Every fucking single design GQ design. I fucking hate every single one of them, they're an eyesore, Even the bizarro crap that we barely know what the fuck about like the Gunboy-Wilbur is less of a freakshow than the shit to the point that Yamashita Ikuto is a plant sent by Blackrock to demoralize both the Gundam franchise and the mecha genre so they can gain a vector to take over it and enshittify it like they enshittify everything.

I think you niggers realised you guys vibe with almost every robot toy there is and are trying to split hairs to simulate having some critical standards. None of the designs posted in this thread are actually bad.

I mean, the actual weakness of the Crouda is just that the freaking inner frame isn't as armored as its actual armor... which is kind of normal unless you're an IBO suit. There are tons of suits with open chest vents, so it's not like central thruster of the Crouda is that odd.

It still takes a freaking beam shot to use that weak point, and most other suits would be heavily damaged by a beam hit anywhere while the Crouda just shrugs off as long as you aren't bypassing the armor somehow (the Frosts destroy one by breaking the head then firing a beam inside the hole they opened).

Pic related is a Jenice trying to use machine gun fire on a Crouda's chest to no effect.
>>
>>23951291
>>23952766
Your average grunt struggles to hit that small of an opening with consistency so it's not that bad of a weakness so it's great against large numbers strategies that the NUNE employs.

The craziest thing about this dogshit gramps is that the GQuuuuuuX itself is the best looking Gundam in at least a decade imo
And it comes from the same show as this abomination
>>
Hot take: Gyuuuuux is marginally better than the OG 0079
>>
>>23953181
It looks pretty good in Char colors.
>>
>>23953181
the qux is pretty awful. Freds a little better I kinda dig it. granted it looks like a dog chewed on an an eva figure
>>
>>23953181
the only good design from gquuuuuux is the gyan
>>
>>23953334
the dom / gm was almost okay but its like the designers didnt know when to quit and just ruined it
could be good for kit bashing
>>
>>23952742
That doesn't help matters, just creates two retarded designs instead of 1
a) the frame is completely indestructible, in which case they're retarded for not just going to battle with bare frames or making the armour plating out of the same shit as the frames and putting that over the midsection as well
b) the frame isn't completely indestructible and they're just making centre of mass the weakest point on the mech because crop tops make them feel cute
>>
>>23953334
I liked the light guncannon (and gyan)
>>
>>23951144
Doesn't it look funny because it's supposed to be mainly amphibious use?
>>
>>23953560
Feeling cute is a core element of war machine design.
>>
>>23953561
i like the light guncannon conceptually, especially as a way of giving sayla her own ace custom, but the parts i like about the design were inherited and not the parts native to gqux

I don't believe that's true. Syd Meid is a sci-fi artist legend. Yeah I remember how many people back in the early 2000s didn't like it, but a healthy share had respect for it.

I fucking love the GQX RX-78 so much it's unreal. It's so unmistakably mechanical in design, the exact opposite of toyetic.
>>
>>23954126
genuinely what the fuck was the artist doing
I understand they might not know why real military or industrial designs have the details they do and just pick references that look the part but this thing looks lame as fuck it looks so absolutely dogshit not to mention the goofy joint designs make it look like it would collapse under its own weight instantly
>>
>>23951155

That black and yellow stripes made it uglier

>>23954126
>>23954165
blame starwars and 40k for brain rotting normies into thinking shitty junky garbage designs = realism.
>>
>>23954206
it makes it uglier and its not even a feature a real military technology demonstrator would have
failure in both regards

>>
>what if a zaku clone,but we put a big stupid thing on its head
>>
>>23954165
In the flashback episode itself it pulls off a "wrong/disturbing" look, which is probably what they were going for, not realism. It does look lame in that neutral pose though.

in reality its all just slop with random references to whatever he thought was cool in the moment
