Kakarot’s notes: Pfew, this video took a bit longer than expected. I thought it would be shorter, but then I just kept remembering other variants. The Gundam Wiki lists the Dagger L and Windam as analogues for the GM II and Jegan respectively. In the same vein, you could consider the 105 Dagger and Slaughter dagger as the CE versions of the GM Custom and GM Quel. Also, for the people wondering about the Windam’s VPS armor, there is the one source that lists it as such and I was able to find 1 instance of a grey (= VPS down) Windam. But on the opposite side, we can see Windams in storage, windams getting shot down by ballistic weapons and windam wrecks that all show no signs of VPS. I left it out of the video and I’m hoping the the manual of the upcoming HGCE will shed some more light on this. (It’ll probably list the armor material as unknown lol)

While they could operate on land, you had to actually modify the units to be better suited for ground combat if you wanted them to be effective there.

[@jacobstine1221]

@@VegetaLF7 The difference between a normal MS and a Ground type is the gyroscope is tuned differently. For space, you need to be able to be able to control your MS in a 360-degree environment while keeping your head on straight. While a ground type needs to compensate for Earths gravity and changing environments that the MS can face. Gundam Seed does a good job bridging the gap between space type and ground type MS, straight up showing you, Kira tuning the Strike Gundam for desert combat mid fight after coming to Earth.

You know, after I had written most of my own Gundam novel, it struck me that the overall designs were simplistic by Gundam standards, but then I realised that, given the setting it would make sense, though I must confess I was concerned they may be too simplistic, that they would be too plain! But then I thought that that might work in their favour, that people might actually like that about them, so I decided to jus roll with it!

@@theclassicpro8797 For the most part each unit is pretty standard fair, but the equipment is heavy duty, but rather straight-forward as it is designed to be mix-and-match, parts and weaponry from one Gundam can be used or equipped/attached on or to another! It's jus they mainly have individual inner mechanisms the others don't, the extra shocks in the sniper unit's arms and the transforming mechanic, for example! They're also designed best to operate in squads, the transforming unit to provide air cover as well as aerial reconnaissance for the sniper unit, for example! Hell, one is really an improved and more advanced version of two others! Although, I did go a little mad for the stealth unit...

[@TheHiddenBoss]

I remember seeing the Dark Dagger L in one of Jhhk’s MS compilations before his channel went down again. Surprisingly the most successful stealth unit in the entire franchise. As soon as two of them (literally the only two in existence) appeared for one operation, it’s completely gone without a trace moments later. Not even their own allies mentioned where the heck they went. Just blipped out of existence and from the memories of both writers and animators. It’s a shame too because it probably be cool to keep them around a bit longer. A pair of completely anonymous grunt suit pilots whom you’ll never meet in person but will always recognize from the machines they pilot, being as much as or more of a threat than the characters with established identities.

Kind of a shame. Seed did have interesting elements to it. Sad that it crashed in the main narrative. At least we have to the side stories.

It could’ve been good, it could’ve been one of the Gundam AUs to stick around after the UC hangs up their military uniform, but Gundam Seed and Seed Destiny both have their basket of issues and tend to crash at the halfway point. Lots of good side stories and supplemental world building material though. And decent mecha designs even though the general design of most of the flight units look like they’re borrowed straight out of Metal Armor Dragonar (a pretty neat mecha anime outside of Gundam, btw). Also plenty of songs played throughout both shows from OPs, Inserts, and EDs.

The Specialist Daggers (Duel, Buster, 105, etc.) for 2nd-in-command members 3. The L2 as standard grunts 4. The extensively watered-down Dagger as training MS For the record: 1. Phantom Pain was omitted because that's its own thing 2. The 2nd generation Gundam mass production units are another factor to work around

"Hold it's own against the fearsome Freedom Gundam" for like a few seconds

[@canisblack]

Given that the Freedom was designed from the ground up to absolutely /slaughter/ mooks in mass lots the fact that a mook suit can stand up to it at all is kinda telling. It's a recent revelation, but looking at the way they were designed and what we see of their performance and taking into account that they had a dedicated transport platform for just the two of them I believe that the Freedom and Justice were designed as super weapons. The Freedom would massacre the enemy at range and the Justice would hang out as a bodyguard to the Freedom and deal with anything that got past its barrage and the Eternal would be transport. The Providence was either intended as proof against the two being turned against ZAFT's leadership or an additional bodyguard unit...though given the limitations of BV War I, I think it might well have been a custom suit designed for Rau himself.

[@spiceracksargent0014]

​@@canisblack​ The Providence Gundam was actually designed to fill a nearly identical combat role to the Justice. Both were designed as close combat Mobile Suits, but where the Justice was far more mobile, the Providence was far more durable, having the heaviest armor rating of the original ZGMF-X series G-Weapons, with the possible exception of the modular Regenerate Gundam. After the Providence was assigned to Rau le Creuset following the skirmish at the Mendel Colony, however, Rau ordered the Providence Gundam be retooled for his personal use. This meant outfitting the close-combat intended Providence with an improved version of the Dreadnought's Disconnected Rapid Armament Group Overlook Operation Network System and gun drones for omni-directional combat. Because the Providence was already mostly completed when this happened, some of the parts for the new DRAGOON System could not be properly internalized within the machine's frame, with the standout detail of the near ramshackle nature of this retooling being the six quantum communication cables running from the new backpack to the machine's chest.

[@TheHiddenBoss]

I suppose in the Strike Dagger’s defense, it actually saw more successful kills than the RGM-79 GM and it didn’t get branded cannonfodder for life by a red Z’gok stabbing it in the stomach or any other amphibious mech for that matter. It’s also much closer in performance to the Strike Gundam than the GM was to the RX-78. Phase Shift Armor was something you can live without and beam weapons were much more dependable without something else draining the battery. The major downside however, are the pilots. Despite being competent against their opposing factions, the EA grunt pilots aren’t exactly the most likable people; not to mention a little too bloodthirsty. Sure, the Federation has its share of corrupt officials and jerks, but there were at least a fair amount of good people and likable pilots among them.

[@darkkira1332]

@@Alexzander1989 RGM-79 was capable of using the gundam's beam rifle. So your argument is invalid. Beam spray gun was prefered as its cheap to produce and they need vasts numbers to equip their MS. Some GM models, like the early type, were fielded with the gundam's beam rifle. Strike Daggers on the other hand are incapable of using strike's beam rifle. parachute? Its main focus was to be operated in space. And it did.Also, its technically possible to be equipped with a parachute pack as its already available, however EFSF didn't pursuit too many paradrop offensives during OWY. And if they did, they have the RGM-79(G) and RX-79{G} for such situations. The RGM-79 was also lighter and faster THAN the gundam and cheaper. Thats quite the improvement. Striker packs? Oh you mean Bandai's excuse to sell off more kits? Striker packs in theory are not that bad, but did that bothered ZAFT's GINN series? or ORB's Astray? And no, Strike daggers were incapable of using Striker packs, only the "105" Dagger and its successors can wear that equipment. Why bother building more equipment when you can deploy a vast army of MS?

Can't say the same for Seed sadly. Additionally, there just isn't that many variations of the Dagger unit. Once again comparing to the GMs, the sheer amount of variations (Ground type, space type, sniper, etc) means Bandai can easily put out twenty different versions of the kit from a single mold. So yeah, it all comes down to profit unfortunitly.

@@echos5823 that’s a good assumption. And if that’s the case, the Archangel sure made things worse before they made them better didn’t it?

[@jetblackangelX]

The Dagger OS is a natural-use OS based on the combat data gained from the Strike Gundam. The dagger is preprogrammed with maneuvers from kira's battles to make it easier to pilot. Earth forces had about five months worth of kira combat data when the dagger rolled out

You should cover the double 00 and it’s riser system, along with the other misters.

I really wish there was more time for the Windam to shine. Aside from Neo's Windam it was shafted so hard. I really love the design, but I'm glad we're finally getting a kit of it in a few months. I hope we get more Dagger's in the future.

Windam is also a badass mass pro mobile suit.

the daggers were more capable than depicted in the show, but i gotta say that the most criminally under depicted mobile suit would have to be the the orbs M1 Astrays. these things were absolute BEASTS performance wise, with capabilities similar to the gundams but less heavily armored (they lacked phase shift because orb couldnt get their hands on the tech until kira and co landed in their laps, but later it was added to the commander variants) though they did possess laminated armor. these suits suffered not from performance issues but rather pilot ones. when the orb came under attack from their former "allies" their pilots lacked real combat experiance. and they suffered heavy casualties because of this. its a real shame too, because after kira got ahold of the os and adjusted it, he didnt just make it usable by natural pilots, he enhanced it. ive always thought that the M1 was just never given a proper chance to shine in seed, it and the suits that were designed from her have always been the most powerful main line mobile suits of any major faction in universe, and continue to be one of my top favorite "grunt" suits in all of gundam.

[@trollinoakenshield9822]

M1 astray never depicted having laminated armor or PS armor, also there are no commander variant, even jean carry use white colored standard M1. It performance never on par with gundam either, M1 only slightly better than strike dagger in term of speed n weaker than GUAIZ. Even the 4 prototype astray performance is lower than the original 5 GAT-X gundam

@Kakarot197, awesome video!! But now I have a ton of responses. What do you think of the lone Long Dagger pilot who survived a brief encounter with Yzak Joule at the Battle of Panama? When (i.e.: how soon after the capture of the four G weapons) did BuCUE’s get their ‘mouth’-mounted beam sabers? Also, were permanently mounted that way due to ZAFT not reverse-engineer a means for beam saber blades to project from shafts without being directly connected to the mobile suit? Also, the Strike Dagger was/is superior to the GINN in ground combat. The GINN’s thrusters gave it greater mobility in space, allowing the GINN to get in close and penetrate the Strike Dagger’s armor as easily as a Mobeius’.

Hi, first time that I comment on your channel, I would like to make a request if possible, to make a video about the tallgeese series units, is my favorite unit of all, and I would be great to know the whole story of its development
