>>22946340AMBAC
>>22946340Yes because they are created in the image of Almighty God just like man was.Anything else?
>>22946340Do your own homework.
>>22946340What subject?
>>22946340Yes. Shut up.
>>22946347This
>>22946340In the first Gundam novel it's said that Cotechino Modena, the father of humanoid robot design, believed that technology that invoked mans' unconscious desire to return to the womb would result in the next stage of human evolution.

>>22946370Its a design analysis for industrial design>>22946406The teacher said it was fine, he likes robots too
>>22946340In newer shows it's usually because they're developed from construction machines that were further developed to have human functionality. In IBO and WFM it's because humans control them through a neural interface, at least at the time of their invention
>>22946413>Its a design analysis for industrial designIt's a failing grade.

>>22946340Several Actually. From just the early UC alone. Zeon used the guise of space construction and mining equipment as an excuse to the federation being the buildup to the one-year war as mobile suits had never been used in a combat role before then this let them build up a larger army without arousing as much suspicion. Zeon needed a piece of equipment that could function both in space and in land battles, a traditional space fighter craft would not be able to do that the Zaku line however was capable of fighting in both environments. Due to the unique nature of the Minovsky Particle engagements from longer ranges were considered unviable so traditional battleship and fighter designs were less effective the Zaku line using The Active Mass Balance Auto-Control let them both turn in a dog fight faster than a fighter or turn without the use of fuel. The Federation despite the limitations focused heavily on a battleship centered space fleet a traditional fighter craft as a harder time taking down a battleship than a mobile suit since the mobile suit can just mount onto the enemy battleship and tear it apart with melee weaponry. There are more and other reasons for other Gundam timelines and later in the UC timeline as well but those are just some foundational ones that the basic UC timeline had.

Origin gave Zakus more of a development from mobile worker machines, but still never really showed them doing any actual menial work. I actually wish this was part of the lore, it would make for a really convenient way to easily train thousands of civilians and have them easily transfer into MS pilot roles for the war.>since the mobile suit can just mount onto the enemy battleship and tear it apart with melee weaponryWell it's more that Zakus carry heavier weapons. A Zaku's 120mm machine gun makes the Saberfish's cannons look like peashooters, and the 280mm bazooka fires battleship-sized shells. Aside from glamor shots of the Black Tri-Stars ripping up a warship's bridge with a giant heat hawk, it's not like we ever saw the regular grunts hacking ships to death with a thousand cuts.
>>22946640Trust me, I couldn't give less of a shit about gundam lore. It's just for the assignment since it's a science fiction show.
>>22946345That doesn't make sense.
>lol I don't care about gundam>now do my homework for meAsk chat gpt like every other zoomer in your class. I'll give you a hint though, how do astronauts move without using thrusters? It has to do with cats.
>>22946993I have seen everything up to Turn A, when I say lore I mean the expanded universe stuff. I just care about whats in the shows and none of them really answered why ms are humanoid. Origin kind did but I hate the Origin
>>22946751>Pretty sure there's never been a mining disguise for a Zaku.I think it was less "here's a Zaku Pickaxe-type" and more "oh yeah, we're making twenty thousand super heavy motors for... digging."
>>22946751You don’t remember all the digging?
>>22947255He was animated?
>>22947261No I’m just saying a lot of 0079’s runtime is dedicated to mining and excavating
>>22946340Needed a weapon system that could fight in a variety of locations. Under gravity in colonies, on the moon in low gravity, and in open vacuum. They already had bipedal worker mech that did all three, so MS were just a militarization of that existing concept.
>>22946791Sounds like you'd be better off going to trade school.
>>22946740What's the source for the first part? I know the Zakrello was based on a cartoon character so people would be inclined to write off any leaks about its development, and mobile armor development as a whole, as hoaxes. >>22946751The Minovsky manga says that the granddaddy of all Zakus is this weird transforming NASA X-plane, which was made for combat. It would have definitely raised eyebrows for Zeon to be using technology made for combat, but I guess different applications exist.
