What is the best looking Gundam and why is it the RX-78-2?
Look, I made it better. By about three times.
MG never...
>>15675259
By throwing red paint all over it? I don't think so, bud.
>>15675259
Char, go back to your coffin. You're supposed to be dead.
For me it's the Zeta Gundam
>>15675253
Why all Gundams look the same?
>>15675275
Not all look the same
>>15675275
Most are trying to emulate the greatness that is the RX-78-2
>>15675268
why are so many great suits doomed to NEVEREVER status?
>>15675274
AGREED, Zeta Gundam is the best.

Worst looking Gundam used to be Walter, but now it's Atlas.
>>15675631
I hated the design of Zeta until I actually watched the show. Now I love it
>>15675574
that shitty over-priced toy raped Okawara's beautiful original 1991 design.
I prefer the Mkii

>>15675253
Original is great but Nu and Exia will always hold a special spot in my heart.
>>15675274
I think its overrated. Still great but a bit inflated overall.
>>15675734
Not a bad choice
>>15675666
Uh, that Metal Build is designed by Okawara himself. I trust his judgement more than a random anon in /m/.
>>15675253
Either the Turn A or the Unicorn.
Why is it the Zeta Gundam?
Zeta, Turn A, Unicorn, G-Self, Honorable mention to Nu
Damnit, I like almost all Gundams
>>15675631
Why do so many people dislike the Atlas? It looks pretty awesome, and the big arm things kind of add to it's unique design.
The only thing I dislike about it is the shield, but I don't think that's enough to call it the worst gundam ever. Especially when Nero Gundam exists.
For me, it's the ASW-G-08 Gundam Barbatos Lupus Rex
the original is the best
mk ii is the logical progression
victory gets a special mention
the rest aren't nearly as good
>>15676061
I hate how rounded everything is on the victory
it looks like an inflatable decoy gundam

>>15676019
>Why do so many people dislike the Atlas?
Because it looks like shit and is designed like a poorly armored bendy straw? It completely fails to fit into the fossil record of OYW design elements? It has the most toyetic gimmick since the G-Armor? The designer didn't know that the RB-79 is four times that size?

Fine. Here's one straight off of Amazon. Now cry that it's 1/100 and not 1/144. Or that it's a gunpla and not an animation cel. Because we both know you can't actually produce a picture of the Turn A looking better than Legend.
>>15676392
Say whatever you want about Turn A's top half, but she has the best legs in the game.
>>15676453
>knows he has no actual argument against aesthetically superior design
>nit picks about me nit-picking a detail about the picture.
Fine. Here's one straight off of Google. Now cry that it's only his upper half and not a full body shot. Or that I got it from google and didn't take a screenshot from the show myself. Because we both know you can't actually produce a picture of the Legend looking better than Turn A.
>>15676469
>cry
lol I'm laughing, because I'm starting to think you might actually be serious about thinking that silly thing looks cool.
>>15676475
Nigger if you don't find Turn A's design amazing, yet find another RX-78-2 with bits tacked on compelling in the slightest, you're gay.
>>15676475
> that silly thing
You mean the Legend Gundam? Yeah, I agree, it makes me laugh just thinking that someone actually likes it
>>15676484
Oh look, casual racism and homophobia in place of an actual argument. How surprisingly original.
Turn A looks ridiculous and you probably only like it because it was designed by a white westerner.
Reminder that Zeta is also the spookiest Gundam.
>>15676412
You're right. I just looked at the gold.
>>15676417
It's not even the original bling bling. It's the bootleg from SEED.
>>15676459
No fuck you. I will not be tempted.
>>15676498
>in place of an actual argument
But there was no argument to begin with. Are you delusional?

>>15676498

DUDE WHITE PEOPLE LMAO
>>15676498
But that's wrong.
People like Turn A because it immediately stands out among the endless RX-78-2 redesigns. Love it or hate it, you'd immediately recognise the Sys99 among a horde of Gundams.
The only other Gundam I've actually liked beyond "it's okay" since is Barbatos.
If AoZ wasn't a thing I'd probably choose the Turn A.
>>15676417
>He doesn't like Mobile Suit Bling Bling
>>15676541
I can't believe you chose the one without shoulder armor. That's like one of his best things dude.
>Giving a shit where a Gundam design was made
Why do people care who made the design? If people like it, does it matter in the grand scheme of things?
>>15676553
I just nabbed a pic off Google quick, I didn't give a shit to specifically choose one.
>>15676541
Ah, so you like Turn A because you don't like Gundams. Now it makes sense.
Also if you think they all look the same, you aren't terribly familiar with them. Some of them are easy to mistake, like Destiny and Destiny Impulse, or 0 Gundam, Alex, and RX-78. I could see someone making an argument about Psyco and Destroy looking too similar, but Zeta and F91 don't even slightly resemble each other. Ez8, Airmaster, GP02, Virtue, Nu, Freedom, Master, Deathscythe, AGE-2, Exia, Flauros, Arcane, and X all stand out from the RX-78 line just as much as Turn A does. You'd have to be blind or retarded to get EX-S confused with RX-78.
Let's derail this thread a little.
What's your ideal Gundam? Frankenstein parts off of multiple MS, rip designs off, it's a free for all, all for your ideals.
>>15676498
>Unnatural attachment to SEED designs
>WHITE PEOPLE LMAO
SEAnigger detected.
>>15676585
>Ah, so you like Turn A because you don't like Gundams
I like the RX-78-2. What I don't like is that same design being recycled almost every series. You're deluded if you think at least 50% of Gundams don't take it as a base and tack shit on.
>>15676541
>the endless RX-78-2 redesigns
>>15676607
>at least 50%
lol that de-escalated quickly
Like I said, there are a handful of pairs that could easily be mistaken for each other, and there *are* like 7 or 8 RX-78s now, but the vast majority of Gundams are easily identifiable from each other and from the original. You need to get your eyes checked if you can't tell ZZ, Unicorn, V2, Blitz, Epyon, Arios, God, G-Saviour, and G-Self apart.
>>15676619
50% of Gundam is still nearly two and a half decades worth of endless redesigns of the OG Gundam from the 79 series. You can list as many unique Gundams as you want, doesn't change the fact that there are just as many not-RX-78s.
>>15676498
Top kek
>>15676626
>You can list as many unique Gundams as you want
Lol if I keep going I'm going to list them all. Aside from all those one-offs in G (which are all EXTREMELY unique) I'm already around the halfway mark. Relatively few Gundams look close enough to the RX-78 that you could get them confused, assuming you've actually watched the shows. You pretty much have to be unfamiliar with them to the point of only being able to recognize it as "A Gundam I'm not familiar with" or have severe memory problems if you've actually watched the shows and still can't remember which one this is.
>>15675280
Not a Gundam. Used to be a Gundam but is no longer a Gundam.
>>15675748
>>15675399
These need HG kits so badly
>>15676459
>>15676392
I want to see Syd Mead's take on other Gundams like the Zeta, or even Zeon mech

Yes, you are the only one. It's a shitty partsformer that doesn't deserve the Z in its name.

All you've succeeded in doing is making me remember how goddamn wonderfully articulated the Atlas is. Those ball joints are gorgeous in motion.
>>15675274
>>15675344
Zeta has best head.
>>15675497
A man of impeccable taste. More mobile suits need wrist guns. The only other one I can think of with them is the Dreissen.

>>15676683
Just because is doesn't look like a gundam doesn't mean it isn't one.

Because they're niche suits that won't sell as much as the ones they DO release.

>>15677691
Yeah nigga, I'm GAY what're you going to do about that?
>>15678846
Savior's a good-looking design. It's just stuck in a bit of subparcanadiansource material.
Design wise, I prefer this over the Exia in almost every way.
>>15675253
Only one of the following is an acceptable answer: Alex, GP01 or GP03, ZZ, Nu, Unicorn, Victory or V2, The X series, and the Xi.

I like it's just treated like stylized over the shoulder shields with vectoring thrusters and fancy wings, but the OVA acts like it's actual fucking angel wings and that's retarded.

Isn't it extra pretty if it does, though? I thought that was the point.

It's got a much smoother aesthetic than the Zeta, which comes off as angular and the Rezel line like a walking polygon (bjt damn can they dance).
Probably the same reason you like the Mk II. I love both designs, but the Nu gundam takes it as top in form and function for my taste.
That said, the GP01 and and Double X Gundam strike my fancy. Super-grunt suit for the GP01, and mega beam cannon suit without the bulk of the ZZ or wings of the Wing Zero.

>>15682762
>basically a GM
Half the reason the Gundam was so great was its armor. The other half was Amuro Ray. The MKII has neither of those things.
>>15688508
The MkII had Kamille Bidan, Emma Sheen, and Elle Vianno.
It also has the longest on-screen service life of any mobile suit in the entire franchise. It survived from the first episode of Zeta to the final episode of ZZ, 100 episodes total.
Best progression of any Gundam development was
>Rx-78-2
>MK II
>Nu
Second best is probably
>Exia
>Raiser
>Qan[T]
>>15688508
When it was built it was the most maneuverable mobile suit in existence. The arms race just put it in its place very quickly.
Regardless it's either still a quality design given its ability to survive or it's just one of the luckiest mobile suits to ever exist.
>>15688521
*97 episodes.
Also, Kamille>Amuro.
