The Destroy Gundam started out as a Boss and ended up becoming the "Boss once you Unlocked him"

More like boss doesn’t bother to change tactics. The Destroy only knows how to do one thing and once everyone knows it, it’s an easy boss to deal with.

It has a crippling weakness to melee weapons, since its shields don't stop their propulsion. Anti-ship swords have a massive physical component and are propelled by their wielder MS, which allows them to push through the shields, and beam sabers are the same but to a lesser extent (they lack the mass of the ASS-type swords' big chunk of metal behind the blade, but they're still being propelled by the MS that wields them). And Legend's two big DRAGOON units have beam spikes, making them basically jet-propelled bayonnets; they can just power through the shield. End result is that it stops beam weapons & unpowered kinetic projectiles just fine, because they waste their momentum on a shield they can't penetrate, but anything that can just add _more_ momentum after hitting the shield can power through it; they don't stand up to sustained pressure. (For a _DBZ_ comparison, they could tank a Spirit Bomb because it would hit the shield, push a bit, and explode, but a Kamehameha would just keep pushing until it pushes through the shield.) Add to this that it's big and slow, and thus has problems with small, agile powerhouse units (like most Gundams), and that its armament & defenses are split between its two modes (it can't use the forehead shield or backpack long-barrel cannons in MS mode, and can't use its CIWS (anti-missile machine guns -that are mainly just there to spark uselessly against PS Armor- ) or the chest & mouth blasters in MA mode), and it's a very flawed platform that only really functions as a moving turret and red-shirt killer. Sure, it can use its arm guns & shields in either mode, and the 20 beam guns on the backpack's rim don't care which mode it's in, but that's not much. It's designed to kill its target from an extreme distance with its howitzers, first and foremost; it only really has an MS mode -as an homage to the Psycho Gundam- to try to defend itself against anything that gets too close to aim the big guns at, and that's a weakness that a fast suit with any half-competent pilot can _easily_ take advantage of. (Especially since the chest guns don't have an anti-beam coating and don't handle damage all that well, and the cockpit seems to be surprisingly unarmoured for something of that size. Not only do self-propelled and melee weapons punch through the shields, the mecha's entire torso is a big honkin' weak point they can hit for massive damage!) Really, the underlying issue is that a weapons platform like that is supposed to be escorted by a squad of smaller, more agile fighters to defend it. It's not fast enough to reliably land a hit on something as fast as Freedom, Impulse, or Destiny, and also has a big glaring weakness to speedy units like them, so it should be surrounded by a whole host of Windams equipped with Jet and/or IWSP Striker Packs, and not just Neo & the fireworks squad. Just think of it like sending a bomber deep into enemy territory, without a fighter squad to dogfight the enemy fighters that want to shoot it down, and the Destroy becoming useless the instant they figure out how to take down the first one makes a ton of sense.

@@MrOmegatronicthis right here The Destory Gundam act as a giant weapons platform. It has almost no ability to engage in melee. Its basically build to wipe put bases or in this case, cities. Compare him to the Sword Strike, Forbidden, Exia, or Ahead Sakigake, all these suits and purpose build for melee range, just look at their weapon sustems.

Are you sure? The power requirements for the propulsion systems and the fire rate of that ludicrous weapons array (most of which are energy weapons) basically demand nuclear power, even with the crazy power plants and super-batteries available in this universe. My reasoning is that the Minerva and Archangel are both lower tonnage because of the internal hangar space and use their energy weapons sparingly. The increased mass of the Destroy means the propulsion systems require more energy. As for the weapons, think about how many kinetic guns and missiles each ship fires. The Destroy basically fires every energy weapon several times per minute. Those Quad canons are portrayed as equivalent to the Positron Canons aboard the Minerva and Archangel. The array of beam weapons around the saucer OTK mobile suits, so they have to be at least as powerful as the Archangel's main guns (the green beams above the catapults). The Phase Shift armor and the magnetic deflector that bends incoming fire are both very power-hungry systems. On top of that, physics demands those shields have an output equal to anything they can stop. Don't forget, the Earth Forces have had N-Jammer Canceller tech since before the beginning of this series. La Cruse had Flaye deliver that directly to the Earth Forces Admiralty near the end of Seed. As I recall, they attempted 2 mass nuclear strikes. The first was foiled when Kira aided ZAFT to shoot down all the missiles in Seed. And the second was Uno Reversed with the deployment of the Neutron Stampeder during Destiny.

Destroy Gundam. Capable of annihilating entire cities and armies. A literal walking weapon of mass destruction. If allowed to engage at an appropriate distance for an artillery unit. For all its power, the Destroy has NO true close range options for close combat, this is why Sting and Neo escorted Stella’s Destroy. Not only that but Stella was outright stated to be the Destroy’s most suitable pilot so it stands to reason that Sting wouldn’t be as good a pilot as Stella, let alone the pilots of the other Destroy’s seen. Another point is that post-Stella, every Destroy was engaged by not only ZAFT’s best mobile suits in their entire army but they were piloted by ZAFT’s best pilots who also had first-hand knowledge of what the Destroy’s were capable of. Shinn, during the battle against the EA’s main base (I think, I can’t remember the name) was piloting a mobile suit that was practically the perfect counter to the Destroy while on the moon, Rey had weapons that outright ignored the Destroy’s defences. So in conclusion, the Destroy was made out to be a joke because after its debut, it had everything going against it. But if allowed to operate in its element. It will more than live up to its name.

Close Range is it's weakness but good luck *getting* to close range. In the PS2 game _Rengou vs ZAFT 2 Plus_ , the Destroy in the hand of a player is almost unbeatable because it's in MA mode or Mobile Fortress stance... The _Big Zam_ mode, it cannot be harmed at all by ranged weapons and it's melee attack is a corkscrew twirl. Plus it can launch it's arms away to deal additional damage.

I know SEED Destiny was absolute garbage but no one can deny that Stella was one of the best characters. She was traumatized so badly but was honestly an innocent girl. She was used and abused for war which is a shame because her gentle innocent nature shows only a few times. It's stained and tainted by the horrible things she does in the Destroy. It's a shame she never got a second chance. One of the saddest anime moments was her dying.
