[Mobile Suit Gundam] A wonderful design that has not faded even after 40 years.

1: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx36

I think Z is the coolest in Gundam.

But I think the variable mechanism is just too unrealistic.

12: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>1

The red part is the cockpit, but no matter how you think about it, the full-dome monitor and linear seat won’t fit…

19: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>12

The monitor doesn’t need to be spherical…

47: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>12

In the settings, it is a trapezoid.

2: Japan Otaku Reviews

I was surprised to hear that it would become MB.

3: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

It’s cool, but I’m not particularly fond of the Zeta face.

4: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

Now it’s one of many handsome faces, but…

It’s awesome to bring this in the second work.

5: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

Isn’t the hollow torso design quite sharp as a variable mechanism?

46: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>5

It should be set up like that, but when it comes to three-dimensionalization, everything ends up being filled with various mechanisms.

6: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I love Z’s side armor!

During MS mode, it gives a natural side armor feel while using the beam saber rack.

When transformed, it perfectly becomes a beam gun while evoking the silhouette of an aircraft.

7: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I also like Zeta Plus.

That gray, sharp-looking airframe and its armament are also nice.

8: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Every time I transform the model kit, I feel like the white part on the side is unnecessary.

43: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

So, is it good if something is stuck?

>>8

It’s just like a real blind person, so it comes with its share of criticisms.

9: Japan Otaku Reviews

It feels like there’s pretty much an answer for balancing transformation and proportion in models, but I hope they put in effort to recreate the size next.

With the current model kit transformations, you can’t place the Zeta Gundam or the Queen Mansa on top.

10: Japan Otaku Reviews

One of my five personally favorite Gundams.

17: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>10

There might be many people like that.

11: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder what kind of design it would have been if there hadn’t been a deformation quota.

13: Japan Otaku Reviews

You should be equipped with a grenade launcher, though.

I can’t really recall the scenes where it’s being used.

15: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>13

Frequently used on ZZ.

You often rush out without holding a beam rifle.

Only the saber and grenades are my only reliance.

14: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I secretly like launching missiles from my arms.

16: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Your face is too cool.

18: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Somehow, a beam rifle with an extendable barrel, a long beam saber, and a hyper mega launcher are added, creating a good balance.

20: Japan Otaku Reviews

When looking at just the variable mechanism, it’s quite similar to the VF-1.

21: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems that the design decisions for Z Gundam were struggling to be finalized when I watch the first opening.

22: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The Mk2 has evolved from the traditional old man to something completely smart, right?

That being said, the more you assemble plastic models, the more you think it’s impossible to do martial arts with that kind of flimsy frame.

23: Japan Otaku Reviews

The beam rifle has a telescoping mechanism, but it’s still a bit too long…

24: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

The all-around monitor and linear sheet aren’t all spherical like the MK-II, so they are designed to fit in.

MS Body Analysis Body Explanation ② Unprecedented Performance of the Wave Rider (WR) Form That Overturned the Concept of Existing Mobile Weapons The Wave Rider (WR) form has maneuverability that is equal to or superior to that of a normal flying MA form, demonstrating exceptional aerodynamic capabilities. Through the MSA-0011, which includes MS-00100〈Hyakushiki Kai〉, MSN, and MSN00105 Surinatch, it was completed as a prototype and AEWAC machine in the MSZ-006-X1, developed further from the ZZ Gundam conceived by AEA Z, while seizing the enormous firepower from its wings. The main development of MS began with the drastic changes made to the Wave Rider, which later equipped firearms and missiles. The upper half of the MS is modeled to resemble a flammable critical component. It is waiting for the effects of the technology transition of WPA, which is a collaborative product of EX. The expectation for Wave-Type’s standard access both inside and outside international airports is anticipated. The influence of major international locations is significantly observable, and as for MS, the system is developed for SFS use but remains untested for practical applications. The developmental process has involved the use of mobile suit technology and function adaptations to overcome issues. The standard configuration does not follow a singular rigorous methodology but is influenced by a variety of methodologies in mobile suit operation and performance examines. Overall structures are supported by A-HAL settings, and size and maneuvering capabilities are unavoidably examined under new regulations. However, general models are built using prior designs within limitations of established configurations. With increased public expectations for versatility and accessibility, research these alternative developments focuses on maintaining operational integrity and safety for combat-ready applications.

31: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>24

It looks narrow.

That’s why I say it feels stuffy with Camille.

35: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>31

Since the images are projected onto the wall to create a pseudo 360° representation, it doesn’t necessarily have to be a sphere.

25: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I feel the same posture in Z’s face design as in Ultraman Seven.

It has deviated from the original generation and resulted in a design that is atypical even within the series.

33: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>25

Well, it has horns unlike the initial design, so it looks like a Gundam.

I’m curious what would have happened if that hornless thing had passed by.

26: Japan Otaku Reviews

The cockpit is too big, right?

27: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think the drawback is rather that the cockpit’s protection is just a thin layer of red armor.

28: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>27

The Valkyrie only has one layer of armor over the canopy, but it looks like it has much thicker armor than that.

30: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>27

Also, the shield that would be slightly shaved because it would hinder deformation if it breaks…

29: Japan Otaku Reviews

Mark 2’s uncle-like evolution…?

I think they are also quite competitive over there, and the impact on those left behind is significant…

32: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It’s not just Gundam, but I’m really interested in the type where the arms, legs, and torso become hollow during transformation.

40: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>32

If you can operate, there’s no need to be packed tight.

34: Japan Otaku Reviews

The delicacy that seems unlikely to have been designed by an impulsive kid from Karataker.

36: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It’s hard to understand the strengths in the combat part.

41: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>36

A weird barrier appears.

Can induce sleep paralysis.

37: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think the fact that this comes after the first one shows a quite modern sense.

52: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

>>37

It may be the case for Gundam, but there are things like Elgheim in between…

56: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>52

Zabungle, Danbine, and Galient too.

The realistic robots have been trying various things.

59: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>56

Because Transformers was on air…

65: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>56

“Compared to those guys and Macross TF, their faces really stand out.”

I think it’s strong when it comes to heroism.

38: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Although it is deformed in a way that is quite unreasonable to carry the whole burden on the stomach, the silhouette is simply beautiful.

39: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It’s somehow fitting that the subsequent ZZ will conceptually resemble a combination of the First Gundam and Zeta.

42: Japan Otaku Reviews

A shield so hard that it pierces through the zio.

51: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>42

There’s no way Shield Bash is weak.

It seems like something is being thrust and stabbed.

53: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>42

It’s the ultimate answer to that shape.

44: Japan Otaku Reviews

The Psyco Gundam Mark II is being introduced as the Zeta, and the information is really all mixed up.

45: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>44

Where!?

48: Japan Otaku Reviews

I really like your incredibly handsome face.

49: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I think they took quite a risk with the main mecha that came out after the success of Gundam.

50: Japan Otaku Reviews

I felt a young vibe with the new key visual.

54: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

0.5 seconds is scary.

55: Japan Otaku Reviews

Was it around this time for Shadow Moon too?

57: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I realized in Gunpla that the foot parts have a really nice line, and just adding these makes the upper part look great even if it’s bulky.

58: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s a bit lonely that Gundams with faces like Z don’t appear much in later works.

60: Japan Otaku Reviews

When I was a kid, I didn’t understand at all where the head and arms went in the transformation, but I loved it the most because the shape changes so dramatically.

61: Japan Otaku Reviews

Upon closer inspection, this guy’s shoulders aren’t angular sideways.

62: Japan Otaku Reviews

I made the MG Ver Ka a little while ago, and I was amazed by how well it turned out.

It’s nice that the hands are properly large in the character design.

Yet the WR form and mobility are also impeccable.

Well, the paint and decals get scratched and it’s complicated.

Once I’ve transformed it once, I’m good to go… as usual.

69: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>62

I’ve been waiting for the one without the silver on the chest to come out.

63: Japan Otaku Reviews

Honestly, the wave rider mechanism is unnecessary.

64: Japan Otaku Reviews

If it can transform and become capable of entering the atmosphere, then it should be able to enter in MS form as well, right…?

66: Japan Otaku Reviews

I love the volume of flare pants, which gives off a beautiful leg vibe.

68: Japan Otaku Reviews

This is the second work, but…

This face isn’t often used later…

71: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>68

Because the quirks are too strong and the series has been established, the original → MkⅡ face has strongly established itself as an icon…

72: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>68

It’s too characteristic, so it becomes like, “This is Zeta!”

70: Japan Otaku Reviews

The part where the face appears with a “shakiin” sound in the opening of “With Love to the Water Planet” is really cool, isn’t it?

73: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s amazing that Mk-II and Z appear between Elguym.

You’ve over-polished it, haven’t you?

74: Japan Otaku Reviews

I like it without a slit.

All that’s left is the antenna gimmick and the stylish design of the duct.

75: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s not just the face, but the silhouette and color scheme of the shield in MS mode, the flaring shape of the shins, and the inverted triangle-like appearance of the wings on the back—all of these are really cool points, right?

That’s why it becomes such a cool airplane, it’s irresistible.

76: Japan Otaku Reviews

Mizuno has been a bit too much lately…
