Do you guys like Byarlant? I heard this suit very good performance but was never mass produced or further development
Why was Jerid piloting a Baund Doc in episode 49
>>23574671The only bad design in Zeta.
>>23574671>was never mass produced or further developmentWrong on both counts
>Jerid in Byarlant>Kills Four and Apolly, sends Kamille in the Zeta packing multiple times>Jerid in Baund Doc>immediately btfo
>>23574676>Baund DocUgliest Zeta design
Outside of Mk II, I don't find any of the Zeta designs particularly appealing except for Rick Dias.
>>23574772LIES
>>23574676>>23574739They realized giving Jerid a cool boss shot like Byarlant was a mistake and quickly corrected it by giving him a much more appropriately terrible suit.
I fucking LOVE the Byalant.I was kinda annoyed when we got a variant in Unicorn and it had big huge forearm claws. The weird, spindly forearms are part of the Byalant's charm!And tiptoes... I'm getting a bit irked by the sweeping popularity of adding tiptoes to MSs.
Great head, color scheme and silhouette, silly crotch and butt areas, retarded wimpy ""arms"".
>>23574963I am happy discover there is indeed a video of it's dance in Unicorn with Free Bird playing.

>>23574963I liked the byarlant custom for being a Frankenstein of scrapped titans prototypes, slapping on baund doc legs and gabthley leg-arms just for maximum claws.
>>23574671>further developmentReally? It looks like it could've had an influence on the Xi Gundam though I'm juat spitballing here.
>>23574671>Warwick Davis if he's a robot
>>23574671This thing has Bayverse Starscream proportions, which is fitting since Jerid pilots it. Whoever thought giving him the Baund Doc was a good idea was high as fuck.
>>23574739Did I make up an Amuro V Jerid fight in the Dijeh ? I swear they fought
>>23575136Amuro is so cool...
>>23575136The coolest part was the Rick Dias head vulcan actually doing fucking something for once.
>>23574671I like that it's a weird, chimeric flying gorilla.
>>23574671It's such a strange design, but in a good way. It feels like there was more creativity allowed in gundam designs in the 80s. I mean, I cant see designs like the Baund Doc, Byalant, Qubeley or Hamrabi being allowed in a Gundam show in 2025
>>23574671HUGE ASS
>>23575536>This thing has Bayverse Starscream proportionsDespite coming out decades earlier. retard.
>>23575607In Dakar probably
>>23574676The Byarlant suffered severe damage during the escape from Zedan and Rosamia's Bound Doc was still laying around without a proper pilot. I believe in the Zeta novels Jerid showed enough Newtype potential that another unit was sent directly for his use since he could utilize its Psychommu system.
>>23575841Michael Bay sent his vision of a flying dorito back in time, obviously.>>23575639Seconding this notion. Probably doesn't help that the most recent show revolved around an alternate OYW outcome...
>>23575136No. the zeta movies can’t be Kino ..
>>23575918Not from the Zeta movie's. U.C Engage cutscene.
>>23575136>punches right through a shieldWhat?
>>23575639Modern gundam is full of weird fucking designs the moment you move an inch away from the Gundams, to claim otherwise is to be disingenious.
>>23575639>It feels like there was more creativity allowed in gundam designs in the 80s.Kek. You might be right. It's really hilarious when you think about it.When modern Gundam has such a massive budget and huge backing from Bandai, the best they can come up with is....an Rx-78 Gundam clone with more scribbly lines (pic related). They call it Unicorn but it's really just the old Gundam all over again. Same rifle and shield design just with more power. And when it transforms...it turns into a Gundam with sparkles. Reminds me of Sailor Moon. Even though I hate Hathaway's story, at least the mecha are UNIQUE and memorable looking.I have no idea what's wrong with modern Bandai mecha designers. They just copied Tomino and Okawara.
>>23576181The only difference is now we can see them become Shelf Guardian Deities in real time. Before that it was realizing years later that all the cheap Gunpla you saw at American comic shops was the stuff that didn't sell in Japan.
>>23574671I don't know what it is about it, but I've always loved the Byarlant, my personal favorite suit.
Zeorymer's bastard child....
>>23575607you're thinking of this fight? >>23575136
>>23575841Calm down sperg anon, I'm just connecting the characters by their dorito-shaped frames and similar moods.
>>23576764See >>23575931
>>23576251>When modern Gundam has such a massive budgetThis is exactly WHY they play things safer. High budget means shit that doesn't see returns can't be done.
>>23575136They had Gates Pilot a Byarlant?
>>23576251Sore demo, it has become my favorite Gundam design, 2nd is the Gundam Ground Type followed by the Gundam Alex.Although as I type this the idea occurs to me that maybe I just like the old Gundam design, but slightly different.
>>23576937You just like older and simpler Gundam designs.
>>23576921Then why make Hathaway with complicated designs?
>>23576251Unicorn looks so much better untransformed, if a bit lacking in colour or contrast
>>23575639Did you even watch GQuuux?
>>23577076How come everytime a suit dodges in GQX they look like Pic related?Does the Director love pole vaulting?
>>23577076>Gquackers think this is a visually appealing design
>>23577441I like him because he's a funny little guy.
>>23577076Even if Zeon were to attach a mobile suit to the Braw Bro, there's no way they would make the suit look like that.
>>23577504It looks like that because it transforms out using existing geometry somewhat similar to the original.
>>23577076I know the Zeong was derived from the Braw Bro but I still thought giving the Kikeroga its Zeong moment against Char's Red Gundam was pretty silly. Speaking of funky designs and Zeong clones, the Febral's a cool design. Could use a more interesting paint job but it's a cool suit.
>>23578028I like the plate armor-esque visors of the SRA suits. One of the better alternatives to the classic zeon monoeye.
>>23574975You know nathing
