You think one day, Bandai will have the balls to do a Gundam series where the main character is evil? He or she will use it purely for nefarious purposes. For once the Gundam truly will be a devil.

IBO ended like 4 months ago

In IBO the main character is a henchman for the "evil" guy and their Gundams are named after devils.

Were you oblivious to IBO and its autistic psycopathic murderous main character ?

If Mikazuki was a "psychotic bad guy" then Char and autism bot Kamille sure as hell was as well.

Members of Tekkadan were misunderstood, not evil. I am talking evil like Dio, Darkseid, or Dr.Hell. Not even trying to be egdy, it is just that every Gundam series MC is either good, misunderstood, or neutral, never one that is evil.

but the federation is evil

No anime ever has a truly evil MC, otherwise the audience couldnt relate to it and the show would flop. For someone to be truly evil you cant hand the audience any reason to like them, otherwise he'll just fall under the category of being misunderstood. But if you do that not a lot will actually bother to watch the show.

M.D. Geist was evil in the long run.

Show me an anime that does that in general with good production values and I might be more inclined to believe Bandai could do it.

SSY, the kantus users win and are the leads.

The only way it could work is if they experience a fall to darkness at the end that affects the audience in a dramatic way. If the protagonist is an asshole from the get-go there's no reason for people to watch an asshole be an asshole. Maybe some people do, but they are a tiny demographic.

Except that already happened.

Geist is the very definition of chaotic neutral. He cares not for good and evil, just fighting.

Death Note. There are more stories with villain protagonists of course but it's a rather hard trope to pull off. Most writers avoid it.
