The tail end of Aneheim's designs is a rollercoaster. Now I really hope the next Build- series gives the Draig a makeover and HG that thing looks sick.

I'd love to see an Alternate UC where it got adopted and the designers had to GMify or Gundamify it to be acceptable to the higher brass in the federation

It's kind of funny to characterize SNRI as an attempt to shed reliance on spacenoids because it is later a branch of SNRI that forms the basis of BESPA's design team. Plus SNRI has no qualms where they operate from. It's mostly to have a a design team that operates under the flag of the Earth Federation.

I enjoyed the chaos of the attack on Davao and that the majority of it took place from the perspective of people not in mobile suits so its a lot of chaos and glimpses of gigantic suits and peoples homes and lives being blown up. the gundam dogfight I couldnt make a drat thing out tho hahah.

Most of that dogfight the Gundams are shooting at something not even visibly on screen, even before taking into account the darkness filter all the movies action scenes are inflicted with.

So I could use some help with finding something: what's the most jank-assed, kitbashed-looking mobile suit in Gundam? I remember once hearing about one, I think in Crossbone, that was so jacked-up and poorly repaired that it had a torso for a leg, but hell if I can find that in my own searching. I'm joining a friend's Lancer game with a character concept of essentially 'built this in a scrapyard, and it looks it, but it's still scary', so I want a visual refernece to get that across. Currently my best angle is to use the hosed up Exia from the start of 00 season 2.

Also it's the Double Zeta behind all the added and replaced parts, but if you want kitbashed stuff some of the Space Warring States Era stuff from crossbone dust are visibly made from pieces of old MS, usually arranged artistically. uninterrupted posted:The tail end of Aneheim's designs is a rollercoaster.

It still weirds me out that the Gump's official colour scheme is a uniform blue-grey which really just kind of kills the patchwork look it has going for it.Cleretic posted:So I could use some help with finding something: what's the most jank-assed, kitbashed-looking mobile suit in Gundam?

If you're still looking into the Exia though, there's also the Amazing Exia from Build Fighters which, at one point, also gets hosed up and patched together with parts from another kit. Still doesn't look very scrapyard though, sadly.

I think the thought process might be that it obscures the dramatic 'oh poo poo it's the ZZ' reveal; if you see that it's got bits of that iconic Gundam color scheme then you're mentally expecting it to be some kind of Gundam, but it being a shade of blue that it shares with nothing of tremendous note means that it's a surprise when it is, in fact, something of tremendous note. It's logic that only really makes sense if it first appeared in color in a version of that particular manga, though, which I can't quite confirm. I think so?

i did quite like the non-gundam designs in hathaway god drat are the xi and penelope an eyesore though. i guess i have to admire the sheer chutzpa it takes to move forward on animating those designs with no alterations.

I remember people were spitballing that the Xi/Penelope both being such gigantic slabs of iron was part of the reason they took so long to animate Hathaway. And while I'm sure that wasn't really it I also imagine someone, somewhere in Bandai/Sunrise was bringing that up at whatever planning meetings they do.

The Messer is peak post-zeon design, like a stg-44 being turned into an AK. Gustav Karls being terrifying from the ground are also neat, and do a good job of showing the Federation as an oppressive force

Maybe I should have rephrased that as less reliance on Anaheim specifically. In-house development has its advantages when your primary supplier has a track record of two-timing with your enemies.

ninjewtsu posted:i did quite like the non-gundam designs in hathaway The designs kind of work in terms of getting across "this is a machine that operates on a whole different level from normal mobile suits". But yes, they are also incredibly ugly. Big stupid pauldrons and gigantic feet, it'll probably be a bigger issue in the next movie, where they'll have more screentime.

When designing the Xi the first question was "so... you like triangles?" The Penelope is a mess that really only looks good when it has its shields up in flight mode where it reminds me of the Kshatriya bell pepper but with a tail trailing it.
