Providence Gundam Development History 

There's something that has always bugged me. Why did ZAFT make Gundams? It doesn't help that the Legilis isn't such a blatant knock off of the enemy. It bugs me now. And it always bugged me. Was this Patrick Zala's idea of a flex or something?

I just finished kit bashing an MG Zaku Providence. Now I gotta paint it all up

Personally I’d love to see more of the providence zaku While the Legend’s wings are cool, nothing tops the bad-guy aura of the providence

The aegis and athrun almost killed kira too

@@madchatter4032but nowhere near his full potential, as the Strike was much weaker in every way than the Freedom, as could be seen during the episode where Kira got the Strike Freedom

Shinn in the impulse?

@@borgar1765 without getting too defensive, hadn’t Kira just fought for hours at this time ? But yeah it works

It's the Zeong as a Gundam.

@@TheIntratec9 And to me the Legend is the CE equivalent of the Sazabi.

@@chrisphelps4552 Does that mean the Black Knight *SPOILER* is the Sinanju?

the box art for MG providence 2.0 looks so damn good

​@@TheIntratec9 I always thought that was the psycho gundam

Meanwhile the legend got destroyed without even damaging the freedom 💀

​@@anti4107in Rey's defense, he came very, very close to enabling a killing shot from Destiny's beam cannon during Operation Fury. Only the intervention of a wounded Athrun in the Infinite Justice saved Kira, which I am entirely prepared to call complete bullshit.

Both the pilot and MS were so hilariously insane that they became legit cool.

Kira learn talk no jutsu from Rau btw

Yes, that was sad and silly. If only Rey was immune to talk no jutsu. Legend Gundam spec-wise can match Strike Freedom. It is just the pilot that was too potato. Like..... why don't the story writer make Rey enter SEED mode and fight Strike Freedom/Kira to death, just like "Freedom+Meteor Unit vs Providence Gundam"?

It has 1 but it definitely needs a update to it

An updated meteor unit with your choice of strike freedom or infinite justice gundams?

I have to agree, I remember when I was in Think Geek all those years ago, and I bought mine. It was the box art that sold me. I didn’t even watch Seed yet.

He reminds me of Madara lol. Rau can solo half of EA's fleet.

Danazine Development History too

Don't forget how Seed Destiny ruined the coolness factor of the Dragoon System by not only giving it to so many mobile suits, but also inventing an "Easy mode" that allows non-Newtypes to control them...

@@ultraspinalki11 I mean they did the same with Funnels in UC lol

@@sidiouswargaming3971 In the UC, the spread of funnel weapons felt more gradual over the course of multiple series. Zeta and Double Zeta for instance only had the Quebeleys and Quinn Mantha with Funnels if I recall. Finally, Char's Counter Attack gave Funnels to Amuro, Char and his closest soldiers. Meanwhile Seed had Providence. But then BAM, Destiny gave Dragoons to Chaos Gundam, Akatsuki, Destroy Gundam, Legend Gundam, Strike Freedom. All in a single series.

@@ultraspinalki11 true enough, Im not implying ce did it better lol

I always felt it implied that the 3 nuclear suits from seed were never really surpassed until the strike freedom and infinite justice. I actually just finished re-watching seed and i completely forgot Providence also dusted Buster gundam while fighting freedom in the meteor along with orbs force of astrays. Rau was a menace in Providence.

Most likely he typed in wrongly.

I honestly don't see the resemblance to the original Gundam. If anything, the Duel Gundam seems closer to RX-78-2, especially with its role as the first Gundam built in the SEED universe.

@@ultraspinalki11 Tbh, the Duel is based on the Prototype Gundam or it's its UC counterpart. Strike Gundam is the CE version of the RX-78-2 Gundam's counterpart. This is why the Strike and the Duel are so much alike and could hypothetically use each other's backpacks and weapons. The Duel Gundam, if you didnt know your history or background of it, was the basis of which all the other 4 Gundams were based on in the G Project by the Alliance in Gundam Seed. This is why the Duel is more closely related to the Prototype Gundam aka RX-78-1 Gundam than the RX-78-2. In alot of ways, the Strike Noir Gundam could be seen as the G-3 Gundam's counterpart as it is the 3rd one of its kind in the first generation G Series and the last of its kind other than the Strike Rouge. Strike Rouge doesnt count due to the fact that in all tense and purposes, the Strike Rouge is just another X105 Strike Gundam unit. Unlike the Strike Noir and the Duel. This is seen in the episode of GSD when Kira retrieved the Strike Freedom from the Eternal when he piloted the Strike Rouge. The Strike Rouge, while Kira was in the pilot seat, changed its colors from pink and red to red, white, and blue like his X105 Strike from GS. This is due to the fact that ORB built another Strike Gundam (became the Strike Rouge) from the data they gathered during their first visit, in GS, and when they recovered the wreckage of the Strike after Kira and Athrun's battle and repaired it. The Strike Noir's colors are a call back to the Prototype Gundam but like the G-3, it is a vastly upgraded variant of the Strike Gundam with different backpacks and slightly different head and body appearances as well as a stronger version of the Phase Shift Armor that serves as an in-between for the original Phase Shift Armor and the Variable Phase Shift Armor used by the 2nd and 3rd Generation Gundams such as the Freedom, Providence, Legend, and Calamity Gundams. Sorry for goin on and on. I just got carried away >.

Nice choice they are Sick Gundams

@@TheAnimeSentai I find the Legend’s design a bit more generic, but it’s still one that I’m quite fond of

I love my Gundam Seed Mobile Suits

@@gaiisanwic286 yeah doesn't stand out like providence but still has epic features

​@@megagundamva2694sick gundams for sick pilots eh?

Duo Maxwell in the Providence. For Naruto fans, this is Iruka-sensei gone way the hell off the deep end.

I mean, most suits are going to have some limitations, even the protag suit can at times be limited in certain ways. Consider Barbatos' lack of long range as it got fine tuned and modified for Mikazuku. So having a few tradeoffs can be nice, and quite frankly, that's what other units are supposed to be there for. Screening for beam spam or providing fire support for the CQC suit. And if they don't have backup, yet you manage to honestly close to short range in spite of all that fire, you've earned that kill.

Love how Char is split: Kira: Casval (has a long lost sister) Athrun: Red Baron and rival Rau: Masked man

@@Joshua_N-A MWU: Char's son Gilbert: Literally Voiced by Char VA Too much Char C.E. seriously need it's own Amuro equivalent.

I don't know, I found some of the montage fight suits from the start of episode 2 to have a utilitarian appeal.

"Nerf this!" -Random ZAFT pilot cosplaying as D.Va, probably

see now Im curious ... has someone done that conversion yet @@DashsChannel

To be fair, Ray was fodder, let's get real lol He was just a more competent Lunamaria but still on the same level in terms of skill.

@@sidiouswargaming3971 True, but it still breaks my heart that such a beauty of a machine was wasted.

​@Tokumastu1 If anything, it might have perfectly reflected how the Amuro/Char rivalry ultimately ended with such a close match-up with Gundam/Zeong and Freedom/Providence, but practically a curbstomp in the hero's favor with Nu/Sazabi and S.Freedom/Legend. Still doesn't change how rather disappointing that fight ended in the latter series.

There is a reason athrun was chosen to pilot it Rey was just all they had left

Imagine Rau with Legend 😂😂. SF and Kira would’ve been in the fight of it’s life.

Has Bandai ever release a kit for Regenerate?

​@@Joshua_N-Ano

Oh yes, Regenerate. Imagine had they made a Master Grade kit of it. Builders be looking for an big empty space lol.
