Well I know that, it's just that it's always over by the shoulder so I call it like I see it.

Also this conversation is quickly turning into a derail so let's just end it here.

Talking about weird Gundam design conventions in the Build Fighters thread is a derail now? :v:

It's the dumb green gun sword that's awful and sucks.

Well, when you've already hit perfection with the 00 Gundam's switchblade sword/pistol, there's really nowhere to go but down.

I hope someone in Build Fighters S2 has some sort of 00 kitbash dual wielding those things. Maybe the 00 Amazing...?

Actually perfection was Exia's giant switchblade and every sword + gun combo will forever pale in comparison to that thing swinging into place with accompanying sound effect.

Same thing with the GN sword III, which was a similar blade with an even better gun attached. I straight up can't tell you why they thought the GN Sword V was an improvement.

I still want to see an Exia/00 variant that just dual-wields two of those GN Switchblades. I'm surprised it hasn't happened yet considering all the spinoff designs.

Because the sword bits can attach to it and turn it into a gigantic leaf blade/buster sword, which is hilarious.

If such a machine doesn't have a custom cow of some kind included, then it is a failure in my eyes. Doesn't even need to do anything, just have a different paint scheme in show than the black & white cow in Turn-A had or something. Or maybe give it a beam washing line.

A lot of the 'second-tier' units never really got a showing in BF. Most of the iconic pilot units were first-tier suits. (Strike, Zaku II, Wing Gundam, Gundam X, Astray, Crossbone Gundam, ect.) So a second season has a pretty good chance of pushing some of the bigger upgrade units to the forefront.

It's virtually the same color scheme except with the blue bands on the legs and arms and the blue spot on the head. Even the red and gold in the torso area is almost identical.

Also, aside from the Unicorn, the suits in Unicorn are just spikier or more complicated versions of suits from Z and ZZ. What's the point of putting in an Anksha when an Ashimar is so much easier to draw?

The Unicorn is a mobile suit that transforms into a Gundam.

It's basically a jumped-up Reborns Gundam.

Off the top of my head, about the only things Episode 7 added are the Neo Zeong, the Kyshatria Repair, and the Unicorn versions of the Zeta Plus and the Gustav Karl. So, not much else that Build Fighters didn't have access to in Season 1.

Not really, the Reborns Gundam changed from a Guncannon into a Gundam, completely changing its weapon loadout. The only thing that changes equipment wise between Unicorn and Destroy mode is another set of beam sabers pop out of the back.

EDIT: VVVV Either way, the only real difference is another set of beam sabers, compared to a complete transformation with the Reborns.

The mounted arm beam sabers are what become useable in Destroy Mode, actually. The beam sabers on the back are there by default, they just pop up to look like typical protagonist Gundam positioning in Destroy Mode.

See the beam saber starting at 1:25, and NT-D Assault at 2:25 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viLkY90V1ZY

No, he was right. While in Unicorn mode, the Unicorn only has access to the sabers on the arms. You're probably thinking of beam tonfa mode.

I would be entirely cool with this if we get another pilot like ~Evil Meijin~ who realizes his suit has a bunch of redundant weapons and is thus perfectly willing to pull otherwise wasteful feints.

I looked at the normal Unicorn mode from Z3.1 and it does indeed grab a beam saber from the arm. My bad.

The 00 Raiser being able to produce a beam saber so massive that the bad guys thought it was a beam cannon at first was dumb as gently caress in the series but would be right at home (not to mention totally badass) in Build Fighters.

If they're going to do that then they better bring back Sengoku Astray and make him Powered with the Anti-Ship cleaving sword. I want to see that vs. Raiser Sword.
