Thanks for putting so much time and love into this video. I'm 37 and I just recently got into building gunpla. I saw a sale at hobby lobby and decided to give it a go. I've got a wife and three kids and this has become the perfect hobby for me when everyone goes to bed and I've got a little time to myself. I watched Gundam Wing as a kid on Toonami and loved it. Building these models and watching videos like this while I do it has been nostalgic and a whole lot of fun. It's allowed me to share something I loved as a kid with my daughters too. Thanks so much for the video. I liked and subbed. Wishing you success!
As a note, I'd actually suggest that with the RX-78-2, while Master Grades are awesome, the Full Weapons Entry Grade is one that I'd put as the best starting point for Gunpla at the moment (Though I prefer the American Type colors) And for the Heavyarms Custom... the IGEL unit is just insane though loses the maneuverability that Trowa always was showing off. But it's hilarious that the main thing with Trowa in upgrading that thing is adding even more guns...which is also shows in the scene with Trowa in a Serpent as his custom one also has doubled guns With the Tallgeese, the Zi-Long and Flugel are also great versions of the design...though I have some issues with the Flugel because Katoki went nuts in retcon mode for the manga. The Zi-Long is one of the cool new suits for Episode 0 and shows why the thing is so dangerous to its pilots. And the Original reason the Tallgeese 3 had a zero system is one that was recovered from the Wing Gundam Seraphim following Tiel's Impulse with the wing systems and Zero upgrades being where the majority of the Wing Gundam Zero Custom/EW's wing system came from. I still wish that they'd actually produced the OZMPMS Suits from Tiel's Impulse. There is also a pretty cool and rather simple tutorial for using the old HGFA/NG Tallgeese kits in conjunction with the HGAC Leo to make a really cool HG Tallgeese. Another thing that I kind of wish is that there would be an actual answer about the blue oni to Epyon's red oni...Gundam Aquarius which is designed entirely to brutalize mobile dolls. But with Epyon, I think there were other things with it because by the end of Gundam Wing, that thing had the head vulcans added in just like the other Gundams do. As a side note, if you like the Sazabi, you'll really love the Nightengale...because dear lord the novel versions of Char uses that as his final suit with Amuro in the Hi-Nu. There's also the new ff version for the Sazabi and Nu. Oh, for the Zero system, it's pretty much confirmed that it's a full on AI as of the abomination that is Wing Gundam Lucifer which started puppeting it's pilot. Also the Zero system recovered from the Wing Zero for the Wing Gundam Snow White rejected anyone else as a pilot other than Heero
I'm astonished that there's no love for 00 mobile suits on this list. They deserve much more than honorable mentions. I watched 00 before I watched any UC Gundam shows and nothing in UC could live up to the sheer awesomeness of the Raiser imo. I do love how you've placed the ZZ so high on this list though. It was by far my fav UC show and the ZZ Gundam is so damn cool for all the reasons you mentioned
I don’t even have words to describe how bad of a take it is to say that the Raiser is an “awesome “ Mobile Suit omfg you need to watch more Gundam if that’s your genuine opinion
@@chrischecketts8792 Raiser is objectively one of the most powerful suits in all of Gundam that ain't even an opinion lol. It's capabilities far surpass pretty much any suit aside from perhaps its own successor the Qan T and the Unicorn. Now I haven't seen Seed and don't particularly want to so I don't know how it stacks up against the more advanced Freedom suits or anything (I'm guessing that suit is OP), but last I checked the ability to quantize through enemies and chop space stations in half with your energy weapon is pretty unparalleled.
@@chrischecketts8792 even from a pure design perspective it is one of the most sleek and sexy mobile suits in Gundam and to try to say it is ugly or lame you would obviously have some poor taste in mecha design and probably think the only valid mobile suit designs are the RX-78 and the Zeta, or something.
I pretty much ONLY deal with Universial Century stuff, so my list is VERY focused. I also collect and build almost EXCLUSIVELY Zakus... With the exception of my favorite Gundam, the EZ-8. No other Gundam comes CLOSE to how much I love the EZ-8.
I always found the Destiny Gundam to be the best jack of all trades. It has PS armour, anti beam shield, mirage collode wings of light, a beam sabre, a massive anti ship sword, a beam rifle, a massive beam cannon, beam boomerangs and a palm cannon thing. What more could you want
If 00 Qan T Full Saber was shown in animated rather than just in a battle record. It could show something like Destiny with having a lot of options with the Full Saber. Also I always wondered if ELS Qan T could be its final, ultimate form when all of its weapons are destroyed.
1. Dynames Gundam (such a good design, simple and yet doesnt feel lacking) 2.Sazabi and Cheridum Gundam (masterful designs that just always appeal to me. Sazabi is just an encapsulation of Char himself and Cheridam is just a Nu Gundam with a snipe by the end.) 3.Grimgerde and Tallgeese (another simple design that really defines the Valkryie line that is so underrated. Tallgeese is self explanatory here.) 4.Buster Gundam and Duel Gundam (a duo I could never seperate. I really appreciate that the Duel Gundam is pretty much an Alex with mych more screen time... even if its a jobber suit in Seed) 5. Kampfer Amazing 6. Zeta Gundam, Hyaku Shiki and the Delta Plus 7. All Gelgoogs (Really enjoy the new Seed Freedom kit for the potential future Gelgoog kits have with similar molds.) 8. Kshatrya 9. The Graze... (perfect mooks just amazing. Not even getting into my love of the Space Variant) 10. Granpappy Gundam
More recently, something else is that the Epyon does have a paired suit to it...just that it only pops up in SD form from things for some reason. We really need a normal proportions version of Gundam Aquarius. Also I still keep hoping we'll get an anime adaptation of the G-Unit stuff because the absolute monsters of mobile suits there with the Hydra, Scuri, and Griepe...
While my favourite RX will always be Unicorn, my second favourite is the Palerider. I only start thinking about the RX-78s after those 2 much as i love the Granddaddy.
I remember reading that the gundam wing gundams have an ai but all the pilots disengaged theirs except quatra. That's how the sandrock self destructed after it ejected its pilot.
I love crossbone Gundam. I really hope it’s get an anime or OVA adaptation. Also, one of my favorite mobile suit is Infinite Justice. I love the beam emitters on the legs, the backpack, and versatile shield.
The MG Gundam 3.0 was made to resemble the old Gundam statue that was where the Unicorn is now. The RG was tyled after the same statue and the 3.0 is just a modified 2.0 iirc. Kinda wish i had the 2.0 instead so he matched the G-3 and Proto but bought all three together and didn't realise until too late
Hmmm...I'm actually the opposite as far as non gundams...I like gundams...but I tend to like the unique and creative non gundam's over the years. Though a gundam would top my list: 1. Nu Gundam: what makes the Nu special is that he's a fairly simple design other than the fin funnels. Amuro designed it, and decided that fancy mega weapons, hundreds of bits, etc...were pointless. 2. Quebely: what's not to like, menacing, perfect colors, extreme performance and gundam's most intriguing pilot 3. Sazabi: Chars last was also his best. Seemingly a desendant of the gelgoog and Rick Dom with its flared legs and thin striking head 4. The O: I absolutely love this monster. It's strange, eschews that fancy slim look, and still outdodges it's contemporaries 5. Byalant: Jerids little machine did rather well against the Zeta. Who can forget Byalant's action scene in Unicorn? Again, weird looking, menacing, deadly 6. Hambrabi: it had a couple of beam guns, a heat serpent, a bunch of eyes all over it and the pilot wasn't even a newtype...and Yazan roflstomped nearly every newtype in the show. Even when Camille invoked space magic, he got out in a pod. The hambrabi looks frightening and to many of zeta's main characters...the last mobile suit they ever saw. 7. Gundam NT-1 Alex: I've always liked how this thing looks, and imagine what it would have been like in Amuros hands. It's a slick, cool looking upgrade that still holds up design-wise today without needing a Katoki or modern brush up. 8. Kampfer: honestly probably should be higher...this thing is sexy....and the cyclops team basically assembled it in a garage. 9. Guf custom: the Guf was no Zaku...but was a pretty basic unit until we saw Norris create one of the greatest battle scenes in Gundam history. Wow! 10. Neue Zeil (spelling? I'm doing this on my phone from memory...) this thing looks completely alien when it appeared to match its equally alien looking opponent, the GP03 Dendrobium (which honestly should share this 10 spot) the last battle of 0083 is still one of my favorites, and though Kou could be an annoying character, the last episode made me forget all that. Hope you enjoyed the list if you read this long thing Micah, it's been great watching get deep into Gundam
for me (just top 3-5) ●UC ○Gundam type --Nu Gundam --Hi-Nu Gundam --Zeta Gundam ○Visor type(Gm Family) --Jegan Type D --Jesta --GM Spartan --GM Striker --Powered GM ○Mono-eye type --Sazabi(except for the cockpit position, I'd love it more if it's in the chest instead of head) --Geara Zulu --Zaku F2 --Zudah ●CE ○Gundam type --Strike Freedom --Astray Goldframe (Hana)(the white armor one) --Astray Blueframe second --Destiny ○Visor type --none(dagger and windam don't slap me enough) ○Mono-eye type --Zaku Phantom/Warrior --Cerberus Bucue Hound(black one in Stargazer) --Guaiz
Those are some very good mobile suit choices my dude. I'm especially loving the Tallgeese, Epyon, ZZ, Nu Gundam, and Wing Zero on your lists as those MS are on my list too. Speaking of which.... 10) RX-78-2 Gundam (Always gotta put grandpappy Gundam on the list lest ye turn in your Gundam fan card) 9) God Gundam (One of the very Gundam designs that heavily inspired my favorite mecha of all times, Weltall Id from Xenogears) 8) Gerbera Tetra (The closest Zeon ever got to having its own Gundam) 7) GP03 Dendrobium/Stamen (Not just a badass mobile suit design, but an entire arsenal platform with all sorts of missles, beam cannons, and shit) 6) Tallgeese (A design while elegant is also quite metal as fuck) 5) Epyon (THAT MS is most certainly METAL AS FUCK) 4) Zeta (Such a classic design that while copying Macross' homework still has that Gundam tang we all know and love) 3) ZZ (Now THAT THING is all sorts of METAL AS FUCK with it armed to the teeth and loaded for bear weaponry) 2) Wing Zero (2nd greatest Gundam design if you ask me) 1) Nu/Hi-Nu Gundam (It's Japan's most popular Gundam for a very very VERY good reason)
To me the Gundam Thrones from Gundam 00 are my favorite overall design for any Gundam mecha, I just loved their slim look, red particle effects, and their red/black beam weapons. My Top 5. 1. Gundam Throne Eins (Just love the giant shoulder mounted cannon and its black) 2. Gundam Barbatos Lupus Rex (Love the feral claws and the remote tail blade) 3. Gundam Banshee (I'm a sucker for black gundams and this one has serious armory of weapons) 4. Gundam Deathscythe EW (Another black gundam but this one has bat wings and a giant beam scythe) 5. Gundam Epyon (Turns into a twin-headed dragon, has a heated whip, and a giant beam sword)
I got the RX-93 as my first gundam model kit for Christmas two years ago, but it’s not the most sturdy in my opinion. To be fair, my dad bought it for me, and didn’t know that easier kits existed for beginners.
Wasn’t the sazabi designed by reverse engineering the moon Gundam they stole? I just remember hearing that somewhere but can’t find the manga to confirm it
Just UC Zaku 2 (all variants) for me Hope they give new upgrade UC Zaku 2 with more modern and beam weapons like GM and no more tube all around (legs,head and torso)
The ZERO system is pretty cool, but it's not the first time it's been done. I mean, there's the EXAM system, the biosensor, the NT-D, Invoke, hell, even Amuro's original gundam had a pretty spiffy leanring computer... though, it didn't really go anywhere with ti really... Ugh.
I totally agree with this man But how i wish there is a master grade version of the wing zeeo tv version. Proto Zero i great yes but it would be a more nostalgic feel and satisfaction if they would make that thing on plastic and throw in their own preference of sleekness.
My favorite line of mobile suits have to be the Delta Gundam line and it's offshoots, in my opinion the best looking design lineage in Gundam, sleek and powerful design plus I think the ones that do transform have the best wave-rider modes. Yes I know it's 11 with this the other 10 are interchangeable in how I like them. The rest are in no particular order Jesta/Jesta Cannon Jegan and all its variants. Gouf Custom Zaku 1 Sniper Ground Gundam / Ez-8 ReZel line Dom line Geara Doga/Geara Zulu Bawoo Byarlant especially the Custom
I know you dont like Sinanju but i still love it even its Char Cosplay....i love the design its more slick and menacing than Nu-Gundam and Sazabi....this make me change my relationship for likIng the gundams to non gundam MS....even Geara Zulu is a downgrade Doga i still love it I also do costum color un Sinanju, turning Red to Navy Blue
you are right about forgetting other weapons on the crossbone x1 full cloth. the buster gun can figure mini rockets like a grenade launcher as well as mini nukes and the front skirt hooks the scissor anchors are perfect for the kratos impressions but yhe back skirts contaim the screw whip an extendable whip with a drill bit 9n the end. and how do you now talk about thw wicked face scars on and mouth vents look like fangs when opended to dispel heat.
That was kind of predictable. Very popular picks. My favorites from each animated series: Gouf Gouf Custom Palace Athene Quinn Mantha Phenex Heavyarms Forbidden SF Reborns Zabanya Legillis Kimaris Vidar Aerial For unmentioned my pick is the late game titular suit. My personal favorites are Heavyarms Kai EW, SF and Unicorn
This list is a very mainstream list, was expecting some unique picks, but this literally just the MC and villain MS from the main UC era series (2000s and earlier) and G Wing- some of my favorite and unique choices would have been the Delta Kai, the Penelope/Xi Gundam, Moon Gundam, the Crossbone Gundams
I think you're the first to say the Gundam ZZ is one of your favorite shows of all time which in my opinion is the worst and not a typical Gundam show because when I see Gundam I think of the serious dark action military tone not a parody series😂 lol.
I do like the Gundam Xi design as well, even without the weapons, the Gundam itself looks amazing. It looks like a Kaiju, a monster that Zeon would fear
@@bamhamerthat’s the first Gundam experience for a lot of people including myself and from design to story it’s a top tier Gundam show. If you haven’t given it a watch in a few years I’d really recommend going back and rewatching it, you might just have your mind changed watching it again with a new perspective brought on by a few years
I understand the hesitation and I agree the U.C. is the best. I will say though that if you stay only in the U.C. then you will be missing some truly great Gundam series even if it isn’t as “Gundam” as the U.C. is like Iron Blooded Orphans, Wing and Turn A and After X all fantastic series that every Gundam fan should have the privilege of watching. U.C. is the OG and the best century but lots of good Gundam to explore when you’re feeling the itch for a new series to watch.
Not my fault that Wing is better than the rest of the AU stories. Though G Gundam and IBO are right there. 00 is overrated and Seed sucks. So does WFM.
@@BigMicahC Wing is The Gundam Version of My Little Pony and Friends or The Care Bears. It is your fault. Most probably, you are a Big Fan of Boy Bands. Imagine a Gundam that has the image of an Angel(?). Them Wing kits are some of the MOST Stupidly designed Mechas! The Anime is for Retards! I have more than 400 Kits and 160 of them are Master Grades. I didn't even bother purchasing any of Them PATHETIC Wing Kits!!!!!! ........except for the Heavyarms. I have it in all existing versions😅
you like gundam wing and HATE gundam seed? subscription clicked.
>likes wing
>hates seed
I feel like this is just all western gundam fans, tbh.
As someone who grew up on Gundam Wing through Toonami, I loved seeing you give so much love to Gundams and Mobile Suits from the series.
Thanks for putting so much time and love into this video. I'm 37 and I just recently got into building gunpla. I saw a sale at hobby lobby and decided to give it a go. I've got a wife and three kids and this has become the perfect hobby for me when everyone goes to bed and I've got a little time to myself. I watched Gundam Wing as a kid on Toonami and loved it. Building these models and watching videos like this while I do it has been nostalgic and a whole lot of fun. It's allowed me to share something I loved as a kid with my daughters too. Thanks so much for the video. I liked and subbed. Wishing you success!
As a note, I'd actually suggest that with the RX-78-2, while Master Grades are awesome, the Full Weapons Entry Grade is one that I'd put as the best starting point for Gunpla at the moment (Though I prefer the American Type colors)
And for the Heavyarms Custom... the IGEL unit is just insane though loses the maneuverability that Trowa always was showing off. But it's hilarious that the main thing with Trowa in upgrading that thing is adding even more guns...which is also shows in the scene with Trowa in a Serpent as his custom one also has doubled guns
With the Tallgeese, the Zi-Long and Flugel are also great versions of the design...though I have some issues with the Flugel because Katoki went nuts in retcon mode for the manga.

I still wish that they'd actually produced the OZMPMS Suits from Tiel's Impulse.
There is also a pretty cool and rather simple tutorial for using the old HGFA/NG Tallgeese kits in conjunction with the HGAC Leo to make a really cool HG Tallgeese.
Another thing that I kind of wish is that there would be an actual answer about the blue oni to Epyon's red oni...Gundam Aquarius which is designed entirely to brutalize mobile dolls. But with Epyon, I think there were other things with it because by the end of Gundam Wing, that thing had the head vulcans added in just like the other Gundams do.
As a side note, if you like the Sazabi, you'll really love the Nightengale...because dear lord the novel versions of Char uses that as his final suit with Amuro in the Hi-Nu. There's also the new ff version for the Sazabi and Nu.

I LOVED where you put Wing Zero
Fell in love with the Heavyarms custom when I first saw it...feel even more in love when I first saw it with the Igel Unit.
My top 5 mobile suits from the series are: the Thunderbolt, The double Zeta, the crossbone, the barbaros and the death scythe.
It's interesting to see your list which I has allot of good MS on it but is completely different from mine because I perfer the Mono-eye.
Chicks dig giant robots
I'm astonished that there's no love for 00 mobile suits on this list. They deserve much more than honorable mentions. I watched 00 before I watched any UC Gundam shows and nothing in UC could live up to the sheer awesomeness of the Raiser imo.
I do love how you've placed the ZZ so high on this list though. It was by far my fav UC show and the ZZ Gundam is so damn cool for all the reasons you mentioned
Zeta and ZZ felt like a real exploration of the new realm of mpbile suit technologies. Still love the concept of the mobile armours
Its ironic that ZZ was placed high in design when in universe and by the community it's criticized for it's poor internal structure and design

I get almost "Spawn" vibes from the Zeta Gundam.... Makes me wanna watch zeta next lol
The perfect grade Rx-78-2 looks good to but its expensive

The transition from Epyon to Crossbone made my heart sing
I remember reading that the gundam wing gundams have an ai but all the pilots disengaged theirs except quatra. That's how the sandrock self destructed after it ejected its pilot.

Those are some very good mobile suit choices my dude. I'm especially loving the Tallgeese, Epyon, ZZ, Nu Gundam, and Wing Zero on your lists as those MS are on my list too. Speaking of which....
10) RX-78-2 Gundam (Always gotta put grandpappy Gundam on the list lest ye turn in your Gundam fan card)
9) God Gundam (One of the very Gundam designs that heavily inspired my favorite mecha of all times, Weltall Id from Xenogears)
8) Gerbera Tetra (The closest Zeon ever got to having its own Gundam)
7) GP03 Dendrobium/Stamen (Not just a badass mobile suit design, but an entire arsenal platform with all sorts of missles, beam cannons, and shit)
6) Tallgeese (A design while elegant is also quite metal as fuck)
5) Epyon (THAT MS is most certainly METAL AS FUCK)
4) Zeta (Such a classic design that while copying Macross' homework still has that Gundam tang we all know and love)
3) ZZ (Now THAT THING is all sorts of METAL AS FUCK with it armed to the teeth and loaded for bear weaponry)
2) Wing Zero (2nd greatest Gundam design if you ask me)
1) Nu/Hi-Nu Gundam (It's Japan's most popular Gundam for a very very VERY good reason)
For me, it's the RX-77-2 Guncannon. The best mobile suit.
The sinanju stein is a head swap away from being a gundam
The Real Grade Epyon is rather epic, if you are space limited
I cannot believe God Gundam didn’t make the list.
To me the Gundam Thrones from Gundam 00 are my favorite overall design for any Gundam mecha, I just loved their slim look, red particle effects, and their red/black beam weapons.
My Top 5.
1. Gundam Throne Eins (Just love the giant shoulder mounted cannon and its black)
2. Gundam Barbatos Lupus Rex (Love the feral claws and the remote tail blade)
3. Gundam Banshee (I'm a sucker for black gundams and this one has serious armory of weapons)
4. Gundam Deathscythe EW (Another black gundam but this one has bat wings and a giant beam scythe)
5. Gundam Epyon (Turns into a twin-headed dragon, has a heated whip, and a giant beam sword)
I got the RX-93 as my first gundam model kit for Christmas two years ago, but it’s not the most sturdy in my opinion. To be fair, my dad bought it for me, and didn’t know that easier kits existed for beginners.

Hope they give new upgrade UC Zaku 2 with more modern and beam weapons like GM and no more tube all around (legs,head and torso)
not in order
strike
freedom
wing zero custom
epyon
deathscythe hell
Hi-Nu
Gouf Custom
Barbatos (all forms)
sazabi
Kyshatria
Sinanju
I had my owen version of wing zero using wing gundam ew called wing zero lighting
The ZERO system is pretty cool, but it's not the first time it's been done. I mean, there's the EXAM system, the biosensor, the NT-D, Invoke, hell, even Amuro's original gundam had a pretty spiffy leanring computer... though, it didn't really go anywhere with ti really... Ugh.
The lack of the mk2 gundam, jegan, the alex, literally the entirety of the thunderbolt designs, and ofc that mf high mobility zaku 2
Should be a crime
ZZ Gundam is also my favorite 😅
Hoping to see tallgeese and zaku II, maybe a the Turn A
So happy to see tallgeese
Rose Gundam and dragon Gundam has the best designs
I totally agree with this man
But how i wish there is a master grade version of the wing zeeo tv version. Proto Zero i great yes but it would be a more nostalgic feel and satisfaction if they would make that thing on plastic and throw in their own preference of sleekness.
I always thought the fin funnel sheild was something like a beam sheild instead of an i field
My favorite line of mobile suits have to be the Delta Gundam line and it's offshoots, in my opinion the best looking design lineage in Gundam, sleek and powerful design plus I think the ones that do transform have the best wave-rider modes.
Yes I know it's 11 with this the other 10 are interchangeable in how I like them.
The rest are in no particular order
Jesta/Jesta Cannon
Jegan and all its variants.
Gouf Custom
Zaku 1 Sniper
Ground Gundam / Ez-8
ReZel line
Dom line
Geara Doga/Geara Zulu
Bawoo
Byarlant especially the Custom
I know you dont like Sinanju but i still love it even its Char Cosplay....i love the design its more slick and menacing than Nu-Gundam and Sazabi....this make me change my relationship for likIng the gundams to non gundam MS....even Geara Zulu is a downgrade Doga i still love it
I also do costum color un Sinanju, turning Red to Navy Blue
I would also suggest the Gundam the Origins version MG It is in my opinion an improvement over the 3.0
Good list, but im curius to see your top Mobil Suits that arent gundams. like mass produced ones.
To get a master grade, Heavyarms Custom [EW] from P-Bandai is in itself an act of god. Amazon has a few but has jacked up the price way too high.
me everytime i hear the word "Tallgeese": It's a bird
you are right about forgetting other weapons on the crossbone x1 full cloth. the buster gun can figure mini rockets like a grenade launcher as well as mini nukes and the front skirt hooks the scissor anchors are perfect for the kratos impressions but yhe back skirts contaim the screw whip an extendable whip with a drill bit 9n the end. and how do you now talk about thw wicked face scars on and mouth vents look like fangs when opended to dispel heat.
GREEN BAWOO BEST MS
54:20 does anyone know where does this clip with both Wing Zeros and the X Gundam come from?
Edit: found it it's from 30th GUNDAM PERFECT MISSION
The kashatriya...?
You mean "THAT GOD DAMN QUAD-WING!"?
i plan to buy a grandpa gunpla 3.0 although i can only afford a knock off though. the gunpla prices are WAAAY too high right now.
That was kind of predictable. Very popular picks.
My favorites from each animated series:
Gouf
Gouf Custom
Palace Athene
Quinn Mantha
Phenex
Heavyarms
Forbidden
SF
Reborns
Zabanya
Legillis
Kimaris Vidar
Aerial
For unmentioned my pick is the late game titular suit. My personal favorites are Heavyarms Kai EW, SF and Unicorn
Cool list Micah.
My top 10 are these…
1. Nu/Hi-Nu Gundam
2. 00 Quanta Full Saber Gundam
3. Zeta Gundam
4. Xi Gundam (movie)
5. Wing Gundam (EW version)
6. Sazabi
7. Delta Plus
8. Gundam AERIal Rebuild
9. Banshee
10. ExS Gundam
Honorable Mentions:
OG Gundam, Strike Noir, Destiny Gundam, GNX 4, Gundam Astray Gold Frame Mina, Wing Zero and Tallgeese 3.
This list is a very mainstream list, was expecting some unique picks, but this literally just the MC and villain MS from the main UC era series (2000s and earlier) and G Wing- some of my favorite and unique choices would have been the Delta Kai, the Penelope/Xi Gundam, Moon Gundam, the Crossbone Gundams
Nah where's the Turn A?
I think you're the first to say the Gundam ZZ is one of your favorite shows of all time which in my opinion is the worst and not a typical Gundam show because when I see Gundam I think of the serious dark action military tone not a parody series😂 lol.
Seriously no gundam seed ms lol
5:50 H A M M E R
This might sound stupid to others but Gundam Xi looks good in my opinion (Giant Dorito)
Gundam Xi has by far the best silhouette out of all Gundams, to me at least
I do like the Gundam Xi design as well, even without the weapons, the Gundam itself looks amazing. It looks like a Kaiju, a monster that Zeon would fear
Please do a video essay on top ten knightmare frames from code geass😊😅🎉😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
what are your feelings on ibo?
I did an entire vid on it, actually. It's called "The Idiot Plot Done right." Feel free to check it out!
what is that suit at 48:30 and where is the clip from?
that is Amuro's customized Rick-Dijeh from Moon Gundam manga, the clip is from UC Engage mobile game
Quebeley doesn’t use bits. They use funnels.
Nu Gundam is designed to be compatible with him and his powers.
Wing Zero is designed to have pilot compatible with it and its powers.
Gouf custom on the honorable mention….BOOOOO 😂
My top 3 is probably lame compared to yours lmao
I can't put in words how much I despise Gundam wing 😩
I shall pray that at some point you gain taste.
@@BigMicahC never. There's only UC Gundam for me. The rest shall not exist 😌
@@bamhamerthat’s the first Gundam experience for a lot of people including myself and from design to story it’s a top tier Gundam show. If you haven’t given it a watch in a few years I’d really recommend going back and rewatching it, you might just have your mind changed watching it again with a new perspective brought on by a few years
@@chrischecketts8792 nah sorry. Only universal century Gundam for me. I'm into sci-fi but not into this fantasy stuff gundam wing introduced.
I understand the hesitation and I agree the U.C. is the best. I will say though that if you stay only in the U.C. then you will be missing some truly great Gundam series even if it isn’t as “Gundam” as the U.C. is like Iron Blooded Orphans, Wing and Turn A and After X all fantastic series that every Gundam fan should have the privilege of watching. U.C. is the OG and the best century but lots of good Gundam to explore when you’re feeling the itch for a new series to watch.
Get your audio together
The audio is fine on this one. Get better ears.
@@BigMicahC 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Obviously, you a WING Fan.
Pathetic.
Not my fault that Wing is better than the rest of the AU stories. Though G Gundam and IBO are right there. 00 is overrated and Seed sucks. So does WFM.
@@BigMicahC Wing is The Gundam Version of My Little Pony and Friends or The Care Bears.
It is your fault. Most probably, you are a Big Fan of Boy Bands.
Imagine a Gundam that has the image of an Angel(?).
Them Wing kits are some of the MOST Stupidly designed Mechas!
The Anime is for Retards!
I have more than 400 Kits and 160 of them are Master Grades.
I didn't even bother purchasing any of Them PATHETIC Wing Kits!!!!!!
........except for the Heavyarms. I have it in all existing versions😅
Pretty much sums it up. I find it not so weird that pretty impractical wings placed first here given that context
