Why does no one love the Re-GZ? Out of all Amuro suits it's

I wanted to see it in action in Unicorn, would have been a better cameo than Galluss Maxter making Jegans job.

It's quite literally a budget Zeta
There's nothing interesting because everything about it has been done before by a mech that featured in like seventy episodes worth of material, except instead of transforming it has a stupid space hang glider

I love it OP

>>15205260
Calling this thing "refined" is an insult to the actual Zeta Gundam.
It doesn't even transform, it just falls over forward and puts on a plane-shaped hat.

It's alright, imho it just doesn't look like a main character mech, which it wasn't supposed to be, in the words of Char, its "a second rate mobile suit" not fit to have the final battle with the Sazabi.

It would have been pretty cool if in CCA, Char initially piloted a red Jagd Doga against it, then both Amuro and Char upgraded to Nu Gundam and Sazabi, later on.

>>15205355
The Re-GZ custom fixes that problem

You hate that they made it better?

It sat in a hangar doing nothing, that's pretty bad.

Jesus Christ, there's a reason, OP, that people hate the ReGZ.
It's ugly.
This squid looking motherfucker of a mobile suit is the most aesthetically repugnant UC design, edging out even the Woundwort and Nightingale.

Re-GZ is just one of those suits that is uninteresting in concept but is attractive in design, so nobody really has much to say about it.

It would have had to have left the hangar to blow up, odd that it has a pilot platform but again we never saw it in action.

Oh never noticed that I thought they only ever made one

>>15208045

Hey look now ReGz is far from what I consider a fine looking MS but to put it on the same level of AoZ shit is just too mean man.

Blink and you'll miss it scenes, it doesn't make sense to me for them to make another and not deploy it but I guess its just fanservice.

>>15205369
I didn't mind so much considering the lighting gundam looks almost nothing like the re-gz.

I really liked BF's season 1 design choices in which you could really tell what the base suit was an how it was modified.

>>15208585
Also the realistic approach to the hobby of building the models in the show. Mao building that Kshatriya in only a couple of hours while riding in a truck was impressive. We really didn't need that one kid throwing a kit up in the air and assembling it mid-air before the parts could fall, that shit was dumb.

Why would they rebuild the Re-GZ?

People have come up with the idea that more than one Re-GZ was built, which is a stretch, but maybe a second RGZ was under construction during CCA, and that is what we are seeing in that scene.

But.... why keep a RGZ operational when ReZels were the mass production Zetas that AE finally got right?

Wtf? It's pronounced Re-Gazui???

>>15208626
I don't think cutting nubs, sanding the parts and building a Kshatriya in two hours while in a truck is that realistic. It's just easier to accept because you didn't see the process

Maybe ReZELs aren't operational on Earth, never see any deployed there. I can't really come up with any solid reasoning why they would have it, or why have it and not use it? Maybe its a literal hangar queen.

>>15211180
I think it is a hangar queen. Just another way for the federation to "honor" the great hero Amuro by having his last official suit still on duty waiting for the day he cones back from being MIA

The Re-GZ reminds me of how just how bothered I am by how quickly mobile weapons are invented, mass-produced, replaced and discarded in Gundam. It hasn't even been five years since their introduction in ZZ but by CCA GM IIIs are somehow outdated? Horseshit. Why the hell did they even need the Re-GZ anyway? Why did you give your ace pilot a suit meant for mass-production that wasn't actually mass produced in any capacity? The Zeta and its ten thousand speshul snowflake MSVs still existed. Why didn't you use those? Where do you get off claiming you can't mass-produce a Gundam when you make hundreds of asinine "variants" of any given Gundam? You made a bunch of fucking RX-78 variants, you made a bunch of fucking Zeta variants, and you made a fuckton of variants for any other Gundam type suits I'm not mentioning. If all those stupid variants for a certain MS, like Zeta, were all the same model, you know what that would be called? Mass production. It would probably be cheaper than you think because you're not spending money on R&D for doofy little gimmicks to make your "variant" speshul. Every Zeon movement explicitly has less money and resources than the Feds, but they always manage to mass-produce transforming suits. Imagine how badly they'd shit themselves if you pulled your heads out of your asses and just mass-produced Zeta and some other effective Gundam model as-is with no modifications instead of that pathetic bitch-ass Re-GZ. But no, it takes you over seventy fucking years and an invasion from a feminist theocracy to knock the proper sense into you to actually mass produce a fucking Gundam.

>>15211270
Wow it's like you've just discovered that none of the technology or its progression over time in Gundam makes any sense whatsoever!

>>15211222
Yeah, but the Nu fucked off into a different dimension

>>15205369
The Lightning is more of a Re-GZ + ReZel

>>15211222
I can't see bits or funnels anymore without thinking of that scene in F91 where Seabook twirls his sabers and shreds all the bugs. Has anyone every just done that in early UC? Is that why they don't use bits and funnels anymore in late UC?

>>15211343
They're used in Gaia gear.

>>15211343
Also, a derivative of the v2, the zanspine, need funnels.

>>15211966
>>15211970
Neither of those are canon to UC.

>>15211308
Not even that, all expanded universes are retarded because each individual story wants to be its own special snowflake and forgets about the rest of the "canon". Except in Thunderbolt where the author just told the canon to fuck off and did his own thing.

>>15212059
Well no shit Gundam side stories are literally fan fiction and some are so bad that I believe non published fan-fiction works are even better.

Really makes you think

>>15205260

It looks like a botleg Huckebein.

And the fucking Huckebein is already a bootleg Gundam, even if it has design elements from the Gespenst line.

>>15211270
>It hasn't even been five years since their introduction in ZZ but by CCA GM IIIs are somehow outdated?
They aren't. GM IIIs and Zaku IIs have higher performance than their CCA counterparts, but they are much more expensive to maintain.

>>15205369
How are these even supposed to be the same mobile suit? I don't see a single similarity.

>>15212079
*Zaku IIIs, not Zaku IIs.

I'd imagine that Char would have ran with Doven Wolves if they could be produced without gutting his Alpha Azieru budget.

Personally, my favourite underrated Mobile Suit (and later on a proper fucking Gundam) is the MWS-19051G D fake Gundam, though my favourite version is its ascendance to true Gundam status in the third upgrade.

I adore the fact that the D Gundam is basically just a modern mobile work suit customized to look like RX-78 and later upgraded to be superior to 78.

the funny thing is that they still aren't the ones to mass produce that gundam and were using super outdated MS insteaed (10+ years old)

I'd rather have the Re-GZ blow up and sit in a hangar than be associated with Blue Destiny and Yuu. Re-GZ is blue by default anyway.

>>15211270
Early UC actually corresponds to the real-world history of military aviation remarkably well. The OYW is World War I (the technology itself is brand new and all kinds of wacky experimentation happen; compare how long it took for the Feds to get mass-production MSes and for Zeon to get beam rifles with how long it took WWI fighters to standardize on the fixed forward-firing machine gun) The Zeta through CCA period is World War II (the basics of what works and what doesn't have been worked out and extremely rapid advancement takes place; five-year-old designs being hopelessly obsolete sitting ducks is very much a thing that happened in WW2. Google "Fairey Battle")

>>15205260
I always liked the ReGZ. I like its aesthetic and the fact that it is basically a Zeta GM.

>>15207332
>shh, Re-GZ is sleeping

>>15211270
>Every Zeon movement explicitly has less money and resources than the Feds, but they always manage to mass-produce transforming suits.

Anaheim Electronics is subsidizing every war from the Gryps conflict onwards to make shitloads of money. I might imagine that short-run MS development contracts would be an easy way of laundering money from the Federation, since you could just write off expenses as "R&D" related.

It's kinda funny how the existence of Anaheim Electronics parallels that of Bandai itself; Both create conflicts to sell more mobile suits and model kits.

>>15205260

It's an ugly retread of the Bawoo. It sucks.

>>15215916
I dunno, I always thought the Zeta and ZZ era had more experimentation than the OYW which was fairly tame most of the time.

>The Zeta through CCA period is World War II (the basics of what works and what doesn't have been worked out and extremely rapid advancement takes place; five-year-old designs being hopelessly obsolete sitting ducks is very much a thing that happened in WW2.
Uh, really? The GM III and Geara Doga are kinda old at that point. The GM III is exactly 5 years old and while the Jegan is newer, it's still kinda deficient in some areas and doesn't totally outperform the GM III until Unicorn introduces the higher end variants like the Jegan A2 type. There's quite a bunch of ZZ era mass production suits that outperform the GM III and Geara Doga easily, like the Zaku III and Doven Wolf.

>>15205369
You're mad, build fighters looks like it gave the Re-Gz a makeover, a tummy up and a boob uplift.

The little details like the Gundam chin, lower shins and cockpit hatch being painted dark blue. Unlike the CCA model that had those parts painted red. And the usual shade of blue found on the CCA is alot more blue/green in the Unicorn model.

I'm not saying it has to be related to Yuu, but the little details means it's possible that it was customize painted for a certain pilot because its different than the rollout model.

>>15205369
Is the one from Try even supposed to be the Re-GZ?

>>15219300
Yes. It's drawn by a person who isn't Izubuchi and does not care about original proportions, so naturally it looks different. The Lightning Gundam's model number (LGZ-91) is a play on the Re-GZ's model number (RGZ-91), and its modular backpack is also called the "back weapon system" just like the Re-GZ's back weapon system. No other mobile suit in UC has the "back weapon system", so it's a deliberate reference to the Re-GZ rather than them sharing a common backpack type.

>>15211084
in all likelihood since the Re-GZ was already built, they probably kept it around because no sense in scrapping a decent suit, even if the ReZel does everything it does better

also I wonder how CCA would have gone if Amuro had gotten permission to use the Zeta instead of having to use the Re-GZ

>>15211343
it's more that the Federation completely gave up on the concept of actively utilizing Newtypes in their military after Unicorn for a bunch of different reasons(helped by Newtypes becoming more and more rare over the years)

>>15212079
I highly doubt the GM III has a higher performance than the Jegan, the GM III still shares a lot of it's parts with the original GM after all

>>15211270
something to remember is that the Federation was both economically and culturally crippled by the OYW and truthfully never recovered from it, they were still dealing with it by Victory's time(and the recovery it experienced there must have been temporary if we consider G-Savior canon), that's why they aren't really able to commit to anything ever and are incompetent 99% of the time

>>15219320
>I highly doubt the GM III has a higher performance than the Jegan, the GM III still shares a lot of it's parts with the original GM after all
The parts that have been changed from the GM to the GM III are the ones that affect performance. Otherwise there's no point in changing the parts. I mean, the GM III mainly shares the same frame as the GM, but when you compare the two, the GM III can carry more and different weapons, has a different backpack with a lot more thrust, and it's even said that the GM III's armor incorporates a bit of gundarium. It's got completely different attack/defense/mobility.

At the time that the Jegan came out, it was technically slower than the GM III in straight line acceleration and it had less firepower. However, it was more agile and would have been a better dogfighter. Just compare the specs. Unicorn introduces higher end Jegan variants that can be said to be overall better than the GM III. And don't forget F91's Jegans that have reached the end of their life and have even better specs.

What if Amuro waverider crashed into the Sazabi with the RE-GZ at the start of CCA?
