>it took the feddies 42 years to make a Gelgoog-tier suit which stood the test of time and put up a decent fight against superior mechsBetter late than never, I guess.
>>23832985Bro your Jegan??m
>>23832985At least post the MEGASPEAR ver. You spacemongoloid
>>23832985nigga when these were introduced in the UC 120s they complained that they had the performance of mobile workersthere's a scene in victory where zanscare were clapping javelins so badly that they were toying with them and making them retreat so far back the javelins and clops were burning up in the atmosphere
>>23832985>GelgoogWhat?
>>23833400I still find it funny that the Javelin's best showing was by a mechanic who still gets killed after accomplishing nothing. The Federation only did well when they got some Gun-Ez's late in the show and they might have been an animation error.
>>23833400To be fair it was said that during the events of crossbone they actually performed quite well against Jupiter empire mobile suits. Also the javelin and jamesgun(which for whatever reason hadn’t been retired yet at that point) were supposed to have already been replaced by something called the javious. This image is just a fan made interpretation but it’s probably the best idea we’ve got of this thing.
>>23833605Jamesgun wasn't retired because it's part of the same series made right before Javelin. Jamesgun still has a role as a cheaper but still perfectly competent unit that can be adapted to any environment whereas Javelin is the (relatively) higher spec model.
>>23833629It also has a tactical shovel to fucking spearchuck at superior bespa technology with
>>23833590The EF forces are really poorly organized during the events of Victory. EF Gov trying to stay neutral while random EF forces retaliate against an aggressive zanscare force that is better organized and armed.
>>23833605Good merc suit for a sengoku period ttrpg gundam campaign
>>23833605Star Wars sequel trilogy has so many parallels to V Gundam. The Resistance paralleled League Militaire as the New Republic/Federation were too lazy.Javelin is like the T-70 X-wing while the Javeous is the T-85 X-wing which we rarely saw.>>23833590There were some non-Shrike Gun-EZ's every now and then, very few though. Couldn't tell if they were LM or Feddie.
>>23833639sorry, that was a different MS, she even tells you she's not a jamesgun
>>23833658There's that one Gunblasted squad in Javelin colours that's seen defending the Feddie flagship late in the series. Probably a Federation ace squad (such as it is) that was provided with better units.
>>23833672Just love the panoramic cockpit shots of UC, that is what makes UC UC.
>>23833590I'd say that is more of a lowlight. I think they have some pretty nice moments in Victory. In one scene, for example, a group of Javelins use their beam shields as a team to block Katejina from reaching Uso, much to her frustration.
>>23833590No there are some Javelins that score kills right before the ceasefire between the Feddies and Zanscare.
>>23833796Yeah, about that
>>23834312Part of me is doubtful with how crunched this is but I'll accept it. That's a pity.
>>23833605>>23832985>>23833672Why do these suits look less advanced and less powerful than suits we saw in CCA and even ZZ?
>>23834645Downsizing and efficiency. F91 designs had thrusters everywhere, Victory had lower animation budget.5th generation MS from UC0105 were the peak of 1st era MS. UC0110 introduced 2nd era 15m class MS.
>>23834645Money is running tight in the earth federation. So most mass production models are pretty simple and are able to police most normal situations. F90s, F91s, and other high spec MS are reserved for serious situations.Zansacre mobile suits were so well armed that EF was shipped Gun-EZs by the LM since their old suits were getting outclassed.Apparently the beam bazooka that the Gun-EZ uses is an actual type of VSRB beam weapon.ZZ was also rare period where one faction had a huge amount of resources while having very little manpower and was exploiting a bloody civil war ending.
>>23833672Tomino is amazing!
>>23834645Bandai wanted Victory Gundam to sell models and toys, so all the MS are brightly colored and simple to attract kids. Gundam F91 and 0083 did not sell the amount Bandai wanted, so the Victory MS were purposely made more kid friendly, with cheaper and more variety than F91 or 0083.
>>23835522How could Bandai come to that conclusion? That's not the reason F91 and 0083 didn't sell well. It was because of the writing. F91 was super rushed and tried to do too much in a single movie. 0083 went crazy in the 2nd half of the show with drama and love triangles. The Dendrobrium wasn't enough to compensate for the crazy Nina betrayal and her helping Gato drop a colony on earth.
>>23835820>and her helping Gato drop a colony on earth.You know this bait fell out of season right? Modern /m/ has for the most part actually watched the show again and found out that’s not true. You gotta move on to something else.
>>23835871>Bait?Iirc she just stood there and watched him in the control room and did nothing. She could have shot him much earlier and stopped this whole mess.
>>23835883It’s okay anon, if you want to just switch to a different meme that’s fine.
>>23835883On the incredibly off chance you’re actually functionally retarded and not trolling? Colony was already past the point of no return and projected to smack the rainforest before his minor adjustments for stardust. The most you could ever say she complicit with was the soldiers Gato killed on his way out of life, but you know, AFAB
>>23835820More like SD Gundam was eating "Real" Gundam's lunch for years. Why would kids bother with these boring grown up robots when they can build cute little samurai/knight/commando guys for cheap instead.
>>23835905I actually built an SD EX kit for the first time recently and it was kind of horrifying. I'm not a snob that'll refuse to touch anything less detailed than an MG or something, but it was genuinely shocking to me how little of the actual fun of building was left in that thing.Kind of makes me want to try an MGSD, see if that does it for me instead.
>>23835889Didn't she have a gun pointed at Gato? Just shoot him.
>>23835905I don't actually think SD Gundam was popular with the intended audience of kids ages 7 to 12 years old. Only very young children (like 5 years old and under) and old Gundam fans who gush over the references liked the show.
>>23835820>>23835905Yeah, during the late 80s and early 90s, SD Gundam was selling more than main Gundam.
>>2383598480s and 90s SD Gundam was different. They were parody shows that told funny jokes about UC Gundam shows.
>>23835974I’ll slow down for you. ColonyAlreadyDropping
>>23835522I guess that explains why the bespa suits are like that. Wouldve liked more feddy and lm variations
