You've been given 6 gorillion dollars by the federation R&D department to upgrade the flail from an upscaled iron age weapon into something futuristic and belongs on a gundam. What do (You) do?
paint it red
Make into actual warhammer.
psychoframe hammer that reverses time to before the enemy ms was built
TWO hammers
Make the handle slightly longer.
turn it into a funnel but with a built in i-field generator, now it's a deadly unstoppable fast moving death ball controlled by the pilot's brainwaves.
>>23573987Good, but this can only be the weapon of a villain of the week, because surely the only way this can end is by the pilot being distracted at a crucial moment and inadvertently crashing his own death ball into his MS
nothing to fix, i'll put that six gorillion dollars into a harem of cyber newtype babes
>>23573955a warhammer you say?maybe weighting 40 000 kg?
didnt gquack peaked it? i think it had trhusters so it could be controlled better
>>23573939Instead of spikes put beam cannons that way you can shoot things while you hammer them.
>>23574006The original also did
>>23573939Why does it to be fixed? Why does it need to be futuristic? If anything, makes it even more realiable by being a physical weapon that doesnt relay on a power source. Easier to produce and maintain than other weapons second only to the shield because thats always needed.Secondly, the first Gundam specially, was always silly as hell. If you want to fix anything. Fix the G-Armor more than anything.
>>23574054It's already been improved in versions by turning it into a mobile weapon/base jabber that just deploys the mech, and doesn't have all the alternate form stuff.
>>23573939There is literally nothing wrong with the G-Hammer
Gundam Hammer is fine and sort of fills a niche of being the only mid-range weapon that works without juice since you can just swing it around if the thrusters run out of propellant. Thats why it comes back for Turn A since its more practical than people give it credit for.
>>23574054>>23574070Fixed already in 1981
>>23573939HAMMER BITTO! IKEE!
>>23573939I think it's already an interesting weapon for space combat (even the non thruster version) because if you hold the chain near the ball, accelerate towards a target then release the chain it'll continue on that trajectory at that speed for bit even after you change directions or decelerate.So what I think what I'd change about it is replacing the chain with an adjustable length cable so this maneuver could be done with one hand.
>>23573939paint it white and have the spikes be beams
Here's chatgpt's idea **1. Magneto-Link Chain:** Smart links that can stiffen or slacken via magnetic fields for instant control — acts as whip, chain, or rigid pole on command.**2. Variable-Mass Head:** Movable internal weights or dense fluid shift impact power and swing speed dynamically.**3. Rocket/Thruster Assist:** Small boosters on the head add reach or velocity mid-swing; doubles as a ranged strike.**4. Plasma-Edge Spikes:** Spikes emit a short plasma sheath for cutting power on top of blunt damage.**5. Gyro-Stabilized Head:** Built-in gyros and microthrusters keep the head steady, allowing aimed hits even during complex maneuvers.**6. Smart Guidance:** Mini lidar and reaction jets in the head correct trajectory in the final meters, turning wild swings into guided blows.**7. EMP Discharge Option:** Capacitors release an electromagnetic pulse on impact to disable electronics or sensors.**8. Beam-Tolerant Materials:** Chain built from heat-resistant nano-lattice alloys with reflective coatings to survive beam glances.**9. Energy-Recycling Reel:** Uses magnetic braking to capture swing energy and recharge the suit’s capacitor on retraction.**10. Modular Heads:** Swap between spiked, blunt, or penetrator types; some detach to act as explosive or recon drones.**11. Adaptive Length Reel:** Chain auto-adjusts length for space vs. ground combat and retracts for storage.**12. Integrated HUD Targeting:** Predictive arc display shows optimal timing and angle, making the weapon viable even in close quarters.**13. Sonic/Vibration Option:** Head can emit resonant pulses to crack armor or disorient nearby suits.**14. Aesthetic Upgrade:** Plasma trails, glowing segments, and sound-reactive hum give it a menacing, high-tech presence.
>>23573939Motherfucker it was already upgraded it to a futuristic weapon IN THE ORIGINAL SHOW. Ever heard of the Hyper Hammer??? It also appeared in Turn-A and G-Quacks
>>23573939Proton Hammer.
>>23573939Psycommu-equipped funnel hammer with built-in beam emitters
>>23574054>Fix the G-Armor more than anything.The Federation had technology which allowed the Core Fighter to magically grow to like 5x normal size, in total defiance of the laws of physics, and then never used it againMad, that
>>23573955Hey dummy, he already has a polearm
>>23573939The easiest way would be to install beam spike emitters in the bare spots to increase spike density and overall lethality. Run a cable through the chain so that activation of the beam spikes is done through the handle (you can swing the hammer and turn on the beam spikes mid-flight, and de-activate them upon retrieval so you aren't slicing the Gundam's hands apart with beams). Retaining the original spikes allows it to be used as a weapon even if it's out of power.
>>23574054The chain should be retractable to be used as a mace like a bloodborne trick weapon
>>23573939Hammer is actually a blob of 100 INCOM hammers. Even better if you can make the connecting wires whatever the fuck Allenby's beam ribbon is
>>23573939Make it a wire guided INCOM
>>23574054Give G-Bull the Core Booster treatment and turn it into the Type 79 tank.
+5% damage against undeads at night+2.5 frost damage resistance+1 luck on mondays+2 drowsiness mitigation
>>23573939Add a cockpit.
>>23573939make it a spherical beam ball
>>23573939Add psycommu and then add eleven more. Then integrate two beam sabers.
>>23574054The G-Armor is a 120 ton plane that can do mach 3.5 and deploy the Gundam from inside it. It doesn't need any improvement.
no, fix this thing
>>23577186Give it the 0080/Hy-Gogg treatment.
>>23577172It could be more aerodynamic. Alternatively it could be given some compatibility with the Guncannon.
>>23577229make its shoulders wider?
Clearly I put a cockpit in the hammer itself so it can be accurately piloted directly into the enrmy.
>>23577261And stylize certain features.
Dual weild hammers
>>23573939add a staff to make it closer to a war flail>>23574042the original didn't, the upgrade (hyper hammer) did
Bolt Gundam already improved it and gave it convenient storage on the gundam as well.
>>23574238I approve.
