Which Gundam got shafted the most?

>>15260988
Probably that one. I can't think of any others that felt as disappointing.

Blu Duel Gundam got wrecked by mooks.

Vidar is a damm sexy design but got cucked by Kimaris.

Flauros got a wacky paint job and achieved almost nothing before getting destroyed.

Guison never gets any screentime, let alone good animation.

...now tha I think about it, almost every Gundam except Barbatos gets somehow fucked in IBO.

>>15260988
Didn't Wing spend most of its time disabled in some way or another?

Flauros.
Irrelevant and sacrificed. Cool design too.
>>15261033
Yup.
Plus Lupus Rex is ugly as hell.

In her defense those were freaky as fuck

kys shit taste

>>15261040
Like 90% of the show yeah, it just constantly gets destroyed. Hell Heero uses the Heavyarms to have his duel with Zechs, Wing was eternally cucked

>>15261033
>>15261063

Blu Duel shares the same distinction with the Chaos.

The former's first in the series to get mook'd (by chronological timeline), and the latter follows suit shortly after.

>>15261120
>stupid beast design and feet
>banana claws
Fuck off, they had it fine with form 4 and Lupus.

>>15261132
thats what makes it cool. Just because it looks banana or beastly for you, it makes it shit retard. GTFO shit taste

Victory but not really in regards to plot but rather in design.

>take a mobile suit that has a cool sleek simplistic design
>slap a ton of shit on it making it a massive clusterfuck as an upgrade

It's a miracle that thing could even launch by the end of Victory.

These. What the fuck sunrise. They're perfectly good designs. Let them do something if you want to sell more toys.

>>15260988
Does this thing not have an Master Grade?

The other Age both had MG kits. What the fuck Bandai.

Spent most of the show getting its shit slapped in and never accomplishes anything that arrants the title of "most powerful gundam"

>>15263457
>We designed it wrong as a joke

>>15263469

They cancelled it when they gave up on Age and just tried to brush the whole thing under the rug.

>>15263494
I haven't wanted Age but it's so nice and colorful and meaty so I wanted to get it but I always fuck anything that's not an MG up. What a shame.

>>15261040
>>15261032

Age-3 Orbital lost both fights it was in. Nothing else can really compare.

Wing at least won a few fights against grunts and damaged Tallgeese, and Destiny did well against the Destroy's and Earth Mobile armors whenever Jesus wasn't around.

Age-3 Orbital got nothing.

I think this is the first time I've ever seen someone here aside from me who likes the vanilla V2 over the backpackfest one.

You have fine taste, my friend.

>>15263522
V2A's my favourite. Buster parts are fine for an artillery piece, but a bit much for a main mech, and the regular V2 seems like it's missing something.

The assault version also reminds me of those elaborate fantasy armours off Berserk or somesuch, which is fun.

>>15263470

Putting aside that the title of "most powerful Gundam" isn't something that's in the show and only really an invention of Gunpla manuals and games, it actually did several fairly impressive things in the final 6 or so episodes. More importantly though, it only lost maybe twice in the show, and didn't really struggle much more than that. It spent the majority of the show slapping other units around, not being slapped around.

>>15261033
>Vidar is a damm sexy design but got cucked by Kimaris.

Why do people keep mentioning this?

Vidar was just cover for Kimaris in the first place and nothing more, how can it get cucked when it served its purpose and literally is the same machine

The only one on their that really got shit on is Flauros and Blu Duel

>>15261234
>that what makes it cool
They fucked it up shitter. If the designer realised what he was doing they could've pulled it off.
Instead it's an inferior model that only brought back mace.

Saviour Gundam.
That is all.

>>15263359
I like the idea of the Full Armor V2.
It was basically the idea of "this shit is getting too out of hand, guys just take whatever we're developing right now and slap it on this guy"

>>15261033
The reason they trashed Flauros is because it is bad in sales so they put another "Amida is awesome and dramatic now buy her kit" move in this one.

F91

>>15263440
Atleast vidar didnt get wrecked

>>15264994
With the way the rest of the releases have been, I'm honestly shocked that Amida's Hyakuren wasn't a P-Bandai in the first place.

>>15263808
When the "cover" looks better than the final product, you have a problem.

>>15264994
That's not how it works.
The show is animated months before airing, so it would be impossible for them to change it in response to viewer habits, unless the change went to a different season.

>>15263808
Exiled masked prince reveals his royal identity.

>>15264872
Zeta 91 never had a chance, being in that show.

>>15263469
They showed off rapid-prototypes of a MG Age-3 and FX to gauge interest at a gunpla expo but decided it would be too much of a risk to make them. They weren't cancelled so much as they never even made it past the very early planning stages.

>>15266370
Shame. FX is pretty cool.

>>15263469
Isn't the MG line near dead now anyway?

>>15260988
Tequila Gundam both in the show and as a toy, never even got a toy made while they made a bunch of other stupid toys like the windmill gundam were mass produced.

>>15267283
Who wants some random 16 meter tall wetback when you can have a fucking robot windmill?

>>15265174
>>15264994

no that's clearly not what's happening. clearly it's Sunrise doing whatever the fuck they want and Bandai not being told anything.

>>15267465
Who wants half the shit from g gundam? No one but it would be cool to be able to get a complete set.

Unless you're Rooster Teeth that's usually how it works. The whole thing might not be done but usually at least 5 or 6 episodes are in the can before the show even starts and they don't rewrite stuff on the fly thanks to feedback.

>>15263374
And even then he's still better than that shit artist Okawara

>>15268295
What is Gundam SEED Destiny then

>>15268387
a poorly made shitshow with bad pacing

>>15268387
A show with serious production issues.

>>15268387

Destiny had a good 10 or so episode buffer. It's only Morosawa's incompetence pissing that away that caused them to run dangerously behind in the final stretch. And that's an very unusual case that Sunrise has cut most of it's major shows into two 25 episode parts to avoid happening again.

Until then it was all deliberate story choices and Fukuda halfassing his work.

Idiots that insist stuff like them killing Kira off then suddenly altering their choice and reanimating and redoing the entire episode in the week between 34 and 35 are fucking morons because that is literally impossible.
