What would you equip your soldiers with?

Small and lightweight, capable of working in near any environment, capable of sustained flight and a large array of weapons coupled with a beam shield.

GOUF Ignited. I'm actually not sure if we ever see a mook flying around in one, but a production type piloted by Alex Dino gets shredded pretty hard by Shinn in the Destiny, and I assume the guy who was assigned to it was pretty salty that someone stole his mobile suit and it had to be shot down.

Not that it has the best track record against aliens, but it's hard to find a sexier and more flexible grunt.

I'll have to go with the GN-XIV too. Sexy as hell, reasonably powerful, variable loadout, and can be equipped with a core fighter for extra pilot survivability.

Disregard robots.

Acquire thunderwells.

Crazy overtechnology, assoads of missiles, main gun is a gatling coil gun, energy shields, extra armor and heavy weapons option parts, recon and heavy bomber variants, fold drive addons, and EX Gear upgrades down the road, AND is just a mass produced grunt.

Everyone else in this thread is objectively wrong compared to this nigga.

And to top it all off, compared to the stuff the core planets in the setting have for mass production it's actually an outdated piece of shit given to backwater colonies and expeditionary forces, so this OP motherfucker fits the OP's criteria perfectly.

And did I forget to mention these things can be armed with nukes and dimension eater weapons?

What's a dimension eater? It's a bomb that basically creates spheres of destruction similar to black holes. It comes in two varieties, massive bombs that can destroy entire fleets and take chunks out of planets, and normal size bullets and missiles that do the same thing on a micro level. Fucking black hole bullets.

Those aliens are proper fucked.

The Thrones Raphael model Fafner.

Its mass produced, is flight capable, customizable with many different loadout options. Piloting is a cinch since the mech links up to your nervous system allowing you to control it like your own body. Give these to your air force, army, navy, whatever. It can be modded to handle all terrains. And if all else fails, its got a handy self-destruct mechanism to take out your foe.

I don't care how high tech those aliens are, they can't armor a ship to survive this thing's cannon.

Also geara dogas

>>15090912
There's something about the Raphael's wings that's always put me off. Which is odd, because I'm usually rather fond of wings like that. The oversized claw arm unbalances the design a bit too much for my taste, too.

While I love the base Thrones frame, I prefer the Sandalphon and the Dominions models over the Raphael.

That thing doesn't meet criteria #2 and #3

For me, it would have to be the "mass-produced" or "common" Guardians from Giant Gorg. Fully pilotable, equipped with a single catch-all weapon, about as invincible as Gorg itself, and, if need be, able to be remotely controlled that's how they show up in the anime anyway. I have no proper pictures of the common Guardians and can't take screenshots right now so instead you get this image of an unarmed garage kit of one.

These things were invincible against damn near everything human beings threw at them and are at least as tough as Gorg itself in most respects. Their one weakness requires precision to strike and when exploited by human combatants against it they managed to kill only one before being overrun anyway- not that a lot of the Guardians didn't die first

If it weren't these things, it'd be something from the RGM family- good performance, reliability, and adequate weaponry at a decent price.

Good taste. However, I'd be inclined to think these break the second rule, that is, having unnamed pilots.

>>15090999
Did the xamel's pilots ever get named?
I just remember it helping the named characters then getting destroyed.

because they were on the losing side.

>>15090627
This.

I mean it's absurdly cheap to build in it's universe it seems since there's a shit ton of them (Granted it on a galaxy wide scale they have to build for) it can be adapted for anything from heavy equipment loads to fucking gladiator combat, also it looks neat.

>>15092776
It's not that perfect though, they have one big flaw. The fluid that makes them run (that deteriorates over time and needs to be filtered or replaced) will catch fire or explode when exposed to shock and high heat, things you will find plenty on a battlefield.
