Only in Warhammer and Gundam and a sixty millimeter autocannon be described as "anti-infantry"

Fun Fact, Char uploaded the instructionsof how to make psychoframe on Skillshare and Amuro learned it and made the Nu Gundam

Still will never forget the scene of the flying Guntank in space from the original series lmao

Zeon: Your souls are weighted down by Gravity! Rtx-440: *Jumps a Zaku*

The Guntank is one of my favorite mobile suit designs from the original show, because it SCREAMS 'designed by committee' in a really realistic way. If you tried to pitch a mobile suit to a real-world military equipment manufacturer (and, you know, mobile suits actually looked like they cluld be the future), the Guntank is exactly what you'd get at the end after months of cost-cutting and consultation with military leaders who don't understand.

Mechs in lore: used in war Mechs in real life: used to flip everyone off

In "Advent of the Red Comet", the Char Aznable Origin series, the Guntanku already existed when He was a fucking Child. Good ol' Spongy Timeline.

We still need our GM development history. We need to give those boys some more love

You know, some magnetic treads and grapple anchors could have made it a nasty asteroid and Colony defender. Like when Anakin had a bunch of AT-TE's in an asteroid field shooting a warship from behind.

The Loto is honestly one of my favorite designs to come out of Unicorn. Also I feel the Guntank 2 get a lot of flak but you need to remember that it was a late OYW unit that continued to see action for 17 years after its introduction, so it must have been a great Artillery/ Support unit that just got the Leo treatment whenever the cameras were on it.

The Feds already had RTX before Nvidia ever designed one

The arms of the Guntank should've been able to move so it could target on either side to compensate for the non-rotating body; it could've helped the development team save SOME face upon presentation time.

It always bothered me that the Guntanks' main weapon was the same caliber as the Zaku machine gun. The difference in firepower seems staggering.

Mass production guntank does not have bop missile launchers. It is shown in 08th ms team that they have machine guns in the arms.

Anaheim Electronics: "Time to Pimp your Guntank Bruh!"

The guntank II is an excellent unit in Gihren's greed, with the odd quirk that its classified as a vehicle and not a mobile suit (unlike all the other guntank models), which allows it to be piloted by admirals and ship captains, who are otherwise incapable of being assigned to mobile suits. In case of the Federation, this is particularly handy due to the large amount of admirals&captains the Feds start with, and since spaceships are expensive, they might end up sitting on the reserve bench otherwise. I'm sure the admirals are thrilled at the prospect of doing frontline grunt work.

GUN TANK BABY!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOO ITS A GUN A TANK!

This is 2 years old but I'm watching it now as Gundam Evolution is out and my favorite Gundam is Guntank

6:30 "Power levels are bullsh*t!" Seriously though, I really have to know who the heck comes up with the stat sheets for these things and whether or not they have even the slightest clue how utterly absurd they are.

Here before the title gets changed

I remember seeing an unnamed variant of the Guntank in a manga of the original series. It showed up in a single panel during an attack on a federation base. It was shown from a three quarters rear view and I only say it was a variant was because instead of the usual arms it what appeared to be a pair of twin massive cannons (possibly autocannons) in their place one barrel over the other but looked like a standard RX-75 in all other respects. It was operating in an AA role blasting at the Zeon Gaws. Wish I could be more helpful.

Skillshare transition is so smooth :v

The Guntank wasn't so much an "operational mobile suit" as a testbed for the arm controls they wanted to use in the actual mobile suits as well as the powerplant and anti-MS armaments.

Oh my sweet Guntank, you deserved so much better than what you got in the original anime.

WHEN WILL WE GET A MASS-PRODUCTION GUNTANK KIT?!

The Assault Guntank and Guntank II are 2 of my main units in GBO2 I just really enjoy them

From an artillery standpoint I think the guntank did its job far better than any cannon suits like the zaku cannon, guncannon and gm cannons. Should keep these updated for artillery support and defensive positions. Well past the one year war.

Kakarot, you silly man, there's no way the Feddies could have gotten access to skillshare, because of Minovsky particle interference. What is wrong with you? Of course I'm kidding, love your work.

I like how it basically just evolves into a really over-tall, shitty tank. But hey, Rule of Cool.

You're the only nigga in the gundam youtube community to pump out the knowledge of mobile suit facts. trivia, and ascertained chronicles. Thank you Mr. President

ooh, Guntank. ...which is funny, because I just finished screwing around with ideas regarding artillery

Some of the Guntanks deserve love and a successor units like that of the GMs, Guncannon and Balls.

God, I love that MS IGLOO episode of the Ground Assault Type Guntank... I really wish Bandai would make a kit out of that one...

I'm still waiting for that promised EXS-Gundam Alice System video.

Honestly thank you kakarot for the video. I honestly to god needed this

Guntank: wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Guntank walked so later mobile suits could run.

Can we get a Gelgoog development history?

Oooooooh. That transition to the sponser. Loved it. Keep up the great content!!

"Guntank" -Guntank

It's been a hot minute since I've watched one of your vids - good to see you're getting sponsored! Love the content!

more vids like this! love seeing development of different mobile suit over the timeline.

Always look forward to these vids

Great vid Kakarot! Very interesting info on the Guntank.

I really enjoyed the your video. All of them are really amazing

Love how you explained this lores pls do more

That was a great and seamless transition into the Skillshare bit. I could hear your grin from here xD

Isn't there an armored personnel carrier style guntank in thunderbolt?

You forgot to reference Zeon's take on the guntank, aka the Hildolfr.

always love this types of videos

does the guntank early type from gundam origin not related to guntank of operation V? also, i think theres a guntank II used in gundam thunderbolt season2.

Another great video!

Tanks a million for setting up the Guntank Development history video. No pun intended.

Now I know the gun tank may have had some variations like it's 2 brothers but wow a good chunk of those variations were actually pretty good including the last one were not only did it take the advantage of it being mobile but also a really good powerhouse. Now I know and once again another solid video!

Quien sube videos a media noche? Kakarot: Media Noche, perfecto! PD: Solo fue una broma se que hay diferencia horaria/Just a joke, i know there is timezone diference

Guntank is my favorite mobile suit that isn't a Gundam. It's so stupid looking in an adorable way

Guntanks are probably the only thing we could build and use in real life.

Me. finding out Guntank is not super powerful and was in-fact, kind of ass: "Guntank WOOoooo?"

That advertisment transition was amazing. I almost spit my coffee

I'm kind of surprises that all of the units of the guntank but cool video looking forward for the next one and have you did one for the GM evolution line ?

Im gonna build one of these in armored core 3 Love the gutank

Hell yeah the guntank finally sees the glorious light of kakarot197's intricate researching ability

Smooth work in on the sponsor. The mighty guntank - an actual plausible real world design

The Loto has gotta be one of my favorite designs from Unicorn.

Dude I’m obsessed with Gundam. Thanks for the info

all EFF engineers just lowkey stolen information from Zeon engineers on skillshare lol

Which serie were the footages taken from? The footage in the beginning that looked like a remastered version of the original Mobile Suit Gundam

If it was made after the battle of loum where did the early type guntank in the origin came from?

Me using the Wheelchair Build in Armoured Core Rubicon: "See that, they are mimic an fraction of our power."

I really like the design and utility of the Loto. It's so cool :)

Deeply off topic but I always thought a "Wasp" form Mech would be super effective, since they already fly, fight and have an exo-skeleton.

Finally new history video

This past month, I created two of these tank tread gunplay kits. The Revive Guntank (with detailed painting in the cockpit), and the Lotos which are such a fun twin pack.

It always struck me as funny that the Guntank Mass-production type looks like it belongs on the "after" side of a "before and after" photo

Think you kakarot for adding the loto😂

Great vid. Can u do the mobile suits from the after colony gundams on the next video?

You heard the sensation sweeping the nation, bitches love cannons. Great video, hope you do the guncannon next.

that skillshare ad segue was so natural

Bless those transitions lol

Huh. Berge, cranes... Kinda like an NM130 bergepanser? For reference, back in the 60s the Norwegian military decided that the M24 Chaffee tanks they had received from the US after WW2 were starting to become underpowered, so they decided to upgrade the M24. This resulted in the NM116 light tank recognizable by its 90mm gun, laser rangefinder and smoke dispensers, and more relevant the NM130 Bergepanser, which gets its name from what it's built to do, tow and rescue stranded vehicles in rough terrain.

still maintaining smooth transition into sponsored content in a video with nearly unrelated topic of the sponsor itself what a pro gamer move

From what I've read,a guntank is missing In Gundam Last Sun,I think there was a guntank variant,along with a jegan version of the Guncannon,and a more Zeta/ZZ inspired Gundam RX 78,called the Gundam G 4th I saw it on the wiki

Thank you for covering Job John's mobile suit.

Okay that Skillshare segue broke me. That was 10 outta 10 outta 10.

More random German: The Berge Guntank is possibly a reference to the Berge Panzers. In the 1930s through the 1940s German tanking schools would remove the turret assembly and hull roof panels of driver's training tanks. The removal of the top half of the tank allowed young drivers a more complete view of what the vehicle was doing while they developed the spatial awareness that would be necessary to operate while not being able to see 90% of their vehicle. German soldiers nicknamed these tanks berge Panzers meaning Bathtub Tanks. (Either because they look like bathtubs or because without a roof they would fill up with water every time it rained) Though initially modified purely for the intention of driver's training, later in the war as supplies ran thin, Berge Panzers would be repurposed and see service in non-combat roles. Such as engineer vehicles or armored all-terrain taxis. One such Berge Panzer, a Pz. V Panther, while serving with a tank destroyer company would eventually be retrofitted with the gun and turret assembly of a Panzer 4/H. Thus becoming the unique and infamous Panzer V/IV.

I love this tank one of my favorite ms next to the Gundam heavyarms and buster Gundam and hyku shiki

Guntank was one of my favorite mobile suits in Federation vs Zeon for the PS2. Low cost, high damage output, and it really chunked the Big Zam's health.

I remember a line in Journey to Jaburo, during the Belfast level, that indicates that the Guntank needed two pilots to operate effectively until it was upgraded.

Nice video

Wow very subtle plug u got there

I remember piloting Mazda RX-78 Spirit Type R in my dreams...

That Skill Share plug at the start was smooth. Really smooth. Like chocolatey smooth.

Guntank WOOOOOO

Gundam evolution send me here and he's going to be season 1 ( alongside another zeku 2 ( with a melee loadout) as well as pretty much unicorn)

guntank dev hist full

The local defense type is a shout out to the original guntank concept art.one of the earliest piece of concept art for the Fontana had the cannons attached at the waist.

Guntank Powered Weapons Type Designer 1: Which weapons should we use? Designer 2: Yes.

please do more i like the development history series

Armoured core tank builds be like:
