Since Danny just made a post of mecha figures I figured I'd ask this for my first post. Out of all the Mecha series ever what's your favorite mech and why? My favorite has got to be the Zephyranthes Full Vernian from Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory. Something about the design just makes me like it. Plus it's a particularly strong suit until Gato destroys it..... Why do you like your favorite mech?

Yuri eroge artist. Well, sort of.
Mine has got to be Gundam Zero from the Wing series. It was the first Gundam series I watched when I was around 7 and the thing that got me captivated was Zero's wings. Freaking uber. :D

Well, since you're asking for a MS rather than just plain Gundam, my fav is the Acguy. Round and chubby ^^
(ID #287188) Posted on 2008/09/01 23:58
My favourite Gundam now is unicorn gundam, it was deathsythe(all the versions) before that though. My favourite non-gundam MS would be Quebeley, I guess it's because of the wierd design.

Freedom. The way it makes its debut fight, to the music of Meteor, was just mad amazing. Also, I don't get bored of its full burst mode, especially when it does it upside down :P
(ID #287223) Posted on 2008/09/02 00:33
exia, freedom & S Freedom i think i like wings LOL
(ID #287227) Posted on 2008/09/02 00:40
mine would be the perfect RX-93 Nu Gundam from Char's Counterattack. the MG version from Bandai really looks cool and Keita's mod makes it look badass: http://mesarionplus.hannnari.com/gallery/type4m/type4m.htm

Like you Arisato-kun, I enjoy the the RX-78-2 GP-03D. I like the main character, not like all the other characters who either have some special abilities or horrible history and needs gundams to take out their stress. Kou Iraki is the main character of the pilot of GP01 and 03. I like 03 with the attachment solely cuz its large, massive, and can dissintigrate anything in its path (watch the movie if you haven't done so). Other than that unit, I enjoy a lot of the Titans Trial Team test units, especially TR-5 and TR-6 with their large attachments. ^_^ Hurray for large attachments and massive weaponry!!!

The 03's bulky size kinda turned me off it. I mean it's ridiculously powerful when it's fighting Neue Zeil but I'm just not a fan of mobile armors....
(ID #287723) Posted on 2008/09/02 12:29
So with me here but I also like Le Cygne which was the only non gundam ms that was very powerful.
(ID #308226) Posted on 2008/09/21 02:45
my favorite is in between RX-79(G) mass production model and Kampfer
(ID #287258) Posted on 2008/09/02 01:19
The High-Nu Gundam looks pretty good, considering the fact that it was the inspiration for S.Freedom and all. I still dig the good old Zeta and Quebeley variants, and the Unicorn is just sweet ^_^
(ID #287266) Posted on 2008/09/02 01:26

Mine would be Destiny, due to the giant wings and sword. Second would probably be Lukas O'Donnel's Strike E with IWSP attachment

The Physallis has a special place in my heart. It takes guts to pilot a mobile suit carrying a nuke in a can. Then again, I have a tendacy to go for non-mainstream MS... GM-Powered... Ez-8... Over Flag... 105 Dagger... the Orb Union MSes... man, it's so hard to decide!

Oooh yeah. GP02A 4-ever! I think it's one of the best unique looking Gundam I've ever seen. It looks like it could kick every other Gundam's ass. Though I also like Wing Zero Custom and Strike Freedom. I'm also starting to like Exia a lot.
(ID #287957) Posted on 2008/09/02 16:18
Favorite is a non gundam Tallgeese 3
(ID #287330) Posted on 2008/09/02 02:14
I have way too many favorites so, I'll break it down like this: Fave "Real" Robot mech: YF-19 Fave Super Robot mech: Mazinkaiser Fave AU Gundam: Strike Freedom Fave AU Non-Gundam MS: Overflag Fave UC Gundam: ZZ Gundam Fave UC Non-Gundam MS: Gouf Custom Fave Banpresto/SRW "Real" Robot mech: Alteisen Riese Fave Banpresto/SRW Super Robot mech: Vaisaga
(ID #287349) Posted on 2008/09/02 02:35
Oops, I didn't post my "whys"... YF-19 because it's plane mode is the most badass looking of anything in Macross and I love the forward swept wind design. Mazinkaiser because it's the strongest of all the Mazingers (sorry Grendizer fans, that's just what I think), and Mazinger is my fave Super Robot franchise. The Strike Freedom because it has everything I'd ever want on a Gundam...dual beam rifles, mobile weapon pod system (fin funnels, bits, DRAGOONs, etc.), beam shields, and cool looking wings. The Overflag because it just looks too cool. ZZ Gundam because out of all the UC Gundams it seems the most over-the-top and I love my Gundams over-the-top. The Gouf Custom because it was able to kick major ass against a team of Gundams, plus I love large gatling guns. The Alteisen Riese because it took my former favorite, the Alteisen, and just made it that much cooler (love giving it the hammer). The Vaisaga because what isn't cool about a dark ninja/knight super robot?

Non-Gundam, YF-19 for me as well :). I even shelled out for that 1:60 YF=19 by Yamato when it came out (pretty expensive if I remember correctly).
(ID #287542) Posted on 2008/09/02 07:06
All time favourite of mine has to be Gundam Deathsycthe hell OVA version

A part of me really loves the freedom gundam design (not strike freedom tho. No way) Otherwise, Maybe hi-Nu, although I'm not a fan of the slight redesign for the MG. Non Gundam, it would be the Sazabi or the Kaempfer. The only 2 non gundam kits I have from the UC.

(ID #287394) Posted on 2008/09/02 03:16
Favorite because of: Power: GP02 - Carries a nuke. No other Gundam has that much firepower. Function: RX-79 - I love real military gear. A Gundam that functions like one is a huge plus. Looks: MSN-06S Sinanju, Wing Gundam Ver. Ka., Hi-Nu, GN-X

Same here IMO the most impressive Gundam ever must be the GP02. (not gunpla wise) but my alltime favorite Gundam is still Freedom. I was so sad when it got destroyed by that bastard shin.
(ID #287422) Posted on 2008/09/02 03:50

I kinda thought Strike Freedom was very similar to Freedom that it quickly became a favourite. You gotta sacrifice freedom in order for something cool like the Strike Freedom :D
(ID #287958) Posted on 2008/09/02 16:20
LOL episode 39 of GSD had the opposite effect on me than it had on most of the people on this board (a lot of people call it the low point of Gundam because they think Kira became "god" in that episode). I, on the other hand, saw it as the impressive debut of my new favorite Gundam (Freedom was #1 before) with a nice TM Revolution song playing the background.
(ID #288131) Posted on 2008/09/02 19:43

Favorite mobile suit, probably the Nu Gundam, Evolve version. Favorite mecha though, I have to go with Cobray Gordon's Dis Astranagant. You can't beat a scythe wielding shotgun blasting demonic wings bearing bits and powered by the souls of the dead and black hole shooting Mecha. You can't beat that.

hmm, make mine either a MS-07B3 Gouf Custom, MS-18E Kampfer or my all time favorite, Sazabi. And yes, I am a Zeon suit freak =P
(ID #287528) Posted on 2008/09/02 06:33
For me its all about the Gundam Ez-8 from the 08th MS team, that suit gets shot at, cut up, and even gets temporarily disabled by the Gouf custom. But even then it still keeps on fighting all the way until punching the Apsalus III in the cockpit, going down in a blaze of unbelievable glory (quite literally). That bad boy is really tough and can certainly hold its own against any suit Zeon has to offer...of course it has to be on the ground only, haha.
(ID #287537) Posted on 2008/09/02 06:58
mine is Z Gundam

RX-79G, GP04 Gerbera Tetra, Ex-S in the Gundam serie. Then there are the Valkyries. VF-1 and YF21. As for super robots, There's the Getter mechs for me. Godannar gets special mention. :D

I think no one mentioned one of my other favourites aside from GP02A... RX-78 NT-1, Alex. I always had a bias towards stuff that's armoured. It's barely seen in the anime 0080, but I thought it was one of the earliest cool Gundams. Oh and I also like this custom Gundam hehe: http://www.dannychoo.com/detail/mac/eng/image/2228/Saber+gundam.html
