If you were a pilot of any gundam, which one would you choose/which one do you think you would be assigned?
So this question has 3 answers
1: which *gundam* I’d like to pilot? Gundam Flauros (Ryusei-Go) from Iron Blooded Orphans
It can turn into a crab!!!
2: which mobile suit? The zogok, my personal favorite of the abandoned California Base suits
3: which suit would I be assigned?
The short answer? I can’t know for sure
The long answer… mwahaha
So the answer can broken into 3 main components
1: what universe Im supposedly a pilot in (and when)
2: who i side with
3: how good of a pilot am I
I’ll answer 3 off the bat and answer everything else accordingly. I am a decent pilot at best. Not *the* best, but not terrible. I’d at least qualify as an Ace Pilot (5 kills)
So 1 is a fun one because gundam has… a lot of different universes
This is currently the most accurate chart, just imagine the Witch from Mercury in the corner by the PD timeline
So let’s go down the line
UC
Earth Federation
So starting in the OYW (One Year War), the Federation got mobile suits much later than Zeon did, so my options are severely limited, especially considering I’m not part of the White Base. I have 2 options
The GM and the Ball.
I pray to god I get the GM.
There’s also the Guncannon and Guntank Massed Production Types I could pilot if I’m lucky
However after the OYW, the feddies created the Titans, and went through an experimental phase, creating suit after suit like the Hazel and Wondwart
The Titans would also make suits like the Hizack, Asshimar, and Gaplant, all of which are good contenders for being piloted.
Then the Titans got cut out and their MS stopped being produced and were all sent to storage or scrapyards. However the Feds were far from finished. They took the GM and make countless upgrades, making the GM II and III, the Jegan, and the Jesta
Now this is about where my knowledge of the EFF ends so I’ll move on
The Republic of Zeon
Now Zeon has a much more varied history, and I will be including Neo Zeon suits when it applies
So to start, Zeon had the humble Zaku, which then became the Zaku II. Later the suit was upgrades into the Gouf prototypes. Those are likely the suits I’d get if I joined in the early OYW
Now mid OYW is a fun one because Zeon did a LOT with aquatic suits. If I’m lucky I could land a Gogg, Zock, Z’gok, Acguy, or even a Hy-Gogg, though probably not the Experimental Z’gok seen in 0080 War in the Pocket
Towards the end of the war, Zeon introduced the Gelgoog and Rick Doms, which became their new mass produced MS
Although after that, Zeon dissolved thanks to all of their leaders fucking dying (The Duke was killed by his son, who was killed by his sister, who was killed by Char Aznable. Dozle died gloriously in combat)
However, thanks to Haman, Zeon rose again as Neo Zeon, and their army of transformable Gazas. I’d rather pilot a Ball than a Gaza, so I think that demonstrates how bad the Gazas are.
But that’s not all Neo Zeon did, as they also produced several other suits for their regular MS corps. Suits like the Zssa (pronounced z-sah, all one syllable), which I would gladly pilot. Look at her, who wouldn’t?
And Neo Zeons most infamous mass production suit, the Döven Wolf. The half pint Psycho Gundam covered end to end in beam cannons, with detachable arms that can grab into enemy suits, or swing beam sabers. Oh also, it has a psycommu system, which meant Neo Zeon had some damn FAITH that all their soldiers are innate newtypes
They also had the Zaku III, but that was kinda Generals only
Anti Earth Union Group
Rick Dias, it’s kinda their only mass production suit
I've reached my photo limit, so I'll just start directing to the Gundam wiki
And that’s all my UC knowledge
G Gundam
I’ve still gotta finish this one, I’ll get back to you on this
Wing
SEED
AGE
X
These are series I have yet to actually watch, so I’ll get back to you here too
Iron-Blooded Orphans
Gjallerhorn
Gjallerhorn isn’t very creative with its soldier suits, so I’d be stuck with a Graze, either the space or land variant
Tekkadan
Despite being a bunch of kids, Tekkadan has a surprising variety in their suits. I obviously wouldn’t be getting any of their Gundam frames, but I’d likely end up running a Landman Rodi, or a Shiden
Shidens are technically Teiwaz suits but Tekkadan uses the a lot
Turbines
They have Hyakurens. That’s it. Naze seems like a nice guy tho
Witch From Mercury
So this just depends on 1.5 things, whether I'm a student at the academy and which company I'm repping.
If I rep Jertuk Heavy Machinery, I'll be using a Dilanza
Peil Technologies would give me a Zowort
and lastly Grassley Defense Systems would give me a Heindree or Beguir-Pente
If im out of the school however, that would be a Dilanza Sol from JHM, a Zowort Heavy from Peil, or a Heindree Sturm from GDS. Im not providing the links, they're just variants of the aforementioned suits.
And finally, the Desultor (thanks JHM) if I side with the Earthian terrorist organization/freedom fighters: The Dawn of Fold.
If anyone knows more than me in anything I *have* talked about, feel free to correct or add anything!
I will be adding addendums once I've finally watched or read that particular piece of gundam media
Do u have other amphibian ms aside from ur hy gogg and kapool :)c if not what r ur thoughts on those two kits
oh you do not know what you just unleashed….. aquatic ms are my FAVORITE
this is about the most i have, i really wish they could come out with more but i don’t think i have much space for something like a Zock. but uh yeah, the zogok is painted to match the 0079 lineart and my gogg and zgok are currently destroyed and i modded my zgok E’s backpack to be some sorta depth charge thing, and i have an original 1985 1/100 acguy
edit sorry i forgot to answer the second half of the ask i got too excited, uhhh the hygogg kit is kinda mediocre but i built it wrong at the time and the kapool kit is actually really good but you do have to paint most of the gray on it
I usually save something like this, until after I’ve shown something, but I thought it would be fun to do it backwards for once- Using one of my previous CS-ified SDs as an example, allow me to walk you through of the process of how I customized this Koumei Nu Gundam.
For starters, I wound up using this waist part from an HG Zogok; BB Nu’s torso is rather compact and needs an extension, so something with a similar shape works nicely. You’ll also have to come up with a way for this new mid section to slot into the waist. The connection is the same size as those ball polycaps.
While I was at it, I felt the need to add a few bits and pieces to this new mid section, because otherwise the BB Nu torso jets out too far and looks awkward.
Next thing I did was cut off the back skirt from Koumei, then cut off BB’s back skirt and glue Koumei’s skirt in place of it. I wanted to keep the BB front skirt because it matches the torso better. The back skirt is for transformations/alternate modes/etc. I followed this up by cutting off the original BB’s pegs for the legs and then gluing on ones from a CS frame.
Not done any #3d photos for a while, my old app stopped working. Found a new app though. Posted a few different styles of 3D photo, so hopefully everyone can get one to work. Here’s a #mobilesuit #msm08zogok from #unicorngundam series. #zogok #gundam #gunpla #modelkit #plasmo https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ1B7MagSh5/?igshid=msuxfbnd1gwz
I just realized I have “amateur blender artist” in my bio and have posted not one art
So behold
My art
This here is my buddy boy J0-RG3, or Jorge for short. He’s my first real completed model, andI’ve just kinda been sticking more and more on him
He had a single yellow claw arm for a while
This is a mimic based half off Dark Souls, half after Minecraft dungeons
He does a jig :3
This is a goober I made trying to make a robot for a children’s cartoon, no named though :/
This is a my hypothetical custom MS if I was a character in Gundam Build Divers, I call it the Tsunami Gundam(?), and it’s composed of a Zogok base, Gogg legs, Juaggu arms used as shoulder mounted cannons, a Z’gok right arm with the Zogok’s extendability, and a Zock left arm. Plus the Gundam’s v-fin attached with Blu-Tac
And finally SaRA, a Science and Research Assistant with pop-out heelies. I’m not super happy with some parts of the current model, so a minor update to her model and rig will come… eventually?
