Psycho Gundam GRUESOME Development backstory (Gundam Lore)

[@gundamfacts]

Correction note: as multiple people have pointed out, there is so far no "official" representation of the Psycho Gundam Unit 8, aside descriptions of it being white and nicknamed the refrigerator. The white Psycho Gundam used to depict it in the video is actually a fanpainted project who applied the Psycommu Zaku HMT colors to the Psycho Gundam HG

[@NeoXNeo2007]

I didn’t knew the psycho Gundam had that much of a history Thank you for telling us bro.

[@gundamfacts]

To be honest nor was I before delving into Japanese sources

[@ZeonicFenrir]

Amusing video, but I do have one observation to make: in the main UC canon the EF didn’t capture any Zeongs, like they did in the Thunderbolt continuity. They only found the blueprints for the unit at A Baoa Qu, which IIRC was a major issue when trying to build their own psycommu. That seemed to mesh well with the idea from MSV90 that the MRX-002 was never built and that the original Psycho Gundam lacked remote combat weapons, these only appearing until the Psycho Gundam Mk II… which I don’t remember if it was ever justified how that leap took place. And as amusing as some of the units between the MRX-002 and MRX-007 sound, I would be okay considering those not canon and that the actual MRX-003 through MRX-006 only existed on paper and were likely rejected designs, given how they make some “later” models seem more… “bland” in comparison. If I’m perfectly honest, I also think that the design of the MRX-012 Psycho Gundam Mk III seems more credible than some of those weird designs. That being said, it’s not like the Mk III doesn’t have problems of its own. For instance, those things on its shoulders are supposed to be just beam guns or remote weapons? Some of the few comments I found about it even seem to question if it had a psycommu to begin with with. And its model number would place it between the old type use MRX-011 MPed Psycho Gundam and the MRX-13-3 G-Doors, whose design went in a completely different direction. As a side note, I read that the AMX-015 Geymalk was at first supposed to be another 40m MS, which would might have made it the more proper successor to the MRX-010, but plans to make it into a Gunpla reduced it to the 20m class (more like 25m)… after which the Gunpla model was cancelled. Oh, and the profiles at MAHQ indicate that both the Geymalk and Queen Mantha were classified as… mass production models! However, I don’t find that too surprising given that my own pet theory is that all those AMX-004G at the end of ZZ were upgraded AMX-004-2 units, hence the color scheme, but for which Haman had no newtype pilots for. I think it is rather fitting that Haman had the resources to mass produced such machines, but lacked newtypes to operate them, hence why she sent her embassadors to the different sides to get support for Axis/Neo Zeon and then became obsessed with recruiting Judau, despite seemingly never fully getting over Char. Could also explain why nut jobs like Mashymre and Chara Soon got high positions in her forces: anyone with a speck of newtype potential was considered highly valuable. And more importantly, could provide a justification for Glemy’s meteoric rise in Zeon’s ranks, by providing Puru as Axis first new newtype in a long time, but above all, one capable of operating one of these Qubeleys. I really like ZZ because it seemed a point where Axis/Neo Zeon had an excess of resources available, resulting in them mass producing machines with gundarium gamma at a time that the AEUG and EF seem to start doing budget cuts and only use the material for protecting key areas of the RGM-86 GM II, using older titanium alloy composite for the rest of the body. They mass produced transformable units (third generation MS by the old classification), the Gaza D probably being the most successful at this given that it fixed the problems of the Gaza C and by the last episodes of ZZ we see them fully replacing the Gaza C as their mainstay space MS, namely the large formation patrolling the Cicero asteroid. Last, but not least, I would have loved to see Haman fight against Judau’s FA ZZ with her custom Queen Mantha, like one magazine image that can be seen in the wikia depicts, specially considering she ended up using her Zeta era Qubeley Mk I instead for the final battle.

AE probably toke data and schematics from Quebley and used it on psycho gundam mk2.

OPENING PORTALS WHAT THE FUCK. shit unicorn seems tame now. Thanks Anahiem

[@GundamKType]

I think it's pretty awesome that psychcmo equipped mobile suits can now open portals. It's something I had headcannoned that psychoframe equipped units could teleport, but to have a pseudo confirmation of it is even better. And that there's a newtype dimension I'm a pretty mass of gundam fan,( My absolute favorite franchise) but I did not know that existed, and I am very happy that it does. Nice video. Interesting to find out that the NT-X had something to do with the psycho Gundam.

[@gundamfacts]

It's a fitting antecedants

[@aliastheabnormal]

The refrigerator. How fitting considering how many women die in the Psycho Gundam.

[@michaelbelonio3342]

People who hate Psycoframe: what the... newtype magic before CCA? Murasame labs: it's not us, we don't make this stuff, Flanagan made this and we just stuff it in 2 MS then went on our merry way😗, right AE? Flanagan institute: dunno, you guys tinker with our work, made 2 massive monstrosity, that went on a resonance then went poof. Why in the world you'll blame it on us?

[@borgar1765]

Psycho Gundam Systems 01/02 are kinda crazy but in an interesting way. Just further reinforcing the psycommu's unreliable and dangerous nature even though nobody involved learned anything from it, of course. And the nature of the source material means it can be easily disregarded even as an in-universe rumor or conspiracy theory if somebody wants to.

[@tachi1034]

so basically they made a hole in reality that of jumping into the warp.

Ever since playing gundam battle assualt 1 and 2 on the PS1 ive been in love with the pyscho gundam. More the MK III then the MK II or the original but thanks to moon gundam and the introduction of the MK IV there means maybe at least on paper or something there was some form of MK III so people can stop calling it non cannon now. Now if bandai would only finally give us a model of the MK II MK III and MK IV. I would be happy lol

1: stop ignoring my comments: 2: i know its a broken record BUT: MA-05 Bigro is long overdue seeing as how you have one in the background in every video and never even mention it.

[@gundamfacts]

Nah man, not ignoring your comments especially since you've been around almost since day one, just being busy with modding recently. As for the Bigro it's something I'm toying with, but given the number of variants I will probably cover the Van Walo first on it's own then move backward to do a much much longer video for the Bigro

[@justpassingby298]

24:40 that's not the actual unit 8... It's just colors a random guy gave them basee on psycommu zaku. Misingenuous to use that image and that custom color kit.

[@gundamfacts]

@@justpassingby298 I know that. It's just that the unit is said to be whitish and nicknamed the refrigerator. This custom build actually use the paint scheme of the Psycommu Zaku HMT. On the other side, it's the best way to show it without dragging a dark Psycho Gundam silouhette

[@justpassingby298]

@@gundamfacts you see. That's still spreading misinformation. Especially if you don't explicitly say what's going on. Also I don't have 30 minutes of time, so do you even bring up the OTHER unit 8? That was destroyed by the proto ZZ on the other side of the moon? Or the xanadu. The black doll from the turn A novel? ZZ full armor final test type which is closely linked to the psychos?
