Love this amazing coverage on Buster and Calamity variants! Also some additional trivias: - The "Scylla" cannon on Calamity's torso was technically based on Aegis' "Scylla" MA mode cannon, hence the similar naming. - The way Verde Bustere's hip bayonet cannon's combine was technically homage to Wing Gundam Zero's Twin Buster Rifles (Note the "Buster" name).
Azrael did sell the sword calamity unit 03 to the Sahaku twins and Ed didn't "join" the U.S.S.A. (United States of South America), he returned to his homeland to fight for its independence from the North Atlantic Federation. Good coverage of the background for the Artillery line of GAT-X mobile suits.
@@zethythonix technically the source material is correct.

@@simplesabahanguy9976False. Gundam 00 never reused stock footage, that was released in 2007. Also Gundam X and Turn A Gundam rarely used stock footage.

3 years later: Turns out the original Buster Gundam was salvaged by the Lacus faction, upgraded with an N-Jammer Canceler and turned into the Lightning Buster Gundam. Per the Gundam wiki, it has: 2x MA-X60S/D Multi-Barrel Purpose Gun. (These are the big guns on the Lightning Buster's back. They can either fire over the shoulders like the Freedom's or under the arm like the base Buster's guns.) 2x MMI-KX815 High-Energy Beam Gun. (These are small bean rifles attached to the Lightning Buster's hips.) 2x Type 77 Multi-Purpose Guided Missile Launcher. (The missile pods the base Buster used have been moved to it's back above the thrusters. While not listed on the wiki, there appear to be 4 more lasers on the shoulders (2 on each shoulder). These might be extra cameras but I think they're more weapons.
@@zethythonix Thank you and i did not expect 3 amazing suit design gets destroyed by a dragon, well expect the reason why the red dragon is my fav. looking forward to know more.
Seriously, whoever looked at the Calamity Gundam and went "this will be a great close quarter combat unit" is too open minded. Did the over-sized cannons and all sorts of beam blasters around it's body that subtle? What a mad lad.
Buster is the simplified maneuvering mobile suits i believe many Naturals can be operated it too beside Calamity is the Inverted one this huge mobile suits looks complicated caused the pilot getting pain and stress even he/she is not Biological CPU or Extend
In my school vr game the buster gundam had a new veriont called the X buster gundam and it was heavily armed where it has 2 mega particul cannons as the arms and has 2 dainslefts on the back that fold on the back it participated in the ultra guardians tournament island defence but it got destroyed by the gala dual gundam in vidar mode and for calamity gundam it has a upgrade veriont called calamity war gundam and it is unmatched in power it has upgraded sensors and nanolaminated armour which was destroyed by the napalm from 00 goalius gn arios and archer combined mode and the thing was destroyed by friendly fire from the barbatos lupas rex massive club
would love to see a video on blitz gundam, such a shame it's destroyed so early on in the anime. I think nicole is a great musician but he's not a great soldier. Maybe that's the tragedy of war, eh?
@@zethythonix 🤷♂️ wish Bandai could make and publish mobile suits data book.. not many people have the time and commitment to build gunpla.. just the info data book on the Gundam series (not specified) is more than enough for certain people like me..
@@zethythonix Bandai really need to expand their market by advertising/selling the manga and side-stories series to overseas fans, just like the Astray manga series, we really had trouble getting the source materials other than the anime itself. So far the only good thing they did was adding English translations on the instruction manuals including the Gunpla/MSs stories/data.
Cosmic era timeline units has some crazy good designs, its just sad the story was not up to par, I thought destiny was going to be better until they introduced kira again smh
@@zethythonix I've been reading the chapters on Gundaminfo, and it's interesting so far. It turns out Chairman Durandal used to be with the Clyne Faction. Imagine that. LOL.
So I'm confused you said the calamity and sister units could only be piloted by cpu's aka boosted men on drugs but how does "Ed The Ripper" pilot the sword calamity without being a boosted man on drugs??? Maybe ur wrong and anyone can pilot them just the only way to get full potential out of these units with naturals was with the boosted men "(food for thought) if you have evidence or proof that those specific three can only be piloted by boosted men I'd like to see it cause I don't think that was ever stated in seed or seed destiny. & What about coordinators couldn't they pilot them as well?
Perhaps you need to go back and read more info, the natural OS was nearly developed by the time Sword Calamity concept was created, which was why Ed can pilot it. Next answer, Coordinator cannot exactly handle the druggies OS because the druggies training and drugs were different, there’s no guarantee that Coordinator can handle it as well as the druggies
The constant redesigns of this one gundam shows the lack of creativity SEED is accused of. There is a reason "support" roles were put on more expendable mobile suits.
The sword calamity was just another variant of the calamity Because it may have fought in different battles but they both existed at the same time Pls. Just improve your research
Because the footage on Gundam info have a poor quality, and most of the anime websites were still using the old footage. Even they have remastered version, but the quality is as poor as the one on RUclips. So that’s why i used the ones with Chinese subs
Make sure you turned on the CC Subs to understand better!
