Hyaku Shiki Development History

[@kakarot197]

The first 1,000 people to use this link will get a 1 month free trial of Skillshare: skl.sh/kakarot19711211 Kakarot’s Notes: I accidently say the modelnumber of the Hyaku Shiki’s Beam Rifle as “BF-M-87”, instead of “BR-M-87”. It’s written correctly in the specs. I’ve seen a lot of conflicting information on the weapons, and I went with the information that sounded the most legit, was the most recent and that I could at least somewhat confirm. (e.g. the pulse laser guns being head mounted or the shoulder mounted nerf gun being a beam gatling gun) As a result, this could change in the future when/if more detailed (and official) information is released on these machines. Also, sources on the Hyaku Shiki Kai Mass Production Type don’t seem to list the 2 head mounted Pulse Laser Guns as parts of its weapons, but most depictions (including the model kit) do seem to have 2 protrusions in the head where they would be (Identical to their placement on the Hyaku Shiki Kai). This is why I decided to have them as part of its weaponry, but added Unconfirmed. It’s not out of the question that they were removed to save costs for mass production. The Epsy Gundam’s fixed weapon is listed as ペンシルロック (penshirurokku). I tried googling to see if I could find anything other than the (in my opinion) quite weird sounding/looking “Pencil Rock”. All I could find was a weapon of Evangelion unit 02 that’s written the same in Japanese in is Romanized as Pencil Roc. Still not ideal, but I at least think it looks a bit nicer in writing. I swear, every time I think “let’s do a quick video on X”, I always end up falling down some rabbit hole.

[@crystalclearchaos5387]

I was wondering that aswell is it just a zeta with the appearance of the other suit and not actually part of its development history?

[@DarkAnon100]

@@crystalclearchaos5387 Actually, The Delta Plus is directly derived from the Delta, rather that Evolving from the Hyaku Shiki, so it's more of a Sister Unit in this sense rather than a Evolution of the Hyaku Shiki (even tho they clearly use the Data from the Hyaku Shiki to build the Delta Plus)

[@doomzilla3568]

I always liked the Hyaku Shiki. It's the closest to a Gundam Char would ever use (other than the mk ii he used briefly). Despite being a watered-down Delta Gundam, it's a very cool design with good amount of weapons that keeps it a very versatile machine. The fact it survived both major wars is a testament to how badass this suit is.

[@MYTHGUNDAM]

Its funny because in Zeta, Amuro uses a Mono-eye MS

What about the sazabi? While it was DEFINITELY not a Gundam in appearance, it definitely had the capability, and some attributes of one.

[@MrJustintyang]

Hey, Kakarot. If possible, could you talk about Anaheim Electronic's suspicious history? Because when you look at the mobile suits they have developed, you will notice that they have developed mobile suits on either side of the opposition. For example, in Char's Counterattack, they created the Nu Gundam and the Jegans for Londo Bell, but they also made the Geara Doga and Sazabi for Neo Zeon as well.

[@hippoace]

Haha it is an open secret known by all sides. I think it was explored abit in Stardust Memories...generally snide remarks are made in alot of the series....

[@jude0985]

well that's because after the one year war has passed. Anaheim Electronic also came into contact with former Zeon engineer n scientist which then collaborated to create new mobile suit

[@MrJustintyang]

@@hippoace I just want to see how big this tomfoolery got. Because I've seen their shenanigans go past Unicorn, so I want a sort of full spectrum of what they did in UC.

[@MrJustintyang]

@@jude0985 That is correct, but it was AE that accepted the contracts to develop mobile suits. So they did all of this double-crossing for money. So I want to see their influence in the Universal Century that would give them the name of "The Merchants of Death".

The 'theft' of the GP02 comes across A LOT like AE basically handed it over to Zeon.

I have to imagine that the IDE system is a reference to Ideon. The scanning lights of the Hyaku Shiki are pretty similar to the lights that appear on the Ideon's visor. Plus, the name IDE is also the name of the mysterious energy source from Ideon.

[@fishpop]

The anti-beam coating is reflected in GBO2 by the Hyaku-Shiki having a stupidly high beam defense. The Full Armor Hyaku-Shiki Kai, or FAHSK for short, is also in the game and is pretty great. The Zero-Shiki is the game aswell and is ALSO great.

[@Arrowdodger]

I'm surprised you didn't really talk about the Delta Plus, though I guess that's more like a cousin of the Hyaku Shiki than something necessarily directly connected to it.

[@JTMC93]

IIRC the Anti-Beam Coating used by later era mobile suits was refined by using the data of the Hyaku Shiki's coating.

[@justpassingby298]

The FA shiki appears in 0096, last sun, while its true it fought against zeon remnants(it destroyed a bigro with its burst bolt, in tandem with the delta kai) this unit seems to be a repaired MP shiki kai, which fought against titans remnants in devil's nest, the MP shiki kai was destroyed by a psycho gundam attack, taking out the pilot's right eye, but he did survive, becoming a bad ass, who was depicted as literally embodying the spirit of quatro bajeena in the FA shiki

[@justpassingby298]

Sorry, nuclear pulse propulsion? As in Project Orion, drop a nuke behind your spaceship and ride the shockwave, "Whoops sorry nearby space station hope your rad shielding is up to code"? That kind of nuclear pulse propulsion? And they wanted to put that on a mobile suit? Anaheim Electronics is truly insane

[@TacComControl]

Favorite golden mobile suit: The Akatsuki. I want to see an advanced version of it developed and deployed. Akatsuki was basically just the Strike but with a better paint job and a better backpack(Yes, that's hugely oversimplified, but not important), I wanna see the Freedom version of the Akatsuki, or the Strike Freedom version. Thing had the power to be a god machine, but was largely let down by not being allowed to shine enough in its introduction(Cagalli becomes a great military leader by the end of Destiny, but Not a great MS pilot, and sure, Mu La Sleepy kicks ass with it, but we don't get to see NEAR enough of that). Seriously. Gimme a six episode series of Mu just going around wrecking shit with the Akatsuki, and give it a hell of an upgrade.

[@zgmf-x19ainfinitejustice28]

[@Kenny_F91]

I have been waiting for this since the Delta Gundam's video.

[@baileypark6604]

Kakarot, I've got a question about my beloved GM. We see in 0083 that the GM developed into the GM Kai, then the GM Custom, and the GM Quel. We also see in 0080 the Cold Districts Type develop into the GM Command and GM Sniper II. Were the 0080 and 0083 GM families developed separately, or did the GM Command develop into the GM Kai or GM Custom? Lastly, all throughout the original Gundam we see GMs use beam spray guns and a trend toward beam weapons with the Gelgoog late in the One Year War. So why in 0083 do we see many machines return to using machine guns, like the GM Kai and the Gelgoog Marine, then return to using beam weapons with the GM II in Zeta Gundam? Thanks!

[@ramiuschun9288]

For your first question they where developed separately. the GM Type C as it's officially called was a complete redesign using the Gm early type as it's base. The purpose of the Type C was to maximize ease of production, relaiblilty, modification, and production. As for your second it's a mix of reasons. Beam weapons while powerful where slightly impractical due to limited ammunition from the energy capcatior used, once it ran out the weapons became deadweight and left the mobile suit without an effective midrange weapon. This changed with the GP01 and it removable energy capacitor which allowed into reload and was mostl likely the reason that beam rifles went into mass production. The other reason is for fighting inside colonies, beam weapons are more likely to put holes int a colony compared to conventional weapons like the MMP-80 which is likely the reason that the Gelgoog Marine used those as standard weapons over the beam rifle or submachinegun.

[@baileypark6604]

@@ramiuschun9288 Now that I think about it, the Federation may have moved away from the beam spray gun as the military shifted from wartime to counter-insurgency, where a machine gun would be more versatile. With all the variants of the GM, it's not surprising that the Cold Districts D-Type from 0080 and the C-Type from 0083 would be separate families. I guess then the only question would be how the GM Command compared to the GM Type C. I would imagine the GM Type C was at least cheaper and more versatile to be chosen for mass production over the GM Command. Also, I hadn't noticed how much the GM Early from 08th MS Team looked like a C-Type! Thanks for all the great info!
