Probably, plus how wimpy Acguys were in the Jaburo arc. And I can't remember if there were any Acguy vs. Gunam/Guncannon/GM melee scene. The scene of Char's Zugock vs GM fixed Zugock's size for all eternity. If Acguy were comparable to Gogg (only 19% lighter), why doesn't it fights like a "tanker"? Instead Acguy fights like a regular MS like Zugock or GM. By specs, Acguy is more than double a GM! > Haven't watch 08MST for a while but I think the Acguy there did tower > over the Ground type Gundam. Right, I was just thinking 08MST version of Acguy seems much more powerful and massive. But it still doesn't seem like the MG kit's bulk. > IMHO Weight is not worth discussing in UC universe, as the show Yes yes I agree official mass specs are meaningless, I've made this point many times (esp. re Dendrobrium) all along. My original issue is still: if you watch only First Gundam, and ignore the retrocon specs, would you scale the MG Acguy kit to 19.2cm? If you do it the other way around, create the MG kit based of official specs (19.2m) and now get a chance to make anime. How would you anime Acguy? I will have an Acguy power-charge a GM (absorb a couple Beam Pistol shots) picks it up, lifts it overhead and throws it at another GM. > basically started on the premise of "an improved and lighter armor > called Gundarium" in Operation V, and again with Gundarium Gramma for > Zeta Gundam. Lighter armor makes for a better robot in a fire fight, and a nimble fighter in hand-to-hand. But when there's a big mass differential, the heavy one has an advantage in melee. Let's set up an "experiment". GM: 180lb guy with current US Army bullet proof body armor with a 9mm side arm. Acguy: 360lb guy with no or low quality armor, also with a 9mm. How would the GM fight? Keep the distance and shoot. How would the Acguy fight? Try to avoid the shoot out and force a hand-to-hand punch out. -- Dr. Core -------------------------------------------------- The Gundam Mailing List MK-II [email protected] Archives: http://www.gundam.com/gml Help: Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with this in the BODY: help list
