Gundam X & G-Falcon Development History

[@kakarot197]

Merry Gundam X-Mas! Also, I'm always conflicted on how to pronounce Garrod's name Ga-Road (like the anime) Ga-Rod (How you'd usually pronounce it, I think)

[@ClassicQuarterGamePlays]

❤one of my most fav Gundams series.GX upgrade to Double X sweet, but they realy animated the Efreet very well in this series God speed Kakarot197 keep up the super videos. Happy new years🎉

[@fermarcruz8542]

As a Filipino who watched the Tagalog dub (shown in the Philippines in 1999), I stuck with Garodo due to it being the pronunciation in the Tagalog dub BUT when I played SD Gundam G Generation F, I stood corrected (it was spelled as Garrod in the few English texts of that purely Japanese game).

[@yoshikagekira9781]

Personally I heard it more like "Garret" when you said it, great video either way, keep them coming 💙

Man, I certainly LOVE the GX, be it the divider or the OG, I simply adore its design, I love after war gundam X, sad that it doesn't get the love it deserves, its story and designs are simply awesome

[@Tuning3434]

Yeah, it don't know what it is but for me it had a real nice atmosphere that really grabbed me compared to other Gundam series, even though it was one of the last I've watched. I think it was very refreshing to have an optimistic and energetic protagonist for once, especially compared the contemporary pretty-boy-with-issues Heero Yui who is just a bit to much 90s edge lord to be taken to serious.

[@joshuafrias2415]

We're almost one step closer to getting that Gundam Sentinel episode. The ALICE system is an interesting system, even if it is not like a bio-computer in the later series. Plus ExS Gundam is best Gundam IMO.

One of my favorite facts about the Gundam X is that the beam saber-satellite cannon placement was a Sasaki Kojirou reference, with the saber being the katana and the cannon being the sheathe.

The tech used for how the GX receives power is actually real. Rectennas can convert microwaves into electrical power. Dunno how Garrod survives it, though. High powered microwaves has a lot of ionizing radiation. And his cockpit is right under the beam's receiver.

[@Z-000R0]

they probably does account for that and heavily NBC proof the cockpit to make sure the pilot don't get cook by the recharge beam

[@glitchedmatrix55]

​@Z-000R0 Yeah, that's kinda what I thought.

[@MyWifeistheMC]

What baffles me even further is the general lack of a seatbelt seen (or not seen) throughout Gundam X. Garrod, Wits, Roybea, Jamill, even Enil El would pilot their mobile suits in plain clothes with no seatbelt in sight!

[@matteste]

They probably employ the same kind of protection your own microwave makes use of to keep the pilot from getting cooked.

[@Xenobears]

After War Gundam X’s colony drop operation was hilariously overkill-so many colonies got dropped at the same time that it’s hard to believe anything survived the war.

[@bthsr7113]

I HAVE to believe they were lighter and smaller than the ones Zeon was oh so fond of dropping in the OYW and following years. Otherwise the death and destruction would be far more encompassing and the survivors far fewer.

[@REALMARCHINADER]

@@bthsr7113 They aren't. The only reason the Earth even survived ironically enough was because the other Colonies were destroyed by the explosions of the other colonies that already made landfall.

[@terradrone3905]

I still find the entire concept of dropping whole colonies to make a point so funny and dumb since you'd be able to achieve the same effect by just redirecting asteroids from the asteroid belt into a collision course for far cheaper, and you don't lose your colony in the process (and as a counterpoint the UNE defense strategy would be more effective if they just ditched the whole Gundam part of it and just turn it into an array of satellite cannons, maybe they could've thwarted the colony drop had they just done that). But hey, it ain't Gundam if you're not dropping a giant metal tube onto the planet I guess x'D

I love the G-Falcon. It has that charming aesthetic of a protagonist fighter from an old school arcade shoot'em'up while fulfilling a similar role of the G-Defenser from Zeta. Pala was a lot of fun too, vibrant gutsy tomboy aces are a thing Gundam needs more of. It's a real shame that she and the Falcon appeared when the Gundam X's production was rushing its conclusion.

[@DashsChannel]

Glad I wasn't the only one who thinks the G-Falcon looks straight out of a 90s shmup

[@doomzilla3568]

Great video on the Gundam X, the Double X, and the G Falcon (alongside variants of the GX)!!! The Double X is tied with the Strike Noir as my personal favorite gundam. Not only it is a powerful machine that succeeded the original X, but how Garrod brilliantly used the Twin Satellite Cannons in many advantages. Case in point, Garrod demonstrated the power by using it in a extreme distance he planned to snipe the Colony Cannon with his in a brilliant showmanship that shows Garrod as genius trickster. Also give the X divider a shout out as well since it is one hell of a versatile machine with the upgrades, that harmonica cannon is pure badass!!!

[@EcoHound]

To me, the Shield Buster Rifle seemed very impractical Can only either attack or defend and it takes a second to change between the two But that feels deliberate to me and I like that. The entire point of the Gundam X was to house and aim the Satellite Cannon, it really feels like the engineers just added the Shield Buster Rifle at the last minute to check off some boxes on a list to say it's fully outfitted for combat in general And that's charming to me

[@matteste]

That was the same impression I got, hence why the whole idea was scrapped in subsequent designs.

[@allenusison3124]

16:17 I wonder why. The DX would have had its own G-Con, but Garrod's legendary Gundamjacking skills basically threw that into the fire with the rest of the base from a Twin Satellite Cannon blast.

[@Darkthal]

The Double X is not unit one. It’s a brand new unit. (The Double X was a great improvement over its GX-9900 Gundam X predecessor. It mounted a much more powerful twin satellite cannon, as well as improved hyper beam swords and a wide variety of hand armaments. However, one critical difference between the Double X and the GX was its lack of a Flash System; instead, the recorded brainwaves of Jamil Neate - stored in the computer of his wrecked original Gundam X which was recovered by the New U.N.E. - were recorded in the Double X’s control computer, allowing a non-Newtype pilot to activate the satellite system and fire the Double X’s twin satellite cannon.)

[@strf90105]

The craziest part is, the Microwave power transmission system does exist in real life, and has been put to use on projects. Initial concepts involved solar panel satellites beaming down microwave to earth, where it would be received by a Rectenna(rectifying antenna) which would turn the microwave into DC power for practical space-to-earth power transmission. However, that concept never happened, and instead in the 80's the Canadians made SHARP(Stationary High Altitude Relay Platform) which was a UAV that would hover in high altitude for months and act as a radio relay with power being beamed up from an array of microwave emitter antennas with mechanical tilt to follow the UAV. It was supposed to move onto Phased-Array microwave emitter to increase reliability, but mice ate the prototype and it got cancelled. Japan would go on to create its successor, MILAX(MIcrowave Lifted Airplane eXperiment) which did use a phased array emitter mounted on the roof of a van to constantly follow and power a UAV, allowing it to fly long distance on wireless energy.

[@PenguinMasterKnight]

The Double X will never not be my favorite Gundam, nothing so far has topped it, but there's been some that come close to at least being as cool looking as it, hell it's so cool my own custom Gundam, the Eclipse Gundam (YESI know there's one in Seed, but I thought of this far before I knew about that) is based off it but taken to the extreme with like, 4 Cannons for maximum carnage, LOL.

As someone whose favorite AU is not CE, I sincerely hope this movie gives all the long neglected fans absolutely everything they want out of it.

[@Felix24148]

If I recall from the anime correctly, GX Unit 1 was actually still somewhat intact. I remember a scene from the anime where it's wreckage was connected to the DX with cables to transfer the DOME registry for the satellite system. And it that's the case, then only some of GX Unit 1's parts were used in the DX instead of completely recycling Unit 1, and the DX's frame was indeed entirely a new construct. Just based off the original design. If I recall while the DX fought the Frost Brothers, it showed it's superior physical strength by breaking bonds that used to hold the GX. Meaning the DX's frame wasn't a carbon copy. It was clearly reinforced.

[@n0fairzer0]
