Early Zaku 1s Vs Early Production Guncannons

[@shinigamikira9469]

Wasnt really a fair fight though. You got Ortega, Gaia, Mash, Ramba Ral, and Char against pilots who haven't fought with movile suits at all. They might be outnumbered 12 to 5 but when you take into account the pilots the outcome was inevitable

[@Freedomcustom]

And with that act of insubordination Gaia destroyed Zeon's ENTIRE minovsky advantage

[@Valarius_J]

Gaia should have been court-martialed over this. His insubordination resulted in the absolute failure of their mission and in the long term severely set back Zeonic R&D.

[@LockeLynx]

If you think about it, the RX-78 Gundam MS fixed a LOT of flaws that these Early Guncannons had and significantly closed the gap between the Feddies and Zeon in MS development. Quite scary that they caught up so fast

[@khorgor]

I hope that Char kid does not make a habit out of shooting space ship bridges

[@harrisonchr]

I still can't believe the opening barrage by the Guncannons didn't do anything, not even a scratch.

[@luxeternity]

Still wishing for that gundam origin remake with this kind of style and animation

[@notaclass-d1822]

something to mention about guncannons made at this point, is that they had less armor and worse weaponry(presumably) than the guncannon from the original series, which was made in tandem with the gundam, using the fighter core technology

[@ckeith9954]

This like pros fighting against newbies first time holding a gun.

[@johnnymarbles6130]

What show is this from

[@CaptainKrabcakes]

The Guncannons excel at medium to long range, whereas the Zakus and Bugu are more fit for close range.

[@LizzieHohenstein]

What's interesting is that depending on the sources, the Guncannons are classified as MBTs.

[@vermillionwing]

Zeon had quality and experience advantage, especially early on.

[@PheonyxJay]

Even though it’s aces vs greenhorns in slower suits, the Zaku 1s had weaker armor than the 2s, and in the opening barrage alone, there should have been at least some damn paint scratching. A broken armor plate, a torn off piece of shoulder armor.

[@MM22966]

I am not a Gundam hardcore fan, but what struck me most was (like real aircraft or tanks), a more powerful engine makes or breaks a design. The huge energy budget of the Minovsky reactors allowed heavier armor, weaponry, and more maneuverability, without compromising any of these aspects in favor of one or another. Just the fact that they can self-deploy over operational ranges without needing a carrier to come directly to the frontline is a huge plus.

[@VB-wf3eq]

I feel Char visits the Cloud district. When he isn't fighting in the wars he's been in

[@elarmino6590]

There are two things i love of this scene

[@redfire1186]

0:40

[@ilhamshobri461]

its bit funny, in other gundam anime, the sharpnel from eplosion alone could simply turn zaku into scrap if that close, let alone the blast.

[@tactknightgaming2066]

Gundam Origin and it's a masterpiece next to Gundam Thunderbolt and Bandit Flower.
