meanwhile a blue-haired kid customized his HG Strike Gunpla into a super robot with energy punch attacks along with his original Striker Pack designs and it is a riot.
I still find it funny that that same blue-haired kid has a Mother who shares the same voice as the captain of the ship that housed the actual strike gundam. And she's just as hot as the captain lol.
@@furiousoyster2166 I...know he was referring to that show. Hence I said BUILD Strike, the Strike variant from the show. Seed proper has no Strike variant named as such
@@granmastersword I think he's referring to the Build Burning Gundam, the model built by older-Sei. If you don't know what I'm referring to, you may not have seen it yet, it's debuted during a special moment towards the end of one of the series and I don't wanna spoil it.
It took until this video for me to finally realize that the Strike E (a design I'm not fond of) and the Strike Noir (a design I'm very fond of) are just the same MS recolored with a new Striker Pack. I may be stupid.
Strike Noir certainly makes me feel all warm and fuzzy for Gundam Breaker Mobile, that striker pack was so helpful in the magazine builds I made for the circuit races, while still looking cool.
@@Xeno-The-Wanderer Legit brought a tear to my eye when I saw the news that it was ending, because it was the first MMO-style thing that I enjoyed and actively played with other players. Sure loved pinning down that giant Strike with a 100-CD Anchor Shot build, while for the other events, I essentially ran a hybrid of healing and DPS
Strike Nior is my favorite version of the strike gundam, its design and weapons are very badass. Stargazer in general just has some of the best mobile suit designs of the cosmic era.
When 50 minutes of runtime beats 50 episodes of GSD. Don't get me wrong, Cosmic Era is my first exposure to Gundam but could've wished it was in the best hands, especially GSD. I like the Strike E face design. The Ootori pack on Rouge is a simplified IWSP yet still can deliver quite of a fight, something what the IWSP should've been. For some reason, I've got this feeling that the OG Strike still hasn't been used to its fullest potential. I could be wrong though.
@@Joshua_N-A I'm on the exact same boat, I enjoyed original seed although it has its flaws it is a very solid series and my first introduction to the franchise so I will always appreciate it for that. Destiny on the other hand I had so much problems with it, it was fine in its first half but took a nose dive in its second(to this day still one of the most hotly debated entries). Stargazer despite being very short I absolutely adore, some of the best imagry I ever seen in a gundam series(that incudes UC) makes me wish that if the cosmic era was like this it could have been so much on par with universal century.
Hey man this probably may not reach you but thank you for these series of videos. A relative of mine passed away recently and your videos help me cope with their loss. The strike is one of my favorite mobile suits next to the age and core and this releasing today helps distract from the pain. Keep up the amazing videos 👏
Ah the Strike Noir, my favorite gundam (alongside the Double X), easily the best variant of the Strike Gundam. The way it looks, the weapons, how it and how it performs with less defense but more speed and agility makes it such a badass machine!!! Great video!!!
Gale Strike is my favorite variation of strike, so far need to hunt it down On topic of Strike gundam is sounds like the logical options for a war machine since it could adapt on the battlefield and striker pack could extend Strike gundam operation time
@@Joshua_N-A TPS is more known. A 2 layer armor with an outet armor layer made from regular material, and inner PS armor. Only when the outer armor is breached will inner PS armor activatr
I never understood why they went with such a large caliber for the CIWS. If you're targeting armored units, you have plenty of options. But if you're targeting incoming fire or soft targets, a 20mm is more than enough. For that you want a wall of lead, not a small artillery piece. Though, there is an argument for proximity fuses, but not a very good one. As for the cable system of the Noir, something like that is a PITA for maintainers. Got to work a few MC-130E's in my career with the Fulton system. The amount of extra crap and maintenance just for a few (Read, too many) cables and winches is insane. The only time in my life I had to go into a wet fuel tank to track down a hydraulic leak.
I think because in its base form, it is the main ranged weapon of choice against non-PS armor. It needs to punch through GINN armor, when PS is down. Although, given that even Windam able to shred a GINN just using its Todesschrecken albeit at close-range, I think the designer over-estimate the need to shred a GINN just using its machine gun
Fun fact: Sven Cal Bayang's JP VA? *_Jotaro Kujo._* Alone, okay, but when you consider -Neo- *_DIO_* Roanoke... Also, _Agni Kai?_ Yep, watched enough _Avatar_ to know what that entails.
@21:05 🧐 Perhaps the reason for such design of Raigo Gundam Calibarn’s Schwert Gewehr Kai Anti Ship Sword- is that it can also function as an Anti Ship Boomerang/Sword, a feature that might have inspired the Infinite Justice’s Large Anti-Ship Beam Boomerang/Shield Sword *I do have the HG Strike Noir but it went into disrepair- hence the Repurposing✌️🤪 Of all the Strike Gundam- type MSs, Aside from Impulse, Akatsuki, and the Striker Pack compatible Astray Gundams’ Blue & Red Frame: Strike E and Strike Noir are my preferred Strikes aside from the 3 mentioned- for the Striker Packs- Perfect Strike, Strike Rouge OOTORI, Noir Striker, Lightning, & all IWSP Variants
You know, the Caliburn Raigo somehow had useful tech to install onto Orb's Compass-use MS, particularly in the Rising Freedom, as its Flash Edge G-3 has similar principles to the Mydas Messer Kai, a physical boomerang with beam emitters on the boomerang edges.
As they have covered the Strike, they should do the ZGMF-X56S Impulse. Its silhouette packs and general coloring make it clear to me that ZAFT created it based on the Strike.
I just bought Strike E IWSP Lukas's Custom and Strike Noir Master Grade on Amazon last night. Wake up in the morning I see this video in my notification box. What a strange coincidence. Lol
My favorite Strike variant would be the Strike E plus I.W.S.P simply because of its pilots and its design. Also can't wait for the final part of the Strike Development History.
The Strike Noir wasn't dark enough for me, so I painted mine in mostly black except for a few parts with glittering blue-green. And modified the feet so that they resemble Gundam Deathscythe EW's feet. And the back of those pointy parts on the feet can emit beam sabers.
Strike has always been my favourite especially the E line. The Ootori is a simplified IWSP yet could still deliver one helluva fight if used correctly. If only Mu got the Gunbarrel.
It would be an interesting What If? scenario for a video. What if Kira actually succeeded in killing Athrun in their climactic fight and the Archangel continued on to arrive in Alaska with Kira and a combat-viable Strike on board.
The interesting thing about the Gunbarrel Strike is that one of its first major appearances is in the SEED RPG/Visual Novel for the GBA. The Gunbarrel Striker that you can unlock for the Strike IS in fact Mwu's old Mobieus Zero retrofitted into a Striker Pack by Erica Simmons after the Battle of Orb versus being based on the Mobieus Zero. It's weirdly enough how the game, if you fulfill the secrets for the Gunbarrel Strike, side-steps the ending of SEED because Destiny hadn't aired yet since it implies that the Gunbarrel Striker can also detach and function independently (hence why most designs still include, for all extents and purposes, a complete Mobieus Zero.)
Will we ever get a development history on the Zeta Gundam? Also, i love how you can see bits and pieces of Zeta in the newer models. Specifically that chest armor
Yeah I have to agree the strike noir is a really cool gundam. It screams that 1 version of the strike that you take for espionage missions that are resulted in people getting killed but it looks so awesome. And meanwhile even more strike variations which man they really like to pump out the strike even in universe. Next you're gonna tell me that in an alternate universe we're gonna get some blue-haired kid who ends up making his own version of the strike and multiple versions of it......... I know build fighters exist lol. But great job with this third part Kararot and hopefully you'll get to do part 4 someday!
Out of Strike variant, I definitely like the Gale Strike best. Its just slick But, of all the Striker pack being introduced though….. I still love Perfect Striker. It just got everything in its backpack, and I do like carrying most contingencies on my backpack. I just need the base upgraded, and maybe make it so the connector for the Agni and Schwert be interchangeable with other weapons like Hyper Impulse Bazooka, or the railgun. Also will be great to swap the armor schenider, with the Shorty beam rifle too. …..yeah, I technically just make a worse IWSP, but I just really like the bulky aesthetic of the original Aile Striker alot. I should really try to get MG Strike IWSP at some point.
Can we eventually get an updated Development videos for the new variants from the movie, I would love to learn about all the new upgrades/MS from the movie
funny enough i also just finished a hg aile strike custom painted in macross vf1s rick hunter colors (white red black) with a beam bayonet rifle, gm sniper k9 pistol side skirts, mismatched eyes (glowing green, patch-like blue that glows similar to barbatos lupus), and custom strikers (flauros cannons + core gundam 2 wings + aile striker = my take on the iwsp: WiSP Striker, currently making a melee striker with rick dias boosters, leo-knee knuckles, and a buckler shield that can be used as a beam saw (I was so mad at agnes and another great knight suit piloted by a jerk / lousy person so im making my own shield saw)) i was also thinking about getting the hg blu duel and verde buster for customs in my SEED project too (ex. blu duel replace pistols with sword tonfas and astray blue frame 2nd revise style toe sabers, verde buster original gun/launcher setup + powered arms weapons on the shoulders instead) any custom ideas are highly recommended!
20:38 You're saying that, meanwhile Noir Striker's Fragarach 3 swords also have a hinge joint at the base of each sword. Smells like a double standard 🗿🗿🗿
Akatsuki Gundam. Pretty much my fav suit in the total series so far. Would really wish they would do a MG and down the road a PG. However have both the HG kits, the 1/100 NG, and the new Metal build on PBandai ordered Yup all in... and it really wasn't the golden paint job, the thing is legit the best variant of the Strike Gundam.
Ngl, while the Raigo's design ain't my cup of tea, I sure as hell wouldn't mind slapping its own version of the Striker packs on the actual Strike and Strike E and would be interested in its own "perfect" version. A shame bamco doesn't usually give the Strike E aside from the Noir any appearances on their PC games...
The Strike Noir (and in extension, the Astray Noir) is my favorite variant of the Strike ever... I hope you do a development history vid for the Calamity Gundam Family to celebrate the arrival of the Full Mechanics Sword Calamity Gundam (come to think of it... the 3 versions of the Calamity Gundam have similar, albeit improved versions of the first 3 Striker Packs).
So is Part 4 gonna cover the Build Strike and its MSV variants and upgraded forms and other Strike Gundam MSVs that appear in Gundam Build Fighter universe? You can't leave the Build Strike Gundam out of a video series all about the Strike Gundam.
ZAFT meanwhile: takes the appearance of the Strike they totally were able to record and makes a death machine that Kira steals in kind partly because they’re not allowed to have Strike units and partly for Episode 1.
Given how pervasive batter endurance was as a problem, even for dedicated artillery Gundams like the Buster Verde, the Sumbullet deciding to replace a rotary cannon with a plasma weapon feels like a mistake. Oh sure, it probably hits harder, but it's going to take a lot more juice. More missiles was a good call though, as they just need a small amount of current to launch, at which point they're running on their own power and propellant.
Honestly the concept of the Strike really could have been the end all of mobile suits. You have a core machine that you can equip a huge variety of equipment to to fit virtually any mission profile. Future development would be just making that one thing better. Likely on improving the batteries for higher capacity and just streamlining and improving the base machine as technology improves. You've have to have a very good reason not to just use a Strike and the specific equipment that fits the mission. What kind of mobile suit mission role could the Strike NOT perform? Whatever that answer is, is the only mission type you'd want a different mobile suit for.
Could you do the 2nd bloody Valentine war in Seed Destiny overall next please? = post 1st war's events all over and what happened during the pre-events on Earth, at Orb and in space at the plants that led to the second war... the 2nd war all throughout in events... and what other new mobile armours, suits and weapons that were developed post 1st war till the end of the second on all sides? = even if its an hour long vid or several parts? And maybe even another top 10 or 20 reasons vid of why the Earth Alliance in Cosmic era obviously lost both wars pretty much in Seed & Seed Destiny to the Plants & ZAFT compared to universal century between the Federation & Zeon? And perhaps top 10 reasons on how the Federation in Universal century could've lost the war to Zeon? = What could Zeon have done differently in top 10 or 20 ways to win the one year war against the Federation? Your thoughts in research & mind? 🤞🙏
Personnaly, I prefer the Akatsuki, but the Strike Noir comes in second place for the Strike variants. But I always prefered non standard Gundams and MS, like the Buster and Blitz.
the impulse gundam seems to be have designed off the strikes design. or at least taken inspiration from the strike. wish you added some commentary about the impulse. impulse gundam review next 😊
