I like UC as much as most, but man, Bandai has crammed so many games, mangas, etc, into limited space that it has sometimes led to one really incoherent setting.

Very true. The Pale Riders are incredibly edgy and are even more powerful than the RX-78-2, yet they exist in the same timeframe.

[@arx3516]

It's because while the main installments are 6, covering quite a few decades, Bandai chose to focus mainly on the One Year War. It's the same problem with all anime franchise, the producers try to milk the fan favourite parts, narrative coherence be damned.

"The SINGLE mobile suit" as the camera pans past Guntank and Guncannon was priceless

[@Squiggles01]

They helped, but they were like anti-infantry tanks, the Gundam was the Tank made to fight other tanks! Think of the Guntank as a TD, the Guncannon is a M3 Lee and the Gundam is an M47 Patton. Sure the panzer 2 and 3 are going to see the TD and the Lee, but they are going to be pissing themselves as they scramble to kill the Patton because they were stupidly desperate to take down the biggest threat on the battlefield!

That's exactly what they were trying to do with the gundam, but the reentry detour that the White Base had to take delayed that. At least that's what I'm guessing, since the GMs were ready to go almost immediately after Jaburo got access to the gundam's data.

Concept wise it could if it's defenses were like that of say the juaggo, which at the time of the one year war would be almost unbeatable, and had fire power that could wreck a good group of enemy mobile suits and ships. However if you're still wanting mobility behind it then it's not gonna work, at that point you may as well make it like the g3 Gundam or the Gundam Alex.

[@ВасилийМорозов-л7х]

There's some lore that the FA project underwent multiple design iterations including a 'mobile armour' version similar to B-Parts-equipped Gundam before the FA-78 was designed, so something like the Thunderbolt version is quite plausible ad one of the turned-down designs.

Hell of a lot of Gundams to throw into a 1 year time frame. Especially when it wasnt til Sept that the events of MGS begin. You know when the Feds were first supposed to start fielding their own MS. And with this many Gundams in development you'd think a few dozen leaks of their existence and armament wouldve been known to Zeon

Guess the Blue Destiny Unit 0 doesn't count since that was more of a GM. In an alternate universe versions of events, Casval gains access to a custom made RX-78 clone. Another alternate version is the RX-78-Z1. In Gundam 0079: The War for Earth, the RX-78-2 temporarily gets the treads of the Guntank. A slightly different version with its own story of how Amuro gets access to it is the G40 version. While the last one is far removed, the Amakusa literally has data of Amuro's fighting style.

[@AmuroRay007]

I never really found it lore breaking that there seemed to be so many Gundams during the One-Year War. The Gundam had more than proved its effectiveness in battle, completely outperforming anything Zeon could throw at it, so it’s only natural that the Federation would want many more, and would want more specialized variants as the Gundam didn’t excel in any particular function. While expensive to produce, the Federation definitely did have the resources to produce all these Gundams, though that likely contributed to their slow economic and military recovery after the war. So me personally I do believe all these Gundams existed and were fielded during the war. Also also, I consider Gundam Thunderbolt, specifically the anime, canon to the U.C.

[@redlightu]

So going by the mainline One Year War. 4 Test units that likely never saw combat (Prototype Gundam, Proto Alex, G-IV, and G-3) 3 units that were never actually built (Perfect Gundam, Real Type, and FA Gundam Ground) 2 units whose existence is debatable (FA Gundam and FA Alex) 1 unit that didn't really operate until after OYW (7th Gundam) So overall 9 "Gundam" types (including the 3 Pixy units), 3 Blue Destiny units, and over 20 Gundam Ground Types saw actual combat in the OYW. Though technically the Alex only fought in Side 6, where it was damaged. There's also the 4 "Riders".

[@magnatcleo2043]

Not to mention that there is apparently some debate on whether the Pixy units are even canon, for some reason. So depending on how you view that, it could shorten the list further. On a side note, the FA Alex also counts as a "not used until after the One Year War" design in the Katana manga, since it was design at the same time as the Chobam armor but wasn't built until UC 0084.

[@lordforgetful]

[@twelfthknight]

Honestly, given the high productivity of UC manufacturing making most of these Gundams within a few months isn't implausible especially as several are just data in a Federation computer somewhere. Look at the massive web of development the Titan's took just to get us to the Gundam Mk II, or Zeon's prolific output of any machine their heart's desired. For me, though, I would've been more enthusiastic with GMs as the hero machines for much of these side-stories. Like, the 08th MS Team could've piloted GMs customized for the SEA front and I don't think we'd be complaining.

Just have the Ground type's, Alex, and original RX's during the OYW, and have most be made after it, during the mopping up of Zeon remnants. that probably just sounded like some sort of fanfiction.

[@Dakitty]

Good vid! Nao moar what if char ate lead?

[@SoulstrikerV]

Any OYW Gundam that underperforms is a stain to the White Devil reputation the RX-78-2 cemented in the hearts of Zeons. Doesn't matter how many they produce, but if Gundams start falling easily in combat here and there, the Zeon soldiers' morale will go up significantly, which beats the purpose of spamming the battlefield with more Gundams after the White Devil planted the idea that Gundams are to be feared. I'm not targeting any particular unit here. Just my thoughts.

[@Gettergettergetter]

Not sure if it counts, but the Gunboy Wilbur from the For the Barrel novel is an alternative version of a RX-78-2, despite not being called a gundam. It may be an obscure novel, that was only available thru Newtype, but it's still an official project. Also the design is very unique, especially compared to the original.

[@viperson9818]

I love it how the Ground Gundams were made of spare parts and at the end many of them no longer look like the base models and became their own looking gundam.

[@drongodyle3156]

Yeah. Ground Gundams became for the federation what the Efreet was for Zeon. Both very capable suits that only saw limited production despite, and ended up having many units become completely unique due to lack of parts. Also funny enough they were both used as each side's test-beds for the Exam system too. Only 8 Efreets were made, of which 4 are known to became unique custom suits (Custom, Shneid, Nacht, and Jager) Meanwhile 20 Ground Gundams were produced, and at least 7 ended up being modified to varying degrees (the Ez8, Re-Rage, Slaive Wraith, 3 blue destiny units, and Karen's "GM head" unit)

If we want to get into more post war fates, a Heavy Gundam got outfitted with a Bio-sensor and upgraded all around in the Johnny Ridden manga.

[@TacComControl]

The fun thing to think about with the word Gundam is how it went from being briefly a symbol of Hope, to a symbol of terrible things to come. Everywhere the Gundam went, bad things happened. Even if it stopped the bad things, there would still be countless deaths and LOTS of suffering. And every Gundam after that, the problem only ever got worse. Which is why by the time Unicorn happened, when it transformed into a Gundam.... No one was excited. The kids were at best completely Done, and everyone else was just quiet. Even Mineva approached it very much as a case of "Awh fuck". The storytelling of the Gundam being "The savior" but also "The harbinger of bad things" is kind of amazing. It's like "WE'RE HERE TO SAVE YOU!" "Oh Yaaaaay, the catholics are here!" "FROM YOURSELVES!" "Oh shit, the catholics are here."

Makes you wonder if Amuro was the actually the person to make the gundam famous. Like when a zeon soldier talks about how scary the gundam is, are they referring to Amuro's or another one?

[@sean.a.s7234]

Probably both, it's like how sometimes in mythology or folktales other peoples accomplishments get attributed to a single person. In this case it's "The White Devil" of the Federation.

[@FOXZILLA5734]

While there where more gundams in the OYW the RX 78-2 is the one that had the biggest impact on UC as a whole.

[@Ko-165]

You forgot about Rust Horizon’s Gundam- Code named: “Rust” it’s a Gundam made from stolen spare parts from project V to be used by Zeon forces.

[@angellara7040]

Wait so are the riders not gundams?

Always have love for tge Mudrock Gundam as I still enjoy playing Gundam Zeonic Front and that along with Lt. Agure are the main boss villain of the game.

[@sean.a.s7234]

The Federation sure loved their Full Armor configurations Also does this mean the FA Unicorn should be "Full Armed" instead of "Full Armor"?

[@ArmouredProductions]

If *GM* stands for *G* undam *M* ass-Produced meaning all GMs are a downgraded mass produced Gundam, then wouldn't an upgraded GM just be a Gundam? So the Marine Gundam is legitimate even if its an upgraded Aqua GM, since GMs are just downgraded Gundams anyway.

[@sharp49]

Personal headcannon of gundams that plausibly exist during the OYW: RX-78-2 Gundam RX-79G Gundam Ground Type Gundam Ez8 Blue Destiny Unit 1/2/3 NT-1 Alex Full Armor Gundam Thunderbolt ver - although this might be iffy

[@g1convoy54]

I was watching Gundam 0083 and I was thinking about the GP03 the frame and the mobility of the suit How Kou was having a hard time using it. It was much like the Alex and ment for a Newtype maybe even for Amuro Ray to Plot The Reason why I made this theory that GP03 was meant for a Amuro or a NewType like Amuro to test the Unit When the Albion crew went to pick up the Gundam they were Stopped from taking to fight the Deilza fleet It is why I think GP03 was a Not meant for someone like Kou who is an Old type but Amuro a Newtype What you think

[@MrDarksol]

Rx78 2:Yeah this gundam is definitely iconic and is a soild mobile suit for Amuro. Other versions either before, during or after the war:......Uhhhhhhh, ok Bandai and or the Federation calm down with the gundams. The ground Gundams are pretty much weak, you can't go any higher then this. Later on:SERIOUSLY WHY ARE THERE SO MANY FULL ARMOR VERSIONS!? Like jesus, that is a lot of gundams and half of these make no sense. At least the Thunderbolt one and the origin ones are on a different plane so that is ok but damn, do they love the gundam lol.

[@andrewthielmann5342]

Wha...hold on. 7th Gundam wasn't piloted by Cheri. It was piloted by Hughes. I mean Cheri piloted it like...once, but then you could argue that Sayla was the pilot of Rx-78-2. Also *cough*, A.L.E.x. Armored Layer Examination. The NT-1 was intended for the testing of the armor as well, with the cockpit and output being tuned to Amuro's stats, hence geared towards a newtypes' response time.

[@MaverDick12]

You forgot the GT-FOUR, which was part of the same series as the Alex and the Aqua Gundam.

[@lucafabbrini6710]

True!

[@TheTorqueAholic]

I don’t recall the MS 80th show referring their MS’s as Gundams. They got slapped around by base Zakus if they weren’t paying attention. The big difference between the OG and the rest was the Gundam armor plating

[@albireotheredguard1599]

Dude, that GM Spartan looks amazing!

[@VRHyoumaru]

What I want to know is how does the performance of the RX-78-4 and RX-78-5 compare to that of the Alex, because with their BST equipment and weapons they sure LOOK like they could give it a run for its money.

[@McLeod917]

Since you brought up the kondo GM Diver, you should also add the RX-79M Submarine Gundam from the Mobile Suit Gundam Short Story Collection also by kondo.

Swuu, soowoo, southwest union, west union; it's Chinook? Chinook claims British Columbia as southwest union but has another southwest union in northwest mexico and southwest California. They have it layered like an adult business video game format formal gaming society where they have to roleplay being authentic authorized Gundams. It's a part of making a side story community insurance for the airlines and businesses doing Many formats of business. They have 8hrs a day online on the same ai robot gaming platforms roleplaying being Gundam machinists manufacturing and running a universe/ galaxy, etc. it's really boring seemingly but the way it is done is about the same storyline metaphor for work-study representing how it mirrors the influence of society based upon their work and outcomes because they use real money. Thus, the issuance of behavioral conditions of their property and management and outside the game living, etc. it metaphorically represents the insurance of thousands of people who have high status and high standards of audio engineering technology differences and communication barriers. Thus, despite being Chinook in a southwest union they have no contact in person and require privacy and insurance and roleplaying formality, etc. because it represents TV shows using the highest standards of intelligence of technology but in a theoretical physics society by agreements for manipulation of truth/ perspective... It's big private business and the documents reporting is like an Islam Muslim (hand written work and social media profile orders and deliveries and projects). The consideration for the value of their projects represents insurance for high status when it is following commanders orders for one project that is 25 years long but the people work like doing 10000 years of work each year of the highest data, Intel, etc. ... Thus, the projects when understood for their values would be viewed like their orders really are absolute but they take like 5-10 years to be in contact (super long business plans and fourth wall, all of it was back-dated or forward dated). Thus, people who don't understand should have the right to an eastern unified Chinook agreement. Washington's Eastern Chinook Union. WECU not Washington's district of British Columbia, WDBC? Complications with Gundams when no one addresses information through fourth wall breaking and the truth of finding the Chinook (claimed as a traitor holding secrets) is like per second a year of planetary construction ecosystems accurately counting each insect labor for insurance about their species... Etc. Easily overlooked how it is a side story about migration and exchanges and resumes and using the same school union of work-study but divided unions based on managing finance insurance and expenditure... Private spending up to 10 years? Unless the Chinook gets away with hiding, then indefinitely? 7 11, could be a story about 9 11, regarding 911 and 711 years forward dating. 200 year communication barrier agreement for fourth wall. Regarding viewing business like the amount some interactions have been suspended is like getting away permanently, thus an agreement for resolving the dispute and picking up in a future...

[@Plaprad]

Not gonna lie. I remember when that pic of the GM Spartan made it's way to the West. I've got it saved somewhere on my PC. I've seen it countless times over the years... HOW IN THE HELL DID I NOT SEE A SECOND SUIT!?!?!?!

[@Scudboy17]

The OYW timeline has the problem Marvel's Wolverine does- it's way too popular. This leads to everyone wanting to write their own stories around them, continuity be damned. Don't get me wrong, I love both, but the UC Gundam timeline is so full of prototypes, one off, exipiremental units, conversions, and refits thats all kind of ridiculous. Just Wolverines origins and powers changing every couple of years.

[@D3sertGh0st]

I wonder why the Full Armor Gundam and Full Armor Gundam Ground Operations Type never got any abbreviations...

[@lemos360]

You forgot some like the ovas ones (g40, evolve), the bouncer, the solomon express ones, the gundam marine from Kondoh, the G-Dash) You could also put the different designs like the ones by Okawara, where he redesigns the UC mobile suits in his artbook
