[@gravefox4206]

Zeon honestly had ALOT of good pilots and i think thats the real factor in how so many outdated machines could go toe to toe with some of the federations more advanced units you have hardened well trained pilots who been fighting almost 20 years vs mostly fresh or barely war tested feddies its no surprise. with ZZ its i feel terrain was a factor to they were fighting in the desert against pilots that had been fighting for almost 2 decades and thier machines were optimized for those condisions and home field advantage.

Let's put the Juaggu's hydraulics into perspective as well. You guys see how it wrecked a NEMO with one punch? NEMOs are armored with Gundarium Alpha, which is basically equal to the Luna Titanium of the original Gundam and was specifically intended to be. In other words, the Juaggu would have been able to go toe to toe with Amuro Ray... and quite possibly win.

[@labbit3574]

So basically if you put a very good pilot in there it can possibly be stronger than a Gundam

[@chrisadams1814]

It sees very slow and who knows the upgrades or modifications it's got.

[@gamester512]

@@chrisadams1814 An Ace pilot with a Juaggu could likely figure out ways to modify it to rectify any mobility issues it might have. Whether that be with additional thrusters, a better reactor/generator, etc. I mean, look at how nimble that Guncannon was, and that thing was probably being piloted by either an Ace or at the very least a seasoned and experienced pilot. The biggest factor when it comes to mobile suit performance has almost always been the skill and quality of the pilot in question. Like in SEED Destiny, Athrun was able to perform surprisingly well against one of the Gundams stolen by the Extended in just a Zaku Warrior....a unit that was undeniably inferior to the Gaia, Chaos, & Abyss. Not to mention Char's ability to perform well even against Amuro's Gundam in just a modified Zaku II. It's the pilots who make or break a given mobile suit in many cases. Even a sub-par unit could still perform well with a suitable pilot. Such as Amuro's RX-78-2 (which by that point was outdated and obsolete) making short work of Zeon's Gelgoogs (which outclassed the RX-78-2 by that point in terms of overall specs), all due to Zeon lacking pilots skilled enough to bring out the best of those Gelgoogs.

[@chrisadams1814]

@@gamester512 sorry i had a typo i mean but it probably had some modifications. What you said is true, a good pilot can make up for his machines faults. BUT still its going to be hard to out run a Ferrari with a Pinto. in Zeta gundam that GM2 pilot couldn't hit the Rick Dias's cause it was too unresponsive. that guy was old enough to be a vet. in the og Gundam Armuro "shot" down two pilots who were much more skilled them him on his first day as a pilot. basically what im getting at the suit doesn't make the man and the man doesn't make the suit. a good suit can make up for a midcore pilot and a good pilot can make up for a bad suit but they both will only go so far. Again we see that with Armuro in the OG hes basically just good enough to get it to move at first and the armor of the gundam keeps him alive till he can catch up then eventually is the gundam playing catch up.

[@pippupaladin]

I personally loved clearing all of Char's storyline up to the end of Z Gundam in his Zaku II whilst playing Gundam vs. Zeta Gundam back in the day on the PS2. I don't know what it was but I could pretty much stomp anything the game threw at me in the Zaku better than any other MS of his and if I were rich I'd pay someone to animate Char absolutely curb stomping Haman and Sirocco in his Zaku II in the final battle with no difficulty what so ever.

The Gelgoog is a beast, especially when matched with an ace like Char or Johnny Raiden. My favorite is the MS-14jg Gelgoog Jaeger in 0080. That sucker had like triple the thrusters output as a regular Gelgoog if I remember correctly, far superior to even the Gelgoog Marine in 0083.

[@MuShinnen]

Honestly surprised the Z'gok didn't make this list. All things considered the machine was not only one of the best overall performing amphibious type mobile suits ever designed. Even as it aged, the thing was able to rip ships apart and take down newer gem variants as well as a gundam built specifically for underwater combat.

[@gravefox4206]

frankly all of Zeons water combat units are great. the Feddies just take what they have and modify them the Aqua GM is basicly a GM with water gear slapped on. all zeon ones were built from the ground up. the Zee Zulu is the exception cause to me its mislabeled. its more akin to say a Navy SEAL using scuba gear to get to land then diching for standered weapons.

[@MuShinnen]

@@gravefox4206 Eh, that isn't quite true. Zeon originally used a zaku with gear strapped onto it. They realized it's performance wasn't enough, and after that began to develop the rest of their designs. Also to be fair, the vast majority of amphibious mobile suits are meant to serve both fighting roles: in the water, and on land hence amphibious.

[@gravefox4206]

@@MuShinnen fair point i tend to forget but Zeon did learn unlike the federation. look at the Gogg it wasnt able to stay on land for to long while the Acguy and Z'gok could the Hygogg was a major improvment over the original Gogg as well.

**RICHARD NIXON SOUND**

[@AlexanderDraconis]

I love Zaku 1. When I was told to pick a low powered mecha for a game, I immediately jumped for it and gave it a blade antenna. It has good basic functions, frame, and handling. It's always been a low cost unit ripe for jury-rigging, equipment testing, upgrade packages, and utility duties, a great addition to any squad looking to add a unit fit for a little bit of anything.

[@kaisipe412]

And if you're forced to de-militarise, it can be used for hauling and construction

[@spartan5157]

By biggest problem with every Gundam series is that instead of cool robot battles, every enemy HAS to be shown to be a threat to the protag first, thus it always feels forced when one suit from Zeon/the bad guys' team wipes the floor with a bunch of federation ones. Like, I get it, they are a threat; showing the elite team of modern MS get dominated by 3 rubber bands and a plastic tarp takes me more out of the action than into it.

[@WordBearer86]

Nail on the head. My biggest issue, well with anything involving drama, is the absurd levels they will often go to heap as much (unnecessary) drama as they can into every last scene because...?!!?! Case in point: last five or so episodes of 0083. A colony drop, several plot twists and betrayals, plus the concluding of the series long duel between the main two characters of the show just IS NOT ENOUGH drama apparently. No we gotta toss in a love triangle from out of left field and oh one of Nina's old friends gets shot because reasons. Origin actually gets it right, only to then bludgeon me over the head repeatedly with slapstick yuck yucks just incase I might've actually been even somewhat emotionally involved with the tragic events or emotional dialogue that had been taking place just moments before. Honestly this is the worst of the two. It's like if you were watching Stalingrad or Das Boot and moments after some shockingly tragic scene you get Colonel Klink and Sgt. Shultz doing a bit.

[@scythedd7]

Huh? Most times in Gundam series the enemy is fielding better suits, it's kinda rare for the outdated stuff to hold up. And if you dont show the antagonist to be a threat....uh what's the point of the show? Like if we never see the enemy beating something, why should we even be invested in what the protag is doing? We just see character after character get their ass kicked by the protag? Hows that an interesting watch?

[@scythedd7]

I'm literally trying to think of times we see a bunch of low performance "bad guy" suits wreck good guy high performance units: any time it happens in OG Gundam it's because Amuro is inexperienced, by the series mid point anything giving him trouble isnt low performance. Other then the Gundams, all the AEUG suits are generally worse than all the Titan stuff, not an issue in CCA, the Federation is using incredibly outdated suits in F91, and even worse so in V. Other then the final fight in 0080, every fight is between generally equal performance machine, and while we see a lot of fed suits merced at the start of 0083, that's more about green pilots vs hardened veterans. And they mostly win on account of the high performance Gundam they just stole. So what moments in UC Gundam besides the one episode in Unicorn and the general derp of ZZ do we see the antagonist use "three rubberbands and a tarp" to wipe modern elite good guy teams? It's almost always done by the newest high performance suit they just rolled out

[@JeanLucCaptain]

the lack of any serious effort by the legitimate EFF (eg not TITANS) to clean up the Zeon forces on Earth is weird. Also, why are EFF pilots usually so green???

[@zqfmgb4335]

Well there's the fight between Scarlet Team and the Kampfer in 0080, in which the Kampfer defats 6 (presumably elite) MSs, including two GMs Sniper II, which were supposed to have better stats than the Gundam itself ! Though this one is more a case of stupid tactics than pilots incompetence. The Feds should've dropped one sniper away from the Kampfer and sent the rest to distract Mikhail, this way the sniper could've shot the Kampfer from afar. But instead they decided to drop the entire team at CQC range, go figure. Also from 0080, there's the second fight scene in ep1. Technically it doesn't really count since the Feds canonically won that one, but during the entire scene we see Zakus curbstomping GMs Command, which is ludicrous. The original GM was already superior to the Zaku in every way, so the Commands should really be more talented than that. Damn, they don't even manage to kill Bernie. Sure, they shoot him down, but he's a rookie facing experienced soldiers (GMs Command are usually given to commanders or elite pilots), this should've been an instant death for him !

[@palladiamorsdeus]

@MIDKNIGHT FENERIR Not even a little bit. Unless you mean in the early era where the Federation had tanks while Zeon had suits, then sure, but only by sheer virtue of "1 is bigger than 0." Otherwise once the Federation actually entered into the MS phase they always had the upper hand. For an example the Zeon suit Gelgoog, developed late war, was only marginally better statistically speaking then the Gundam, which had fought through a large portion of the war already.

[@diabolus1512]

Zock for the win

[@Turbofurby]

Random fact: During Zeta Gundam when Reccoa defects to the Titans in a Gelgoog captured by the AEUG in the remains of a Zeon ship, the Gelgoog was not actually the Gelgoog. Instead, the AEUG took that Gelgoog's armor and put it on the frame of a Nemo, resulting in a normal Gelgoog with stats being atleast on par, if not better than, the GM Sniper II *(This is a good thing, the Sniper II was the most powerful GM variant of the OYW and was whole lot better than the Gundam in every which way on paper and the Nemo is based off the Sniper II)*

[@yomamashouse16]

Was it the one where it was stripped but still had the bazooka?

[@ORLY911]

so if the blue gelgoog was federation replica, it was made with the Gelgoog Marine's specs as a basis?

It's stated to be A, not F. Also broadcast order makes this kinda impossible unless retconned.

[@jesseguajardo8592]

[@JeffreyPiatt]

It was very likely that it was built as a "top gun aggressor" unit to act as a target for federal cadets in training . Having federal ms internals would simply repairs. The same concept probably led to the RMS-106 the need.to keep the aggressor Zaku II units running with a supply chain issue probably led to units with RGM-79 parts field retrofitted in making more like a Zanny. The data getting fed back would have led to the brass requesting AE design a new unit in the zaku line that used RGM standard parts to save on costs.

[@barrybend7189]

Maybe the one with federation tech like gundarium armor and magnetic coating on the joints.

Nah it is most likely cross technology with EF Galbaldy alpha and beta. those production line did borrow and improved gelgoog tech thus make it easier to implement into older frame.

They were however assisted by 2 Zee Zulu's and their pilots gifted to Looni's group by Full Frontal as a fake reassurance, but that's it on the "neo-zeon remnant" side.

He did show the PSP one in 5 Awesome Gundam Games You've (Probably) Never Played. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aInWaoainZamj9U

[@ChrisV2k01]

3:40 I call it the Elephant. Because... it looks like one

[@liamtheheroicgundamwarrior9752]

LOL! That’s what I thought it looked like. 😂

[@Sierlea]

Nice vid! If you did an alternate timeline video of this, I think it'd be dominated by Wing and their overpowered early-models ^^

[@tiagokang639]

The eletronic music at the end is awesome.

[@LieshaCichol]

3:37 from old time otaku perspective, the scene was one helluva nod to those who stuck around since the 1st Gundam days. Juaggu never appeared in the first TV series. It was seen first time ins MSV (Mobile Suits Variation) scale model series that came out shortly after the 1st Gundam broadcast. Basically it was a way to make money out of designs that were axed, canned or didn't make it to final cut for one reason or other. It was mentioned here and there in novels and games, but the only other appearance in anime is in Gundam Build Fighters.

[@mpregmafia]

I love the Sleeves so much, the idea of the collective of Zeon sympathizers teaming up with old badass antiques is great.

[@ZidaneOfTantalus]

The gelgoog marine is my favorite zeon suit. In particular cima's commander type. For the federation, my favorite is the jesta canon variant of the jesta. i have a thing for the gm line of ms and have 20+ gm model kits including the jesta and jesta canon.

[@kakarot197]

Ah, I see you're a man of culture as well

[@ZidaneOfTantalus]

Compliment noted and appreciated.

[@WordBearer86]

I've loved the Gelgoog marine since I first saw it in a 2 min clip on a gundam fansite back in 2001.

[@ZidaneOfTantalus]

@@WordBearer86 in the ps2 game 'mobile suit gundam encounters in space', the gelgoog marine was my favorite mobile suit to use.

[@WordBearer86]

I would die a happy man if there was a new Zeonic Front released that let you use Gelgoog Marines.

[@MasterArchfiend]

I don't know why I keep coming back to rewatch this as much as I have. Maybe because it gives me hope that I could still kick butt if I had a Gundam Ground Type to pilot post OYW.

[@girhen]

What's interesting is what series you watch should be a huge factor for the difference a suit makes. The Zaku I wasn't exactly a WWI tank. It was exceptionally sophisticated, and had generally good performance. A Zaku II, which came out in the same year, shouldn't be a huge leap above it. At the very least, it should have almost no difference in ground battle if we're talking a realistic scenario like 08th Team. No huge leaps and flying around. With all the visual range fighting, the fire control system shouldn't be as big a difference as the show makes it seem. With all the software based information, I'd think a software update should be enough for most situations. Outside the Earth's atmosphere is probably a much bigger story. Full freedom of movement and the removal of that big gravity element should make a difference in powerplant much more meaningful.

[@yrsrig7607]

Those jesta at the intro tho... Daymn glad i bought 3 of those kits

[@takururossweisse282]

5:05 I really like that movement

[@moriskurth628]

How about a Top List of specialized Mobile Suits? You know, not the jack of all trades machines, like the Zaku or GM, Ace Custom versions, or bleeding edge prototypes, but MS or variants that were designed with specific purposes, environments or situations in mind. Things like amphibious operations, rear-line support, tackling of certain enemies, and so on.

[@operationstratos1013]

The acguy would be one. This was an amphibious AND stealth MS (The return of Johnny Ridden)

[@jakealter5504]

Operation Stratos101 so would the dinn

[@300kyuubi]

Looks like I better look out for that custom GM gun-cannon for a gunpla kitbash

[@Koppu1doragon]

I like how Code Geass added a pack on the back of the machines that houses an Emergency Escape Device that rips the cock pit out of the machine, seems like a lot of Zeon's issue was a shortage of pilots, not saying this would have single handedly fixed that issue but it probably would have helped.

[@corporategunner5972]

1:53 This is just overkill against a Zaku II

[@andrewsallee]

I will always love the Gelgoog.

[@WordBearer86]

Back in 2001 I had started my trip down the rabbit hole of the Gundam series. The first Zeon MS I saw was on a gundam fansite in a short clip in the media download section,english subbed, in 240p that took about 5 minutes to download. It was from 0083. The Zeon MS was the Gelgoog Marine. It remains to this day my most favorite MS of all.

[@josephlytle1436]

“What is this, some kind of walking war museum?” XD

[@shawdawg3675]

Cool fact here. Not sure who did the music score for 0083, but if you watch the Chuck Norris movie Invasion USA, when Chuck goes chasing after the guys escaping the mall, a version of one of the 0083 songs can be heard.

[@dickiewongtk]

The sponsor message in the begining...the feels~~!

[@RevanMephisto]

I would like to see you do a segment on the fin funnel system in the future?

[@lemeres2478]

I would say that a sniper unit has a slightly easier job of performing well despite its disadvantages. It is basically just part of a mounted cannon or turret at that point, since it just relied on the airship for movement. No maneuverability required. Of course, this principle also applies to real life snipers. General precision and reliability shot to shot can lead to older items, such as bolt action rifles, to perform admirably.

[@hummerskickass]

It would have been amazing if you mentioned uma lightings gelgoog and other gelgoogs of chimaera Corps. They where all upgraded and some completely overhauled around UC 0090( only 6 years before unicorn) by Anaheim electronics. There was even a gelgoog completely reworked for the returning of Johnny Ryden. It completely out preforms many contemporary mobile suits of the time. Maybe you can do a part two to this video.

[@vet-autthanundonsuk9136]

Cant wait to see the flag colony guard type on next vid

[@BONESTORM2501]

Gouf custom and chars zaku II are some of my top mobile suits

[@wolfseek]

Can you do a video about new types cyber neq types and Innovators also perfect types and how the psycho frame works and what's up with the add more psycho frame to a gundam.

[@cheaplizardstudiosofficial]

Saw a zaku cannon in attack on Torrington base , as well as a green marasai

[@Optimaloptimus]

6:32 here’s a lesson for the kids. LEARN YOUR BLOODY LIMITS.

[@R3DN3PP3R]

Juaggu still in my heart, even I'm a feddie sided

[@liamtheheroicgundamwarrior9752]

I’m personally an earth federation guy myself... but I still have SOME respect for Zeon (I mostly hate Zeon because they once went way too far by gassing a populated space colony killing both the military people & civilians in it, then dropping it on the earth blowing it up). I do like their variety of mobile suits (I’m not really into the amphibious ones because they are a little too ugly looking... but the Z’gok is a cool looking amphibious mobile suit). If I was to use a Zeon mobile suit... I think I would use a Zaku II with a mostly black with some lime green paint job & use a 100 mm machine gun as the primary weapon for it & also use a short sword type weapon for melee combat (if possible).

[@edgarreyes414]

i started getting interested in mobile suits after playing mobile suit gundam battle operation 2 and the zudah is one of my favorite mobile suits

[@kolinmartz]

I used to chuckle at that first scene. I was like. That’s actually kinda wild if that was real. Museum pieces still fighting at war. Then I looked at real life and was shocked.

[@rizkaarifiandi5670]

Unicorn is fair IMHO while showing the usual Zeon is badass, they also have rare normal Feds aces, like the fearsome Byarlant custom and the awesome Stark Jegan pilot

[@anwenlokier2292]

In my school vr game the best unit in the rebake campaign is the trius a very very very powerful unit this thing can fight in land sea and space

[@Nehfarius]

Yeah, figured the Goog would be on here. :P It really seems like it was an amazing machine held back by unseasoned pilots at the time it was made, and even base-level Googs are proving that...much less the ReGelg, who only needed new shoulders and a new backpack to once again menace the big boys.

[@tycondrius23]

which series was that Zaku I sniper in ? I don't recognize the anime , then again its been a while since I've watch any newer Gundam shows aside from the build fighters era stuff.

[@tycondrius23]

@Chandelier Mirage Thanks :) . I must go and watch that it was up on Netflix recently.

[@MarilynMalkovich]

Technically speaking, the Turn-X was outdated by at least two and a half millennia by the time Ghingham crawled into it. (Same timeline fight me)

[@bamcorpgaming5954]

juaggu, acguy, and asshimar are some of my favorite suits

[@LagunaShirogane]

The Gelgoog is a beast in the right hands. I know this because i piloted a Gelgoog Ground Type (VD) in battle on GBO2 and managed to ward off 2 players while defending a downed ally who wasnt able to fight and they were picking on. I managed to kill one and made the other one run off (the one i killed got smacked on the backswing of my beam naginata and got hit with the offhand end of it). They couldnt move me off their target. Luckily my team mates came over right when the other guy ran off. Im known for jumping in between my down allies and their attackers making myself a shield. The Gelgoog Ground Type (VD) is good for this. Always favored the Gelgoog as my favorite mass produced MS other than the Gouf.

[@Gillymonster18]

Excellent video. I always have a soft spot for outdated technology that lasts well beyond its intended service life. That said...could these suits then be considered ahead of their time?

[@alphayun7401]

any chance for a video with the XXXG-01H2 or most armed gundam like the XXXG-01H2?

[@judeskater93]

Here's a suggestion I'm surprised I haven't seen been done yet by others, top five GM units. It can be personal favorites, it can be in terms of quality, or whatever.

[@DerpEye]

'many years' ... yeah, in reality a machine like that would take a decade before going into production.

[@s3d17]

According to MSV Johnny's Zaku 2 Full Bullet destroyed the FA-78 💪 Ultimately skill > technology Holds true in other universes as well. Celestial being kick some series ass with their GN Technology base suits.. but when the GN-X were introduced they had a very hard time fighting them.

[@WordBearer86]

Holds true in real life too.

[@hyperionrykoraz8185]

To be fair, the solar engines the gundams used were only really superior because they made their own particles, and had trans am to lean on, the only thing that made the GN-X "weaker" was that they were more general purpose, and lacked the hyper destructive gear the gundams were regularly fielding. The GN-X III remedies that by having a ton of specialized units itself, but still only seemed weaker because the celestial being crew were actual ace pilots by that time, and were able to outdo any normal GN-X III pilot

[@zqfmgb4335]

I'd say plot armor and mc power > everything else including logic but this works too.

[@jjrobledo]

you talk like this is real and part of history... awesome

[@johnheater6697]

If the Juaggu was mass produced...

[@sonwig5186]

If the Juaggu was mass produced Zeon would be the strongest sci-fi nation ever imagined.

[@Feiora]

Then Zeon would have even MORE KIAs due to the fact that the machine was built for a special intended role and still quite vulnerable to being killed by regular units...
