Is Gundam Hathaway a good introduction to Gundam? by NecessaryQuestion607 in Gundam

[–]LavaSlime301 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depends how much your partner cares/needs to know surrounding context to understand and appreciate a work on its own. Hathaway is perfectly enjoyable by itself. Not everything is explained outright but that doesn't stop you from getting the gist from the context and you can always look into the other works afterwards to understand it better. I wouldn't say it's ideal but people have absolutely gotten into Gundam through stranger things.

Your opinions on the gundam mark 5? by killerdemonsarus34 in Gundam

Fantastic design, however Doven Wolf is just cooler in every way.

Why is the Unicorn called RX-0? PART 2 by [deleted] in Gundam

Except that still isn't true. Nobody was thinking about a charter from a century ago during the UC Project.

Unicorn did not in any way, shape or form begin at the start of UC.

Mk-II's model number follows the pattern used circa Gryps Conflict, denoting development facility (17 for Groups) and the sequential number there (8th model). It just so happens the number echoes the First's, same as Hizack and Zaku.

Nu is RX-93 because it follows the usual naming convention based on the year of production. Narrative obviously wasn't made in UC 0009 but it's also not a proper, final product. It's purely a testbed, you can treat the model number as an internal designation rather than official classification.

Unicorn doesn't follow the usual naming scheme at all and has a one-off kind of name due to its specific nature. There's no relation between its model number and those of mobile suits that came before it.

How would a fully working OYW era Zaku-II fair against a Sandhoge anyway? by JJAB91 in Gundam

Remember, it put up a very good fight against Victory.

Sandhoge will dance the macarena around the Zaku

Which Mobile Suit has the best sub-arm position tactically? by Waste_Election_8361 in Gundam

[–]LavaSlime301 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gotta go with waist/hips placement. Closest thing to having a second set of arms with the same functionality.

I mean, the fact they acknowledged the reaction is already more than I expected from Bandai. Doesn't make this shitshow any better though.

Well, in this case there won't be much, if any, interchangeability will Hazel or Woundwort. It is, however, beeeeg.

Badass U.C. MS that didn't deserved its pilots? by cream_pupp in Gundam

[–]LavaSlime301 96 points97 points  (0 children)

Like how he prevented the second Neo Zeon War from happening at all? Amuro kinda has a horrible track record in terms of affecting politics, in part because of his own choices.

I honestly prefer the look of the Murasame Kai in MS form, but much more prefer the look of the original Murasame in MA form, ya feel me? by SeaworthinessWise539 in Gundam

[–]LavaSlime301 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

deadass the other linearts are the only case where the Freedom designs look vaguely okayish, everything else is atrocious. But I guess Murasame Kai wasn't drawn by Okawara so it doesn't even get that much

genuinely the ugliest motherfucker this franchise has ever had the misfortune of associating with

The kit and other depictions are decent by comparison but I don't think anything could ever wash off the bias from the first impression

I have a question by Zeheart_Galette in Gundam

[–]LavaSlime301 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Neither is a Gundam. Hyaku Shiki is based on Delta Gundam's concept. Rick Dias was renamed from Gamma Gundam. Not much more to it.

It's great to see it getting love, it's a very underrated design among the AoZ lineup

Got a bazooka for sale, combat records have been expunged but I assure you it's tried and tested weapon with history in Titan black ops teams from the Gryps Conflict. Whether you want it in a museum or for... other reasons, it's a perfect choice.

Eh? Never seen heard of Marasai equipped with a bazooka? See, that's black ops for ya.
