>lackluster specs even for its time>shitty titanium alloy armor instead of luna titanium>immediately replaced by the Z gundam and powercrept by titan's mobile armorsAnd still somehow made it all the way through Z and up to the end of ZZ punching way above it's weightAlso has a fucking cool design
The MK-II may be Clark Kent, but add G-Defensor and you have....SUUUPER GUNDAM!
now post the actually good MKII
>>23710080I prefer her younger sister
I mean the lack of armor was a trade for superior mobility
>>23710080I kind of hate how much later material tries to take even more away from the MK2, I think at least one source suggests that the Alex was actually the first suit using mobile frame design principles.And then there's like four different suits claiming to be the true production MK2.I always took its enduring success as a sign that it was the first suit to reach the performance plateau where pilots are holding back the machines more than machines holding back the pilots. It's a little like how 4th gen fighters seem to be eternal. An F-15EX from 2021 is undeniably a more capable and modern machine than an F-15C fresh off the line in 1978, but if you get two into dogfight range it's going to come down a lot more to the pilot than the machine.>>23710252>Signature machine of three best girls in a rowCan't top it.
>>23710252Emma :D
>>23710080OVERRATEDThis is now a Ground Gundam thread
>>23710368no
>>23710080>looks more generic compared to the Ez-8 and Alex and on par with the Ground Gundam>not as flashy as the original or any other protag Gundams>still somehow really fucking endearing
>>23710398yes
>>23710080>>23710124I've been rewatching Zeta lately, and it's really weird that in the earliest episode, they were foreshadowing something about the MK II only to completely forget about it. Clearly Tomino had more plans to the MK II's capabilities but somehow just discarded it.
>>23710400i find it a really natural progression to the original gundamit looks like something that was designed to be reminiscent of the original made years later in universe it's something that zeta does really well in general, it feels like a natural continuation of the original show
>>23710252>titans uniform>aeug gundam colors?
>>23710080Full Armor Mk ll is Sex
>>23710080literally the best of its era, matched only by Rick Dias, but go off I guess
>>23710515There's an entire show you can watch to figure this out...
