Why is it such a cool mobile suit line?
>>23944559I dunno but it's face is a big plus.
>>23944559bell bottoms and that thing their mono-eye does when they start up
For me, it's the Dreissen
Because they skirt around like the cool crew do.
>>23944559The eye makes zero sense. That's why it's so good.Pure-land realism fags would never make something so boldly non-functional. The unreality sparks joy.
>>23945752>skirtI don''t think that word means what you think it means.
>>23944581>it is face
>>23944559If it was so cool, how come it didn't continue to be developed after the Dwadge?
Is the Rick Dias a part of the Dom family?
>>23946083Technically as it was developed from the MS-09SS Dowas Custom
>>23944559It's not cool
>>23946083Ugly inbred Cousin
>>23946079Did any OYW templates make it past ZZ?
>>23946584some kind of Zaku's still kicking around in Crossbone Gundam but like most things from that series there's no info about itand it's not very far ahead from ZZ but there's a Zaku IV in Moon Gundam
>>23946584Zaku -> Zaku II -> Hizack -> Geara Doga -> Geara ZuluGM -> GM II -> Nemo -> GM III -> Jegan -> Jesta
>>23946730>>23946584The entire RF line of modernized OYW designs exist in the UC 120s
>>23946756Geara Doga wasn't developed from the Hizack, the lore usually says it was developed from the Zaku III Late type.GM I, II, and III are a straight line and it kinda ends there with no direct successor. Nemo is an offshoot of the GM II. Jegan is not a direct development of any single MS, but it's a new design that received data from a bunch of MS like the GM III, Jeda, Nemo, and Gundam Mark II.
>>23946850this, plus since Rick Dias is part of the Dom family tree, that means so is the Dijeh, which means we can count Dijeh Traversia, the bellbottoms and skirt can be seens as Dom holdovers.
>>23946038Holy god are you ESL https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/skirt
>>23946763True, but they're less direct successors to the original models and more new machines designed to resemble the old, not sure how much those count.
>>23946083>>23946089In the broadest sense yes but its lineage is also tied to the GP02.>>23946756Nemo is what you get when you have ex-Zeon engineers make a GM. Jegan is a mystery meat suit that takes inspiration from everything the Federation, AEUG and even Titans were doing until that point.>>23946584Gelgoog
So is the true "final production variant" of the Dom series the Dowas or the Dwadge? Both are stated to be as such
sup bitches
>>23947789There's many ways to intepret it. Maybe the lore for the Dwadge and Dowas were written by two different people who were either unaware or didn't care about the other one and both claim to be the final model. Wouldn't be the first time there was conflicting lore.Maybe gundam wiki is poorly written as it doesn't cite any particular source or book or person who stated either that it's the final one,. Who knows if is it really what it says in the Japanese lorebooks, or is there some vague or specific Japanese wording that we can't see here (Japs love their wordplay and vague references in lore). Maybe one of them was speaking in the context of wartime production, or whatever the case may be.Or maybe you can interpret both statements to be true since with some bullshit semanticshttps://gundam.fandom.com/wiki/MS-09G_Dwadge>it is the final production model of the Dom seriesSince it says Dom, it might mean it's the last ground-use model if it doesn't include the Rick Dom (the space use model). This line might also reference the existence of the MS-10 Pezun Dwadge which succeeds the Rick Dom for space-use.https://gundam.fandom.com/wiki/MS-09S_Dowas>the Dowas was the final production variant of the ms-09 seriesMS-09 series would cover everything under MS-09 which includes both the Dom (MS-09) and Rick Dom (MS-09R), so the Dowas might be considered the final model of both space and ground use Doms and Rick Doms. It doesn't conflict with existence of the MS-10 when MS-10 development stopped when Pezun was captured, but MS-09 development continues with the Dowas at Axis after the war.Looking at it chronologically, the Dwadge can't be the absolute final model of all possible Doms since the Pezun Dwadge exists. And in the case of the Dowas, it really is the final last model since Axis kept working on the Dowas after the war to develop Dowas Custom.
>>23944559It's pleasantly bulky. All the other suits are twigs, and get even twiggier as timeline advances.
>>23944559Not much to say, they're heavily armored, have some bitching pauldrons depending on the model (YES Dreissen this means YOU and I LOVE YOU), a rather unique color scheme (like, seriously, other than a suit made for the Black Tri-Stars, purple isn't really that common), and have cool weapons, like bazookas, halberds, and the like.
>>23944559dreissen is literally the only cool dom thoughbeit
>>23944559cause it hovers.
>>23949235Gelgoog is pretty chunkyits thruster assembly is even similar to the Dom
>>23949235I dunno, the timeline gets pretty wide eventually.
