Most of them are designed by Titans. ZZ don't have a lot because NZ doesn't seem to be too fond of them. You can see that they stick to non-transformable ones instead since 0083's Neue Ziel. I can't recall seeing the NZ having any MA of their own in ZZ as well, Psycho Mk-II and the Asshimar are units they picked up from Titans. Queen Mansa is considered a heavy MS somehow, but okay, the size is definitely MA class.Underrated GM Custom wrote: ↑Fri May 07, 2021 5:18 pm
Very good point. In addition to cost there is a deal of extra weight with all the internal motors required to transform. I do have to say from an in-universe perspective I do value that they made a point on how expensive TMS were and actively tested out cheaper version like the Methuss. I would also hazard a guess that the Gaplant with it's very streamlined design has the cheapest transforming mechanisms of the Titan's MS.
I had forgotten about TMA, those are primarily ZZ right? Then subsequently disappeared for the rest of continuity.
The Psycho-Gundam is an interesting point. It transforms into a mobile fortress. It's slow, cumbersome, nearly indestructible and packs some heavy firepower. Perhaps we've found our UC tank replacement?
Well, they do have to fit them in the same packages and sell at the same price.
My holy grail is always the MAN-08 Elmeth.You know I hadn't made that connection before. The Aspalus is essentially my holy grail of MA, it's a Big Zam without the silly chicken legs. Although it's also lacking all the AA MPC that Big Zam is fond of.
It not only has all the main line tank destroyer type features with its main mega beam gun, but also is a small carrier in its own right with all the bits.(each about the size of EFSF's Ball.)
Similar reasoning I like the Qubeley.
