People who prefer Zakus, what are your least favorite Zaku-derivative designs?

People who prefer GMS, what are your least favorite GM-derivative designs?

As a certified fencesitter, my least favorite Zaku is the Zaku 4. Least favorite GM is the GM Sniper II.

I wonder if they'll ever get around to showing all the Zaku 5 to 49 models before I die

As a GMfag I'm not too big on the GM Sloep/Sloop, mainly because of its extremely limited production and use case.

I forgot about that long boi. It's unique at least, reminds me of the Dra-C a little bit.

The Zaku 50. How do you fuck this up so bad?
Also, I like GMs too, even if I am rockhard for Zakus, but I despise the Nightseekers.

The Hi-mo ground types from Doan's island

Same. I hate the Doan’s zaku

Warrior from Seed. If that's cheating, the F2 Rangefinder and Gunner from Phantom Bullets are just kinda ugly. Which is a shame since GP00 and the Gelgoog J are so neat
>least favorite GM
never cared for Sniper II. Meanwhile I'm a big fan of Command and all the other Sniper ones

Too bad the Zanny never got an uplevel in GBO2. It's stuck in 250 forever.

Probably the Marine type. I just really don't like its silhouette. Honorable mention to >>22591869 but I barely consider it a MS in the first place
>>
>>22591869
being ugly is kinda the point of it, no?
>>
>>22592564
I'm also weirdly in this spot. I feel like it's sacreligious but I'm really not big on GMs like the Sniper II, GM Custom, or GM Quel. They're all elite variants of some kind of a rather robust suit for anyone and yet for all that they do very little. The Quel especially I find egregious, something about it feels so wasted.

He's a fattie. The Hizack Custom is superior because of its head brim.

It's Zaku maths, they just stacked Zakus to get Zaku 50

AOZ saved the Hi-Zack in my eyes.
Anyway, if we're counting Zaku-like machines I'm not a fan of the Geara Zulu. Design-wise it feels like a regression of the Doga and its performance is similarly disappointing.

the gm iii ended up being a relatively straightforward grunt despite debuting in a super robot show how the fuck did the zaku iii become the one saddled with beam mouth beam skirt beam ex wife bullshit
thank god kenki fujioka decided to redeem it with the g model

i feel like i wasn't as dissapointed by the geara zulu just by knowing that it was a modern katoki design
it makes me wonder how 80's sentinel katoki would tackle a geara zulu

There are a lot of ugly Zakus from the early art concepts and manga. You'll find a Zaku in every color combination specialized for some stupid task. But my pick has to go to the MS-06FZ Zaku II Kai with the Frtiz helm. I like the normal Zaku Kai, but the Fritz Helm looks like some shit a 16 year old wehraboo would design. (Same with the Geara Zulu.) The "successors" weren't as cool either. (Zaku III, Hizack, Geara Doga, etc.)
>>
>>22591784
act zaku or zaku 3

every other zakus are sexy
>>
>>22593206
I don't outright hate the Zulu, but it feels like it crosses the line from 'inspired by' German soldiers and old Japanese gas masks into looking like it's just a robo-nazi
The sleeves also look dumb. It's a weird visual choice and even weirder that it somehow becomes the shorthand name for the faction.

NTA but the Sleeves's, uh, sleeves are kinda interesting, they transpose the typical Zeon ostentatiousness that was everywhere from their uniforms, through manors to even ship interiors in Axis's case. It's a curious evolution of their "culture" for lack of a better term and how they try to maintain their identity. Almost a little artificial, which tracks given they're only being kept up by Republic support for political gains at this point. IIRC Full Frontal's faction began being called that by others and then adopted it officially, or at least accepted the moniker.
But visually speaking I'm not all over it in most cases.
As for Geara Zulu it's probably my most hated design in the entire bloody franchise.

>>22591784
I don't like the Apsallus line, especially after playing a couple of SRW games. You have this overhyped unit that blows its EN load too quickly and can be easily countered by submerging your units before it goes into MAP range.
The last time I played SRW AP and recruited Aina, I shoved her into the HM Zaku II and never looked back at the Apsallus II she comes with.
>>
>>22594645
It's kinda meant to be impractical since it's built for an incredibly specific purpose. Big Zam could at least double as a space MA.
Also being designed by a certifiable nutjob didn't help.
