"Moonlight Butterfly" (SYSTEM ∀-99 ∀ Gundam)

The Turn A's on-board nanomachines are capable of a devastating attack known as the "Moonlight Butterfly" (named after the visual appearance of the attack). The Turn A's nanomachines have the ability to disintegrate all artificial matter, and can merge with weather systems to create large ionic storms capable of covering a much wider area. These nanomachines can be used offensively or defensively for all range attack and defense.
Both the Turn A and Turn X are capable of a devastating attack called the "Moonlight Butterfly", where numerous nanomachines are stretched along an I-Field protruding from the back section of the Turn units, creating large, iridescent butterfly wings. This attack can merge with weather systems when inside an atmosphere, multiplying its power by creating ionic storms that can cover a much wider area. The nanomachines can be used for defensive purposes as well as for offensive, such as disintegrating artificial matter and absorbing energy from incoming attacks.

@@DealsFS But we are talking about what is the most powerful Gundam here regardless of the surrounding circumstances that paved the way for their attainment of their respective strongest states. We are talking about the Gundam with the most op ability AT THEIR PEAK STRENGTH . And the Answer is clear, and that is the Crystal unicorn since it is a legit form of the original unicorn. Additionally the fact remains that turn A is still grounded technologically it has no reality warping powers at all both in the anime and the novel. On the other hand, when unicorn Gundam turned into its crystal state Banagher also became a perfect new type whose soul is now fused with crystal unicorn. Also, at the end episode of Gundam unicorn series, unicorn Gundam permanently obtained the power of its crystal form that is why it was able to reverse time and assume its normal greed NT-D mode again. Even in Gundam narrative series it was confirmed that Crystalized Unicorn ALREADY became something beyond human comprehension. Thus, in a fight between turn A and Crystalized Unicorn, Cyrstalized unicorn will be able to easily shutdown not only Turn A itself but its nanomachines as well. Remember that it is a hard Fact that Turn A Gundam has no defense against reality warping ability and even time manipulation. Thus it will be shutdown by Crystalized unicorn with just a wave of its hand.

[@DealsFS]

​@@thomasiiilacs1355 If we're talking peak strength than may I pull out the dubiously canon Dark History version of the Turn-A seen in a few games and a novel? That version of the Turn-A is shown to have a psycommu system and various reality warping abilities such as long distance teleportation and 'channeling the "life force" of the Earth'. Even disregarding the Dark History Turn A we can't exactly say if the Unicorn could shut down the Nanomachines since what Nanomachines exactly are and all of what they can do are somewhat vague. The Nanomachines make it so the Turn-A can self recover, but how? The Nanomachines are what make up the moonlight butterfly which turns artificial matter to dust and create ionic hurricanes, but how? We can't immediately rule out the Turn-A because there are lots of unknowns in it's abilities, same also goes for the Unicorn considering things done by the the Phenex. The Phenex literally just disappeared from reality for a while and was able to be piloted by dead people.

[@user-uv5ld3cx5t]

The Unicorn novel series and animation series were wayyyyyyy after Turn A was written and aired. Tomino most likely never imagined the Newtypes antics would be so massively enlarged and written as if they are Godlike to the point they can manipulate time. The Turn A Gundam in its original story was said to be a reverse engineered product (albeit an incomplete and not fully successful as they were not advanced enough despite being millennia after the UC or other series' era) of the Turn X who was left abandoned and floated in space for unknown amounts of time. In fear of the fact that there is a civilization so well beyond human understanding technologically they argued if they should reset civilization or further enhance their civilization in order to catch up as soon as possible, and the side arguing for civilization reset won with their Turn A.

But could be wrong there. It may be upsetting and you may not like it, but that metal mustache is what peak gundam performance looks like. Honestly, as someone who doesn't enjoy other serieses as much as the Universal Century, and even iffy on things like Unicorn/Narrative, I am 100% okay with the Turn A canon of all gundam universes collapsing into a singularity and the Turn A and Turn X being the apex of technology. It diffuses all the "Who is the strongest? Barbatos? Exia? God gundam?" to just being "Turn A, Turn A is the strongest, no discussion, no argument. Like whatever one you like, Turn A is there to close the book before people start getting mad about disagreements"

[@nitrostriker9369]

It was stated that only a newtype could fully bring out the Turn A's full potential, I wonder if that implies that it is capable of doing the same weird stuff the Unicorn Gundams were able to do if it had the right pilot controlling it. That would be terrifying lol Also, I feel like it would definitely be able to beat the crystallized Unicorn if it was in the state it was during the Dark History, especially if you put whoever it was that was piloting it during that time into consideration. The pilot was able to viciously beat the Turn X, which was supposed to be far superior spec wise, so badly to the point where it's auto repair systems weren't able to fix it and it permanently changed the Turn X's appearance. Whoever that pilot was, they were definitely an absolute monster.

[@mrbuttocks6772]

No, it wouldn't. The Unicorn could literally fuck with time, it has neither been stated/implied or show that the Turn A could come even close to that level of hax. Also in regards to your later bit about the Turn A beating the X, its regularly shown across all the Gundam timelines that the suit isn't 'that' important of a factor, its mostly up to the pilot to make the best of the machine. So we could assume that the pilot of the Turn A at that time was MUCH more competent than the pilot of the Turn X.

[@savagemaelstrom9645]

@@mrbuttocks6772 Its not canon to animation, but in SD Gundam G-Generation Genesis, the Turn A (Dark History) is the ultimate challenge (its stats also dwarf the crystal unicorn's by magnitudes) and it is seen generating perfect copies of MS (Including the Unicorn) Not canon, take from it what you will, but as Sunrise is now Bandai Namco Filmworks, and Bandai-Namco was 100% fine having it do those things in game, that could be somewhat telling. It also depends on how you want to interpret it, but seeing as newtype based weapons like psycommu technology are on a steady decline post Unicorn, and units like the F91 are capable of nearly FTL speeds (Leaving afterimages with mass) that the Unicorn, while impressive, does ultimately fall into obsolescence canonically. Its not like the Unicorn was a one of a kind fluke, they built three of them, but we don't see anything resembling them going forward. And the Turn A falls into the weird "if its not explicitly stated that the Turn A can't do a thing, then its on the table." A bigger question is what to do with G-Reco, as its in a vague schrodinger position of being both 500 years after the universal century (according to the crew working on it and sunrise at the time of release) and 500 years after Turn A (according to Tomino, but Tomino can also be notoriously moody and spiteful, so its entirely possible he decided this just to muddy the waters and make things difficult for Sunrise)

The difference between Real and Super robots can get murky. The best way to understand it is that Super robots are characters in their own right and like super heroes. In contrast, Real robots are military equipment, and while people can form an attachment with it, its more akin to a tank or fighter craft than another character in the show. How the original Mobile Suit Gundam treated the titular RX-78-2 Gundam and other mecha was radically different compared to the previous Super robot anime of the past, and spawned the Real robot anime genre. Some anime take it even further into realism like VOTOMS, while others take more fantastical elements and magic like Aura Battler Dunbine.

Even if theoretically they can be beaten by newer stuff they would retroactively get the same power and win. In the case of the Turn A since its Dark Century happened years after stuff like 00's movie, Unicorn and even Witch from Mercury(technically we can even treat it as a precursor the the moonlight butterfly) are all included in the Turn A. Its just going to be moved AFTER the events of all those series to make sense in canon

@@TsuyoHen Apparently Turn-A can do all that too. Then again Turn-A is a newtype weapon sytem made at the very end of the universal century hundreds of if not more years later, stands to reason the Turn-A would be more advanced in every way than an antiquated Unicorn Gundam. From the wiki. gundam.fandom.com/wiki/SYSTEM_%E2%88%80-99_%E2%88%80_Gundam "Black History Turn A" The original version of the Turn A used during the Black History. This unit is featured in various novels and games, and was originally created for Harutoshi Fukui's novelization. A Newtype pilot is required to unlock the full powers of this Turn A, and this includes several abilities not seen in the show, such as teleportation (the furthest distance being from the Earth to the Moon in the Fukui noveliation) of itself, its weapons, and even the beams from its rifle; it's also revealed to have a Psycommu System that is capable of concentrating the wills of numerous people and lifeforms, with the Light of Life Chronicle UC special implying the system is capable of generating miracles like Axis Shock." The Light of Life Chronicle is what this footage was from btw.

[@epsilonxvi5675]

the pilot did

[@damoncheong4333]

It all started because of the discovery of Turn X, which was created by extrasolar humans who possessed technologies far advanced than what the Earth sphere had at that time. The humans in the Earth sphere feared of invasion by this civilization and reverse engineered the Turn X's system and tech (it was likely only a partial success, which would explain their mad plan after this), and combined them with their best tech to make the Turn A. Sometime after this, two forces in the Earth sphere formed, the Earthlings who owned the Turn A wanted to reset and restart civilization, and the Moonrace with their Turn X (according the Official Gundam Perfect File, Turn X was deployed by the Moonrace to fight against the powers of the Earth in the final conflict towards the end of Dark History) opposed this and argued that they should instead further advance their own tech. These two forces started a war that ended with Turn X losing and Turn A erasing the civilizations on Earth. The Turn A and X were then buried in the mountain cycles on the Earth and the Moon, respectively and they would stay buried until the events in the Turn A Gundam.

@@thedeadman4481 It's ironic I'd say, because the invasion that they feared never did come, and it was their own paranoia that brought them to their doom.

Light of Life Chronicle, 40 mins or so, pays homage to all the gundam shows; also showed some early footage of Hathaway's Flash and the Moon Gundam Manga. Story wise Amuro and Lala's newtype ghosts view turn-a ending the universal century, amuro feels like everything he fought for was for nothing but lala shows that while humanity will rise again and make the same mistakes again and again (the alternate gundam stories) eventually humanity will break the cycle (Turn-A it's self). Basically it just adds the new shows to the Dark History, implying Turn-A has been resetting human civilization after every gundam series.
