>In the staff and cast interviews in the "Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX Special Feature" in the November 2025 issue of Monthly Gundam Ace, it is stated that Scirocco was the designer of the Hambrabi in this work. It is said that Scirocco designed it while on a Jupiter fleet heading to Jupiter, sent it to the Earth Federation Forces, and assembled it at the Augusta Research Institute according to the blueprints. However, the intention behind designing this third-generation mobile suit remains unknown.We will have to wait for the HG model kit in June for more information.The Chalia Rick Dom manual reveals that Rick Doms were prioritised to ace pilots(so Tokuwan included). The other green coloured ones copied and pasted across the background in episode 8 during the Luna II siege may have been a dud along with the number of Gelgoogs. Zeon Gelgoog gunpla comes out in June possibly with some new info as well. 01 Gundam and Sayla's Light Cannon did have fluff in their pbandai releases. Only new thing was that the 01 Gundam piloted was considered as skilled. (Not just skilled for the occasion but across the board, so better than Denim I guess)
>>23790960I'm forever frustrated that we never manage to see GQ Hygogg and Doven Wolf.
The shock harkens on the Rick Dom are exclusive to Gaia and Ortega as they are described as a plamo original feature for the Chalia's gunpla due to leftover parts. Similarly, the stigma hooks are exclusive to Sugai's Gelgoog.
>>23790960In the 1979 anime, more Rick Doms were killed onscreen than the number of Zakus killed. The GQ Rick Dom gives it more of an ace status.I am not sure if most Rick Doms in regular UC 0079 were only assigned to veterans and above so that after many of them were killed(Amuro and Solomon), only cadets were left to pilot the Gelgoogs.
>>23790979It is kinda the same with Xavier's Gyan. He feels so powerful in Gqux, unlike the sloppy jobber it was in the 79 show.
>>23790982Still waiting for the purple pbandai Gyan to reveal whether it was a One Year War or post war design.There is still no Great Mechanics book for GQX, and the previous Seed Freedom one had no new info at all.
>>23790991I believe Gyan itself is a OYW design while Hakuji lance is a 0085 upgrade.
>>23790960>extended GQ lore
>>23790991Shiiko Sugai must have been an ace pilot and Federation only had the Light Cannon as their mainline machine. This is even more simplified than 1979 0079 where Federation had GM and Balls and the White Base trio.Speaking of pbandai manuals, Seed Freedom, Gundam Eight, Requiem for Vengance, GQX all have some fluff.Hildofr reference in the LeSaun Zaku, so Requiem for Vengenace definitely follows the style of MS Igloo.
>>23790996Should have brought Zudah back baka.
>>23790991We could interpret that the Luna Titanium alloy used on the Light Cannon is an offshoot variant alloy that is cheaper than the Luna Titanium used on the prototypes.In episode 4, it was described that CRS' Light Cannons use a low pressure beam cannon, so they can't fire a blast as powerful as the prototype Guncannon.
>>23790982>unlike the sloppy jobber it was in the 79 show.You mean the mobile suit that allowed even a scrub like M'Quve give Amuro a hard workout?

>>23791001the door is wide open for Zudah at some point from Lalah's montage, no reason to rush things
>>23791004>Acked in 40 seconds>Hard workoutThis trash is supposed to be an ace.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFHlspys5_E
>>23791015>Acked in 40 secondsConsider how lethal beam weapons are.>This trash is supposed to be an ace.No, it's supposed to be an ornamental unit for a commander that was never supposed to be on the battlefield himself.
Amuro was planned to appear as a civilian in Side 7 who managed to flee to safety along with the other refugees. Char was only meant to appear in a 5 minute flashback.
>>23791020>it's supposed to be an ornamental unit for a commander that was never supposed to be on the battlefield himself.No, Gyan was built for practical combat and mass production but ultimately Gelgoog performed better and chosen to be mass produced instead. Now imagine this exact jobber Gyan but with worse stats.
>>23791011>LT BURNING>Tan and orange MS>SLEGGAR>Alexsounds fun as fuck
>>23791034>Gyan was built for practical combat and mass productionYes, but specifically M'Quve is a shit pilot that wouldn't be able to perform well regardless of the unit. It's crazy how long he lasted and the credit for that goes to his Gyan's shoefitter.>but ultimately Gelgoog performed better and chosen to be mass produced instead.By "ultimately Gelgoog performed better" you mean that Zeonic, Zimmad and MIP all came together to make sure that it is the best it could be. Gyan being in the competition was just a formality.>Now imagine this exact jobber Gyan but with worse stats.That wouldn't happen, considering that all the known further developments are upgrades: be it Eos (made in collaboration with Zeonic), that one early short mass-production run from a board game that gave it a beam rifle or a potential UMP upgrade Krieger, which was an existing spec in the main UC and had some parts made.
"Siegaxe"Mouth breather feels so fitting here yet simply not insulting enough.
>>23791066Holy newfags.
>>23791067Yeah only newfags are somehow still repeating the AI "translation". Genuinely embarrassing to be on the same site.
>>23791069You don't need to double down on your newfaggotry anon.
>>23791061Eos are the ace units, not mass production version.
>>23791079I wouldn't call Kycillia's guard exactly ace, but I can see it becoming a standard modification.It's not like Zeon does "mass-production means cheaper" thing.
>>23791095>It's not like Zeon does "mass-production means cheaper" thing.And that right there, to me, is why they started selling off Zakus after the One Year War ended in GQuuuuuuX as the pyrrhic victory it's seen as: war's over, Zeon now has new mobile suits, and the newly-independent nation-states in the Lagrangian points will want their own mobile suits, so good time to sell off older equipment to alleviate the financial consequences of the war they started while mass-producing the newer mobile suits without making them inferior to the prototype.
