This little thing always intrigued me. Mashing a tank with a jet on top. I know it's because Gundam was the first to attempt these things on a 'real robot' basis and still had some super robot aesthetics, but is there any explanation in-universe for this design aside from 'lol Zeon liked it's wonder weapons'?

>>23029906Zeon, being a space colony, had little experience with ground and atmospheric flight vehicles, and instead focused their development on mobile suits and ships to carry mobile suits, so their actual non space stuff ended up fucking terrible due to lack of experience and poor funding.
