What we've learned from watching/Reading Gundam

[mcred23]

Tanks, aircraft, and most warships are worthless against a mobile suit.

Note: This does not gold true for the One Year War-era Earth Federation Forces, particularly the Earth Federation Air Force. It does, however, work for almost every AU out there.

If your suit is
Orange: You will die. Maybe not now, but eventually you will die. Or be crippled.

I think that the rule is: if your color is orange, you're gonna get cleaved up in one way or another. *notes that all "Orange" guys in CE got ASSworded or knifed...*

[Destroy Gundam]

I wanted to include UC. Garma Zabi's Dopp and his Zaku were both orange and Glemy's Bawoo was orange, IIRC.

[EZero8]

Heh... I guess my rule would only apply to CE then.

[mcred23]

They were, as was the Asshimar in Zeta but I forgot exactly how the two that mattered die....

[Wingnut]

With the exception of sequels, the villian's main mobile suit will carry a machine gun and an axe/sword. Bazookas are optional.

Actually, only Char's Zaku and Rau's CGUE fall into that catagory.
Zechs had a beam saber and a Dobergun even when he used his Leo, and except for Turn A, the other universe villians had Gundams of their own to start out with.

[Destroy Gundam]

"Villans" in that case meant the whole side. Zeon, OZ, ZAFT, SRA as a whole.

I'll change it, though.

[Yuusha Tokkyu Might Gaine]

The only thing that matters is that the Methuss isn't a Char.

It is now..

Now it can blow up three times as fast!

In CE,

ZAFT chooses Mobile Suit names at random from Scrabble tiles.

[Destroy Gundam]

In CE,

ZAFT chooses Mobile Suit names at random from Scrabble tiles.

Except for the GINN. I suspect the designer must've been drunk. Too bad the CGUE wasn't called the RUMM...

[Yuusha Tokkyu Might Gaine]

Also for CE:

Don't expect most acronyms to make very much sence.

Yes, and the whole ZGMF thing should have been JWMU..Johnny Walker Mech Unit..

Thing I learned: Captains of primary combat vessels during the Gryps War LOVED Space Burgers... And Chips because there were no fries. And Pepsi because Coke did not support the AEUG movement..

Cheebahgah cheebahgah cheebahgah...<_<

[razgriz]

the larger and more badass a handheld weapon looks the more wildy inaccurate and ineffective it is

ZAFT chooses Mobile Suit names at random from Scrabble tiles.

And Zeon, the Titans and Zanscare thought any harder when they made names for their mechs?

[Mwulf]

^--at least they understood the virtue of phonetics.

[razgriz]

no what they did was fill their mouths up with graham crackers and try to read words from the dictionary to name their ms

[Mwulf]

All the CE mecha names feel like someone's just shouting random sylables and tripping over their own tongue... so they only sound decent when Yzak's the one talking.

^--at least they understood the virtue of phonetics.

"Ewww, look at that guy's gelgoog!"
"What the byarlant is going on here!?"
"Horse zock!"
"I hate it when he waves his bigro like that!"

I think I see your point .

All the CE mecha names feel like someone's just shouting random sylables and tripping over their own tongue...

Yep, and we all know nothing comes off the tongue better than "Gottrlatan", "Gengaozo" or "Bolinoak Sammahn".

[razgriz]
