So, the RX-123 Woundwort. The forbidden apple of Advance of Zeta; beautiful but always out of reach. HG Never. Let's talk Woundwort.
First up, whoa. The first impression is: this is not your grandad's RX-78. It's not red, white and blue, and it doesn't look like a bunch of cardboard boxes. But it is, still, a Gundam. Those eyes and horns give it away. If you look closely it even has the V at the waist. But enough about how it's the same, let's talk about how it's different.
Woundwort looks like it's from the future. It's the most 00 you've ever seen in UC - a sleek silhouette and loads of vents, with prominent curved panels. It's also almost entirely white, which contributes to the perception that she's from an advanced product design team. iGundam, you might say. So white, it almost verges on angelic, but without the ridiculous wings of the Wing Zero Custom. And there's enough contrasting dark colours that it doesn't look blinding, or like a lazy paintjob. Definitely a prototype from a science fiction, and not a toy for kids.
Now, looking closer, her proportions and form are very weird. Huge, enormous legs. Loads of thrusters. Tiny arms and chest. Massive, colossal weapon. And where are the feet?! There's no mistaking it, Woundwort is a space superiority mobile suit. Some people say Gundam fights on the ground, but for me all the important action is in space, so this specialised machine is perfect for me. The small frame means it's hard to hit, and the thrusters and legs work towards immense zero-g maneuverability. Designed for an iconic battlefield that can only be done in scifi like Gundam, this is not a tank, it's a fighter jet - so light and fast you'll never hit it.

And oh goodness me, that weapon. I wish all mobile suits had weapons on this scale. It's so straight but so industrial that it's halfway between a wizard's staff and a sniper rifle you'd aim at a battleship. It's almost like the stinger on a wasp, and the rounded thoracic thruster pod on the back, as well as the enlarged head just add to this feel. Except scale the weapon up so it's Monster Hunter-tier: Woundwort doesn't just look fast, it also looks immensely deadly.
Speaking of deadly, have you seen this thing's other forms? What we're looking at is the basic, unadorned Strike, before you equip it with its Striker Packs. Except instead of Striker Packs, Woundwort looks like it equips whole other MS or MAs. It's visually a bit like Lagann from TTGL - a tiny core controlling another machine. Some of my highlights include looking like Strike Freedom, sitting inside a Gaplant, and, oh yeah, the time WW got eaten by the Psyco Gundam.
So, let's go back to the comparison. Gundams are usually boxy tanks with legs; shipping containers come to life. At best you might get a pointier look, like Zeta or Unicorn. But Woundwort is what you get when you mix an angel, a fighter jet, a wasp, and an iPad. Yet it's still a Gundam. And since it's never been animated (shh GBFT was trash it doesn't count) or made into a kit, there's another layer of allure because Woundwort is always out of reach.
That is what I think when I look at Woundwort.

Woundwort is perhaps the worst design in UC Gundam, narrowly edging out the Nightingale and the Re-GZ.
