Anyone else think Gelgoogs look really dumb?
>>15193754
Depends on the artist, mainly. Sometimes they look like pig-faced trash cans, sometimes they look elite lightning-warriors. It's all down to proportions and style.
honestly, most gundam mobile suits look a bit silly, but I appreciate real robots having some style aside from function, because military vehicles in real life also have aesthetics that don't serve a purpose
also, like stuff like the image you posted, were old designs are given tons of detail on kits or lineart
>>15193754
the one you posted has its shoulder armor mounted stupidly high for some reason
>>15193754
I like most Zeonic MS. On the Gelgoog, I like the general heavier features and I love the how the pauldrons come to an upward point. Also the oval shields are my favorite.
>>15193769
It was the best image of a gelgoog I could find and I still don't like it at all
>>15193754
It's the weird "crest" on the back of the head. The Gelgoog would look a lot better without it. Of course then it would just be a more angular Zaku.
Also the pointed shoulders look goofy.
>>15193873
If they curved they'd look more goufy.
>pig snout
Izubuchi designs the best Gelgoogs, maybe I'm just contrarian like that but the Gelgoog line is my favorite Zeon series of MS.
No
I'm a sucker for the Marine and Jager.
>>15193887
Izubuchi really does, he uses the proportions from Nagano's Galbaldy Beta.
Bonus
>>15193928
Isn't Izubuchi the guy who complained about modern Gundam designs lacking ingenuity in an interview way back in the day? I find that hilariously ironic given how much his CCA/0080 designs are derived from Zeta.
I never got the hate honestly. They're my favorite Zeon grunt, everything that makes the Zakus good but with a more aggressive look all around, even the monoeye.
>>15193754
I like the Gelgoog, but double bladed beam sabers will never be anything but stupid.
>>15193873
The pointy shoulders and crest are what makes it though anon.
>>15193887
That looks straight out of SEED though, its a terrible aesthetic
Regardless of how you think it looks, can we all agree that Gelgoog is the best name out of any MS?
>>15193754
Normal gelgoogs look retarded, the only good part of the design is the shield.
Gelgoog jäger is a fantastic design.
>>15194084
Nah man, that would be a toss up between the GAPLANT or the Ga-ZOWWWWWWMN, both of which are stupidly fun to pronounce.
>>15194084
BAWOOOOO is the best
>>15194097
Why do Zeon MS almost universally look better with their head crests and pointy bits removed?
>>15194110
Commander antennas make everything look better.
>>15194097
>>15194110
This is inhumane.
>>15194110
>>15194097
I bet you dock your dogs too.
>>15193754
Although I like OYW a lot of the designs look kinda dated and dumb.
Gelgoog looks like Godzilla wearing a diaper.
>>15194079
I don't see it, the lines and shapes don't look anything like a late Okawara design and it doesn't have a large backpack.
>>15194926
>Pig head bird crest
>Beef shoulders
>Dom bellbottoms
Honestly the worst part of Gelgoogs are the fucking big boy pants, JUST LOOK AT THEM
>>15194939
It's always so cool seing mobile suits land or take off. Gives the sense of heaviness and technology the battles really don't.
>>15193754
the jager looks alight
>>15196145
Why they made it's Beam Rifle and the Gelgoog Marine Commander's a MG 42 I don't know maybe more Nazi references.
>>15196184
Because Yutaka Izubuchi likes WWII history and Nazi aesthetics, he even designed the panzer cops in the Kerberos Saga.
Also MG 42s just look really fucking cool, they have by far one of the most iconic and visually interesting shape of any gun.
>>15193754
>Anyone else think Gelgoogs look really dumb?
Depends on how the Goog is interpreted. I have this Gundam Standart figure of Gato's Gelgoog and I fucking love how bulky they made it, I think it looks awesome.
>>15193754
Gelgoog Jagers and customs are fine, it's more the default Goog having shit proportions and colors.
>>15194293
>died to gms
>>15200976
I mean, they both have beam weaponry.
I don't have the pictures on this PC but did they ever figure out how the cockpit is supposed to open?
>>15200916
Looks ridiculous in the good kind of way.
The way that gelgoogs are drawn in Return of Johnny Ridden makes them look pretty damn cool.
>>15201165
Side swinging hatch.
>>15201249
as cool as they get, they still look like fat pigs in diapers. Doms still manage to look cool despite being big fat mobile suits
>>15201249
Ridden is the reason its impossible to find a High Mobility Type in standard colors.
>>15194339
The dated part is not true, though the dumb part has always been very true.
