Mecha fans, which is your favorite design of the Gundam Wing groups?

Originals - seen at the beginning of Gundam Wing
Kais - seen later in Gundam Wing (these include Wing Zero and Altron)
Customs - seen in Endless Waltz
Heavy Armors - Redesigns of the originals, done by Hajime Katoki

First off: Wing Gundam:

Original:


Kai (Wing Gundam Zero):


Custom (Wing Zero Custom):


Heavy Armor (Wing Glider):

No expert, but I prefer the heavy armor.

I personally like the serpent custom the best.

All I want is reactions on how they look. Heavy Armor are my personal faves. I'll put Deathscythe up once I get a few more replies.

Heavy Armor DEFINITELY looks the best.

Hajime Katoki was the one who designed the MSes in 08th MS Team, right?

Deathscythe

Kai:


Custom:

I like his style. IMO the ground gundam and the ground GM looked a whole lot better than their space counterparts.

Especially the 180mm cannon... I own almost everyone in my arcade in Renpou vs Zeon using that gun...

Sandrock

Original:


Kai:


Custom:


Heavy Armor (Sandrock Ripper):

And finally, Shenlong and Altron

Original:


Kai (Altron):


Custom (sometimes called Nataku):


Heavy Armor (Shenlong Assault):

Check out the size of that dragon fang!

Imagine the horrific damage you could do with that flamer...

Hell, just imagine it slamming into something!


Oh, and I don't like the Cannon, it's too cumbersome. I prefer the machinegun/rocket pods combo.

Which cannon?

the 180mm you mentioned earlier.

No no no I mean for the Ground Gundam.

I personally use the missile/MG combo myself for the Zaku II and i can won up to the fifth stage befpore those guntanks start gangraping you.

I don't know why, but I've always liked Sandrock the best.


Hey, which Gundam Pilots are straight? I know several of them are gay.

They're ALL gay.

At least they look that way.

Aha. I use the beam rifle for the GG, (hey, it's a Gundam, I might as well).

I use the machinegun for the GM.

I've gotten a Zaku to the 7th level, but there I always get trashed and have to switch.

Oh, and have you unlocked the MA? I've got em all, and my fave is G-sky. My partner and I tend to pull off some awesome combos using G-sky and Guncannon.

My favorite MS overall is Guncannon.

I use all the MSes.

But the ones I am best with are Ground Gundam Cannon and GM (Yes, I AM a GM ace and have trashed many Char Gelgoogs hoping to make a name for themselves). Guncannon is great too - it's so fun cutting a Char Zaku out of his flying kick with both barrels of the shoulder cannon.

For Zeon i like the Char Zaku and the Dom, as well as the Gouf. I don't use the Zock much but I can OWN with him.

Let's not talk abouit the cheesy Gundam and Gelgoog... those are for posers...

I play the arcade and the DC version. IMO the PS2 version is crappier... the textures suck and it's DUBBED! Do you know how many taunts were lost in the conversion? Believe me, once you hear the Black Tri-Stars gloat over their opponents' smoking wrecks you will NEVER go back.

And it's priceless to watch a Gouf drop out of the sky and get a boot to the face.

Oh, HELL yes. You've just gotta play him far away, like a Guntank.

But nothing is better than pulverizing the 'mighty' Gundam with a Zaku I.

*shrug*

I play MechCommander. ph33r my l77t hellcat skillz.

Though, is BTech higher-tech or lower-tech than Gundam?

Ahhh... yess.... the last time I killed a Guncannon with a ZAKU I IN MELEE the other guy was going "WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?!"

And then with the Guncannon I ducked UNDER a Gouf's Heat Rod and won the battle...

A friend and I managed to do this... Both using Gundam, he backshoots the Char Zaku and right after that I do the forward air-dash melee and finish him off. Looked great, especially since the finishing pose had us looking away from each other with the smoking wreck burning between us.

Lower tech in terms of mecha.

I don't know about ships.

And Mechcommander is cool too. I like the Timber Wolf... no, it's MAD CAT to you inner Sphere people...
