BAEL!
>>15588004
Iron Menstruation is shit though
overhype incarnate
Agnika killed the most MAs BARE HANDED
GIVE US CALAMITY WAR!!!!
McGillis Montag was just cosplaying.
>>15588034
foolish fool BAEL is King
>>15588024
The series definitely had more than its share of faults but for the most part MS design was not one of them, and Bael is a damn fine lookin MS
>>15588676
Bael was nice. Barbatos was pretty fucking ugly though. Gusion got ugly with the full city too.
>>15588689
Lupus & Lupus Rex were ugly. Barbatos before those model changes look like a normal Gundam.
>>15588004
>all that speculation about what his gimmick was
>it's fucking nothing
>>15588712
>no gimmicks needed
>>15588733
Because it doesn't need anything extra to win, just strength and a hurt butt. It's the purest gundam.
>>15588741
exactly!
>"It can swing the sword. That's all it needs to do."
>>15588004
I feel like Bael was designed to draw as much aggro as possible just by its looks alone. Agnika probably kept it barehanded just to taunt giant metal birds.
>>15588004
>unbreakable swords
>breaks
>>15588004
BARBATOS!
>>15588004
I think you are missing a "MUH" there.
>>15588004
>>15589497
Macky's dedication to Bael is pretty admirable, and what every /m/an and autist should strive for.
>>15589503
if I got my very own BAEL I know I'd match my clothes with its paint scheme
>>15589503
Except he was no Mika, he didn't tell Bael to give him everything it's got.
>>15589561
Kind of crazy how mcgillis managed to go against av unlocked gali without taking off the av limiters himself.
Guess McGillis was a pretty good pilot.
BAEL BEST BOY
>>15588712
I know, I was really hoping for some asspull power that would justify all that great plan to get just one MS; my favorite being that BAEL could control a mobil armor and have it as a sister unit or something similar, but NOPE, it was fucking nothing.
>>15589649
What makes you think he didn't take the limits off? Or that there were limits to begin with on the Bael?
>>15591208
It made me want to see baels OG pilot solo MAs in the calamity war.
>>15588712
>NO
>FUCKING
>FUNNELS
Apparently some people on this board worship this MS, but for me...
>>15589314
This is the first and last thing I think of when Bael comes up.
we will never see gaelio troll mcgillis with this
>>15588004
Such a sweet design ruined by not having any additional gimmick.
>>15592372
didn't we have a thread about the tallgeese being awesome by not having any gimmicks?
same principle (they're even the first in their line of respective MS)
>>15592385
Because it's IBO you have to criticize it for things you'd praise other shows for.
>>15592385
Fair point actually. But i think it's also fair to consider this the main antagonist MS of IBO in the end and that's just sort of pathetic when even The-O and Epyon come off better looking in comparison?
>>15592440
sad really.
>>15592698
but that doesn't make even make sense. the-o and the epyon in terms of timeline was built near the end of their respective series.
the bael was built before the show even began.
heck even their respective special systems, Bael's AV is a common (lots of suits use it) system compared to the bio-sensor and zero system.
>>15592385
>comparing a late introduction suit to one shown in the first fucking episode
Not making a good point for yourself
>>15592440
Nobody gives two shits that the Tallgease doesn't have a gimmick, people like the fact that it was a cool looking suit that had cool moments to show itself off, Bael is just an overall disappointment because IBO is all about setting up something potential cool to wind up as a big disappointment.
>Wow look at this cool looking awesome suit that's been showcased for half of the season now
>Lets dumb it for an inferior model without it actually doing anything
>Oh man here's the suit that they've been hyping up for the longest time there must be a reason why given how much he talks about
>....it does nothing
>>15592801
BALL!
>>15592834
like this?
>>15592904
0 Gundam was revealed in the first episode of 00
>>15592904
No? 0 Gundam was already showned off in the first episode was was seen as nothing more than an early prototype. The Reborns Gundam was Ribbon's gambit and it decimated the 00 Raiser he just needed the 0 Gundam to escape at the last minute also because it was just fucking fanservice.
>>15592918
yes but for all intents and purposes it's exactly like the bael. first in line, no significant upgrades vs a later gen model with new upgrades. probably only setsuna would give a crap about it though.
>>15592836
it's not that complex.
>>15592939
>yes but for all intents and purposes it's exactly like the bael
Well no because the 0 Gundam was just pure fanservice much like Tohru Furya being the narrator for 00 under a different name in the first season. It was never hyped up to being anything more than a early prototype that was vastly inferior.
>>15592939
The 0 Gundam from the first episode isn't the same 0 Gundam used in the final battle anyways
>>15591226
if somehow Bael can have the "visceral" aspect of Barbatos fighting when fighting, maybe cutting small parts of the MA multiple times to the point of finishing it as a badly chopped piece of metal, I would love to see that
>>15593053
Bael simply succeeded in killing men who didn't fight back whilst McGillis barked out delusion after delusion.
bael more like job-kun
Bael deserves calamity wars animations done by decent animators.
