I prefer the original Mobile Suit Gundam's view of Gundams as a series of
one type of super suit vs. the Gundam Wing style of one each of a handful of
very different Gundams. The series of one type has more of a feel of
realism to me, like maybe they can only afford to build a small number of

Wasn't that a retcon? In any event it would have been three of the

makes more sense realistically to have eight units of the same design

data at all.

It is also invluding a Lalah and Char figure as well. Since the MG Char's

As for ver 2.0 gimmicks, I think it's not restricted to Char's at all.
Am I wrong?
The Rx-178 MK II and Zewta Gundams had the bases as their gimmick. I don't
think the Green Zaku Ver 2 had any unique gimmicks.

Not really. Designing units with different missions allows you to test out
which configurations the mobile suit designs are best suited for, and to test
likely avenues of development for your mass production suits.

I started writing a follow-up to a couple posts which became a stream
of consciousness and ended up going everywhere and nowhere and almost
dropped it. But then more (English) info trickled out for G00 so let
me try to tie it back. Seems that Jason's original subject is even
more apropos now

I'm skeptical as to whether that would fly in China.
Retaliation or punishment is still a valid and justifiable reason

Well, I suppose it would require a conqueror.
Yes, but most countries have no interest in such things (particularly
those with the tech to wage war on the scale we're talking about). We

I have a feeling that the other two Gundams were left out of the Anime and
Movies. In the realm of the Anime, the Gundam's armor was too strong for a
Zaku to destroy it anyway. The Super Napalm probably wouldn't have done much
either... (maybe fry the circuitry). So, I doubt that the

If the gundams did exsist, atleast from the anime creator's standpoint, it probably would have taken the idea of the incredible strength of the gundam away. In all shows, Gundams always appeared to be the strongest because of their ability to stand out, being that there were not more than one of
