@RavensEagle 4 года назад

Very great video, I honestly expected you to talk about the Minovsky reactor more, and how it disrupts any low frequency wavelengths. And makes any unprotected com devices useless. And how it changed combat to close combat weaponry as even smart missiles were useless because it wouldn't be feasible to protect the unboard computer that guides it even when seperated from any low frequency guiding. Basically a fusion reactor that naturally creates an ecm, Electronic Counter Measures, field for kilometres/miles depending on output. Maybe an idea for another follow up video.

@magosleibowitz9626 4 года назад

For someone new to Gundam it looks intimidating due to the stupid number of series there's been over the years (started in 1979). But if you want a good place to get a feel for the universe I'd recommend either Gundam the Origin(prequel to the og 1979 series), Gundam Thunderbolt(gritty war drama), or 8th MS Team(Nam' with mechs). All of them are good standalone stories that don't really require previous knowledge, and have English dubs.

I consider the Kampfer to be a grunt suit in technicality.

I tend to seperate my favorite MS units into Super units, and Grunt units. Sazabi falls under Super unit, and Kampfer falls under Grunt suit. but, again, is just my opinion on the Kampfer. it could very well be a Super unit in it's own way.

@DanielHernandez-uo8si 4 года назад

Barry Bend The High Mobility Test Type was only seen in Gundam 8th MS Team and it shared similar colors as the black tri stars but was not used by any member of the black tri Star Unit. MS-06R-1s were the units mobile suit during the battle of loum. The biggest difference between the two suits is the feet. Test Type used Dom like leg units. If you don’t follow Gundam the origin logic then go to gunpla and look at the Zaku II High mobility type (original one) for black tri stars. That’s not a test type nor does it say test type.

@MaxHDAvenger 4 года назад

Considering the Zaku in 08th MS Team had dom like legs, most likely to test out the data and design for the later Rick Dom which is a Dom replaced its nuclear jets (earth) for rockets in space

This is my jam, definitely do more Gundam videos. Overall this one was well executed but I had some minor nitpicks. You omitted mentioning the pinnacle of Zaku 2 models, the MS-06R-1A High Mobility Type. These things could keep up with the more advanced Gelgoogs at the end of the OYW and were preferred by the Aces alive at that point in the original continuity. In Origin, the footage you're using of the Black Tri-Stars during Loum are R-1As. You also used footage of a Gouf flight type to illustrate the atmospheric example, as Ramba Ral would say "this is no Zaku, boy! No Zaku!"

Also got a really nice orange "gem" for the mono eye that was supposed to be like a traffic signal for a train set, idk. Did that one up with some decent paint, all the waterslides, etc. I'm no GBC competitor but that probably had the most effort put into it of many of my kits. A few years later I picked up the old Gelgoog Jaeger hguc kit and painted it in Shin's white/grey colors as well as used some of the leftover waterslides. Fast forward ten years and PBandai released the official Shin Gelgoog Jaeger as well as Ridden's Gelgoog. Picked up both of those. They're both currently in my backlog pile abyss. I also remember one of these mall stores in the early 00s having a bunch of MGs that we didn't have in the states yet. One of them was the 1.0 Ridden Gelgoog. I was like who is this guy?

@thedecisiveraindrop4868 4 года назад

While it makes sense lore wise to start with the mobileworker, franchise-wise it makes sense that he chose one of the most prominent suits of Gundam, second only to the titular Gundam itself. People who are not familiar with Gundam would probably appreciate this video more than that of a mobileworker that only appeared once. Since this was MetaNerd’s first video on Gundam, I think he made a good choice choosing something more iconic. Also, I actually applied for the writing role and ended up not following through because life got hectic all of a sudden. I am doing work for other you tubers though so that’s nice.

I have to agree with DecisiveRaindrop. The Zaku is the first mobile suit to show up in the franchise and in terms of icon status, it's like the Tie Fighter of the Gundam universe.

@kimbertactpro9 4 года назад

Star Born Michael Hall mobile suits have speed, agility and the ability to fight at both long and close range at the same time. I want to say star wars would be good on the ground but bad in air or space. A mobile suit can close a distance pretty quickly in space and avoid point defenses if the pilot is good and the mobile suit is good. If you have a newtype, the equivalent to a jedi, and a gundam, then space fights are one sided.

@kerosoldier 4 года назад

@@kimbertactpro9 I doubt star wars would fair better on the ground. Take a battle of krayt for instance. The F.O. lined up all of their walkers in a single line. A single mobile suit could just come in a kick one over and the others would literally fall like dominos. Beam weapons also would penetrate the durasteel armor rather easily. So no, star wars would fare poorly against mobile suits. In space they'd be even better. Mobile suits are routinely shown to outfly point defense weapons and can turn faster than fighters.

@TheRyujinLP 4 года назад

@@kerosoldier Yeah, they would be a game changer for sure but not quiet as much given that they would do diddly squat against Star Wars capitol ships, they are on a whole other level above the warships in Gundam (but to be fair, the ships in Gundam are far more realistic). Also not sure how much better Universal Century beam weapons would be against Star Wars tech. Beam weapons in Gundam are pretty new tech and behave more like how real first gen particle beam teach would while blasters in Star Wars are a robust and developed tech and are quite powerful for there size. Han's blaster pistol was blowing fist sized chunks out of the walls of the space port he was in (yes it was rigged to fire more powerful shots but it still goes to show what just a handgun sized weapon can do) and medium turbo lasers on a star destroyer can can flash melt an 90 meter wide asteroid which would put them at the low end of around 5 kilotons per shot (assuming mostly rock) to fatman level if they're nickle-iron. Given the size difference, heavy turbo lasers would be in the 5 to 20 megaton range!

@@TheRyujinLP the gramp's Gundam rifle can blow away a musai in one shot. The twin buster rifle itself would annihilate anything and it has a massive range.

These particles disrupts long range detection and tracking and communication, greatly reducing the effectiveness of radar and infra-red long range detection (radar was reduced by to WW2 range and capabilities) . This reverts the way of war back to near line-of-sight combat, was is why mobile suit were created. As they offered more mobility, armor, and firepower that of the jet fighters. It is these 2 elements that made the Zeon forces unstoppable in the beginning of the One-Year War.

@JosephJoboLicayan 4 года назад

Well done, the research done into this is quite substantial and many of them you wont find in the wiki (Im an editor at Gundam Wiki). Im quite impressed by your first video of a new IP, MetaNerdz, keep the Gundam train going! Some of the things you didnt cover over was the company that made (most of) them which is Zeonic. Also, the MS-06 line is specifically the Zaku 2 because the Zaku 1 is the MS-05. However, the Zaku 2 is so famous that when one says Zaku, it refers to the MS-06. A few of the more famous variants you didnt cover were the High Mobility types, there are quite alot but the ones everyone knows is the R and the R2 (distinguishable by their legs) which are exclusively piloted by aces, one of which is Shin Matsunaga and Johnny Ridden. Also, many Zeon MS technologies were tested on the MS-06 platform, the biggest expression of this would be the Psycommu Zaku piloted by a Newtype test pilot. Some interesting, but impirtant things to always remember in the UC timeline is thay canonicity is in this order of importance, from greatest to least: Movies>Series>OVA>Manga/MSV/Novel>Games The MSG trilogy movie is higher canon over the original televised series. This matters because of designs like the Core Booster where its a different design for both, but in this case, the aerodynamic looking one is higher canon. Gundam Thunderbolt is an alternate parallel timeline of mainline UC, nothing in there is canon. Gundam the Origin is basically a new canon that is still being carved out, to relate to Star Wars, The Origin is like Canon while everything outside of it but within the premise of the One Year War would be considered Legends, but usually only applies when there are points in the timeline that are inconsistent. Here are some pronounciation guides (Im not a grammarnazi, dont worry): Char - shar, same as shot Ridden - ride-den, the word 'ride', then 'den' Minovsky - mee-novs-ski, same as you would pronounce Tomino just without the To- and add -ovsky

@androyus 4 года назад

Dude, in UC, you can't put all the movies in a canon-pedestal above all else. If you do, that makes Zeta New Translation trilogy more Canon than TV series. That's just silly. The TV series is the greater canon for UC.

@JosephJoboLicayan 4 года назад

@@androyus TLDR the example you cited is invalid for your argument because its not even in any way canon because its an alternate telling of Zeta marketed as a bridge to CCA for new and non Gundam fans. I established that canonicity order as a sort of guide and not an absolute rule due to how japanese dont view canonicity the same way as westerners would, theyre not as stringent on not following established lore. The Movies are usually the higher canon, case and point, MSG Unicorn. The Anime has canonicity over the Novels sinply because it is the Anime. Moreover, evidence for higher movie canonicity is in the design of the Core Booster/G-fighter (0079 trilogy and 0079 series, respectively), both have exact same roles in story & plot but in later lore we see that the Core Booster design is consistently used, like in 08th MS Team. The New Translation was SPECIFICALLY a rewrite from the beginning and also when it was announced due to it being meant as a way for a wide audience (specifically new and non Gundam fans) to bridge the 0079 Trilogy with CCA, skipping ZZ. Nobody should consider New Translation as UC-canon. Same for Gundam Thunderbolt, which is another parallel timeline to UC where many elements are similar but was not specifically far from original UC canon but then it went and kept doing its own thing.

@androyus 4 года назад

@@JosephJoboLicayan My point is: since Gundam is Japanese work, we also need to view & understand them like the Japanese do. If they're lenient on canonicity then we should too. Also, Unicorn is an OVA series like Gundam 0083 & Origin. Not technically movies.

5:14 "Charge the nearest GM and take their weapon." That's literally not possible. The GMs used beam weapons, and the Zaku II's reactor isn't powerful enough to use them.

@arx3516 4 года назад

The GM was better under all aspects, true, but Zaku II pilots were usually more experienced.

@secondsein7749 4 года назад

While using the Zaku taking the GM weapon is innacurate, it's just to show the versatility of mechas being able to equip themselves much readily in battle compare to fighter forms that couldn't do so. Of course, later on both sides would be wise to this and put safety measures such as weapon lock, but the very least, one MS can take the downed MS from his side without problem.

@ReleaseHeavyLobster 4 года назад

the original MSG is a good place to start but it could be alot shorter. they made all 50 episodes into about 3 movies that might be easier to digest. if you want something more modern and standalone, i would recommend Gundam Double Zero (00)

@magosleibowitz9626 4 года назад

If the original 1979 series is a bit too old for your tastes, I would recommend either Gundam the Origin, which is basically a retelling of the original series from an antagonist's perspective, 8th MS Team, which is basically Nam' with mechs, or Thunderbolt which is a gritty war drama.

@midshipman8654 4 года назад

Sweet, nice gundam stuff. An interesting thing you could get into is the justification for a lot of the technical stuff in gundam, which is rather thought out. How the minovski particles disturb electomagnetic waves making closer (as in within visual range, instead of lightseconds away) as well as the design of the O’Neal style colony.
