The Shokew is the perfect arch-nemesis to the Victory Gundam.

[@gundamfacts]

An excellent prelude suit before giving the MC a Gundam

[@Gingy_2006]

I've always seen the Rig Contio and Gottrlatan as the arch-nemesis of the Victory

[@shinju112]

This suit and it's successors + variants are on of the few production line MS I like in late UC when it comes from the antagonist factions. They knew what they were doing when giving it some gundam elements, but hot damn I forgot about the Rig Shokew Kai. A beam whip, compososite shield weapon while also having the basic equipment Rig Shokew and still able to fight newer generation suits? I'd love to get my hands on such a well-armed mobile suit.

[@gundamfacts]

The most awesome thing is that actually the Gedlav (the yellow one with the Einerad) and its related variants are said to be loosely developed from the Godzorla. This would mean the Shokew line is basically behind 90% the successful mp MS of Zanscare.

[@shinju112]

@@gundamfacts Honestly I completely forgot about the Godzorla, I need to rewatch Victory Gundam. Really cool to know the Shokew did that much for Zanscare.

[@MidoriNatsume]

You cannot imagine the extremely powerful facepalm I did when I realized that Vespa has it's name because of the guy obsessed with Bikes. 😅

[@sev2136]

Zanscare > Makes a fairly high performance general purpose suit with no real gimmicks outside maybe the wires in it's head and feet that can be modified with different equipment. Also Zanscare > GIVE THIS HELICOPTER BUG MANDIBLES ON IT'S HEAD SO IT CAN BITE SUITS!.

[@gundamfacts]

I admit, the Domuttlia developement was essentially:"yeah the Tomliat is a well rounded model, capable of transforming into a warfare copter, let's make an even more militarized version. Oh? Yeah yeah let's add beam mandibles in the head, who doesn't want to bite their opponent right?"

[@sev2136]

Still waiting on my 1/100 Shokew. This MS is so striking. It comes across as Zanscares attemp at mimicking the Gundam. Just love this MS!!!!!

[@gundamfacts]

The Vespa needs love

[@examsystem3081]

Hopefully late UC will receive some more high quality animations after the Hathaway arc

[@gundamfacts]

Gibbe that F90 OVA

[@michaelfuller7635]

I honestly love the odd ball designs myself. Turn a, g self, barbatos. 😊

[@christianrobledo6172]

Made me love the Rig Shokew Kai even more! I need a kit of that too!!!

[@beefbigshot8789]

Awesome video! Really great lore this time around. Everyone loves the Shokew!

[@gundamfacts]

Honestly it's heartwarming to see that despite how unloved the Zanscare suits are, the Shokew was also well received by the UC community

[@ODSTfilmz1917]

Bandai really needs to make more gunpla from v gundam and f91

[@scorpionvenom27]

Weird mobile suits have a certain charm that just can't be matched

[@giornogiovannatheultimateb8553]

Nice.

[@gundamjack24]

I wonder how the technologies of Federation/league militaire, Jupiter Empire/Republic and Zanscare compared to each other. Judging from gundam crossbone/steel 7/ghost, it seems the feds have way advanced techs for elite units. For instance, Jupiter developers need to create 3 units to counter crossbone gundam X1 because they can't combine the relative advantages into 1 unit. They somehow steal some techs and create the Phantom, but it can't even move. In ghost, Zanscare suits often get ass kicked by crossbone gundam X0, a suit created more than 20 years earlier. Medas is somehow interesting (specialized in electronic warfare) but overall Zanscare suits are nothing more than EXP in ghost. I know the crossbone gundams are protagonists but the fights feel not as difficult as earlier UC.

[@gundamfacts]

I have to slightly disagree with the Zanscare suits. Victory show us how effective their mp suits are (all the Einerad suits, even the Zolo and Zoloat are depicted as reliable assets) and how their Top class of suits (Gengaozo, Zanneck, Rig Contio) are apex predators. Sure Zanscare get trashed a lot in Ghost, but it's also mainly because Hasegawa give all the bad guys effectiveness credits to Thoucus all the time, which is fair considering the diversity and effectiveness of their suits.

[@PaladinodoCerradooficial]

Vespa Gundam, its a nice name to a gundam.

[@gundamfacts]

Right?

[@emperorhadrian6011]

That ending music slaps.

[@rolandjaycutter3504]

Great video mate, but I think you should look at the section names on the progress bar.

[@gundamfacts]

Thanks mate! Fixed now

[@stephenemery8831]

My recommendation came to pass!!!

Rest assured, it will be made someday 😊. In the meanwhile, let's enjoy the Shokew
