What are some barely-canon mechs that are far superior to their canon counterparts?
g3 is not superior
>>15267962
Superior mechanically or aesthetically? For the former, G-3 Gundam's big innovation was the magnetic coating, which the RX-78-2 got a bit later.
Aesthetically though, I'm inclined to agree. Also, Destiny Impulse > Destiny, Avalanche Exia > 00.
>>15267998
I mean aesthetically.
>>15267962
Hi-nu
But thats just my opinion
>>15267966
SRW @1 says otherwise.
>>15267962
I still love the V2 though.
>>15268063
i only care about what srw has to say when its btfoing puru-nee shitters by having marida be the imouto
the parade colors rx-78-2 is superior to the im blue da ba de da ba bi alternatively known as the g-3 gundam. If you absolutely had to pick a rx series to be better than the original, it would be the MSV FAG also
>>15268136
>MSV FAG
That thing is pure sex, it's almost cheating.
>>15268136
The FAG is technically worse. It's armor doesn't mean shit to beams, and it's slower (at leas the G-3 has the magnetic coating). The Perfect Gundam is the true option. Also
>Hating the G-3's color subdued color
Just what I would expect from a tripfag.
>>15268153
I don't think anybody has said this with the talk about aesthetics vs canon mechanics
but
the g-3
is
a
recolor
>>15268136
>im blue da ba de da ba bi alternatively known as the g-3 gundam
It's Purple & Grey anon.
I always thought Hi-Streamer was cool as fuck
>>15268017
>Not posting the best Hi-Nu
Best Gelgoog
>>15268162
It's also got magnetic coating, making it slightly better.
>>15269120

FIGHTING VILLAINS FROM AFAR
>>15267962
>Barely canon
Every suit in MSV has Sunrise's approval, and it's been that way since the 1980's. The dubiousness in their canon status is what they did (if anything,) not their existence itself.
>>15268136
>the parade colors rx-78-2 is superior to the im blue da ba de da ba bi alternatively known as the g-3 gundam.
Actually, their performance is exactly the same post solomon, short of the RX-78-2's barely noticeable weight difference thanks to it's core fighters having a modified propulsion system.
>>15269162
Serious question, what the fuck does everyone see in these designs? Everyone says they're so fucking great but all I see are piles of broken glass that look nothing like any kind of UC suit.
>>15270041
Good taste confirmed
>>15270087
>look nothing like any kind of UC suit.
>wtf these experimental prototypes don't look like everything else!!!!!!!!!
>>15268136
The FAG is terrible, its highly unbalanced and slow.
The G3 is just the regular gundam but built with the magnetic coating from the ground up, instead of being a hodgepodge of repairs and modification made in the field.
So its going to be more reliable at least.
>>15269075
Doesn't have the Nu Colour Scheme, thus it is shit.
Nu colour scheme makes ANY design better
>>15270041
This is dumb as fuck, just a bunch of random shit clodged together mindlessly like a suit from the CE.
>>15268162
The G-3 is technically an improvement over the base gundam, because it has all the improvements & tweaks they were making to Amuro's machine built in from the ground up.
>>15273432
>>15273402
Even experimental prototypes have obvious inspirations in their design. Tech doesn't come from nowhere.
>>15273432
>>15273619
>>15268116
Second V is amazing.
This design actually beat the everloving shit out of the rival gundam prototype design of the era in tests, but the bigwigs went with the gundam because it was cheaper.
>>15276083
What the hell is the High-Impact Gun?
>>15276095
Its a gun, with a high level of impact
>>15276083
Which series was this from?
>>15279895
None.
>>15279903
Which Gundam was it a competitor with?
>>15279926
F90 IIRC
>>15276083
Ah, the ATMOS. Love that thing so much.
>>15279926
If I recall correctly, the F90. It beat it too, just cost way too much.
>>15279926
It supposedly slaughtered the F90 in a mock fight, but it was rejected for high cost.
>>15267962
these beauties
>>15273432
mah nigga

>>15273640
>>15273638
They all just look like modernized Zeta suits you fucking nerd
>>15279938
>hey boss don't you think it looks a bit like a bad guy? almost like we're designing something that will be stolen by the villains of a side story?
>shut up john
>>15276083
>because it was cheaper
Also they didn't want to be sued by Kawamori over the design being a clear ripoff of the DYRL Nousjadeul-Ger.
>>15267962
Gerbera Tetra Kai baby so sleek so sexy
>>15280316
the roll-out ver. is cool too
>>15268414
007s would be great aside from those two swords on its knees.
>>15276095
Maybe instead of firing a normal mega-particle beam it just shoots... pure force, like really hard, and as well as being hard hitting its also unaffected by I-Fields.
This one was way better then like all the other units because s2 organs
>>15280303
This?
Not especially seeing it anon, the similarities between the two designs are pretty shallow.
>>15283653
Well no, it failed and destroyed the entire facility when its S2 organ kerploded.
>>15283653
>>15283656
he may be think of the Macross II version
>>15283653
is there any render or lineart for this guy. it's cool as fuck
>>15276095
>The MSA-120 ATMOS is a result from Anaheim Electronics's Silhouette Formula Project. Boasting high performance, the armor of ATMOS is protected with anti-beam coating. Its most notable feature is Mega Boost E-CAP, a set of special E-CAP which doubles its performance when used.
>The "High Impact Gun" uses Minovsky Craft Technology to somehow create a pseudo-gravetic effect, though it is not specified what exactly this achieves.
>>15279932
>>15279935
>>15279938
Yup.
>>15280378
Actually seeing the pseudo-Gundam face on it is kind of weird.
>>15283674
I can see some features of the Atmos in that design yeah. Out of curiosity what kind of attack does the chest gun fire on that Zentradi suit?
>>15269120
>These are no zakus pal, NO ZAKUS
Honestly if there was a fan srw featuring western-series I'd like to see units from MEGAS XLR, like all the aliens of course but also the human combat mechs and their drone-robot backup seen in the first episode, and finally Choop and his Neo-Jersey army too.
Much better than the Reborns, without the shoehorned cannon transformation gimmick.
>>15283681
You can see the gundam eyes, its monoeye is just the mane camera
>>15283698
Going by the macross games, it's a shell firing cannon.
>>15284181
I thought this was a mech-tan from the thumbnail.
This would have been really cool, never been a fan of the original color scheme of the rx 78, but i love the rx 93's
>>15284723
I like it, almost looks like the night fight scene Gundam NT1.
>>15283653
>>15284831
>>15284831
>>15284837
That isn't the same Eva unit, just concept art for Eva 01.
The silver one is Eva Unit-04. It was an experiment to implant an S2 Organ, Unfortunately, there was an accident involving it which caused Unit-04, the facility it was in, and everything within an over 80-kilometer diameter to be consumed by a Dirac Sea
>>15283669
>>15284948
i know
i posted it just because they looked similar
>>15283674
It's worth noting that Fujita was also one of the main designers for Macross II as well.
>A weapon to surpass ZZ
Gundam Sentinel got some cool stuff.
>>15269218
YOU GOTTA FIND FIRST GEAR
>>15283890
What would be in a western SRW? I can see Battletech and Megas, but who else? Titanfall bots and 40k?
>>15287548
Sym-Bionic Titan
Big Guy & Rusty
Pacific Rim
That new western Voltron cartoon (Apparently its pretty good?)
Maybe throw the Transformers in as well, they are about as much West as East
>>15287007
>>15287010
Not the siegfried ZZ Gundam, I mean just look how meaty it is
>>15273432
The proto-gundam colours aren't bad either. Honestly the 'parade ground' colour scheme is the worst of the bunch by far, was so retarded when they painted the 0 Gundam in them for no in-universe reason.
>>15287546
Looks like Anubis got swallowed by Nephtis.
>>15287760
That's not the Mega Zeta?
>>15276095
According to the wiki the gun it carries in its hands is simply a Hyper Mega Launcher, while its High Impact Gun is built into the body.
Since this >>15283681 describes the weapon as using minovsky craft tech to cause a gravity effect, makes me think it can destroy things just by throwing destructive gravity waves at things? Not seeing any gun barrels or emitters.
Since it had that along with a performance boosting 'super mode' no wonder it beat the shit out of a basic gundam, would love to see it's capabilities demonstrated in an actual animation or video game.
>>15287760
It is also fucking tall, as tall or taller than the Psyco Gundams
>>15283942
Nigga that Gundam got sleeves
>>15287910
But that's black and red, that's so edgy you edgelord edgefag etc.
>>15288419
Its tall and heavy enough that the dumb thing can barely walk, it has absolutely no advantage over the standard ZZ rather than being a big dumb target.
>>15279912
I'm fine with armoring up the Raphael but here it doesn't even look like the armor is attached.
>>15283661
Wasn't that due to sabotage?
>>15288437
The reason stops mattering once there's an 80-kilometer hole in the earth.
>>15267962

I love the regular alex, but it looks way better with the Amuro Color scheme
>>15288483
Is that so? Then what about this.
>>15276083
Did they base the Vagan grunt designs on this one?
I'm surprised this didn't come up sooner.

WHERE?!?!
>>15284831
>>15284837
>>15285472
The other two concept designs for Eva-01 were much better.
>>15290949
I also have this shit but I can't find it anywhere.
>>15290956
>That fucking face
Yeah, that's a distraction alright.
>>15279912
The biggest problem I have with this design is that there is no way for seravee to detach and transform because of the leg armor.
>>15290949
Just the colors and new helm design make it look way more heroic already.
Or maybe it's the pose.
>>15291401
So that's where they got Burning Gundam from
>>15290956
Is that art by Hiroyuki Utatane?
>>15291445
To be fair evas aren't exactly meant to be heroic in your usual giant robot sense?
>>15276083
>>15291954
Yeah, I suppose so. Just that concept art alone is enough to give a vision of a weekend-morning Eva where Shinji and friends call in gentle giant Eva-01 to fight the weekly space-time anomaly made manifest.
>>15292712
Chink Guncannon looks like he'd be a melee beast, while dick-gun transforming Guntank makes his line proud!
>>15294677
>Yeah, I suppose so. Just that concept art alone is enough to give a vision of a weekend-morning Eva where Shinji and friends call in gentle giant Eva-01 to fight the weekly space-time anomaly made manifest.
Look up Petit-Eva then.

>>15297850
>What is this transforming guntank from?
Mobile Suit Gundam U.C. 0096: Last Sun, some Manga where some ceremonial suits are created that homage the original Project V...
The RIX-00PT GF-Tank is actually a heavly modified D50C-Loto, but it was both forced into the roll of Guntank AND G-Fighter...
>All the discussion of the FAG and G3 early in the thread.
>No mention of Heavy Gundam which fixed all the flaws of the FAG.
>>15298279
They Heavy Gundam is pretty fucking sick bro, but it doesn't look good with a McDonalds colour scheme.
>>15298288
Particularly like its 'Frame Launcher' weapon. Being both a rocket launcher AND a gatling gun in one neat package.
>>15298217
It's also a backpack
>>15288483
I've got one more then if you happen to be so enamored with that colour scheme.
>>15287010
I love the FAZZ, I only wish it had a close range weapon like a beam saber or something, it's the only thing that keeps me from using it as a main unit on g gen
ZZ Mass Production type. Because nothing says screw you like giving a beefy GM a high mega cannon.
>tfw only 4 made :(
>>15298279
Heavy is unlockable in GBO, I never got to play it, though.
>>15299943
There was only so much mass available for production.
>>15287010
>tfw your fellow engineer at Anaheim begs you to stop and you go even further just to spite him
>>15287010
>>15267962
Why do so few mobile suits have this color scheme? It looks so damn nice
>>15300040
It's in the Geneva Conventions equivalent that you can't take MS that sexy into battle.
>>15299943
Why don't they just give all their grunts high-mega cannons, not bothering with all the other chaff like a million different weapons or transformation
>>15287010

>>15300783
Because the point is to sell toys.
>>15300800
Core Fighters and transforming are negative qualities
Hell even the original ZZ suffered because of it, having a weak frame. And the way they got around it was by armouring the whole thing up to the point it couldn't detach its parts anymore.
Don't even try to claim the piece of shit AquaGM can compete with these badass motherfuckers
>>15301222
>Don't even try to claim the piece of shit AquaGM can compete with these badass motherfuckers
I won't, but the Aqua GM isn't THAT bad, is it?
>>15300783
High mega cannon causes an enormous drain on a MS's power source. Even the ZZ would stall after firing it and iirc it had multiple reactors.
That said I think the zz mp had a regular beam cannon in its head.
>>15301384
it always jobbed hard in everything, game cutscenes, novels, gunpla descriptions, mangas.
unicorn didn't exaggerates it
>>15301466
>it always jobbed hard in everything, game cutscenes, novels, gunpla descriptions, mangas.
>unicorn didn't exaggerates it
Well yeah, but that comes with being a Grunt Suit...
It's actually a pretty good cheap unit in Mobile Suit Gundam Online though, with multi-shot exploding Harpoons, a missile launcher, and the standard machine gun.
>>15301466
To be fair in Unicorn they were OYW experiments going up against modern aquatic suits.
>>15301988
Aqua GM was outclassed in fucking 0079.
>>15302075
Both the Aqua GM and the Zaku Marine Type were terrible, yeah. Sealing up the joints and giving the suit explosive harpoons or torpedoes does not an amphibious mech make.
Something related but the Underwater Gundam was actually pretty awesome, unfortunately it only got to be seen fighting during Unicorn by which time it was obsolete
>>15290126
I don't believe you.
Post proof.

Full Frontal is shit though, but you might be able to say the same of everything about the plot of Unicorn.
>>15300800
It made me realize that they are literally Metal Gears of the franchise, they are absolutely flawed without support.
The original REX got fucked by one (admittedly fucking good) soldier with Stingers because of the radar dish being a flaw, but doesn't change the fact that it could nuke anything anywhere.
>>15304355
And yet it still killed the Cyborg Ninja
And later despite sitting half-destroyed in a frozen based for countless years it managed to destroy an Anti-Rex Metal Gear
Is the Side Story series considered canon? Because Pale Rider is the sexiest UC suit.
>>15304368
The RAY is shit. It's literal cannon fodder every time it appears.

>>15308514
I'm sad that that whenever you 'save' Minerva in SRW she just becomes another mazinger with a cockpit for one of the other characters to pilot.
She should be a unit with her AI as the pilot.
Though,,, you could even give her that form from the AU story version of the Minerva as a rebuilt-upgrade towards the end of the game.
>>15289192
beam cannards?
>>15273432
>>15311738
Significantly less obnoxious than the OG SF.
>>15304355
note: Metal Gear Rex got destroyed because Otacon designed it that way. The radome was exposed outside as a character flaw, as Otacon puts it.
Also, abadoned for many years, with just a simple software and firmware update, it wrecked the shit out of Metal Gear Ray.
>>15311738
It would look better without so much of that soft gold colouring

>>15314202
It's hardly "barely canon" when it has a starring role in the animated OVA/movie.
