Why are starting mecha almost always cooler than their upgrades?

Not always but in this case sweet hell yes, I bought a Shining Gundam first because while I don't think the Burning(I LIKE THIS NAME BETTER) is bad, I do think Shining has so much more going on.

It's usually meant to look like "the original, but stronger" so it doesn't have as strong of an identity and loses the thought process that goes into designing something that's meant to headline a series.

You are wrong in every case there.

Exia > 00 > QuanT > 00 Raiser
Dynames > Zabanya > Cherudium
Virtue/Nadleeh > Seravee/Seraphim > Raphael/Pants
Harute = Kyrios > Arios

Wrong because dendrobium is better then gpo1

kill yourself

>>15530529
GP02 is superior to both.
And Gerbera Tetra even more so.

>>15530455
But the God is better than the Shining, you just like opening up gimmick

>not liking the DX
No anon, you should kill yourself.

GP04 Gerbera>Gerbera Tetra

>>15530553
