Was there a cancellation announcement? Or news of ANY kind? I've lost track of how long it's been since our last update
>>24010004Reboot usually drops around 8 posts per year so it is not that frequent to begin with. It will return at the end of the year since he promised the 2026 AOZ content.
>>24006938Man Hazel Cannon is so neat>>24010004Fujioka still posts on Twitter the same he always has, all we need to do is be patient.
>>24010004Fujioka still has regular hospital visits. If he's not up to it, nobody can force him
>>24011144I dread the day he finally gave up on life and the guy who will replace him as AOZ artist is Gyobu.
>>24011244That's just kind of a shitty thing to say about everyone involved to be honest
Close enough to be relevant here I think.The new Enhanced ZZ figure is looking really good.I like how the backpack halves have a degree of movement here, it's cool to imagine that as part of the upgrade set, turning it from basically just a massive brick and closer to S Gundam's and Zeta's format.Also it's similar to G-Defenser because of the missiles which is cool.
>>24013654Looks cool, though I have to wonder what the point is since I'm pretty sure those missiles have Macross-level turning abilities and can already pretty much go anywhere despite firing vertically (or e en backwards). Can the beam rifle point forward and fire while mounted on the backpack? And how does the pilot in the rifle's cockpit feel about this?
>>24013680>have to wonder what the point isidk, probably mostly to look cool plus firing from this angle could still be better even if they have some degree of targeting anyway. Besides the missiles are just one part, there's the big ol' thrusters in the back so the backpack now functions like binders.And keep in mind the beam rifle cockpit isn't meant to be used in regular operations, it's for independent Core Top deployment and maintenance. It's a bit strange and impractical in most situations but that's a prototype for ya, there's some explanations that the beam rifle was a reworked space fighter design or that the Core Top was meant to have a G-Bull like form as well.
>>24013680>Looks cool, though I have to wonder what the point is since I'm pretty sure those missiles have Macross-level turning abilitiesIt's less that it's required to make the missiles functional since they were already used at melee range back in the show, but now this flexible backpack mount brings it in line with how other advanced MS had movable backpacks like the Gundam Mark V and others.
>>24013992And the Mark V's backpack for comparison, it can swivel the entire backpack half to fire the beam sabergun under the arm or just have greater freedom of motion to point the backpack thrusters
>>24014063nta but thinking about it, uh... how does that swiveling work when there's an arm in the way...?
>>24014065the saber mounting is on a ball joint so if the Mark V lifts its arms, the beam saber can flip to the side and not collide with the arms, and the backpack half is also mounted on a little pivoting arm that allows it to lower just enough for the gimmick to work. Or I guess it could do a 270 degree rotation the other way so the arms don't need to make way for the beam sabers coming nearthat said, it wouldn't be the first or last MS to have trouble with its equipment colliding with parts of its body
>>24014065it just swings clockwise retardbro
>>24014087oh okay yeah that makes sense, forgot there was an intermediary arm between the blocks
>>24014087>the saber mounting is on a ball joint It is actually a hinge joint with swivel at the bottom.
Hazel head is very versatilehttps://x.com/haryholiver/status/2098301055335559622
>>24014698My bad, I actually don't own the kit and I just glanced at the reference pictures from Dalong
>>24014879Tell me more about Hazel head
A game: try to find and identify all the different TR parts on this Mk-V
>>24015690Can only identify the Hazel 2 pod on the dick, the weapon container on the back, the Nemo Cannon booster on the left and the TR-S arm on the right. Everything else seems to be Xeku equipment.
>>24015728I'm pretty sure that's El-Ahrairah's other arm on the left, not a Nemo Cannon shield booster. It has that blade and everything.What I'm not sure about are these things though, given everything else I kinda doubt they're original creations.
Discuss the 'Brabi. It's unfair that it got barely any love in Gquuux, I want more variants of this thing. Imagine giving this scythe to the TR machines? Looks a lot better than the Mujahideen rifle
>>24017165Ain't got much kind words bro, sorry. It's the only Cucks that I don't think looks abhorrent.
>>24017165It's from GQuX so it's automatically awesome obviously but even so it's really cool it ended up getting elevated enough to get a kit and more details.Anything would look cool with the scythe too, mainline or GQ. Once I get the kits I'm gonna make a Guncannon Light Type with it, spin it as a machine of a test team named after a certain semi-aquatic mamnal.
>>24017165This is an image indeed
>>24017165I'm not that big of a fan on Hambrabi but it has the coolest weapon in UC in my opinion. A sniper rifle and a beam saber combined into one? Sign me up!
>>24017191Platypus team?
>>24014879waow
>>24017196Isn't the rifle originally from the Gabthley?
>>24017337Hambrabi kinda owns Fedayeen in the public conciousness now since every later appearance of the rifle always comes with the Sea Serpent. It is even more egregious with how Gabthley doesn't exist in Gqux universe.
>>24017372The Jerid-taint was too strong for Gabthley to make it...
We all know what the TR plan was about, mass producing smaller and more economical modular MS that could take on new configurations to fit specific situations. Sadly it failed, and at that point in time UC tech started trending in the opposite direction, making bigger and fancier super robots instead. But what if the TR plan was restarted in late UC? What would a miniaturized MS version of the Woundwort look like? Would there be new tech configs like a Kehaar with Minovsky Flight or a VSBR Hazen'thley II? I think we could use the F90 project as a base and come up with a pretty interesting "Late TR plan".
>>24017467I wouldn't call TR units as small, they have standard height. The late UC era was simply a reflection of real world technology: A glock is stronger than a big and clunky bow, computers keep getting slimmer and faster, soldiers nolonger need to wear big bulky steel armor to get their job done. Meanwhile TR project was like a 19th century approach at technology, while almost none of the old stuff are relevant anymore, they shown humanity the potential for better ( and more lethal ) technology for the future. Yes the computer that sang Daisy Daisy never went anywhere and we just stick with regular computer for awhile and decades later we had text to speech and now AI generated speech.
>>24017534Woundwort is definitely smaller than most contemporary MS, unless you go by the borked HG proportions. And I'd argue most of the tech used in the TR machines was either modern or better compared to other MS of the time. They had INCOMs and even funnels when the feds wouldn't even really start to use INCOMs until the MkV post-war, they had MS-portable I-field generators, they had complex transformation systems. Now that I think about it, what's the justification for all the transformations pre-Gryps? Weren't transforming MS supposed ot be unusable until Kamille figured out movable frame?
>>24017467strictly speaking that's not the goal of TR Plan. The entire project (in the Titans, that is) was started with the goal of creating Inle above all else with everything that entails. It's TR-6 specifically that introduces the wide-range compatibility. The original plan with TR-S didn't have the Universal Replacement System.>>24017545None of those are unique to the TR Plan. Mk-V development began under the Titans and it wasn't the first INCOM-equipped machine either. Psycho Mk-II has unwired bits. Ex-S has a chest I-Field as does FA Hyaku Shiki Kai.Kamille also had zero involvement in the invention of transforming machines, Asshimar was made years earlier, Gaplant and Psycho Gundam were both deployed before Zeta too. Nevermind Messala too.What Kamille did was revise the Zeta in particular and make that a (very) successful design.
>>24017545>Woundwort is definitely smaller than most contemporary MS, unless you go by the borked HG proportions. Fujioka already retconned that initial scaling and said the HG scaling is correct. Woundwort is actually around Hazel Custom's height.
>>24017165Best GQ design hands downdon't know why but the face kind of reminds me of the barzam. maybe it's the angle?
>>24017714in all fairness even at this scale it is clearly and visibly smaller than Hazel so the descriptions are still accurate
>steals your TR-6
>>24017800It is the proportion, not really the size. Woundwort is actually quite big according to the HG while Hazel is a short king. TR5 is still the biggest one though.
>>24018044Hazel is from the stumpier days so annoyingly enough it's also not really a perfect comparison, but even so whole Woundy is taller pretty much every part besides the thighs and head is smaller and significantly so. Even the head is larger due to the headdress, the face itself is a little bit smaller
>>24018044Nope. Don't like it. TR-6 should be smaller than the TR-1. I feel it in me bones.
>>24018057They can still get (wo)manhandled by the bigger MS like Doven Wolf so it's all good
a Zeta Plus D flies circles around any TTT machine
>>24018102hmm nyo
>>24018106ooooooooooo Zeta Plus D vs that would on hell of an Ace Combat boss fight uhg there's so much potential of that era being squandered doing NOTHING
>>24018108The intake on the underside is a really nice touch, though I have to wonder where the fuck it goes when transforming.>Sentinel Ace combatHonestly most of Sentinel reads like an Ace combat campaign, even the Zodiac final boss is essentially jousting like the Morgan
>>24018133There are some Zeta Plus variants that I'm pretty sure don't transform into MS mode at all.
I dream of a world where every man, woman and child has their very own MG Zeta Plus Ver Ka.
>>24018143Okay, but which variant? Also, isn't the base design already Ver.Ka? I feel like a modern "ver ka" interpretation would ruin it with excessive paneling and psycoframe
>>24018157I mean, the WZC is already a Katoki design and it had a MG and a Ver Ka later.>variantC1, obviously. Then hit me with that Hummingbird.>>24018157>I feel like a modern "ver ka" interpretation would ruin it with excessive paneling and psycoframeNot really, the Ka Sig MRD looks super clean. An eventual Ver Ka would not look much different.
>>24018175That subtle off grey camo on the wrists... those beautiful blue shoes... The gentle curve of the legs... uooohhhhA shame about the molding defects on the binders
>>24018183I pray to Amuro a Zeta Plus appears in HF3 and redeems it's name after Unicorn.
>>24018190I feel like that ship has sailed, they're too old now especially when compared to the Xi which beats them at their own game. Maybe if they have Penelope escorted by a squad of Zeta Pluses to hunt down Hathaway and they actually pull their weight. Then again, that's literally Sentinel. Also, we see a ReGZ custom being prepared in the second movie, so if any Zeta sibling shows up it's gonna be that one. Which is funny sicne that is also made obsolete by the ReZel
>>24018200>*Spanish guitar intensifies*
>>24018201the inclusion of the ReGz Custom is so fucking stupid
>>24018208It might in some roundabout way give Hathaway another PTSD episode, enough to get an edge on him. I imagine if you replaced all the guts and turned it into some sort of "RF" variant (does that make it the Refined Refined Gundam Zeta Custom?) while keeping the outward looks similar... actually it might just be a Delta Plus with a bodykit
>>24018201>>24018208>we see a ReGZ custom being prepared in the second movie, so if any Zeta sibling shows up it's gonna be that one. Which is funny sicne that is also made obsolete by the ReZel>the inclusion of the ReGz Custom is so fucking stupidThe lore said the ReZEL commander type's backpack allowed for atmospheric flight, but we've never seen it once even in artwork (in-colony doesn't count). Hell, it might actually make some sense for them to show up in Hathaway since it's been just 9 years. I mean, they would just be glorified fighters with beams, but it'd be cool to see them act as SFS for other suits.
>>24018218>colony doesn't countAnd yet people still being up funnels working in a colony as the main justification for in-atmo funnels, baka>ReZELs in Hathawsy 3If anything we're more likely to see, and may Allah forgive me for uttering this word, some Ankshas. This entire conflict is basically Anaheim tryong to sell of their entire stock of Base Jabbers and Base Jabber analogues, so the Jegan in a Base Jabber fursuit would fit right in. But I think that'd be a massive waste of potential, this id a perfect opportunity to develop a new member of the Plus family. Delta Plus variant slots are right there, so a C1 would be amazing. Fuck it, make a Delta Plus hummingbird. Or, if yoi really want to rape the tech tree for the sake of sales, make some kind of "Penelope Plus", essentially a GMfied version of the Minovsky flight system. Imagine a Zeta Plus with trapezoidal wings and the yellow "minovsky vents" on them, with some of penelope's monoeye imagery added onto the shield. My dick...
>>24018211yeah but the Custom's existence is already shaky since it shouldn't have been built because Amuro got the Nu on timeand now the one MS that can give Hathaway a schizoid breakdown is gonna be there? that shit was supposed to be damn near one of a kind it's too much of a contrivance that didn't need to be there
>>24018245I think it's very cool. The movie as a whole is an absolute masterpiece, I trust the crew they're going to give us a good reason.
>>24018106ironically an awful choice for this, Fiver was on its backfoot in a 1v1 dogfight against an Asshimar because it's really just not built for this kind of situation. Unless there's a truly massive gap in pilot skill any Zeta series suit is gonna wreck it.Now, Hrairoo II on the other hand is specifically designer to intercept them.
>>24018354>The movie as a whole is an absolute masterpiece, I trust the crew they're going to give us a good reason.
>>24018354they haven't disappointed me yet but they are priming themselves for something very stupid
>>24018574elaborate
>>24018595>>24018245
>>24018619I'll take any amount of nonsensical MS appearances over another Gigi focused movie. Give me 30 minutes of a Juaggu with Hi-Nu wings fighting the Xi instead of Gigi picking out the carpets for her new luxury house (she abandons it after the scene is over, this entire compilation didn't matter)
>>24018622you are just not good enough for this movie and it's very, very funny
>>24018623So you stop LARPing as the reasonable guy when it comes to Hathaway?
>>24018201I can see the Zeta Plus being used by the time of F91.The Federation is still using Jegans so presumably there's still a niche a high performance Wave Rider MS can still fulfill.
>>24018761ReZELs were still in use circa UC 0116, partly because plans for a miniaturized successor model fell through so you'd think the logic would hold but personally I wouldn't count on that beyond just old garrison units that haven't been mothballed.ReZEL is much more compatible with Jegans and therefore later models that follow it like Heavygun so it's much easier to incorporate into supply systems.And furthermore it also functions as a SFS for other units which is one of its main selling points. Meanwhile Zeta Plus is pretty much exclusively a solo flier I believe, or at least not really optimized for the role.
>>24018771I was under the impression the Zeta Plus had better specs than the ReZEL. As far as we can tell from Unicorn it's used to guard VIPs and presumably other high priority missions. And no another MS cannot hitch a ride on a Zeta Plus.There is the atmospheric flight capability to take into consideration which I'm pretty sure the ReZEL lacks. The Zeta Plus only competition would be... the Anksha *shudders*
>>24018775>I was under the impression the Zeta Plus had better specs than the ReZELSorta depends. The Zeta Plus A1 and C1 have a slight advantage in straight line acceleration due to higher thrust than the ReZEL, but the ReZEL has newer avionics, stronger reactor, and potentially better agility due to lighter weight.>As far as we can tell from Unicorn it's used to guard VIPs and presumably other high priority missions.And the flagship General Revil was stocked with ReZELs but no Zeta Pluses.>There is the atmospheric flight capability to take into consideration which I'm pretty sure the ReZEL lacks.Lore says the ReZEL has modular backpack, the regular models get the common "box" backpack which is fine for space but the commander models get the winged backpack that supposedly works in-atmo.>The Zeta Plus only competition would be... the Anksha *shudders*Delta Plus?
> The Zeta Plus A1 and C1 have a slight advantage in straight line acceleration due to higher thrust than the ReZEL, but the ReZEL has newer avionics, stronger reactor, and potentially better agility due to lighter weight.you assholes that discuss MS specs legit just make shit up to argue over
>>24018869Isn't Delta Plus a one-off prototype/black project?
>>24018869Counter argument: Amuro piloted a Zeta Plus therefore it has longer legacy because Amuro is popular to the point they invent shit for him to pilot like the Jeda. Ergo the Zeta Plus must still be in use by F91 because his name makes banks for Bandai.Done.
>>24018775I'd say they're probably pretty similar, but I'll give an edge to ReZEL regardless because it's easier to use and maintain which is far more valuable than some specs.Besides, even the one case we have for later ReZEL use was in a specialized, non-standard military unit, all the regular forces we see are just using non-variable suits.At the end of the day it comes down to the reasoning that regular mobile suit + optionally SFS is a better option because what it loses in response speed and operational flexibility it makes up for with cost effectiveness or just simply low cost.>>24018869>Delta PlusDelta Plus is in a kinda fucked up situation because it's ostensibly still in a prototyping stage for military use in UC 0096... which began in UC 0090. And in the meantime ReZEL kinda took over in all the ways that matter but it's like nobody gave enough of a fuck to officially cancel Delta Plus so it just kinda slipped through the cracks I guess>>24018883>Amuro piloted a Zeta PlusThere's conflicting testimonies on that. We never actually see the guy doing it and it wouldn't be anywhere near the only case of Karaba just slapping the A marking and spreading rumors Amuro is piloting it to raise morale and keep Titans intelligence guessing>they invent shit for him to pilot like the Jedayeah that was invented... in 1987 via High-Streamer. Moon Gundam just adapted existing settings there.
>>24018874nigga just look it up
>>24018878Delta Plus was a rework of the failed Delta Gundam with new technology 10 years later to make it transformable and went into very limited production, according to the master grade model booklet. Same "Plus" naming as the production Zeta models for air and space use. Then Anaheim took one of the Delta Plus units and customized it back into a one-of-a-kind special snowflake to result in the Gundam Delta Kai, which might be the prototype you're thinking of.
>>24018888>There's conflicting testimonies on that. We never actually see the guy doing it and it wouldn't be anywhere near the only case of Karaba just slapping the A marking and spreading rumors Amuro is piloting it to raise morale and keep Titans intelligence guessingWe have confirmation from Bandai that Amuro did pilot the Zeta Plus. That's the best word we can get short of Tomino telling us what Amuro was piloting off screen.>in 1987 via High-StreamerYeah, I don't think Amuro was piloting that thing, hon.
And this is why I was against starting another thread so soon. The wrong crowd came here and the vibes are off.
>>24018910don't be a pussy we're just playing around
>>24018903Delta Kai is an ugly piece of shit and not at all what I was thinking of, I vaguely recalled the Delta Plus in Unicorn being a special snowflake prototype still in development given to Riddhe, I didn't realize it was already in production
>>24018910>advance of Zeta thread>complains when we discuss advanced Zetashuh?
>>24018918>>24018925But the thread is uncomfy and people are being dummies...
>>24018910I have been posting in these threads for as long as they've been called what they are. What's the problem here?
*Loud diarrhea fart sound*
>>24018921Well, can't fault you since Unicorn gives it that impression and doesn't explain otherwise right up to when it gets unceremoniously trashed.
>>24018952it looks so ass cryingemoji
>>24018961Why did Unicorn hate the Plus series so much? I don't think the Delta even did anything other than killing that kid (based) and Riddhe slicing the arms off that one Doga.

>>24019013unironically yes, people forget Brave Cod was a bumHe charges the FAZZs thinking he'll just evade the missile barrage and promptly fails miserably because he's not built as different as he thought. The only reason he then beats them is because they figured that was it and just started to leave.

>>24020814FAZZ's cannon isn't even good for ZZ. Can't wield the beam saber, compromises one missile pod for a literall one trick pony that needs long ass time to recharge, compromises the handcannon because how to aim when that big gun is dangling on his shoulder? It is a good fit for FAZZ because the dummy mobile suit can't actually fight without it.

>>24018133>The intake on the underside is a really nice touch, though I have to wonder where the fuck it goes when transforming.Huh? The Zeta Plus always had an intake on the underside though. At least the atmospheric variants. It's on the shield.
>>24022035I never noticed. There's so many shield variants, its an untapped goldmine
>>24022047There's the A1B variant that has a Gatling gun on the nosecone like the A-10. That one up above is the D type that has a different nosecone, tail and intakes on the back where the C1 has boosters.
Basically, my whole taste in MS was shaped by the fact we were denied this kino.
>>24022035What are they pointing out? landing years?
>>24022116Yeah Dalong is pointing out where you attach the landing gears.
>>24022083>>24022081I wonder why they never revisited the concept of skirt guns? Only the Sentinel designs get them despite being the ideal unobtrusive weapon when you want to make a "holy fuck it has a lot of guns" version of a gundam
>>24022308V2A says bonjouralso by Katoki and not long after Sentinel, I guess he was really into them at the timethat said they are rather rare though we have iconic cases outside of UC like Freedom. I guess a big factor here is how if they're small they can feel lame and if they're large they can easily get in the way, especially for model kits.By and large it's just simpler to design weapons on the backpack or such, if you put weapons on the skirts it's gonna be something unobstructive like missiles or grenades. And nowadays you more often have cases of designs minimizing or outright not having skirt armor like that.
>>24022314>And nowadays you more often have cases of designs minimizing or outright not having skirt armor like that.nopan degenerates...
>>24022308Fun side note: the S Gundam and the Zeta Plus C1 (because the A1 is slightly different) share the exact same side skirt guns, arms and thighs.
>>24022316i think it's really more like wearing spats or shorts instead
>>24022321I imagine that was intentional, much like the Neros
>>24022314And they’re not just skirt-guns, they are in fact skirt-VSBR’s
>>24022530It's pretty funny to think those tiny guns probably have more output than something like the Zeta's mega launcher
>>24022314Only the gundams tend to be butt naked nowadays. The monoeyes are still comming out with skirt.

Any engage knowers that can give ma QRD on this character? She looks like a Puru and appears to get progressively more deranged as time goes on
>>24023614Long story short literally just a girl that keeps getting fucked over by life at every opportunity and somehow ends up on the losing side of every conflict when all she wants to do is protect people she cares about. Most of the time the only thing she manages to achieve is barely survive while everyone else dies.But in the end she may or may not end up living with a happy found family including two surviving Purus so it's all worth it.
>>24023835So she's not actually a Puru? Is she a cyber NT? Why does he turn blonde and psycho at some point?

>>24023897She changes her hair a bunch, hair dye also exists in UC. In fact, I'm surprised we never got Purus with dyed hair since it's an easy way to tell clones apart. Then again most Purus aren't really characters
>>24023898>She changes her hair a bunch, hair dye also exists in UCthere are more cyber newtypes in UC than just purus. besides peche's story begins in 0079, why would she be a puru created in 0088? her abilities are also weak as fuck so she doesn't seem related to purus in both looks and powers>In fact, I'm surprised we never got Purus with dyed hair since it's an easy way to tell clones apart.>Then again most Purus aren't really charactersbasically yeah, it was never intended for them to have individuality like that aside from puru two since two was deployed the earliest so she had the most experience among her clone sisters and was given extra treatment by glemmy
>>24023913>extra treatmentWhen talking about Purus, that sounds sinister

What's the deal with the MkIII and all the "Halpuley" variants? Is there canon one and the others got retconned? Or are they all canon? Does the MkIII line end with them or did it eventually evolve into another MS down the line?
>>24025816You've got three separate lines because different groups (namely Anaheim, Titans and Federation) took a look at Gundam Mk-II data and had their own spin on how to further develop the technology.Anaheim's Mk-III is the most famous one and typically the one people refer to, to the point the other ones largely faded out into the background. Though they're not outright obscure and are referenced in one way or another on occassion.Anaheim's MSF-007 refines the movable frame and reaches very high performance and further expansion capacity. The design team was seconded to Augusta lab and incorporated its data into Gundam Mk-IV and by extension Mk-V and its successors. There might have been as many as eight units built or at least planned as we know of a red Unit 8 that was intended for Char before getting damaged.Federation's RX-166 nicknamed "Eagley" was developed at the Kilimanjaro Base and is an enhanced version of the Mk-II but not much else is known besides that.Titans' RX-272 was depending on the source either already in planning before Mk-IIs were stolen or conceived as a counter to Zeta Gundam. It may or may not incorporate some Gaplant juice in it. In AoZ contest the Gaplant TR-5 Hrairoo has head features inspired by it. Three units with different equipment types were planned and/or built - "Fria", "Halpuley" and "Dureye". Out of them we only know how Halpuley looked like. It recently got a lot of buzz because Silver Phantom Gravure manga features the "Arvray", a fusion of the Anaheim Mk-III with Halpuley tech.IRL it was specifically designed to give the Halpuley some spotlight after all these years.Also canon is a spook and you shouldn't care, let alone worry about it.
>>24025832>Silver Phantom GravureIsn't that bikini models?
>>24025856it's primarily a term for a type of engraving, pervertmuch like how creampies are a kind of cake
>>24025863Riiight, no such thing in Gundam
makes ya think don't it?
I want to believe
>>24026175Hmmmm>>24026195Dont' really understand the relation here. If anything, it feels like the Bawoo has more in common with ZZ than Gaplant. >bun tonkscute!
>>24026208The comparison is between Zeta and Gaplant (with a side dish of Halpuley) as high performance transformable mobile weapons and the next step in the arms race. Namely, a high powered variable mobile suit with separation and combination functions for greater versatility. For AEUG that's the ZZ, for Titans that's the Haze'n-thley. You could say this is... Advance of Zeta.Picture somewhat related, with the unused drafts for Evolve's Red Zeta III showcasing a separation feature. Plus a bunch of cool guns and such.Bawoo is more similar to ZZ (it has a bunch of Z&ZZ juice) but it's not relevant for a Gryps Conflict comparison.
>>24026208I think the Gundam MkIII Halpuley and the Gaplant and Zeta represent some of the first transforming MS where they were designed for atmospheric use and the three of them end up adopting wedge-shaped lifting bodies instead of relying on wings.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifting_body?useskin=vectorThe line under the Zeta seems to say the Zeta design continued development via the Sigma and ZZ Gundams where they started incorporating modular bodies that can separate and recombine.
