I too like it. The recolored head looks very good, and the rifle works well with it.

And I too prefer Drake to Dive, but I think Drake Raider sounds a little funny.

Now that I say it aloud, I agree. I'm going to forsake conventional OMNI naming patterns and go for something that doesn't begin with a D.

How about Strafe?

Strafe Aegis and Strafe Raider?

Now that's pretty catchy.

Did this as a request. This bloke wanted a Gundam based on his fan-character.

Uhm, what's with the revolver?

His character uses a Python (the type of revolver the mech is holding) so I found lineart for a Python.

Odd taste in colors to say the least.

A mobile suit use Python. Reminds me of the Gigantic Magnum's (Only those looked like the Nintendo 'Zapper' guns, rather than real ones).

As for the Raider thing from before, I think Dive Raider sounds the best of the suggested names.

Not a new Franken, just a Stargazer in what I consider to be my personal colors..

Hybrid Gundam: a combination of ZAFT's first generation of Gundams.

Is the DRAGOON backpack detachable?

'fraid not. It's the Providence's torso, so the DRAGOON pack is rather attatched.

Figured so.

It doesn't hurt that I borrowed the Deathscythe's color scheme.

Bezerker · Sun Jul 30, 2006 6:10 pm

i love the Deathscythe so i love this suit

Following somewhat close on the heels of the Hybrid is the Fusion, a combination of ZAFT's last two Gundams, Terminal's two Gundam, and the Akatsuki.

That is one sexy piece of gundam.

The color scheme makes me think of the fall season for some reason. Not something I personally would have on my MS.
That however is the only real flaw with this unit. It integrates the best qualities of each suit and does it quite well. I. Justice legs, S. Freedom torso, Destiny shoulders and arms, Legend backpack, and Akatsuki head and rifle.

This color scheme's origins is obviously the Hydra Gundam from G-UNIT.

Got it in one. I wanted the suit to have an obvious "enemy" color scheme but didn't want one with purples or reds.

And to compound the "best of each suit" theme, I replaced the Legend's normal Dragoons with Akatsuki's remote beam turrets.
