The Leo, fragile when piloted by a nobody, but suddenly gets made out of Gundanium alloy when piloted by a main character.

[@zethythonix]

Correct

[@vinceamaro1382]

That's literally plot armor.

[@comradefreedom8275]

@@vinceamaro1382 True.

[@comradefreedom8275]

@@zethythonix Very much plot armor. Lol.

[@AzraelThanatos]

One of the reasons why it's fragile is that it was already on the verge of obsolescence in AC 195...there were other designs that were already being fielded at the time to replace it, and if not for the massive war breaking out, it would have been shifted to the Civilian-Type worker setup and surplussed out. The Taurus, Capricorn, and Aires were all replacement designs that were already ready to go when Operation Meteor was starting, and the timing of it was, partially, to hit before OZ and company could upgrade their forces. One of the comparisons would be taking some Korea/Vietnam era jet fighters and put them up against the most current F-22s with elite pilots...

[@_gungrave_6802]

Imagine if the Tallgeese was mass produced and turned into mobile dolls. The damn thing could literally go far beyond what any of the Gundam pilots were used to seeing it being capable of since the doll version of it wouldn't be limited by the one flaw holding the tallgeese back...the human pilot.

[@OskaIvanovichSmirnov]

Yeah but the cost would be absurd.

[@danhay2505]

@@OskaIvanovichSmirnov but still less than Libra… They could have just kept Barge instead…

[@ProjectShinkai]

I mean zechs originally surpassed it

[@BornToPeeForcedToDrinkIt]

The Leo is severely under-rated due to Wing's reuse of stock footage where it always got blown up. In reality it was a versatile, easy to master MS that performed well with skilled pilots like Zechs, Trieze, and the Gundam pilots. But against the over-powered Gundams themselves it was outclassed. Great video and I love these MS history lessons, especially suits like this that aren't as high-profile.

[@heavyarms55]

This. I was about to comment almost the exact same thing.

[@DIEGhostfish]

I really REALLY hated the scene of a hunch of Leos in a TUNNEL losing to Aries.

[@BalamLandWonder]

Question: What are those two grey circle things on the side of the Leo's head?

[@DIEGhostfish]

@@BalamLandWonder They look a lot like certain kinds of radar.

[@BalamLandWonder]

@@DIEGhostfish Really? I all way thought they were small rocket.

[@vinceamaro1382]

I do like the idea of a Leo with the performance of the Tallgeese, flight capabilities of the Aries, and overall this is basically a Tallgeese-type Leo. If there is an HGAC Aries, I will definitely kitbash it with the Leo.

[@justinandrew5849]

I like the custom Leo's from G-Unit & I love the Tallgeese, but the Serpent mobile suits are my all time favorite grunt MS of the Gundam franchise. Subscribed!

[@zethythonix]

Thanks!

[@jadyndenys7736]

The Virgo BECAUSE it's basically indestructible unless you have a Gundam

[@tommywolmart265]

Yeah, 50 cent's Leo was awesome 🤙

[@Ro7ard]

Great, now I want more HG leos lol Great video as usual tho!

[@zethythonix]

I want the stardust knights Hg

[@DIEGhostfish]

5:57 I would say there are 2 main reasons for the Tragos to have its walking mode. First for mor mountainous terrain where the hover skirt is impratical or even counterproducive. And second to give it some last ditch options if its hover skirt is damaged. It can do some minor self defense, and if it's already near the back of the battle it can retreat. A mobility kill is a serious disaster and having a backup walking form is good. It really needs at least one emergency beamsaber.

[@vidarteygan7028]

just discover this channel and I'm really enjoying this kind of video

[@zethythonix]

Thanks for the support!

[@sim.frischh9781]

As far as i understood the Tragos, the "inferior mobility" refers to Tragos WITH hover unit to WITHOUT hover unit. Compared to the Leo the Tragos STILL is an IMPROVMENT.

[@DIEGhostfish]

It's definitely more sluggish than a Leo in walk mode, but it does let it operate in terrain where the hover unit wouldn't work.

[@tobyandfriends08]

Love the constant improvement on qualities of vids. I bought 5 leo for the meme lol

[@zethythonix]

You are the man

[@mix-up9003]

very nice video dude, your research seems sound and you present the information in a easy digestible manner. keep up the good work dude.

[@christopherchoi4285]

love the part where they said why didnt u just mass produced the tallgease lol... they spent so much time and effort only to make cheap knockoff that get 1shotted by gundams

[@zethythonix]

Yeah... Leo Type IV should’ve been ignored... what’s the point to mass produce the Tallgeese if it’s so expensive

[@BalamLandWonder]

@@zethythonix Question: What are those two grey circle things on the side of the Leo's head?

[@joncandib1721]

I like the main Leo of Gundam Wing, Heero, Dual, and Trowa used those mobile suits against OZ to fight for what's right.

[@MagnoliaSupreme]

Great Vid. Leo’s one of my Fav grunts.

[@hardyboy7408]

Keep Making these we need them.

[@Nomadic_Gaming]

the serpents and serpent custom will always be my fav grunt suit of any gundam series the design is awesome well rounded and just solid as fuck by extension i have to love the leo and just the rest of the wing grunt suits for being just really cool designs and honestly some of the most well designed suits period like gm and zaku lineages are great but in terms of designs you could see being made irl or just designed well enough you can just get their design and how they function the wing grunt suits and the leo lineage really really nailed it

[@AzraelThanatos]

There is also the MO-V Leo which had a few other modifications to it, one of the believed upgrades was replacing the armor with gundanium at some point along with a few "retro" modifications that brought it closer to the original Tallgeese data as a full on custom upgrade for the Leo. There is also the Leo Type V from the Mars Century stuff along with the drone Leo. Back in the AC part of the timeline, you also have the Leo Civilian Type which could be configured in a lot of different ways, and was a civilian de-milled version of the Leo that was built from the surplus Leos after the end of the series.

[@anwenlokier2292]

In my school vr game there is a veriont of the Leo called the griffet a mobile armour Pacificly a Leo only mobile armour it where it a quardapedal mobile armour that can work in earth and space and it's base on a Griffen there where 15 made due to the cost ( Holly moly it's expensive) and unfortunately all where impounded by galahorn ARIANHROD FLEET for it was in MCgalise fareed side but 1 was stolen by a revolutionary soldier and then was destroyed by reborn goalius and the Pokémon mew ( In the game after goalius was killed by chainsaw man the Pokémon mew took his place so to help out )

[@Giga_Guncannon-em4lo]

I love the Trago’s MS mode so much! It sucks that it’s useless and there isn’t a model kit of it.

[@vinceamaro1382]

As for the Greif, it should've been an ace unit for Zechs before he pilots the Tallgeese, making the comparison of the Tallgeese's speed to the Greif more sensible.

[@zethythonix]

well greif is a thing in FT, so of course the settings are very messy

[@donovanbradford8231]

Awesome video a favorite of mine growing up as a kid. I still find it weird that what I always thought to be a pistol and rifle turned out to be a beam gunn. That struck me as odd because beam weapons were the only thing effective against the Gundams yet the ones used by the Leo has no effect. And a Leo didn't use the Torres mega laser or the shoulder mounted cannons, nothing really worked in battle for the Leos. Maybe it's a dubbing error that just stuck all these years later.

[@LonePear]

Just finished the RG Zeong, that could be an interesting history video. Especially after recently seeing a thunderbolt version of the suit (or is it a mobile armor?)

The Tragos even in MS form was a better ground combatant than the Leo. It was only weaker than the leo when it came to Melee ability. The Leo IV Griff used thrusters based on the Aries and a cannon refined from the Tragos.
