The MS-09R Rick Dom (Thunderbolt Ver.) 

Actually there is a logical reason as to why the laser artillery is wield like a rifle instead of having its own targeting system and that has to due with Gundam Universe Minovsky particles which interfere with low frequency electromagnetic radiation such as radiowaves, microwaves, IR light. Furthermore, the Minoskvy particles also interfere and damage electric circuitry due to their high electrical charges, they act like a constant emp when in contact with metal objects. In order to defend against minovsky particles interference with electrical circuits, expensive and heavy shielding is required. Moreover, all mobile suits emit minovsky particles due to their Minovsky Ultracompact Fusion Reactors. Combine all of these together and targeting systems would be far too expensive and ineffective to be of any real use.

@@nobodyscomment929 Couldn't that be solved by just making the targetting computer a device wired to the cannon but not in direct contact with it? What is the effective range of these particles? Don't know diddly about Gundam so this kind've stuff and the in universe reasonings seem interesting. Like you could wire sensors to specific parts of the wreckage to specifically test for the emission of these particles which sends a wired response to the device; the question therin lies again how far out they scramble sensor equipment.

@@spacehitler4537 That would be an extremely expensive solution though as the wire(s) connecting the gun to the targeting system would also need to be insulated. Additionally, this is space we're talking about the particles could be scattered over hundreds of thousands kilometers due to fighting meaning you'd have to make a wire hundred of thousand kilometer long which is not only a resource dump but also potentially a weakness that can be exploited as it would only take one mobile suit to either cut or shoot the wire to severe the connection. Additionally, the targeting system would be effectively useless still as the particles will still interfere with any microwaves/radiowaves/IR light the targeting system maybe using to find targets.

Well. The gundam series is a documentary to show you why build a giant robot for war is bullshit.

​@@aidentan-diaz4828bro people who think they are "underdog" GM simps but like the sniper II are full of shit. It's a limited production high performance unit often given to aces. Real GM fans who actually appreciate GMs for being humble army builders tend to like mainline GMs and GM descendents like the Jegan. I'd honestly kill for a GM revive or an HGUC GM II that's accurate to Zeta's lineart instead of that shitty Unicorn redesign.

Yes. And instead of spending a lot on mass producing Gelgoog and giving them to rookies, they should've stick with Rick Dom and mobile armors as their main force.

@@gm2998 yeah the things compatible with zakus too so they can do a whole lot with it.

Actually, they've done research with young people and technology and found that the younger person is the faster they master new technology. So, not only would you want teens to be piloting robots, you'd probably want to put even younger kids in these machines. Kind of put Uso in new perspective.

The original show showed this too. It took Amuro a couple months to become competent in the Gundam.

@@nawf4372 that is not a correct one on one comparison scientifically. The correct comparison would be the difference between veteran soldiers and a newly recruited soldiers. There are things about being on a warzone that requires more than having intution with technology. A better comparison will be driving. Yea young people might operate the tech better. But navigating roads, understanding the quirks of your car, how to maximize usage of your car needs experience. You simply cant run from that. The only reason you throw young people onto battlefield is they need experiences anyway to be veterans.

@@lukelim5094 Yup, while the kids can adopt the new tech quickly, they still shoot while standing around like idiots.

Probably. But the fact that anyone can access it is problematic. There should be a special unlocking tool in possession of Federation crews.

real world commercial and military aircraft don’t have locks, which is why that guy was able to steal that Alaska airline plane a few years back. Probably the same concept was used for mobile suits.

@@michaelfawaz6483 Military vehicles do actually have latches that can (and are) locked down when in combat situations or just generally not in use for precisely this type of reason.

@@Chaotic_Jackal thanks had no idea I only knew aircraft didn’t have locks, and with a mobile suits sniping long distances the pilot probably didn’t think he would be shot with a service pistol

Both side are desperate. One is filling the machines with the living dead, the crippled ones, but all of these are battle hardened veterans. The other side tries to counter them with young ones with lightning fast reaction times... but with no battle experiences... If those younglings survive a few battles, they will grow to aces, the rulers of the battlefields.

@@bandiras2 So if I give a kid a gun and tell him to shoot at targets he’ll become a master assassin?

@@limcw6092 at the end of the day man if you pick up a gun or in this case pilot a mobile suit your now considered a soldier and a threat but its unfortunate we have this problem irl

Still, seeing GM's, essentially a mass produced gundam, or a Guncannon which is the bulkiest and most defensive WB Mobile Suit be destroyed by a single volley of bullets feels wrong.

The guy that would later pilot the High maneuver type Zaku actually use a Zaku 1 to snipe the gundam. He was actually quite close on taking out the gundam if a stray space lightning didn't intercept the shot.

@@KingOfYamimakai I'm not questioning the skill of the pilot here. I'm questioning why they need a mobile suit to use these big cannons in the first place. It looks like the guns are hooked up to an external power supply, not the mobile suit. The cannon should just be on a turret. I get that it's an anime and they want things to focus on the mobile suits. But Thunderbolt seems to try to expand on a lot of more practical ideas. Like the small grabbing arms that carry ammo or more debris out of the way. So are they trying to expand on the OYW or not. In some ways it seems like yes, but in other ways it just seems really strange to me. Like these cannons.

@@heavyarms55 I dunno I feel like it makes sense, but could be stretching it a bit. In OYW remote weapons are not a thing due to minovsky particle, so remote controlled turrents are not possible. If they are not operated by MS, someone would have to transport the turrent operator in and out everytime, risk exposing the turrent locations. They were supposed to be ambushing, so letting multiple MS to guard the turrent doesn't make sense. I think the damage of the big gun is on par with the ship cannons, judged from how the suit melt in one shot, but thunderbolt always make weapons more tech advanced than the era. For why don't they don't just use old Zaku I grunt suits on the turrent, I think suits in the Living Dead division are customized for their disabilities, may be the rick dom / zakus are just the pilot's assigned suit before. Also TB is pretty late in the OYW, the fact that they don't really have gelgoog etc sort of shows that they are not really the front line dudes.

Im guessing these gun placements are just stripped down versions of a ships main cannon for easy transport and set up a hardpoint the ms is probably there mainly for its targetting system and an easy out for the shooter

true when io opened the doms door and killed the pilot the rest of the squad saw that and they were reall quiet after that encounter

Erm how is he bad guy? He have a blood lust personality unlike most gundam pilot but he didnt do anything that makes him bad. He didnt kill children, kill innocent or anything. He just fought war but with a personality that is rare for gundam pilots.

Neither Io or Daryl are bad guys.

there isnt really a bad guy in gundam well gundam UC era to be exact . its just the gundams pilot in thunderbolt has ALOT more bloodlust than any other gundam pilot

Almost as funny as the "We're going to make it with the power of friendship" aura the kids gave off before being sent out. Io did try to warn them though 😂😂

@@KC_Smooth of course he did what the feds and zeons alike have done is practically a war crime they kmow the kids can only be good at one thing from ages 1 to 16, distraction.

To be fair, by this point in the war everyone’s probably heard of Amuro and his friends beating the odds with the power of friendship. Everyone just thinks they’ll be the next hero

@@slufffyg503 propaganda amiright

Probably closer to say the feds were keeping the living dead division contained in the thunderbolt sector, this is pretty late in the OYW so the battles of Solomon and A Baoa Qu are probably happening during the events of this, and letting these barely trained teens be sacrificed to ensure a hardened veteran division can’t reinforce Zeon for either battle would be important, essentially stacking the deck.

Well the kits released during the first season's airing were just recolours of previous released kits made to promote the manga. Thunderbolt didn't get any new kits until season 2's Atlas and Gundam Ground Type.

Simple answer? HG Thunderbolt never sold well. The designs were too expensive for most so non protaganist suits like the TB Zaku 1 and TB Ground S Type really suffered.

@@neonlightillusion Thunderbolt stuff IS pretty elaborate so i see what you mean. The Psycho Zaku had a parts count you'd se on an RG, particularly all those gold thrusters the MS is littered with.
