if they'll fix his no weapons issue?
Byarlant is lovely it's the new versions which are horrible.
>speaking of, how far is define in the Zeta series?
I think Hong Kong drama just ended.
>>15079181
>Byarlant is lovely it's the new versions which are horrible.
It is one sexy beast but you can't deny Byarlant doesn't have enough fire power and its hands aren't very useful since it isn't a powerful claw like the Custom nor can it hold guns like a normal suit.
maybe define will give him claw hands to hold guns with or something?
I always thought it'd be cool if byarlant got something similar the Qubeley had wrist guns that are his beam sabers. give him fancy wrists but have normal hands to hold beam rifles with.
>>15079147
Not our fault the Marasai is kinda lame. It'd be the most boring Titans suit if they didn't field the GM II.
>>15079192
>you can't deny Byarlant doesn't have enough fire power
They're already very high output beam guns, stronger than the Gabthley's beam cannons.
>maybe define will give him claw hands to hold guns with or something?
That takes away from the Byarlant's unique design. Besides, the Byarlant and Qubeley don't bother to have handheld weapons because they're already integrated into the arms. Claws aren't an optimal design for holding and manipulating humanoid hand-held guns anyway, and make for shitty melee weapons unless they're huge and/or have some sort of gimmick like the Banshee's Armed Armor VN.
Byarlant Custom unit 2 has regular hands, by the way. Which are idiotically still stupid because the machine itself has long beam cannon-sabres that are mounted to the forearms which means the hands don't have anything to hold, making the hands still pointless.
>>15079580
>stronger than the Gabthley's beam cannons.
no its not. unless you mean those shoulder guns but byarlants beam cannons are no where near Gabthleys beam rifle.
>That takes away from the Byarlant's unique design
they could make the hands look sharper while staying yellow to give the claw look.
>Qubeley don't bother to have handheld weapons because they're already integrated into the arms
and? qubeley still has the option to hold beam rifles better to have the ability in case instead of nothing.
>making the hands still pointless
thats a shit design choice by the designer not that the hands are pointless.
>>15079580
>>15079708
Not to mention the "hands" are tiny and not standard size. I doubt they could actually hold any standard MS weapons
>>15079708
The feyadeen rifle is strong, but the Byalant mounts genuine mega particle cannons.
>>15079716
It does have a pair of beam sabers as standard equipment.
>>15079742
>Byalant mounts genuine mega particle cannons
and? still not more powerful than the gabthley beam rifle and only a bit stronger than the shoulder guns on the gabthley.
giving the byarlant more weapons wouldn't hurt it any
>>15079754
Mega particle guns have always been stronger than beam rifles, you idiot.
>>15079764
according to the info Byarlants hands are at 4.7 MW in power. Gabthley's beam rifle is at 6.6 MW and its shoulder guns are at 4.2 MW
so yeah its not much better than shoulder but way less than rifle
>>15079764
No, not really. Both technologies are similar, they're different names for different implementations of the same technology.
Beam rifles and mega particle guns fire the same thing - mega particles. Beam rifles are just more efficient because they make use of e-caps that store high-energy, ready to use minovsky particles so only a little bit of electricity is required to complete the firing process. That's why it's a big deal that e-caps enable mobile suits with their comparatively small minovsky reactors to use beam weapons.
Mega particle weapons seem to be directly connected to a minovsky reactor and draw both minovsky particles and electricity from the reactor. They need more electricity to complete the same firing process as a beam rifle but have the benefit of not easily running out of ammunition because they have a constant supply of minovsky particles from the reactor, I would guess.

That's what unit 2 is about. Now it mounts two arm weapons that are each functionally equivalent to a feyadeen rifle, and it still has two larger cannons on the back.
>>15079742
>It does have a pair of beam sabers as standard equipment.
No it doesn't. The arm mounted beam guns project beam blades for melee weapons. I don't think standard beam sabres were intended, given how large the arm mounted weapons are and how awkward it would be to swing.
>>15079791
>No it doesn't.
Yes it does actually. They are stored in the "sleeve" part of its arm just about the red part on the forearm.
>>15079791
>That's what unit 2 is about
and there is nothing wrong with that its just some design choices I dislike about the custom 2 and 3. like it being able to transform is a major one for me.

I always wondered where they were.

more weapons is better than one.

Do you hate the color of speed? Are you a snail?
