[@balderdasq8987]

The titans literally had one job: stop Zeon from resurfacing. They then started gassing colonies, using upgraded Zakus, built a giant laser and worked with Axis. With such a colossal lack of self awareness, it was only a matter of time before they went under.

Both are based on fascist regimes, with Zeon having the huge issues of nepotism and the Zabi family being the way they were, and the Titans being extremely forthright with "might makes right" attitudes and mindsets.

[@Jim-Tuner]

A couple other important points: 1) Anaheim Electronics acting independently of both the federation and the titans was a biggest factor in the war. One way of looking at the entire conflict was that it was less a military conflict than a business/political conflict between Anaheim and Jamitov with everyone else being their pawns. 2) The biggest mistake of the war was the Titans attempting to go directly after Anaheim and their cities on the moon. Anaheim responded by trading side 3 to Neo Zeon in exchange for an alliance with their AEUG forces The alliance between the AEUG & Neo Zeon led to the military defeat of the Titans the loss of the Colony laser. 3) What was left of the Titans after what I would consider their initial military defeat was destroyed by Scirocco who was an utterly terrible and incompetent leader. Scirocco had killed the military leadership of the Titans and not replaced it with anything. Rather than directing the operations of the fleet, he was flying around the battlefield as a pilot. For lack of direction, somehow nearly the entire Titans fleet positioned itself in front of the colony laser and was destroyed.

[@godofpharts]

Its why I've always thought to myself that the ultimate villains, at least thru 0083 to ZZ were Anahiem Electronics. After the One Year War they absorbed their competitors and had a monopoly on MS production until Axis showed up. Ideologies and war crimes aside, who got to walk away from each conflict with a pretty penny every time?

[@georgeleon1263]

Jim Tuner Jim Tuner I don’t think Anaheim’s actions were that much of a factor at the beginning. The company was massive in size and scope and pretty much operated like a Zaibatzu with multiple departments acting independently from one another or with very little oversight from the general management, the best case I can think of was the RMS-108 Marasai, originally that MS was intended for the AEUG and yet Anaheim gave it to the Titans, even the Titan officer overseeing the transfer commented on the company’s actions of arming both sides to which the company representative merely replied they were keeping all their options open. The titans attack on the lunar cities change all of that and put Anaheim against them but that was much late in the war and by that point after the Dakar fiasco the Titans were well on the way to defeat.

[@Jim-Tuner]

The interesting thing is that the Titans developed the Mark II Gundam on their own, the AEUG steals them and then Anaheim steps in to give them the Marasai almost in compensation. If you are cynical enough, you could almost see Anaheim getting the AEUG to effectively wreck the Titan's plans to build their own mobile suits to destroy a potential business competitor, I agree that Anaheim was a Zaibatzu and that different groups inside the company had different motives for what they were doing. But they seemed at least to me to be in total control of the AEUG from at the least the beginning of the Zeta series. Even in 0083, Anaheim (at least the groups on the moon) were less than loyal to the federation and seemed to be quietly helping the Zeon reminent forces.

[@georgeleon1263]

How much influence the company had over the AEUG is a matter of debate, there are examples of the company forcing the AEUG's hand like when Wong Lee forced the issue of the Jaburo operation against the advice of most of the group's military leadership. But there are also examples of the company acting on its own without consulting with the AEUG like when they made the deal with Hamman Khan that led to the destruction of the Gate of Zedan. Throughout most of the Gryps War Anaheim was effectively playing a win-win strategy. If the AEUG won then Anaheim could claim they helped them against the Titans tyranny if on the other hand the Titans won then Anaheim could point out their support against the rebel forces. In the end because of its decentralized structure and little oversight Anaheim could easily make a case to the victor that the company's upper management was unaware of what their department chiefs were doing with their assets. Anaheim getting the MK-II was a mere convenience like what happened after the OYW when the company absorbed the Zeon MS development firms Zeonic, MIP and Zimbad which is why many of their MS like the Rick Dias, the Hizack and the Marassai had distinct Zeon features like the mono eye. Its also important to remember that when Unicorn Gundam came it revealed a very important piece of the Anaheim puzzle. For all intents and purposes Anaheim was an extension of the Vist Foundation whose founder Syam Vist got extremely powerful and wealthy thanks to his possession of the Laplace Box. From then on if you look at the company's history you have to admit they were the ones who always benefited the most from every conflict and interestingly always played all sides. In char's counterattack the Mobile Suits that Neo Zeon used were built by Anaheim's Granada factory despite the fact that they were clearly intended to be used against the Federation.

[@BlueBlazerX7]

@@georgeleon1263 everything you just explained sounds similar to Umbrella from resident evil (minus the win win part) Umbrella had the intention of bio warfare where as Anaheim had its bases covered so long as they could profit from both sides with very little blow backs on there end, which is extremely 1 sided like damn.

The Empire lost to the Rebellion because of Darth Vader. If Palpatine survived, he would have easily recouped his losses and launched another attack on the Rebel Alliance. But since Vader killed him, it turned the whole Empire into a galactic version of Somalia-dominated by local warlords with nobody for them to answer to. The Empire fell into military anarchy as a succession war broke out between Palpatine's goons as to who succeeds the old man, while the Rebellion transformed into the New Republic and slowly gobbled up territory as they made a push for the core.

Add in that the rebel alliance was led by Darth Vader (Char) when it captured the death star. I always wanted to make a "Zeta Gundam" style replacement story for "Empire Strikes Back". There is a new republic just as bad as the empire. Darth Vader is now the hero leader of the new rebels. Luke Skywalker is under house arrest. Han Solo is a civilian transport pilot (i.e. Bright Noah) And Leia is a conflicted member of the bad government. The more I think about it. The more I think that the new star wars films should just adopted the plot of Zeta Gundam.

If you're going to fight monsters, make sure you don't become one

[@TheTrueAdept]

Let me put it in a way you can understand: technology changes rights. No more, no less. The more technology comes into the picture, the more rights and freedoms change. The only 'basic right' is, quite literally, not getting murdered. Everything else is determined by technology. Why do you think slavery and serfdom lasted in one way or another for over 4,000 years? Because the technological context requires you to force a rather significant (something between three quarters to all the way to the mid-90s) portion of your population to produce food and since food production is generally thankless and backbreaking work and the most money is made in the urban areas, you have to tie people down to the land. That is why the most capable civilizations rose in fertile areas almost exclusively (fertility is, in effect, a technological advantage) and not everywhere else. The various Greek civilizations being one of the very few exceptions. In our evolving technological context. OH BOY, are we going to have a nice, nasty ride. Welcome to a world where idiots with more ideology than sense are going to start using gene-tech for their own purposes and people start using memetic weapons like jet fuel. Privacy, in this sort of situation, is no longer possible nor viable. Unlimited information is now a detriment to not only policy but people's lives. What we've assumed to be static is actually fluid. Even I had to come to this realization, and that was a while back.

5: Experamental use of creating Newtypes that ended in failiure, sometimes killed by the may protagonus or other Titants members hands others going awol from the constant expermentation on their mind. Four Marasume and Rosamia Bardon are the clear cases for this. Four disobedeince and anguish when piloting the Psyco Gundam and Rosamia compleate mental breakdown from her concern of "They Sky is falling" To an episodic relapss and mentality of a child. Granted, later on the Neo Zeon forces does use Cyber-Newtypes and cloning them as well, but the pure fact remains that the Titans was the first recorded orginization that did this, with the Federation's stamp of approval.

In the big picture the cyber newtypes played a very small role to be honest. Even without the cyber newtype project they would have lost the war. Same with Zeon in the OYW... once a tipping point was reached there was no going back... even if they hadnt lost at on earth, as soon as axis showed up they had lost the war. Their poor treatment of cyber newtypes just underscored that they are "da evil guys" and to make the heros look that much more heroic and tragic in turn.

There is also the fact that there was little knowlege availabe about Newtypes in the first place.

I don’t think the technological aspect play that much of a factor. While the Nemo was a significant upgrade over the GM II it wasn’t that much superior to the Titans own machines, even the Hizack was still able to hold its own against it. The vast majority of Titan losses were at the hands of the AEUG aces Kamille, Emma, Char and company. The two factors I think really doomed the Titans were points 3 and 4, their actions through the conflict and extreamly poor leadership.

[@brianaguila6925]

Reason #6: They should have focused on better ties between them and the Spacenoids, see them as citizens of the Feddies and treated them like one. If they had done that, Karaba and AEUG would not have those skilled and professional pilots like Emma becoming disillusioned and defecting to Kamille and Quattro. Reason #7: they should had treated Bright Noa better not make him a glorified limo driver since everyone overlooked his achievements with Amuro and the White Base crew. And we know the BRIGHT SLAP, a slap so powerful it makes any whining kid into a capable adult or make any cocky and hardheaded crew or pilot,realiable.

Titans logic: We are hunting down Zeon Remnants so let’s upgrade the existing Zakus made by the Zeons and use it against them!

[@antihero9443]

Shirocco made a big mistake by assassinating Jamitov and Bask during the final phase. Same as Kishillia's mistake.

[@webfox100]

Two more points that the Titans lost the war are #1 Relying on the unstable cyber newtypes instead of real newtypes. #2 Fight the war on multiple fronts. The Titans were fighting AEUG in space, Karaba on Earth, looking for Zeon from the One Year War, keeping the colonies underfoot, and having to deal the arrival of Zeon from Axis. If they stuck to one or two of those at a time while letting the regular forces or some other special faction, then they wouldn't be spread so thin to keep losing most of the time.

[@loveyuiz]

Yea in hindsight the Titans are like the Teutonic order, in paper they claim to protect you from threat but in reality they’re the threat, using whatever means necessary to increase their power, plus their higher ups are mostly consisted of people who’s in it for themselves and not for the people

[@blackbird7781]

Who loves false flag operations?

[@HolyknightVader999]

And in the end, the Teutonic Order was taken down by an alliance of people who used to be their allies, like the Catholic Poles and Lithuanians. In this case, the Titans were obliterated by disgruntled Feddie pilots joining the AEUG and Axis Zeon.

[@Jim-Tuner]

The sad thing is that you could say the same thing about the AEUG. They were basically puppets of Anaheim Electronics and were to a degree just as false as defenders of the colonies as the Titans were in terms of being defenders of the federation. Its somewhat implied that by the time of Char's Counterattack that the AEUG (with Bright and Amuro) had evolved into a new less murderous version of the Titans keeping the spacenoids under control for the federation.

Nr 5 would be the fact that they were largely a paper tiger. The new uniform, the increase in authority and benefits compared to their ranks, the status of an elite unit and the new fancy mobile suit prototypes all gave them a sense of invincibility and superiority. Which contrast with their forces largely being filled with youngsters instead of veterans, and with what appears to be subpar training regimens and no clear sense of doctrine or war goal... their pilots, their naval personnel and so on were unprepared for the intense guerrilla war they ended up fighting. While the AEUG was staffed with both Zeon and Federation veterans from the One Year War. People like Bright or Char had plenty of experience conducting military operations against numerically superior enemies.

[@AmuroRay007]

A big part of the disillusionment of pilots likely came from the machines they used. Many pilots wondered when they would use a machine, the Hizack, that so closely resembled the dreaded Zaku, the thing that had been the symbol of Zeon. That’s why when many Titans machines were refitted and overhauled to be used by the Federation, they were redesigned to have dual eyes instead of the moneoeye which was seen as a trait of Zeon machines, like the Byarlant Custom for example.

[@Jim-Tuner]

If the Titans finish the Colony laser and the fortress at the Gate of Zedan, I think the AEUG and Neo Zeon are basically forced to throw everything they have into a fight with the Titans. The Colony laser can destroy any fixed target in space and would give the titans such an overwhelming advantage that the AEUG and neo-zeon would have to fight to take or destroy it. One change though would be that if Titans were more successful, it would have been less likely that Scirocco would have been to take the Titans over.

[@kakarot197]

If the Titans had been successful at Operation Apollo and Kilimanjaro, then the Federation would've most likely gone ahead with giving Jamitov full control over the regular Federation Forces. The deal was virtually done, so the Federation was inclined to keep supporting the Titans as long as they could. Then it would just be a battle to keep everything together...

It’s the cool uniforms that did them in Those must have been expensive being cool and all

[@HolyknightVader999]

Actually, Scirocco could have won as the new Titans' leader. Too bad that his fleet was on the path of the Colony Laser and that he got screwed over by Kamille. If things went differently in that final battle, the Titans could have persevered. Or, if Scirocco made an alliance with the AEUG to take out Axis Zeon, the Titans might have even been the tip of the spear in that war against the first Neo-Zeon movement.

if titans made an alliance with AEUG, then AEUG should change it's name lol.

5. Not properly guarding the big ass death beam. 6. Flying all forces directly in the line of fire of the enemy captured big ass death beam. 7. Not sending something to finish off the suits that Yazan cripples before he runs away for whatever reason.

[@jbellflower83]

If amuro had gone into space this war would have ended alot sooner. Amuro would have wrecked haman and scirocco. Could you imagine if amuro and char had fought haman and scirocco together? How awesome that would have been. But I get it this was kamille's story. I just wish amuro could have gotten more screen time.

[@lockheedhenesy3899]

Imagine he got over with fearing of not going back to space instead being a coward man up aeug needs him. This dude clap haman cheeks, made jerid his bitch, one shot scirocco & yazan. Amuro is a beast

[@dr.bright6272]

Reason #1: they didn't have the primary protagonist on their side

[@MrKamikaze1337]

There more 2 facts: one is the opression at people on colonies and earth who led the creation of the AEUG led by ex-zeon soldiers and Federation soldiers, even Amuro and Bright Noa joined the AEUG, and unable to counterattack the AEUG and their Guerrilha and asymetrical warfare tatics, Titans are a huge army but not that versitile. There no need creating a thousand of experimental Mobile suits or underpowerd general purpose units if one well equiped general purpose unit is good enough. The Rick dias and the Nemo prove that.

[@KnightShadowsong]

one big nail in the coffin of the Titans was the loss of the Colony Laser. it's entirely possible that had they managed to keep control of it, they might have been able to do enough damage to force a stalemate. or at least get a cease fire on favorable terms. as soon as Operation Malstrom took control of it though... the war was pretty much done. especially when the AEUG used the colony laser to utterly neuter the Titan's fleet.

[@jamesoliverbarrera5308]

In where or what part did Ford Romfellow appear as a Titans member? Did he appear on Zeta? I forgot

[@muhaoai4693]

Probably in a Side Story or something. Ford Romfellow was created years after the Zeta Gundam anime.

[@perreterecon]

never knew the number of colonies there are, that quote of "hundred of colonies" its correct?

[@Hektols]

The never specified the number of colonies, this allows the owners of the Gundam franchise to add new factions for new stories.

[@TheBigExclusive]

Not enough ace pilots in the Titans to fight the AEUG is probably - at least not any with the main Titans fleet. Would have been interesting to Kou Uraki from 0083 join the Titans and fight Char or Kamille. Kou probably hates Zeon with a passion since Operation Stardust.

[@andagean]

idk, IMO Kou wasn't that great of a pilot.

[@aliastheabnormal]

From what I heard Kou was the only member of the Albion crew who never joined the Titans. He was in jail during the early days of the organization and when he got out the Titans already started committing atrocities and Kou wanted no part of that shit and basically laid low for the entire conflict.

[@andagean]

Good for him, he got out at a good time. but I seriously think even if he did join the Titans Kamille/Quattro/Amuro and arguably Emma in the Gundam MKII or Apolly in the Rick Dias could wreck Kou depending on what suit he's piloting. This all makes me wonder what happened to his friend Keith. I love imagining Monsha being run down by Kamille during the Gryps war that guy was such a douche. Both the AEUG and the Titans were kind of underpowered in terms of quality of Pilots outside the main forces (Argama/Jupitris)

[@chrisphelps4552]

I like to think that Kou joined Karaba/AEUG instead along with Keith, Nina, Mora, Synaps, as well as that black federation commander who supported the Albion during Operation Stardust.

[@shadowwriter4538]

I can imagine Kou, Keith, Mora, Admiral Kowan being members of Karaba/AEUG after the Titans started to get back. Synaps isn't possible since I heard her was executed for disobey orders from Bask. As for the Albion crew members, I sort of hopped they jumped ship from the Titans the moment the organization went bad before the Grypsy incident.

[@Xaviel2ul2u07]

I meant If they just gassed the colony where there were the potential threats to begin with (Kamille, Emma, Bright, Jerid, Jamaican) they would had won. And gave Scirocco the Dendrobium, AEUG crew would be doomed except Zeon, because Haman Karn is the best girl.

[@jbellflower83]

As an antagonist I actually thought yazan was great. Jerrid was ok but yazan wrecked alot of aeug pilots. And he always gave kamille a tough fight. I know he was a minor antagonist but he was one of the better enemie pilots in uc gundam. He's no char but then who is.

[@marcosdheleno]

the best reason to like yazan is... he wasnt a newtype, and still was a better pilot than kamille(skill wise). he was an asshole, no doubt, but his skill made him a threat. too bad gundam would devolve into "my newtype is bigger than your newtype".

[@jbellflower83]

@@marcosdheleno I always liked when a regular pilot could hang with a newtype. Even char in the original wasnt too newtype and relied far more on his natural piloting skills and he was a step above amuro until the last part of the series when amuro started going ultra instinct on everybody. Say what u will about plot armour and such but amuro really was the perfect combo of piloting skill and newtype ability as we saw in cca.

[@marcosdheleno]

@@jbellflower83 that's because amuro wasnt like kamille, judeau nor usso. he had to learn how to pilot. and he evolved as he fought. and that's coming from someone who doesnt actually like amuro that much.

[@jbellflower83]

@@marcosdheleno yeah. Of all the hero pilots amuro definitly made the most of his ability. Kamille had alot of potential and had the chance to learn from both amuro and char but he never quite got to what he could have been.

I liked Gady as a Titans officer. He kind of rested in the middle of the arrogant power-hungry maniacs and the heroic pilots who defected. Not particularly evil but definitely a fascist committed to the power structure. It was cool after Jamaican got killed that the Alexandria's command structure changed so much. Where Jamaican was an asshole Gady was more business-like. I liked that he actually had a lot of good to say about Jerid as a pilot and promoted him and how he really didn't like Yazan. I liked that he was just trying to keep out of everyone's way while the CO's ended up killing each other for power and he ended up outliving most of them.

The Titans military is of itself the military arm of the earthnoid-centric military-industrial complex, and its leadership is the owner / representative of the said consortium, however even in post-OYW the significant population of humanity are spacenoids, not to mention space-based military-industrial complex. As such, when those EF military personnel got left out in "the new order" aka introduction of Titans and EF shift drastically to "earthnoid-first" policies, there's the ready manpower pool that it can tap into, and a military-industrial complex that'd bankroll - and provide relevant hardware up to and including new MS models and a small fleet of new warships - for AEUG. The war of 0085 was thus largely a EF civil war.

[@JTruong3rd]

I think another reason is the people inside the titans were under qualified for their ranks. The two promotions policy came back to bite them hard with incompetent officers who were two ranks below before titan enlisting. Jerrid for example was a lieutenant in the titans the same rank as famous zeon and federation aces like Jung and the Black tri stars. But can't even compare to their piloting prowess.

[@mysetlist2118]
