mikeszekely Posted October 15, 2003 Posted October 15, 2003 (edited) I'm curious, what are your favorite mobile suits from each Gundam series? This isn't a poll, because I didn't feel like listing a few choices from each series. Just write in and tell me which ones you like... but just one from each series. (I'm grouping all the One Year War suits together, but if you want to break them up by series, go ahead. I just don't want to see stuff like "From Char's Counterattack, I really liked Sazabi, the RE-GZ, the Jagd Doga... etc, because that just gets ridiculous. I only want to know your one most favorite for each series.) My list is thus: One Year War - Gouf Zeta Gundam - Gundam Mk II ZZ Gundam - Bawoo Char's Counterattack - Nu Gundam Gundam F91 - I'll go with the RX-99 Neo Gundam... but in my opinion, UC mobile suits are all downhill from Char's Counterattack. V Gundam - Victory 2 Gundam G-Saviour - I'm gonna go with the J-Saviour from the game version. G Gundam - Master Gundam (but Manager Gundam gets props for the tie and cigar) Gundam W - The Endless Waltz version of Deathscythe Hell Gundam X - Virsago Turn A Gundam - Borjarnon! Gundam SEED - Blitz Gundam For you manga lovers out there... Sentinel - Sigma Gundam Under the Gundam - D Gundam 3rd Hathaway's Flash - Penelope Gundam F90 - RF Gouf Silhouette Formula 91 - Silhouette Gundam Gaia Gear - Zorin Soul Crossbone Gundam - Crossbone Gundam X-1 G-Unit - Gundam Griepe Edited October 15, 2003 by mikeszekely Quote
UN Spacy Posted October 15, 2003 Posted October 15, 2003 I don't have a favorite because I haven't seen each series. But.......I always liked: Gundam GP-03 Dendrobium Gundam F-91 Gundam GP-02 Nu Gundam ...another 0083 entry - Neu Ziel Quote

Skippy438 Posted October 15, 2003 Posted October 15, 2003 Okay, here's my list, but I haven't seen all the series either MSG: Gelgoooooooooooooog! 0080: GM Sniper II, only there for a second before it's blown to hell, but it's a beautiful suit 08th MS Team: Gouf Custom, just a sleeker Gouf, excellent 0083: GP01 was cool, land form though Zeta: Gundam Mk. II Titans colors, you just can't go wrong with midnight blue, ever haven't seen ZZ, but the Zeta Zaku looks great Char's CA: I'd say the Nu Gundam, but I can't get enough of the Jegan, man that thing is just great Quote
joke-machine Posted October 15, 2003 Posted October 15, 2003 Haven't seen most of the series, but my favorites from what i have seen are definately a tie between Epyon, and GP-03 Dendrobium. On a secondary note, I also love the GP-02 with its huge Bazooka, and the Zakus have always had a place in my heart. Quote
NoSuchFile Posted October 15, 2003 Posted October 15, 2003 Zaku II it's a classic and one of the best looking Ginn (Scout version, black with a huge gun) GuAIZ (Commander type silver colored) HGUC Z'Gok E Ex-S Gundam too many guns, nice Justice (SEED) Freedom (SEED) Forbidden (SEED) and some more I don't know the names Quote
1st Border Red Devil Posted October 15, 2003 Posted October 15, 2003 Mines gotta be the Wave-Rider Re-GZ 91 from Char's Counterattack. My second fave has to be the Nu Gundam...also from Char's Counterattack. For a General Model...gotta go with the Jegan (let's face it...I loved Char's Counterattack ). Quote

Britai 7018 Posted October 15, 2003 Posted October 15, 2003 dang, it looks like some people like ALL of the mobile suits. I guess for me, I like the 3 Gundams from 0083. They weren't TOO extravagent (well, except the 03.). Quote
Isamu Atreides 86 Posted October 15, 2003 Posted October 15, 2003 Ez-8 from the 08th MS Team Gouf Flight Type from 08th MS Team Ex-S from Sentinel Jegan from CCA Re-Gz from CCA Geara Doga from CCA Gundam Mk II from Z Quote
nemesis120 Posted October 15, 2003 Posted October 15, 2003 Hmm, I'd have to say my favorite is the Hyaku-Shiki. Then the Zeta, the Gyan, Gelgoog, and Nu. Quote
Druna Skass Posted October 15, 2003 Posted October 15, 2003 Favorite Mobile Suit... I pretty much like them all. Quote

yellowlightman Posted October 15, 2003 Posted October 15, 2003 Okay, sounds fun. Here's my list: One Year War - Dom Zeta Gundam - Gundam Mk II ZZ Gundam - Jamru Fin (though technically thats a Mobile Armor...) Char's Counterattack - Jagd Doga Gundam F91 - RXR-44 Guntank V Gundam - Zoloat G-Saviour - Bugu G Gundam - Um, the Sailor Moon Gundam Gundam W - Hated Wing, don't like feathers on my mecha Gundam X - They're all too ugly Turn A Gundam - Sumo Gundam SEED - Mobius Zero (though that isn't even a Mobile Suit) Quote
Jolly Rogers Posted October 15, 2003 Posted October 15, 2003 The High Mobility Zaku series - these are just the tip of this rocking iceberg: RP Elliot Lem's prototype standard R-1 production type Shin Matsunaga R-1 custom Black Tri-Stars R-1A custom Eric Mansfield R-1A custom Masaya Nakagawa R-1A custom Johnny Ridden R-2 custom Robert Gilliam R-2 custom Elliot Lem R-2P custom Quote
tetsujin Posted October 15, 2003 Posted October 15, 2003 Geez, "I like the Hi-mo Zaku" would have sufficed, didn't need to toss in the entire image library. One from each series seems excessive. Here's my favorite mobile suit: Zaku Kai. As a rule I love Izubuchi's work, so I'm also keen on the rest of the stuff from CCA, 0080, Patlabor, Gasaraki, etc. but the Zaku Kai is my favorite. Quote
Isamu Atreides 86 Posted October 15, 2003 Posted October 15, 2003 didn't Johnny Ridden also have a custom Geloog or Dom?? Quote
GobotFool Posted October 15, 2003 Posted October 15, 2003 No love for the Zeta? Man.... Well thats my favorite, I also like the classic RX-78, any Zeon suit, and the Heavy Arm's custom, really want a MG heavy arm's custom....... Quote
ArchVile Posted October 15, 2003 Posted October 15, 2003 OYW: GM Sniper II Gundam NT-1 (gotta love those arm guns) Gelgoog, Johnny Ridden version Zeta: Zeta Gundam Type 100 (too lazy to say its Japanese name) Nemo Rick Dias Marasai Gaplant CCA: Nu Gundam Re-GZ Jagd Doga Gyunei version F91: Gundam F91 Sentinal: EX-S Gundam Seed: Freedom Justice Thats it.

Mr March Posted October 15, 2003 Posted October 15, 2003 My absolute favorite of any of the Gundam mecha will always be the RX-78NT-1 Gundam Alex. The design is the best refinement of the original RX-78-2 Gundam from the OYW era; it holds up well even today. I also really like any mecha with disposable armor (one of the reasons I'm a huge fan of the VF-1). As per the list rule, here are my favorites: Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War In The Pocket RX-78NT-1 Gundam Alex Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory RX-78GP02A Gundam Physalis Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team RX-79[G] Ground Gundam Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack MSN-04 Sazabi Quote
Anubis Posted October 16, 2003 Posted October 16, 2003 My fav's include: UC: Gouf Zaku IIF2 Z'Gok Sazabi Gundam MK II Titans Alternates: Master Gundam Aile Strike Gundam The Sazabi wins overall, though. Quote
Abombz!! Posted October 16, 2003 Posted October 16, 2003 3 MSs of undeniable beauty! Xi Gundam: Wing Gundam Zero Early Type: Hi Nu Gundam: Quote
Lightning Posted October 16, 2003 Posted October 16, 2003 my personal fav (even though it's not red) and my two OYW favs the GM Cannon the Zaku Cannon and my 0083 Fav- the GM Cannon II Quote
Isamu Atreides 86 Posted October 16, 2003 Posted October 16, 2003 hey Abombz!!, where did you get those pics of the High Mobility and Heavy weapons Ez-8?? you posted them on the old boards, but i don't remember where they were. Quote
Graham Posted October 16, 2003 Posted October 16, 2003 I dislike the design and design concept of pretty much all mobile suits, except those of Gundam Sentinel. My favorite is the S-Gundam, closely followed by the Z-Plus C1. Graham Quote

Graham Now you are talking..... a gundam that falls off the usual look and becomes an exception to the rule... *Good guys -the Ex-S on any configuration (deep, booster, etc) -zeta plus C1 0083 -GP02 -GP03 -Dendrobium -Gerbera tetra ZZ?? -Fazz F91 with full weaponry *Bad guys -Xeukiens -Jag doga -Kampfer -Dom trooper -XM-01 Den'an Zon -YMS-16M Xamel -AMX-002 (AMA-X2) Neue Ziel Quote
Mr March Posted October 16, 2003 Posted October 16, 2003 Ugh. I hate the overly stylized mecha like the Xi Gundam, FAZZ, and Sentinel designs. Those designs are far too busy looking, with too many unecessary segments, flanges, and protrusions. A solid mecha design that stands the test of time will always look good based simply on the basic aesthetic essentials, like the VF-1 Valkyries of Macross, the RX-78-2 from Gundam, or the Ingrams of Patlabor. Quote
jonwayne Posted October 16, 2003 Posted October 16, 2003 Wing Zero Custom and Deathscythe Hell Custom. I got a weakness for wings and cloak. Quote
Phyrox Posted October 16, 2003 Posted October 16, 2003 How about we limit it to 3 or so. "Favorite," doesn't mean much if you list 15 of 'em. I would say: Zetaplus C1 (Sentinel) Turn X (Turn A) Gerbera Tetra (0083) although I think the R-Jarja has the all-time best head...a little better than the S-Gundam) Quote

Totally agree. The Sentinel designs were really scratch build models Frankensteined from a bunch of different, unrelated parts without much rhythm or reason except to "look cool". Quote
hellohikaru Posted October 16, 2003 Posted October 16, 2003 hmmmm....i have no love for the wing gundams but my favourites are: Gelgoog(all versions) Rick Dom Ziong Sazabi GM Sniper Ginn Z'Gok Big Zam RX-79(G) Gyan Quote
Keith Posted October 16, 2003 Posted October 16, 2003 I'm a simple man, and love the Zeta & Nu. Quote
