Hi

[@TheAdorkableRJ]

Actually the Bound Doc IS a Federation MS. The Titans are a faction of the Federation who use a lot of Zeon-like MSs.

[@aliesterus1.023]

A lot of Zeon-esque Titans suits ended up in Neo Zeon, and stopped being used by the Federation after the Titans were disbanded though. The Marasai comes to mind for one.

[@ultimateblade4127]

@@aliesterus1.023 Yeah, the EF wanted to cut association with the Titans.

[@aliesterus1.023]

Yeah, I just wanted to point out that _some_ suits ended up technically being non EF suits.

[@alrighty323]

Then why on the box does it say “Titans prototype mobile suit”?????

[@dr.bright6272]

Almost all their suits save for the Mk 2 Gundams are Zeonesque. The Hi-Zack looks like an upgraded Zaku 2

"🎶You ain't nothin' but a Baund Doc Killin' all the time! 🎶"

[@lemeres2478]

So. Your first reaction is "what the hell?" Well.... the humanoid robot part is zeta weirdness. But the space ship part is due to UC lore stuff. In UC, even the space ships often have arms. Why? Because that is the entire justification for humanoid suits in the first place. It is AMBAC. Basically, the ships swing the arms around like acrobats so they can do turns without wasting fuel. it is a technique used by real life astronauts. So, when you ahve flailing arms on the ship, you might as well put guns on them. And hey- 4 'arms' are better than 2 for precise turning, right? And since this might need landing gear, you might as well make two of those into legs. BAM! Mobile suit made. Then, in zeta, they decided '6 is better than 4, right? Give them stupid wings'.

[@lamaduckie932]

Can’t wait for Gundam quadruple zeta where we have mobile spiders

[@lamaduckie932]

Also thanks for explaining why mobile suits have to be human shaped, I’ve been asking that for a while

[@xployalist]

Why do I feel like this is also the justification for the Grappler ships in Outlaw Star?

[@lemeres2478]

@@lamaduckie932 well, in the end, it is still pretty much bs. But at least it is nicer sounding bs.

[@tetsujin_144]

The real-life equivalent is a device called a reaction wheel - they are commonly used on satellites and spacecraft. One of the downsides to them is every time you use a reaction wheel to change the craft's rate of rotation, you have to change the rate of the reaction wheel's rotation - essentially you transfer the unwanted angular momentum to the wheel. So as you do more maneuvers, you wind up with the wheel having non-zero momentum (i.e. you have to keep it spinning, or the craft will start rotating again) - and the rate of the wheel can go up and up as you use if more - until you get to the point where you have to expend some propellant to cancel out the wheel's accumulated momentum. So you could imagine this on a mobile suit - it's tumbling through space, head-over-heels, and the pilot wants to stop the rotation before he throws up - so he starts spinning the arms around, like the robot is swimming. And until he expends propellant to negate the momentum, he just has to keep those arms spinning...

This review is baund to be a great transformable type

Baund doc sounds like something from ace combat. Actually, if you gave it a militaristic paint job and stuck a couple low bypass jet turbines here and there it could pass for an ace combat boss

[@zafranorbian757]

[@fishpop]

Now all we need for a complete Zeta collection is the Hizack Custom, Gates Baund Doc, Bolinoak Sammahn & Psycho Mk 2. There were also a bunch of MSV stuff that appeared throughout Zeta but6 those are just cameos.

[@hdhrdfsrkgh]

Wouldn't Gates's unit be the same product but painted grey? You know you can always get some paint? I think that product would be a bit higher tech than the normal Baund Doc to be actually buyable and profitable 😅

[@fishpop]

@@hdhrdfsrkgh If i painted it then it would look shit cos i suck at painting. Plus it would look obviously painted and thus stick out like a sore thumb. People always say "Well just paint it" but that idea can get knotted.

@@Amuro1X The Federation created the Titans and then the Titans' ideals became the opposite of the Federation, causing them to split from the federation, thus making them no longer part of the Federation, which explains why the Titans are the main antagonists of Zeta Gundam.

[@Amuro1X]

@@GojiraFan-in9oo I find it hilarious that you're trying to explain Zeta Gundam to me. The Titans are Federation organization. They were autonomous, but that doesn't change their origin or the fact that they were still effectively fighting a civil war with the AEUG for who would control the Federation forces. After their defeat, some Titans forces were even worked back into the regular EFF.

Fun machine? This is designed to kill and create bloodshed, as well as paint the town red. The beam guns are so deadly that it can eradicate an unprotected group of humans in one shot/punch a hole in a shaggy MS and explode it. How can you call this fun?

I think the awkward connection to the stand in mobile armor mode could be solved by putting the stand at an angle. So the "right" of the suit would be towards the "front" of nthe stand, and the "left" is "back". This is usually what I use whenever I want to get a suit's legs around the stand for poses with the let bending in and back

But it's huge, and comes with an action base - much like the RG Zeong which is my current all-time fave, and also aesthetically and kit design-wise quite similar (in its uniqueness and hot pinkness. Some of the articulation, especially the head and shoulders... Taking up a huge amount of space when 'fully deployed' :P) to the also-weird and also-Zeta Qubeley Revive - I think it's going to have to join it on that shelf!
