The (Mass) Produced Gundams

I swear I didn’t make this video to talk about the 4th Gundam Mk.II Disclaimer: Due to recent developments surrounding a certain virus, I feel the need to point out that my joke about the Dutch invading Belgium was not meant as a jab at the current situation. This video has been in the works for over a month, including the joke. It’s simply unfortunate that my joke now holds some truth.

And yes, our newspapers are printing things like “Dutch/Orange Invasion” en masse, hence my disclaimer)

[@Arkeo36]

What always struck me as hilariously ironic is how Gundam was the first real robot show, meaning the mecha are just another piece of military vehicle, but in real life the production version of any tank, airplane, etc. is alwags better than their prototypes. Victory is the first and only time in the series that a Gundam was genuinely mass produced and better as a mass production model than as a prototype.

[@AbrahamArthemius]

Yeah, to say Gundams generally described as a "prototype" is a little bit weird. Maybe an "advanced" unit will be a better description

[@scarface1ghost624]

For American units? Yes. But this don't apply to all countries, Russia being the prime example, they always make one off High end prototypes (Su-37/47 comes to mind), then due ti reasons they either downgrade then for mass production or incorporate technologies related to the project in older models although a lower end version

@@scarface1ghost624 the Su35 for instance is a major improvement in every way over the Su37, but I agree with you about Su47. That one hasn't really been matched but I'm not sure it was intended to go anywhere beyond being some kind of technology demonstrator.

[@scarface1ghost624]

@@Arkeo36 I mean yes, but it came almost 2 decades later than it. Their solution was to use the data to give some minor improvements to the Su-27. Not much unlike how the Gundam data was used to upgrade the GM, which years later the GM variants outclassing the Grandpa in every aspect

[@Fireclaws10]

In Gundam they do stuff a little backward. Instead of iterating on a base design, they make the best possible unit and work backwards from there to mass produce it, which doesn’t necessarily make sense in the real world. You’d want to put the best stuff on your production units as well. In real life, the gundam would be impossible to use that extensively due to the lack of spare parts and other logistical issues in running the thing. Plus the idea of one unit coming out on top in multiple enemy engagements where it’s completely outnumbered head to head also makes no sense.

"It started off as a single prototype, but after witnessing its raw destructive power -- and the mental instability of the pilot -- the Earth Alliance top brass knew that this was the Gundam that perfectly embodied them and everything they stood for."

Honestly, I'd like to remind you that in the Cosmic Era timeline the term "Gundam" comes from the operating system and not the designs themselves, assuming that each mobile suit in Seed has a standardized OS that means that every mobile suit is arguably a Gundam.

There was a 2nd Phenex built far into the future of UC so there are technically 4 Unicorns. The CAMS-RX0 G-Phenex was a silver Phenex that appeared in the OVA 'Gundam Reconguista in G: From the Past to the Future'. In the lore it was built with blueprints from the Rose of Hermes during the Reguild Century, which is the setting of G-reco.

[@davidvasquez08]

@@Fireclaws10 I never got around to actually watch it, and what timeline is it from?

[@StormWalden]

@@davidvasquez08 G-Reco takes place during the "Regild Century" era, which is a relative far future to the Universal Century era (the main Gundam timeline). More specifically, the events of the G-Reco series take place in the year 1014 of the Regild Century timeline. There is some debate as to whether the Regild Century era occurs before or after the Correct Century era (the timeline for Turn-A Gundam). This is relevant because animated works have pointed to the Correct Century era being a point at which all Gundam timelines (at least, all of the ones produced prior to the production of Turn-A Gundam) converge. Additionally, one recent animated work, "Light of Life: Chronicle U.C." indicates that the multiple eras/timelines are the result of a cyclic near-extinction event in which the Turn-A Gundam seemingly spontaneously activates, resets civilization to an essentially pre-industrial state by using its Moonlight Butterfly system to destroy all modern high technology, and then reburies itself, leaving the survivors and their descendants to rebuild over the course of centuries/millennia (including eventually redeveloping variations of MS technology) before doing it again.

the interesting part in Victory is that the grunts get the Hexa and the commanders the normal Victory. Considering that both V1 and V2 also have the same modular system as the Impulse and for a while there was a second V2 core fighter around until people made bad decisions, I'd say it's fair to call the V2 semi-mass-produced as well

[@Fireclaws10]

The V1 and V2 are classified as limited production rather than mass produced. I think Uso had the only remaining V2 which was one of only 2, and there definitely weren’t more than 15-20 V1s, which still isn’t that many.

There were some production V2s in the manga that we see Judau again, who somehow convinced the league to give him some. However despite this he still preferred piloting his own broken down ZZ. Notably, other V2s are painted blue or black and lacked the Assault Buster pack that Uso had.

Awesome video, dude! One quick correction, though: according to their profiles at MAHQ, the RX-78-2 and RX-78-3 were definitely NOT upgraded RX-78-1s. The RX-78-2 had 3 units produced; the two not piloted by Amuro Ray were destroyed during Char's attack on Side 7. Their remains were loaded onto White Base, and after it reached Jaburo, they were cobbled together into the RX-78-3.

[@daitoray9876]

Actually, they were. In addition, the Rx-78-1 and Rx-78-3 were not built from destroyed units. The Rx-78-1 was probably still in its disassembled parts form since one of the Zeon soldiers thought that the Gundam was a ton of unassembled parts. The Rx-78-3 is probably the same story but it appears to also be used as replacements for the Gundam if it was damaged really badly.

Are you saying you're from Belgium? Also, my first pick would be the F91. Not only does it look real awesome, but it makes sense. The design is compact, F91 is only 15 meters tall compared to the average 18 meters mobile suits usually are, and has no wings but can fly, making it a real hard target to hit. Vulcan canons on the head plus the gaus canon on the chest provide balistics weapons, with a beam rifle, beam bazooka to cover energy weaponry and two beam sabers and beam shield emiters for close combat, it can take on a wide variety of enemies. But, on top of that, it has the two VSBR pod on its back which are just over-powered! In the Cross-bone gundam manga, the Crossbone Unit 1 takes on a F91 and when shot at with a VSBR, it needed to throw two enemy mobile suits, two shield emiters, two beam sabers and still couldn't block the shot. Those weapons are insane! If I can't have the F91, the Murasame is a good second choice since it's already my favorite grunt unit. Third choice would be the Airmaster. I like that it's jet mode nose cone doesn't become a shield like most transforming Gundams so there's no risk of loosing that key feature. It's got good armament for medium to long range but its weakeness is no close range or melee weaponry. Which is why it's my third choice.

[@weebcraft6829]

So the guy who uses the Astray Turn Red basically. Buy off a buncha different mobile suits and stuff AI into them to make your own gundam team

[@rashdolphin4921]

Just thought I'd throw a few more uc ms that i think were produced in "some" numbers, f90: 3 units, heavy gundam: 3-4 units, and one ms that is technically a gundam, zeta plus (all variants): ~20-30 units

[@Martijn_vdw]

As a Dutch man I can confirm some of our windmills are Gundams

[@WolfeSaber]

In a fan timeline of mine, I've got the Oni Gundam, made for a faction's supersoldiers. The frame itself can be adjusted to match the body size of the pilots, the smallest being 20 meters.

[@roberthuang8719]

Also, the one unit Banagher received could be a brand new one, as Yazan Gable got an AE made GUNDAM MKII which is identical to the original ones Titans produced back to U.C.0087 in MSV-R manga at U.C. 0090

[@dragoon3812]

I wanna say that unit 2 was in North America because in the recently released gundam game Code Fairy, you face off against a pilot named Lilith Aidan piloting a pixy. Later on in the game she (the pixy) is upgraded and given better armor and quite a few weapons including a twin beam spear, 2 beam sabers, and a beam gun, but the beam daggers were taken away.

[@twelfthknight]

While it'd be nice for my ego to pilot one of the cooler gundams, I acknowledge that I am a massive coward and would definitely choose the Nether Gundam given all options. There's no getting around that I could still die to the Devil Gundam when it takes over Neo Japan, but I'll just keep at a safe distance and throw... wind at it?

[@yeshaelxbl-pc4296]

What about Blue Destiny and the Riders? There's actually 6 RX-0, but only 3 were produced.

[@emperorskulls]

This happened much later after Kakarot197 made this video, but the RX-79-2 was literally mass-produced in Despair Memory Gundam Sequel and won a war. Then they were all smelted down into slag after the war.

[@andrewcdno6532]

I will say that in my Turn A Gundam fan fic all mass produced Gundam that survived to the end of their series ( the universal century, G Gundam, and Gundam X) are all possibilities of becoming mass produced Gundams in Turn A Gundam. ( My main character pilots a Gundam F91). Also even though it is not called a gundam the Jack edge from Gundam age I do consider a mass produced Gundam.

[@pedrocarvajal550]

3 pixy gundams produce? I think at least 4 because a character from code fairy uses one customized version

[@pedrocarvajal550]

@MIRAGE MAZINKAISER SAGA really? Why? It seams to fit the timeline just fine

[@pedrocarvajal550]

@MIRAGE MAZINKAISER SAGA you know plot armor… always there to save zeon, like in 0080

[@somecomposingfudsa]

oh man you gotta make another part to this cause WfM

[@adamreddick1349]

Well, now there's a fourth Pixy, belonging to the Witch Hunt Squad, granted, it was based on the Early Production type

[@RainStorm148]

i actually enjoy NT-1 / Alex the most out of the one year war era machines due to its relatively balanced Physical and Beam weapon loadout. it's the same reason why i enjoy using Hi-Nu. they are my primary suits when i play Gundam Assault Survive. btw... did you just miss the Zeta Plus?

[@arby796]

Thank you for bringing up the Zeta Plus as I was scrolling to see if someone mentioned it before I did.

[@Squiggles01]

I'd take any Gundam that lets me shoot my guns from range and has the armor to keep me alive! Screw melee, you can't hit me if you are a smoking crater or an ashy pot mark on the dirt!

[@DeadSpaceWing]

Hope you have plenty of energy reserves cowboy :)

[@joexxv]

Just my opinion, There are mass produced ground type [S] in Gundam Thunderbolt then there are also the Hazel Gundams which were derived from the GM Quel. I think you missed also 1 version of the strike gundam(strike rouge) Thanks

[@GeoRyukaiser]

I'd personally like to pilot the Mass Production Nu Gundam.

[@sanguiniusonvacation1803]

Hey kakarot , did you know that there are a few Char clones outside of Gundam ? Most notably Commander Farsight from Warhammer in his red battlesuit with a taste for melee .

[@chillpenguin4118]

The Gundam Marine type does show up in Gundam Katana - It's destroyed off-panel by a Zaku. You see it prior to deployment by the Titans, then the wreckage afterwards. Never knew about the multiple Destiny Impulses, anyone know what happened to them? (I'm assuming its something to do with the Astray manga)

[@stangundam01]

from this list I'm between the unicorn gundam, gundam x, nebula blitz & the destroy - thou for the destroy I'd like to do the next version which for me is it taking design impute from the legend

[@ШайнингФингер]

Domon should be thankful he didn't fought Neither Gundam Btw I remember seeing a picture of Mass Production Wing Zero Endless Waltz version in some of Tokita's Wing manga. Not really a credible source,but this is Tokita we're talking about

[@neon_lavander]

Well considering that the phenex cannonically has the tail things on its armed armour DE's this probably means that the silver one could be a unit 4 (also can we just address how confusing the name RX0 is, it was developed much closer to uc100 and the whole la+ system was incorporated into one of them and was even redundant after episode 2 for any reason other than banager having a tantrum(

[@rifkimax2571]

4:58 i agree with you buddy. Mass produced ms / waifu in victory gundam

[@HeirOfSparda]

Wasn't expecting a new video so soon, hell yeah!

[@JesseSlater]

This video is something I've wanted for a long time, and it's take more of a deep dive on the UC ones any day! Thank you and happy new year

[@none-q4o]

Isn’t there a 4th Unicorn which appeared in G-self? It was black with red frame

[@xGasTon87x]

Ok had to laugh at KIDOU SENTAI ASTRAY RANGER. Weird that no build series leaned on that one for a gimmick team, they could have fought Tryon 3

[@justnoob8141]

History Matter: A few week later, Kakarot197 would came down at the case of being murder by a walking windmill
