Zaku II Development History (Commander Units) 

Really love the vid never knew there where that many zaku variety and costumes too ❤️ can you do the Dom units next time ??

Jurij is how you would spell it in Slavic languages. No idea about the last name.

Zaku Development playlist please

@@primusvsunicron1 Playlist of 4 videos?

"Okuranto Repusu" => "Oakland Reps" ? or "Lepus" traduced as a hare.

They better have zero gravity around, otherwise it would be hard af to pull him out

You have to ask yourself, are you really helping, or are you just buttering the Dozle.

Either that or get him out by a Slim Margarine ​@@olinseats4003

tell me about it, im a tall guy, but i think i'd look like Ed Elric next to that guy................... dont tell Ed i said that

@@ellnats Everyone knows Edward has a sixth sense for his…one flaw.

@@MasterArchfiend guess i have a little problem then.......... oops

Dude eats steroids instead of breast milk when he was a baby.

That's surprisingly _Prussian_ in getting as close to the frontline as possible and command from there (a legacy from earlier conflicts). One example of this tendency is Erwin "The Desert Fox" Rommel who ran around the front lines asking officers and soldiers for facts on the ground.

@@TheTrueAdept All things being equal, that really is a good way to command. But as the scale, complexity, speed and lethality of warfare increased, it's just not efficient enough anymore. Thank god Dozle had Minovsky particles to roll a lot of those factors back to pre-WWI levels.

Dozle Zabi always seemed like he would be a good person to be around. He refused to lead from behind a desk, he valued the lives of his men in battle, he fought for his family, like his daughter Mineva.

see the best place to observe your own troops is from the enemies position ...... that way you can observe their forward movement with no obstructions

I see what you did there

Hmm..... Seed Destiny did expand on that....

i get what you are saying but as someone who has used many kinds of industrial equipment and been diving for over 2 decades i have to say it really does not matter what hand you are dominant with as you are required to use more than one hand and in most cases both feet i know this first hand as i am right hand dominant and because i live in the usa with the steering wheel on the left hand side you have to shift with your right hand meaning you have your left to steer so i have gotten used to just steering with my left hand so much that it does not feel natural to do it with my right hand and with dozle it makes sense that they had to modify the cockpit irl you can be too tall to fly fighter jets space is at a premium in anything that flies

@@paktahn While it is true that you can do some things better with the hand that isn't your dominant one, that usually requires a lot of training and practice with it being easier for some than others. I am almost 30 and I still struggle to clip my nails using my right hand so I end up using a nail file just to get it as presentable as when I use my left. Some things just click better for others and it nice that they had a work around. I remember hearing that about jet pilots, but for some reason it just didn't come to mind when it came to something like a mobile suit.

I mean it kinda makes no sense? You’re using both hands anyway to pilot it, if anything maybe mirroring the cockpit would make more sense if even that, making a specially left handed machine means they now have to specially make left handed weapons for just that one unit to use. Given how strapped zeon was for supplies by the end I can imagine they were told to deal with right handed suits pretty quick. The machine did most of the work anyway as long as you lined the sight up you were good to go. It’s interesting but kind of also non-sense from a military perspective. But also hey glad somebody at least gets something out of it beyond going “neat” at the lefty zaku.

The Dom Tropen that attacked Torrington Base in Unicorn was left-handed as well.

While late to the party, I think that making an MS left-handed friendly would, if anything, come down to the cockpit controls being mirrored. The machine itself is going to be ambidextrous for no other reason then there is no reason to make the arms more different than they have to be. Given that we've seen Zakus wield weapons without problem in their 'off hand' the computer likely wouldn't even need to have more programing done to handle thing. SS2LP's comment about left handed weapons actually brings up an interesting note - the most famous and iterated on weapon used by zeon forces - the Zaku Machine Gun is actually a left handed weapon. The ejection port on all types are on the left face, the original machine gun used by the Zaku 1 attached it's drum magazine on the right face of the weapon (making loading it with the left hand an awkward affair. even the fore grips are ambidextrous in most designs (only changing to a grip meant to be used by left left hand in MS Igloo and model kits afterward)

The designs in the original gundam series have a heavy inspiration from Samurai armor. The gold trim on the Zabi custom units is Inspired by Daimyo armor. A Daimyo being a eto era governor/ Lord. Basically they were the rich land owners and were known to decorate there armor to show their wealth.

@@JeffreyPiatt I am semi-familiar with the word Daimyo cos of the 2003 TMNT show.

Yeah, the origin style cg is not that bad but not that good, unicorn cg is good for its time but it can be improved a lot if created with todays technology.

@@gopnikinadidas6333 might as well get used to the cg its here to stay the days of all hand drawn high quality animation are long in the past no one can afford it any more

I agree on all those ideas…..if an ONLY IF, they cut down a bit on the NewType stuff at least after being Lalah Sune into the story ……if there’s one thing I’ve learned the really HATE from the original series outside of Gihren loyalists it’s her Her constant involvement in the story long after death, namely her seemingly being a factor in Char’s Counterattack via the swan that draws Quess’ attention that leads Amuro to discovering the horseback riding Char And STILL showing up in Unicorn annoys me It feels like the creators for UC need to shill her when it comes to anything NewType related whenever it comes to UC era stuff Hell they have the damn main villain in Thunderbolt, which is basically an AU of the UC Era, use her original line for hell’s sake

@@arashitendou5941 While I don't exactly agree, I do understand why you don't like her and that's totally fair.

@@heavyarms55 thank you for understanding If anything I blame Kishimoto for his handling of Sasuke and pretty much the entire Uchiha clan Shilled them so freakin HARD in Naruto I absolutely hate them all and detests it when it comes up in other works Mostly when it comes at the expense of the actual main character(s) Lalah coming back and being used so freakin much feels overdone for how short a time she was ultimately around in the main story Not to mention her creating the freaking trope most super serious, or at least all the UC era series, had to seemingly force upon us watchers “You see this important and relevant female character connected to the main male lead…..yeah before or just at the finale she’s gonna die pretty horribly and leave a nice big emotional scarring on the male forever. Cheers.”

Nah that’s not Lacus that’s Meer.

that Zaku marches for Maccragg

@@HaloFTW55 for the imperium of man honorable battle brother!

@@drakeevans3066 God Emperor Zabi protects!

From Holy Terra came his proud sons

Agreed! It's sooo much more interesting then lots of the later stuff or any of the stand alone/alternate series lore. IMO at least.

With Flanagan institute and Chimera Corps in the mix, I don't think we'll be seeing the kind of idealized "love" from G Gundam. I feel bad for any lovebirds who might be hoodwinked into the program.

Ah yes Zeonic Front. I bought that game many many years ago back when I was a kid. Unfortunately for me, I was swiftly disappointed and learnt that you can’t play US Ps2 games on a PAL console. Sadist refund of my life

Absolutely my favorite video game of the franchise

Zeonic Front was so incredible and unique! We need, NEED a remake of that game in 2021.

it is one of the better Gundam games, and it actually has lore

Such a great game! And the Zeon themed soundtrack (chef's kiss).

Well, we thought it was the only thing original to Destiny, but even that was a direct copy...

Random Zeon ace: "Thanks, I hate it"

In any case, Blaster Mari would be the grandmother to both of them. There's something hilarious about a genocidal space dictatorship being a wellspring of space magical girls.

By best enemy grunt unit, do you mean GM-79 II?

I will always have a love for the Zaku and its derivatives.

@@prollins6443 zaku still better also beside zaku i like gm quel better lol

@@RePhantomz I have always had a thing for the Gelgoog, myself

@@prollins6443 gelogog are cool for me too but spinning beam naginata make it looks so goofy. I do find cima custom gelogog marine the best looking one too. tho. I do wish zudah have deal with saturn engin earlier so we can see zudah f massed produced as grunts.

Ironically the dopp was a poorly designed aircraft due to spacenoid limited knowledge on gravity bound combat .

I activate karma cut!

Except the s type was worse than the r type

Because the bad guys tend to be more prideful because they are usually underdogs

Or the Alex prototype 90mm triple barrel arm gatling..... Suuure.... Packing a 100+ rounds of 9cm thich shells is plausible inside the arms of a bipedal 14m tall mech

@@andrehashimoto8056 Oh god I know. lol

Gundams usually have 60mm vulcans in their heads, which is even more ridiculous, not to mention an absolute overkill for something that's supposed to take care of "light armor" and sensors.

@@DarkButz what mm round would you say is plausible???

@@MusicFan752 40mm single barrel gun like the Bofors AA guns used on ships. The barrel would be shorter and the feed system would be more like in a machine gun. Dont get me started on 75mm Igestelung head vulcans of the Seed universe.(unless they are beam fireing like in Unicorn there is no room for the ammo and the guns)

Happy Birthday!

Mass production of the dom could have pushed zeon into a better position.

@@Aceshot-uu7yx Unlikely, since it was mass produced, and was a heavy assault MS designed for offensive action, making it less useful when Zeon was on the defensive by the time they had a lot of Doms and Rick Doms in service. It was intended to replace the Zaku II, after all.

Most of the plans were overlapping which is why so many were abandoned.
