>>15831375
>Nu Gundam
>Sazabi
>Geara Doga
>Kerberos Protect Gear

This Izubuchi guy is based why don't we hear more about him these days?

>>15831409
Because he has somehow gotten even worse

>>15831409
His style shifted and he sucks now.

He's a director now, he doesn't do mechanical design work anymore.

Also Rune Masquer, Galient, Dunbine and Rahxephon.

One on the right looks like some WW2 equipment on top of rather generic armor.

Well yeah, they're literally using WW2 equipment its a weird alternate history where Japan loads up their SWAT/SOF with powered armor and MG42s

Izubuchi's Protect Gear

Sadly.

Not that it isn't pretty sweet, but Kow Yokoyama does THICC armor like no other.

That said, I'm more of a fan of the melusine or kauz.

The Jin Roh Protect Gear armor shows up as alternate history Nazi troopers in the new DC cartoon Freedom Fighters

How the fuck does that thing get back on it's feet if it is knocked over??

>>15832471
how do suits like that "take cover" ?

or are they hoping their armor's enough.

>>15831375
The protect gear, i can't even recall any western rip offs of the SAFS, western powered armor designs are usually way too human looking, have absurdly wide shoulders, or are just an exoskeleton with no armor, I can't think of any with that simple headless body and functional design of the SAFS, but there are plenty of examples of western artists copying the Kerberos aesthetic.

Because Nazis are unequivocally the ultimate evil, that is something most people can agree upon. They make for the perfect bad guys, always have and always will.

>Because Nazis are unequivocally the ultimate evil
Why? Plenty of people have done more evil things than they have. Still waiting for a show about the evil Mongol empire that just rides in on literal flaming zombie horses to murder everyone with disease and fire.

>>15834963
Why is evil so much cooler though? Protect Gear with a MG42 looks so much better than any of the heroes in >>15833007
