the RGM-79 Powered GM

[@calthepeacelovingclover5935]

Love the prototypes being used in trials and being scrambled/deployed alongside standard forces to bolster forces in a unexpected attack.

[@Errorcutive]

Thing is the whole test team is just rookies with no real flight hour in combat, and the shit thing is in the emergency they didn't pass Burning basicly the second best thing they got to the gundam, not that it mattered since he got upgraded with GM custom anyway but its bad practice to pass newer pilots the best stuff available.

[@zechsmarquis]

@@Errorcutive in many cases, the prototypes are far more powerful than the final design since most features/parts etc. get scaled down to allow mass production of units and parts.

[@Jadefox32]

@@Errorcutive actually putting a vet behind the controls of something they aren't familiar with can be just as bad. The GM custom was a better choice for Lt Burning in the end. Besides that the GM Powered was in the hands of a vet, just the Xamel and the Dom were in the hands of vets as well.

[@Tyebut22]

Well the gm powered was a monster and had extremely great performance. May be a prototype but it was basically a souped up gm kai.

If they do new Gundams this way, we would have to happy with 12 episodes or less and will have to wait for another year for a new season. 12 or less episodes is the future of anime.

[@seanwilliams5711]

Honestly, I like that the manga version kept the pilot alive for a bit longer. It made sense to see him compete and say he was more worthy of piloting the Gundam than Kou given he was the test pilot for this GM. Would of been nice to see him alive and use the powered GM more throughout the delaz conflict

[@c.cody.3886]

What happened in the manga?

[@SeanyBoy589]

@@c.cody.3886 So in the manga 0083 rebellion, the test pilot for the powered GM gets beaten still but he survives the encounter and actually heads off on the Albion along with Kou and Keith. He's resentful he doesn't get picked to the the Gundams pilot, despite his experience, but does become the pilot for a bit of a new version of the G armour that we saw in the original MSG show. Won't say anymore as I encourage the read, it's a great retelling of the 0083 story

[@c.cody.3886]

@@SeanyBoy589 yea thank you so much I read it. spoilers alert: In the manga He survived the encounter with Dom tropen because powered gm got hit in the massive bulky back pack by giant bazooka (but in the anime his unit was shot in point blank range right in the cockpit so he died right on spot.) Basically he was so traumatized by his near death experience and the death of his friend (the eff zaku ii pilot that got sliced in half by Dom troppen I forgot his name) that he wanted to become gp01 pilot because it has much better armor and a lot higher survivability than regular grunt units. Then he decided to leave Torrington base because he knew he couldn't be of much use??? However, he later discovered that a spy sabotaged the cannons on the Albion assault carrier leaving it vulnerable to enemy ms units that get too close so he decided to head back and take on the zeon remnants with g armor because there were no other ms available at the time. In the end he realized there was nothing he feared more than losing his comrades not even death so he sacrificed himself by driving his g armor into mega particle cannon of adzam repair (think of it as a hybrid of zaku I and apsarus 2-the 4 legged ma from the 08th ms team) to stop it from firing at the assault carrier.

It's a great battle where you can feel the performance difference between Powered GM and Zaku! The expression that it is difficult to aim with a machine gun is also interesting. It's surprising how easily Dom can beat him.

[@CatOnTheCouch]

Is a sneak attack, unless the pilot is a new type there is no way anyone can react that fast. I mean in the original novel even Amuro was taken out by a grunt and died a unceremonious death, so if is up to Tomino anyone is fair game.

[@Gingy_2006]

One of my favourite scenes in the whole anime, what a great way to start a show

[@GaldirEonai]

I wish more of Gundam took place on the ground. The fights have so much more _impact_ under gravity. What's especially galling to me is that later Gundam series (SEED, 00 once the newer MS come in, G-Reco, etc...) that take part largely on Earth just have every MS fly instead, aerodynamics be damned. Just let the giant robots use their legs for something other than takeoff, landing, dramatic poses and Char Kicks for a change... (This is also one reason I loved IBO so much. Things have _weight_ in that timeline.)

[@Errorcutive]

Back then i got a 0079 movie and saw how amuro bitchslapped a zaku to death, and tow it by the monoeye. The whole thing is sooo much nicer to watch than Freedom beamspamming back in 2005. The whole slap and tow had more weight to the whole thing. The Sword version of both strike and impulse get the least screen time. because animating a whole body movement of a anti ship sword swing and dodge or parry to react against it cost more than a beam rifle blip and explosion on the other end.

[@yanjirujan193]

To be fair, almost every weapon in IBO are physical weapon, not a beam saber, that's why it have 'weight' Besides, animating ground movements actually need more effort than just drawing some poses. You have to adjust the size of the Mecha and the background, draw the storyboard, drawing every movement of the limbs, adjust the frame of the Mecha with each other's, etc.

[@zegzbrutal]

I agree everything except the last sentence.... IBO's animation didn't drew well, even the director admit it's hard to draw walking/running MS, thus they just did the least&lame

[@steel749]

G gundam even with it's super robot powers was so fun to be back on earth using Mobile fighters

[@LoopBell]

I personally would give G-Reco a pass despite being a modern series because the combat scenes can get messy there. Environment often being involved and individuals acting on their own interest.

@Alpha Sidon It’s 0083, by this time the Feds had both large numbers of trained and combat experienced pilots on call. Once again I will standby my argument about the way the writing staff is Always giving Zeon forces an unfair advantage of plot armor.

[@TekkaSage]

@@johnsouto5221 to be fair they attacked a prototype testing base. The pilots stationed there were mostly rookies or basically retired IE: Burning but got mostly blown up by the Xamel shelling and Dom fire support in the baracks and command center. Pilots that did get out mostly were just stepping out of the hangers and shot instantly without having a chance. Zeon is always depicted as being more cunning and using surprise attacks given they lacked numbers and resources.

[@TekkaSage]

It's also worth noting all the experienced pilots were sent to space or stationed at key locations like Jaburo. The Federation at this point was becoming bloated, corrupt and arrogant after winning its version of WW2 and key shady players inside the Federation were secretly allowing the terrorists (zeon) to do a 9/11 (nuke which killed a majority of the Federation leadership) and a colony drop they were prepared to stop in advance to show off they were the protectors of the Earth to create the Titans in Zeta gundam and take control of the Federation. Zeon remnants were just pawns.
