My favourite Gundam is none of them because they're all gaudy trash. :smuggo: Grunt suit supremacy.

If you forced me to choose at gunpoint, the nu and Alex at least look extremely clean and don't have RX-78 Tonka truck colours, the G-self is kind of interestingly bug-like, the Barbatos looks sufficiently un-Gundam-like to look good even though it would look better with a different paintjob, and the normal mode Unicorn might look cool if someone took a hacksaw to its dumb little horn.

People were talking about protagonist Gundams, not the machines in general. The Virtue's a personal favourite because it's got one field of specialization and it does it very well; Shoot motherfuckers dead.

I'll admit,stuff like The End was still way better than the Try Burning,AKA a blatant copy-paste of the God Gundam. Or the Charlie Sheen Winning Gundam,AKA the lamest SD Gundam ever made.
But for me,the best suit in Try is still the TRYON MOTHERFUCKING 3:


The fact that it had literally the BEST fight scene in the show helps a bunch,as well.

That wasn't a high bar to strive for in Try, but let's be fair; It was definitely par with the original series' bouts. The best part of the TRYON 3 was seeing Yuuki trying so hard not to cry manly tears while basking upon the awesome radiance of its debut :allears:.

Completely agreed. That's also why the OVA was good.

Ehhhh, it was half-decent at best. Specifically the first half where they tried to give Sekai some semblance of personality and just had fun with the island trip. The second half just turns into boring masturbation once they go chasing the Scramble Gundam to a dull thud of a conclusion. The epilogue was kinda nice though, even if it's just a reminder of a much better show than the turd Try Fighters was.

I love everything about the Unicorn Gundam, but I will concede that it looks pretty cool if you swap out its head with a GM head.

I'm the guy who hates Gundam heads and says every UC Gundam would look better with a GM 1.5 head, and even I think the normal mode Unicorn head looks cool.

Except for the stupid horn.

what about everyone's favorite char/char clone robots? they're a lot less samey than protagonist gundams, and we can get some grunt suit appreciation in since there's a lot of souped up grunt suits in that lineup

personally, i love the tallgeese and the zeong. i also like char's custom z'gok quite a bit.

The Tallgeese is obviously the best. Especially the original.

I'm partial to the Sinanju, with the gold trim and the fuel tanks. It's beefy without looking like it can't still move around acrobatically.

Favorite protag Gundams:

Turn A for all the reasons outlined in this thread.

Victory and Victory 2: once upon a time a Gundam's gimmick could be simple (atmospheric flight). I like the super prototype V2, though I have a soft spot for the mass-produced V, which is basically a high-performance grunt. It's like calling your Toyota 86 a 2000GT.

AGE-3: I love the modern ZZ look. My favorite is the Fortress mode, it's like a sleeker Seravee.

Exia: It's stabby!

F91: Give me a pair of VSBRs over any fancy guns. The afterimages and the neat beam bazooka are a plus.

X Divider: Jury-rigged beam harmonica shield and beam machine gun. Mmmm.

Alex: I have the kit on my work desk, keeping my area 100% Kampfer-free. The hidden arm cannons are my favorite.

Impulse: It's a real step up from the Strike. I think the MG Sword Impulse has some gorgeous proportions, plus it's red.

As for grunts, I'm a fan of the following:
Dom
Hizack
Geara Doga
Jegan
Leo
GINN
Flag
Graze

The Victory's gimmick was it's core fighter and mass production of parts allowing it to use and sacrifice parts during battle in unique ways.

Are the VSBRs not fancy guns then?

Schneider Heim posted:

Eh, I prefer the Strike personally. At least the base Strike and Aile Strike. The Sword and gun Strike (can't recall the real designation) aren't as nice as the Sword and Blast Impulse.

VSBRs can fire wide, destructive beams, or narrow, penetrating beams. They're not fancy for me because they're not flashy-looking, unlike a certain nuclear-powered Gundam's signature beam burst.

Always loved how Usso would chuck his Gundam parts at the enemy, too. But really, I do like that in UC 153 do MS get flight as a baseline spec.
