ITT mechs that are terrible design wise
>>23951126guess you used the wrong image
Atlas Gundam is the ugliest Gundam in the entire franchise. Spindly limbs and an awful color scheme. Fat shoulders and hips with scrawny arms and legs. Dumb ski attachments.
>>23951144Being the ultimate evolution of the Ball, it is Maru as fuck.
>>23951144>Atlas Gundam is the ugliest Gundam in the entire franchise.
>>23951155>posts peak
Another gquacks abomination: Thunder thighs zaku
All the Code Geass mecha.
the mecha board would not know a good design if it hit it in the face, who knew
>>23951158Anybody who uses the term "peak" immediately outs themselves as a reddit tourist.
>>23951163It's weird. In pictures like that they look fucking hideous, but Aheads in the show look pretty good.
>>23951172Anybody who uses reddit as an ad-hominem is a permanently stuck in the 2010s manchild.
>>23951144Of all the things to complain about the Atlas, the color scheme is the only good thing about it. Everything else about is godawful.
>>23951144I don't mind the body design but it should not be Gundam
>>23951158Yeah, peak trash.
>>23951126>9/10 design>weakpoint is in the front center point of the frameFire the bastard who designed this
>>23951144what do the binder things do>>23951215>the color scheme is the only good thing about it.Sandrock'd out
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.
>>23951291Speaking of which, every single IBO mech that decides to have the midsection stripped down to two twigs and a bendy straw because you really want to feel the mech trying to snap in half with every step.
>>23951126
>>23951144>Atlas Gundam is the ugliest Gundam in the entire franchise.finally someone said it
>>23951163Looks like a ben 10 villain
>>23951155>GQ designers knew how to actually draw Grandpa>Chose not toMost baffling fucking decision of the show
>>23951126None more egregious than these things.
>>23952729.thread
>>23951916tbf to ibo, gundam frames are stupid strong even by most gundam series standards
>>23952742>stupid strongTheyre just stupid
>>23951291That would be Junya Ishigaki.
>>23951372>enshittify
>>23952731>/thread*FTFY
>>23951291I 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>>23952766Your 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.
>>23952766>There are tons of suits with open chest ventshow many of them are beamproof?
>>23952847Which gay anime is this from?
>>23951155>>23951160this shit will always make me laugh its just so comically fuck ugly and the justifications people present for it are doubly as funny
>>23952750I thought Kunio Okawara designed that
>>23951205>Google/duck any shitty series (like gcucks and franxx) to see prevailing opinion.>Search engines shows links from Reddit >Users consistently use the term *peak* >Check link from sites like mahq/mecha-talk and mal>Normal discussion (barring tranny sprek)You have no idea what you're talking about.
>>23951205relax qux tranny you can go back any time you want
>>23951155The craziest thing about this dogshit gramps is that the GQuuuuuuX itself is the best looking Gundam in at least a decade imoAnd it comes from the same show as this abomination
Hot take: Gyuuuuux is marginally better than the OG 0079
>>23953181It looks pretty good in Char colors.
>>23953181the qux is pretty awful. Freds a little better I kinda dig it. granted it looks like a dog chewed on an an eva figure
>>23953181the only good design from gquuuuuux is the gyan
>>23953334the dom / gm was almost okay but its like the designers didnt know when to quit and just ruined itcould be good for kit bashing
>>23952742That doesn't help matters, just creates two retarded designs instead of 1a) 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 wellb) 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
>>23953334I liked the light guncannon (and gyan)
>>23951144Doesn't it look funny because it's supposed to be mainly amphibious use?
>>23953560Feeling cute is a core element of war machine design.
>>23953561i 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
>>23953334>Starting strength victim gyan
Reminder that this shit was shat on back then. Only the cultists here praises its design. Same thing will happen with gyuux
>>23951160I feel like they’re trying to evoke WW1 uniforms with the flared thighs.
>>23953437I love how they made the Dom's bazooka stupidly large.
>>23953699They're called jodhpurs and they predate the First World War.
>>23953670I 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.
>this cool as fuck robot in the robot board? YEAH IT FUCKING SUCKS AND NOBODY LIKES IT AND YOU ARE A SHILL AND NOBODY EVER LIKED IT
>>23953795Who are you quoting?
>>23953789>Yeah I remember how many people back in the early 2000s didn't like it, but a healthy share had respect for itSame thing is happening with gyuux
>>23952754Enshittification is real and you going lalalala i'm not listening isn't going to make it go away
>>23953858the concept is fine, but the term itself is a fucking horrible buzzword
>>23953858You making wojaks in a Nigerian throat singing forum will do even less.
>>23951155Virgin VS chad.
>>23951155I fucking love the GQX RX-78 so much it's unreal. It's so unmistakably mechanical in design, the exact opposite of toyetic.
>>23954126genuinely what the fuck was the artist doingI 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>>23954126That black and yellow stripes made it uglier
>>23954126>>23954165blame starwars and 40k for brain rotting normies into thinking shitty junky garbage designs = realism.
>>23954206it makes it uglier and its not even a feature a real military technology demonstrator would havefailure in both regards
>>23954227hooves????
>>23951194It's the posing issue.
>>23954165>genuinely what the fuck was the artist doingits clear they copied human anatomy for "realism" giving it this awkward guy in a costume style proportions
>>23951163Honestly not that bad
>what if a zaku clone,but we put a big stupid thing on its head
>>23954165In 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.
>>23954404They even give it red eyes out of nowhere.
>>23954165>>23954213>>23954223>>23954257Retard alert.
>>23954410Red eyes mean Megatron possessed it. Uh oh.
>>23954410top kek how can anyone take this shit and the studio behind it serious
>>23954460Havent seen Gquacks but Khara and by extension Anno are some of the most astroturfed hacks in the industry.You cant convince me anno doesnt have banker friends to pull strings and promote his abd his studios shit as good when its not even the best shit out there.
>>23954490Japanese nepotism is as bad as jewish or indian nepotism.
>>23954460remember when the other one opened its mouth which it has for some reason and uhh screamed and then became magical? unintentionally hysterical >>23954490losers project what they want to see onto his, and by extension khara's works because they've fallen for the mythology of this tortured artist producing esoteric masterpieces who's just as retarded and depressed as they arein reality its all just slop with random references to whatever he thought was cool in the moment
>>23951126UFO Dialpolon is genuinly the ugliest mecha of all time>>23951155everything from GQX is a close second
>>23954717This looks cool and campy fun
>>23954717UFO Grendizer vs UFO Diapolon. Uchuu Dess Battle!!!
>>23951163S2 designs suffer more from shity lineart than bad design
>>23953789>Syd MeidAny relation to Syd Mead?
>>23955053Third sibling next to Syd Maid.
>>23954410oh I get the reference
Srungle in Tank/Trekker Mode
>>23954717You've never seen GoWapper 5 or Balatack or Blocker Corps, haven't you
>>23955549>Mecha wolverine
>>23955549The other mecha in the magnet trilogy (and I don't mean Jeeg) im on the fence about.
>>23955633This looks cool though. Jesus you guys suck
>>23955596Who's askin' bub?
>>23951155not even the ugliest gundam in its own show
>>23954411Why'd you announce your presence?
>>23954411why do you care what other people think? why do grown men not liking a children's show get you so angry?if I was you id kill myself man you sound pathetic
>>23956539>if I was youSaar
>>23956547>if I was youid kill myself thats correct.ps: if you want people to believe youre a native speaker stop being shocked by common informal or colloquial english
>>23956609No one is fooled sukdeep
>>23956626pathetic attempt at misdirection instead of just admitting youre autistically obsessed with if other grown men like the same childrens tv as you lmao again speaking too formally gives you away as a non native speaker
>>23956510This one actually looks pretty good.
>>23951205you'll never be a woman
>>23955633wily stole this guy's claw for 7
>>23957175man im gonna miss these quxfags when they join the 46% always funny to see them coping
>>23956629Wipe your tears first then say it again, prajesh
this nigga watches pokèslop trannimeand he brags about it
>>23951144fuck... this one is my favorite aside from the 0083 ones and alex...
>>23957288its horrible... but I agree ive always liked it
>>23951126i think you're wrong about this one
>>23954227the schwartzette is honestly a good design, but one that fits better in the IBO universe.
>>23954227this ones pretty good and fits with the design aesthetic of that company
>>23954070>horribleYou misspelled retarded.
>>23954126The one on the left has so many places where if you shot some sort of sci-fi glue cannon you'd paralyze it and then you could just send the fodder to capture it...
>>23959119They have the same amount of joints.
>>23959125The joints on the one on the right are protected by bulkyness.
>>23959130I suppose so, but you would still be able to glue them shut.
>>23952416there's something about this RX-78 that makes it look unsettling.
>>23959131or you could just shoot the one on the left with some poorly-made lead shot and it'd probably break down.
>>23951126People in here will defend this shit while shitting on gquux mobile suits
>>23956490Flippers? Are you kidding me? A thruster unit with propellers or hydrojets would've been more efficient.
>>23961402At least it's original.
>>23961402i like this funny lookin' guy :)
>>23967078it does have hydrojets, the flippers are just there as some kind of retarded larping like when people think AMBAC is viable
>>23961402 This is pretty much the GQX Guntank, though.
You really have to hand it to Shirow - he somehow managed to design a tank even worse than the A38.
>>23961402Should've called that the G-Bull.
Can we all agree that Guntank always sucked? It does nothing that a regular tank can't so it doesn't need to have the humanoid torso. That thing's not gonna carry a sword or a shield and it feels like Amuro only piloted it that one time to sell toys of it. kek
>>23978038>Amuro only piloted it that one time to sell toys of itNo, it was necessary to show Amuro's increasing skill as a pilot even with regular mobile suits. He was also taking notes on Zakus and coming up with strats.
>>23959132The shoulders are too narrow, the torso isn’t wide enough and there’s not the usual slight v taper, and the angle doesn’t give it the normal low angle big thing view that the grandpa normally has. So it’s just a bit less manly and imposing and powerful looking. >>23954126See here it’s got heroic proportions.
>>23951916>Speaking of which, every single IBO mech that decides to have the midsection stripped down to two twigs and a bendy straw because you really want to feel the mech trying to snap in half with every step.>>the small waist unrealistic memeit has as much structural support as 90% of MS just without armor on it
>>23979425Ok, and WHY would you intentionally not armour centre of mass on every mech?
>>23951205I don't reddit but at least shit wasn't awful in the 2010'sGundam has felt awful to watch and follow for at least 10 fucking years now
>>23979425>A civilian construction vehicle is an acceptable exampleAre you fucking kidding me, emergency combat construction shit is as armored or more armored than the combat vehicles
>>23973824That's fine and all, but that's the tank that ended up in Metal Slug.
>>23979525You probably shed over 5% of its weight and no one's gonna hit that small of an opening.
Never got the hype for this ugly piece of shit
>>23979958Have you tried having a sense of taste?
>>23951160MS-06BBL.
>>23951372I like the Light Cannon.
>>23951155I don't like the face, but the rest of it is pretty cool. It actually looks like an unfinished prototype painted up in demo colors. Like, you can see how the red and yellow bits are meant to highlight the moving parts of its frame so observers can better record and highlight how well it functions on a test track and what might need to be adjusted.
>>23979958I would remove the spikes/horn and it's peak design.
>>23980179It's just a fucking EVA unit, that's why it's so spindly and has that face
>>23954717This looks cool in a silly way.
>>23980249Evas don't look like that.
>>23979773>You probably shed over 5% of its weightBullshit>and no one's gonna hit that small of an openingExtreme bullshit. And need I remind you its not just that mech, Almost every mech in IBO is the same.
>>23980249Evas look like that.
Come at me.
>>23980835I-It looks cool.
>>23951155Seeing nips slapping regular Gundam heads on the HG convinced me that this is actually a neat design, just with a seriously hideous face.
ugh
>>23981219It does maker zero engineering sense, but simple it's a Miroki design for intimidation. Apparently. . . I learned he likes to do that from the Neo Granzon interview.
>>23951144The Thunderbolt Gundam that appears at the very end of the manga is worse.
>>23981219Literally one of my favorite Gundams right now but this particular drawing of the movie version is so shitty compared to how cool it looks in the second film or as a toy/model.
>>23981877and the Penelope looked better in the SD G Gens game for PS2. It also steamrolled.
Code Geass mechs in general. They wouldn't be so bad if they weren't only 4.5 meters tall on average and wearing goofy roller blades. My favorite one is the gold one (bottom left).
>>23955549You're just jealous that your favorite mech doesn't have a (canonical) car.
>>23981976Aside from the three in the top-left corner this is a who's who of all the worst designs from the series
>>23982015I also liked the humble Gloucester before all the mechs started flying, however because they're so small they all have their cockpits on the back and look like the Hunchback of Notre Dame.
>>23981838This is why 01 Jimdam is the best Gundam design in the show.
>>23981988Think how big that dam thing would be. Scorpinok size?
>>23982141Damn thats barely coherent image. Do millenoids really?
>>23981838it's halo effect but in mecha design >>23982015the art style/linework/shading are the problem
>>23979773flak cannons and shrapnel and even high temperature saturation weapons join the chat
>>23984882>flak cannonsYou're not hitting a mech with a stationary canon. The whole point of mechs is that they're agile tanks that can zigzag and shit.
>>23984882>flak cannonsIsn't that redundant? And grammatically incorrect?
>>23951160I would love this if it weren't for the fucking penis vent. What the fuck were they thinking.
>>23987801Its actually a vagoo vent
>>23989259Prolapsed by default?
>>23982141>Think how big that dam thing would be.The size of a hydroelectric power plant?
>>23980835IBO's are also much tankier thanks to their special armor coating and the fact that they mostly have solid weapons that take a bunch of hits to kill and even then they're rarely totally destroyed. It's not like most other Gundam universes with a beam weapon that will make the whole suit go up in smoke with a glancing hit.
>>23953567It's a Ball wearing limbs and a head, yes it's meant to look funny. Jesus this thread is a month old? Did we slow down?
>>23997083No matter how much bandai wants to pretend magic paint is "armor" it will never not be stupid to have an exposed midsection, never mind that said midsection is unpainted so even in universe it's dumb.
>>23997087>It's a Ball wearing limbs and a headYeah Im not seeing it
>>23954232>hooves>horns>halo>face kinda looks like a skullthis gundam is a demon
>>23997083Special armour coating means nothing on unarmoured areas. If the armour is so redundant a bare frame is exactly as combat ready as armoured then it's retarded design to slap on utterly useless armour, if it's not useless armour then it's retarded to leave a vital central area completely bare frame.
