10 months later watching this video, it brings a big smile to my face to see the Hizack win (this is coming from a guy whose favorite MS in the entire gundam universe is the Hizack, don't ask why, I don't know either)

I like to think of the Dom as the ground equivalent of the Gelgoog: an excellent mass production machine that outperformed its EF counterparts, but was sadly deployed too late and not in enough numbers to make a difference. It is also frequently shown that early EF MS on the ground used ballistic weapons instead of beam weapons, making the Dom’s heavier armor a better asset, unlike the Rick Dom which frequently faced GMs with beam spray guns. And much like the MS-06G, a Zaku with Gouf like leg jet thrusters and better mobility, the MS-06GD being a Zaku with Dom like hovering capabilities should make it the best ground variant of Zaku… only short of a Zaku Cannon with an actual beam cannon and similar hovering capabilities, provided by its YMS-09 like leg thrusters.

I had actually wondered where the Jupiter Empire MS, and Crossbone Gundam MS in general, were in terms of performance compared to units from other U.C. factions, so it was quite amusing to see that their earlier units might have been more on par with the OG CBV units all along. Actually makes you wonder why Mars Zeon didn’t have miniaturized MS when both the CBV and Jupiter Empire were well underway producing theirs. Perhaps they were waiting to capture the F90 to use it as a starting point. In the case of the Erebado, I find fitting that a machine IRL based on a creature uses a claw arm with in-built weapons (like many amphibious MS), but above all, I like that it has a set of both beam and physical weapons to deal with enemies as the situation requires. The signature weapon of the CBV, the shot lancer, exemplifies the concept of newer MS using older type weapons in an era where beam weapons (and even beam shields) are common as a consideration to avoid causing catastrophic damage next to colonies and other important locations. At first I wondered why the Jagd Doga had that weird beam saber with heat bayonet weapon, but now I think it was to give it an option to strike an enemy’s reactor without blowing it up. I think many defensive use MS, like the Shy-Tarn, ignore such concept. In fact, a Zoloat with a gatling gun would be a better choice for engaging MS next to Zanscare’s colonies, which I wonder might be the actual origin of such out of place weapon. By the way, I have commented on it before, but aren’t Jovian MS supposed to have greater thrust to deal with Jupiter’s gravity? The idea had been played with since the Messala and Jamey Fin with the larger booster were said to have more powerful thrusters to deal with that particular situation. Personally, I do like most odd looking MS like this one, as well as some of the weird designs from Zanscare and Vagan MS from Gundam Age, so more videos on them are always welcomed!

My pixy my favorite design

Its really "the future is now old man" type of mobile suit

The dom being just another grunt aready started in the original series, between jaburo and the battle of solomom like 90% of the enemies the white base fought were doms.

Nemo is my favorite grunt! I have 3 HGs. One on a Dodai Kai, one on the Argama flight deck, and one just by itself.

I do like the Nemo. And I like the AEUG green, gors well with the Radish, Irish, and repainted Salamis types.

Nether. Kampher for ever!

Still go for a gouf, doms suck.

First comment!

Can you make a video about the best GMs because most people say is the gm sniper ii

Marsi vs nemo

I'm afraid I just don't understand what you're saying in that last one what was that one last unit comprised of ? I'm trying to compile pieces to build a model of this Frankenstein machine

Zaku 4 looks better but I do prefer the look of the lower legs and head of the gera doga

First of all, I apologize for the many questions I am going to ask because for a while I have been looking for someone with knowledge of Dust even though my English is not the best. 1. What is the state of the Earth Federation? 2. any mention of Uso or any Victory character? 3. Mobile Suits like the Unicorn that were stored and sealed must still be in perfect condition, right? 4. Is it confirmed that Anaheim Electronics collapsed?

I would have liked to see it fighting in the ground, to see if it could work as a Dom type. At least I hope it’s not supposed to be a space only unit (ex: Rick Dom).

Iconic folding armored core style grenade rifle you can't mess that up one of if not the go to choice for a back weapon for me every time!

I love how no one in that HLV got motion sickness or was squashed to death under the extreme G forces and abrupt direction changes

Within the context of 0079 as a story it feels like the Dom is intended to the better unit. Because it's supposed to be tragic and dire for Ramba Ral that he was he was denied the shipment of the new Doms. This is further enforced by the likes of the Gihren's Greed what if stories where Ramba Ral captures the Gundam and The White Base if he actually does get the Doms. And when we only see the Dom later in the story where they're piloted by the Black Tri Stars. It feels like we're supposed to feel like things have escalated as one of the one screen kills they DO get from the Dom is one that's incredibly impactful for Amur as a character.

Nice.

Oh, that O Gundam thing wasn´t something to be taken seriously. It appeared in a magazine that made elaborate parodies such as Mazingaim (Mazinger+L Gaim)

considering we are talking Mass production types shouldn't cost come into consideration somewhere... I mean a mass production suit is great but what if you can't afford it?

This shit was amazing

Why did zeon, a primary space culture make so many suits that specialize in sea combat

So technically it a on par with each other.

I like your videos, I need to know how many ms the space ark can carry

Hahaaaaa!!!! Shelf Nozzles baby!!!!!!! 💪

i don't like late UC. but lore of it's suits by you is amazing!

The one characteristic this thing has in common with other GMs is their on-screen performance and role in the series:cannon fodder

While the Jegan D Type is bland, it pretty much fits the bill for a design meant to be a minor upgrade of the Jegan. We all know how the Federation simply made minor changes to the original Jegan and kept it in service for around 3 decades.

Thank you for continuing your dive into late UC mobile suits it's always a pleasure to listen to. Still waiting on the Mars Zeon units.

Suggestions: Zorin Soul GM Command Jegan Gussa RGM-196 Freedom RGM-86R GM lll Geara Zulu

Everyday, the Jupiter empire's MS designers and engineers stray further from god…

Moar late UC please

It's not a glass cannon, it's an actual blunderbuss.

LATE UC, SOECIFICALLY CROSSBONE LORE VIDEO WOOOHOOOOOOO

NO WAY IS THE MK-V Next

Late Uc is such strange time for Mobile Suit astheatics

More late Uc this should be fun

- I actually took a deep moment of reflexion before placing the Erebado's early development in UC115. I initially considered that the suit was very likely developed closer to UC120, considering it was one of those early models developed when the Jupiter Empire "started drawing plans to conquer Earth", which is generally assumed to be around UC120, with Crux Dogatie's mental state snapping around the time Tetenith was 2-3 years old (so UC118, since she is said to be 15 in Crossbone, but could actually be even older as she later stopped physically aging after 18 ). With UC117 being an established date for the Berga Dalas development , I finaly settled for UC115 as it was more appropriate with recent additions to the lore, with Chapter 1 of Crossbone Love and Peace (UC103) and F90 Fastest Formula (UC115) showing multiple Jupiter Empire agents (Damian Karras and Fonse Kagatie) already scheming on the behalf of the Empire, and being quite active with their own Jovian derived machines (Karras Mono-Arm and the Bolinoak Sammah) - As someone once pointed out, there is no tangible proof that all the Erebado's production was stationed in Io...except there is. 24 of them are identified during the Assault on Io during the original Crossbone Gundam manga, and X11 mechanical files later enforced that "only 20 or so were produced" which confirms that the entire production line was indeed there. That's one of the things I like the most about covering Gundam lore. It is far more than just vomiting detailed content that someone else wrote, and more about being able to connect the dots together between different stuff. - There is still a possibility that the Crossbone Vanguard actually met some Erebados before Io and that these units survived the previous encounters with the pirates. However not only it is unlikely that they would suffer 0 casualties if they had already encountered the Crossbone Vanguard, but their presence on Io was only because Crux Dogatie original biobrain was located there. Considering the Erebados were there as part of their Royal Guard duty, and that the attack on Io was the first window the Crossbone Vanguard had found to strike Dogatie directly, it is thus unlikely the pirates could have encountered Erebados elsewhere.
