>>23638333
No, there's two Xabungles at the start. Jiron usually pilots the one whose wings are broken, the other is typically piloted by Elche or Rag, but typically the group swaps what they pilot irreverently. Then when Jiron gets the Walker Gallier he stops piloting the Xabungle but nothing else changes for the rest of the team's piloting preferences.
>>
>>23638436
>No

The Xabungle units and Gallier also require copilots (since they all combine from 2 vehicles apiece), in case you didn't have enough trouble keeping track of who's doing what

>>23638436
If I’m not mistaken I think the one without the wings is a replica of sorts? Might be completely wrong since I haven’t watched it yet either but I am planning on it

It's important to remember that a lot of this stuff was decided on by the suits and toy makers. Then once they all left the room Tomino goes all Tomino.
>>
>>23638559
Xabungles are mass produced models, there's not a single super duper custom unique mecha in the show outside of maybe Gallia if you want to stretch the definition a bit, they're all fucking grunts, even the fucking Iron Gear is a mass produced unit
>>
>>23640363
As far as we know, they aren't. We only see two models for the entire show, it and the Gallier are practically one offs. We see more Iron Gear types than we do Xabungles, and those have the excuse of being battleships to explain why we don't see them often.
>>
>>23640263
You do realize the toy companies and networks can be plenty generous to mecha shows so long as they're still marketing the toys, right? Xabungle was based on marketing a two-piece toy that could change from toy RV to toy robot, and they turned that into Looney Tunes meets Mad Max with robots. Macross was about toy planes that became toy robots, and they turned that into a space opera that dominated ratings, sales, and the MUSIC charts.
>>
>>23640497
Honestly, the only time I can think of that a toy company didn't like how the robots were advertised was back in Victory Gundam, forcing a sequence in episode 1 to introduce the titular Victory since originally, it wouldn't show up until ep 4-5.
>>
>>23640497
Yes that's all well and good and while it's true they'll let you keep doing what you're doing if the numbers are rolling that's all after they see the results, you think if they heard about some of this stuff ahead of time they weren't gonna get a little veto in.
>>
>>23640516
That wasn't the toy company, that was Sunrise's own people panicking and wanting the mech in as soon as possible. There a bunch of stuff about the show that sounds like bad decisions were made in anticipation rather than actual forced decision, and for the most part it was just a sincere attempt to boost sales and ratings (the Shrike Team, battle bikes, the Adrastea/Lysithea battleships) because at the end of the day Sunrise is a money- and ratings-hungry company regardless of its artistic aspirations.

>We only see two models for the entire show
That doesn't mean much, the Government is the same, we see like three of those in the entire show and it used to be Timp's signature walker machine at first until it didn't, the only walker machine that's fully unique is Gallia and even there it's implied (if not explicitly stated iirc, can't remember) to be just the first kind of a brand new model.
We know Carrying bought two Xabungles from the Innocent but as far as we know there can be other Xabungles out there, just like at some point we see multiple Iron Gears.
>>
Where the hell is fatman, why the hell do they always insist on using these vomit inducing modern idol music, I'd have a lot more respect if they just did a cover of one of MIQ's songs for this series (like Hey You). 3D animation is fine enough but its funny the sort of obnoxious camera work they have to use to make it serviceable. At the very least its nice to see that Xabungle isn't forgotten.

Xabungle did this, Dunbine did this with Shou swapping it for the Bilbine...at least Daba in L-Gaim swaps his L-Gaim for the Mk.II L-Gaim.

Honestly I wonder why creators of such shows did this?
>>
>>23648198
And then they did the opposite in Zeta Gundam afterwards where Kamille receives it near the second half after previously using the Gundam MK2
>>
>>23648198
Unless there's an interview somewhere that says Clover or whichever toy company wanted them to sell a new toy at the expense of the old one, I don't think we'll ever find out.
>>
>>23648198
>>23648272
That was actually the case for Dunbine. Billbine was created very different from the previous Dunbine mecha due to their low sales (Clover, the initial sponsor, even goes bankrupt, although Bandai takes over at that point). It's on the Japanese wiki page.

Regarding Xabungle, apparently it's because the Xabungle design was made for the original plot which would be about a Gundam-like space war, before Tomino got involved with the production, while the Walker Gallia was designed with the final Western inspired setting in mind. So, they stuck with using the Xabungle design, but then it'd eventually get pushed aside for the Walker Gallia.

L-Gaim on the other just seemed to take the upgrade route as the "standard" already by then, and it was planned from the start even in Nagano's sketches.
>>

>Billbine was created very different from the previous Dunbine mecha

>>23648464
>Why would Xabungle being initially intended for a spacefaring series instead of an earthbound one have anything to do with replacing it as the lead mecha?

It was more the design shift. At that time midseason upgrades were the new hotness of mecha shows and so any 50 episode series was going to see the MC getting a new better unit at some point. The Xabungles were designed for a "serious" series which is why they and the Iron Gear look like traditional "hero" robots, but the Walker Gallia was designed to be the midseason upgrade of the goofy western series Xabungle ended up being which is why it ends up being a "fatman" to better fit the MC.

Because one is a design that the staff inherited due to the pre-production stage (the Xabungle itself) but didn't really fit what Tomino and the rest of the staff saw as the style of the final show, the other that eventually took the lead (Walker Gallia) is the design they actually created with the show that was made in mind.

I'm still pretty sure that was specifically an F-Troop drop on that gear and not the general uniform

It wasn't bad, just not what was advertised.
