We all know this was inevitable. Also, I want to point out something I’ve never seen anyone talk about when it comes to the GM Quel. The ones that appear at the end of the 0083 anime are visually distinct from the lineart and later modelkits/action figures (the most obvious ones are the lower legs resembling those of the GM Custom and the lower arms resembling those of the GM Kai). This could mean that an early/rollout version existed prior to the final production version. (an IRL explanation could be that the animators/artist either made a mistake or received an earlier sketch)

[@r1l426]

@@justpassingby298 heavy full armor Seventh Gundam is pretty crazy. There are also the Solomon express variations.

[@PSC4.1]

There is seventh...but we can only speculate, I mean the og Gundam was pretty outdated in comparison to the Gundam designs that came after, the reason was due to advances in technology going into the frame of the mech, the cockpit could have been adjusted to be a working version, however you lose the ability to eject via fighter craft, besides that the only upgrades I can see working would be engine upgrades, thruster upgrades, weapons upgrades, allowing it to carry ammo for a clip-fed beam rifle or other equipment, loss of the fighter for a linear cockpit, and if they even wanted to try it, add psycho-frame to allow it to respond just on thought, however, the mech would retain its size and out height practically all of the mechs that came after the battle of Aboa Qu.

[@nialltealeaf275]

If we count Thunderbolt as canon, Fleming's FA Gundam would survive and sortie against the Atlas with the Reuse Psycho Device Mk. II (for greater irony, Daryl Lorenz was the Thunderbolt Mk. II's pilot, assisting Levann Fuu's Psycho Zaku Mk. II).

[@chancecleavelin4834]

Yes it literally is an angelic v-fin. I believe it is also able to greatly enhance its communication and sensor suite (making it an ideal commander unit) and enhancing phycowaves, allowing to better control the ludacris amount of weapons it can carry, in addition to looking amazing.

[@shauqiharris2772]

[@porkflaps4717]

[@corporategunner5972]

From a simple GM Quel to an incredibly deadly Gundam. Now, that's some impressive progression all for a mass produced mobile suit that's known to do absolutely nothing on-screen.

[@andrehashimoto8056]

i would say.... the Hazel II woul be perfect material for a "Plunderer" Gundam, a Gundam whose Specialty is having NO ISSUES WITH ANY GIVEN PIECE OF EQUIPMENT OF ANY SIDE, including FCS compatibility.... would make for a rather TERRIFYING FOE if Piloted by a DECENT PILOT (at least on the level that can give NEWTYPE ACES a run for their money and even have decent odds of beating them ), Imagine it suddely picks a Zeong II arm with Beam cannon fingers, just reboots it's inner systems them starts spamming.... and even boots the Psycho Hickjackers it has, and as soon you destroy said arms, he has a Hyper Bazooka plus a pair of RMV cannons running and targetting you...

[@twelfthknight]

A real Ship of Theseus question there. I'd say when they call it a Gundam it's a Gundam. Still, I wish the AoZ designs were more what the Titans suits looked like in Zeta like rather than the more alien Zeon-esque designs.

[@acidous]

tbh gabthley, hi-zack, galbaldy beta and marasai (especially when you take off its helmet) all looks more zeonic than the actual axis zeon suits, so whatever. If anything, AoZ designs shouldn't look more advanced than even the f91 era suits (seriously, how they're powering up all those crazy powerfull guns?). They should also scale down on superweapons, but that's the problem with gundam stories in general - you either end up with colony drop or a gigant superlaser.

[@TheHiddenBoss]

The Hazel certainly looks way more advanced looking and hi-tech than the stuff in Zeta Gundam. For one thing, all that special equipment and upgraded forms looks exactly like the stuff you’d see in an original unit from the SRW series; namely the Huckebein MkIII in particular.

[@beefbigshot8789]

I think the explanation would be that all of the experimental technology used on the Hazels is the raw uncut forms of them with a bunch of guts sticking out whereas when this tech would be used on mass produced models it was cleaned up more. Sorta like the innards of a computer looking super high tech until you put the case on them and cover them up for safety

Well, Titans need numbers during that stage of the war being surrounded from all sides, so, ya, Barzam is the ones they left with, with possibility that it was strip down from the refined Barazam design to ease production. Too bad that a large number of them lost when harman ram Axis onto A Ba a Que.

7:17 That weapon configuration, reminds me of the Gundam X-Divider's "Beam Harmonica" Shield.

[@MasterArchfiend]

That's a fantastic question. Obviously it became classified officially with the designation change, but I think that the moment it became a proper Gundam was when its performance exceeded that of the average mass-production units of its time. We're talking a big difference and not something like 0.2% better.

[@spiceracksargent0014]

"At which point did it go from being a GM Quel to being a Gundam?" The way I see it, there are two answers to this question: an "on paper" answer, and a "inner mechanics" answer. The "on paper" answer, would be that the Hazel II became an official Gundam when its name and model number were changed from RGM-79Q GM Quel Hazel Reserve Unit to RX-121-2 Gundam TR-1 [Hazel II]. This was when the "Little GM Quel that could" was officially rolled out of storage and pushed into service. The "inner mechanics" answer, then, is that the Hazel II became a full-fledged Gundam when it was further redesigned into the RX-121-3C Gundam TR-1 [Haze'n-thlay]. By this point, few, if any, of the parts of the original GM Quel Hazel Reserve Unit remained, being mostly parts derived from, or intended for use by, the Gundams TR-1 and TR-6. The other incarnations between these two points, then, are a gradual phasing out of specific components, gradually making the Hazel II less of a GM Quel, and more of a Gundam. Those be my thoughts on the matter, at least. What do other peoples think?

[@BronxDragon]

I still think this thing was a "gundam" from the start. As in a experimental suit to just throw things at and see what sticks. The Hazel's development history is just insane. A gundam for me will always be hi-end super prototype or a experimental unit to field taste new doodads. Sometimes both.

Gundams are usually combat ready testbed machines, usually being the most powerful machine of its time of creation but still practical enough to participate in combat. With other MS usually being scaled down versions of it if a mass production run is made from its designs. With that said, it became a true Gundam unit when it was upgraded into the Advanced Hazel.

My theory gundam mark2 was design after gm quel(gundam head) with proper engineering as a true gundam, we can all agree gundam mark2 did hold on long in wars. even its was left behind in technology competition in the middle of gryps conflict, but it still be able to fight until the axis war and continue being used by a beam magnum addicted pilot after 2nd neo zeon war.

[@andrehashimoto8056]

@@acidous, Unicorn Era Banshee disagrees..... Technically, Booster Propellant detonating isn't LETHAL of a MS so long the cockpit area hasn't become exposed, it's rsther that because Shields for MS are SUCH EXPENDABLE equipment by design that both sides wanted SOMETHING else to validate the use of so many Materials to mass produce a piece of MS standard gear that gets deatroyed every single battle

[@andrehashimoto8056]

Rocket fuel is rather fine imo, as level of damage would depend a lot more about the AMOUNT in the fuel tank. Stupid is to have the shields be equiped with AMS ROCKETS such as the Revil Ship Jengans, since it's a DEDICATED MS combat weapon, having it detonate FAR too close the MS torso is the most dangerous aspect as the shield has to take it into account when being designed and it raises far more issues (i.e: it has to have a Blow out zone to redirect the explosion if it gets hit, this means some sectors are less armored and become weakspots, further making the purpose of having such a Shield useless)

[@sael91]

That is one top Quelity Gundam. For my money, it became a Gundam the minute they started designating it as such. In UC especially, there's general traits that we can look at that are usually shared by Gundams, but those traits aren't universally shared by all of them.
