The Satellite Cannon earns all the praise it gets because despite being an obvious powerhouse, it was never abused and was purposefully integrated into the story. It also ties well with Garrod's character development. The weapon was used with awe, fear, reverence, and respect. The creators did a very good job of not turning it into a generic Super Robot finishing move or a spammable tech.
It was a monstrous weapon that's why when it's shown on TV it was a treat. They took that special move and integrated it well with the story sucks the series got cut short because it wasn't popular enough.
This is something that Wing and Seed fans don't get. Superweapons can only look cool if used sparingly, the Twin Buster Rifle and Kiras beam spam is lame as hell on screen because of how commonly they are used.
The scene where garrod holds the colony cannon hostage with his double x is one of my favorite scenes in a gundam series just the sheer notion that the colonies controlled a weapon of death yet garrod is the one who has the upper hand against them is both awsome yet hallarious then when they give tiffa back to him he then proceeds to fire anyway and destroy the cannon shows how boss garrod is lol.
Plus isn't he firing from the other side of Earth's orbit, or something? I seem to recall he had to account for the planet's gravitational field and the curvature of the Satellite Cannon's beam.
Its not the first time the guy held a vastly superior foe at essentially knifepoint. He hijacked a mobile suit episode one with a sick set of Kamina shades, a handgun, and a homemade flashbomb. Though, since Gundam X came first, im pretty sure we should be calling them Garrod Shades
@@vel0xraperio Yes. The whole thing is astonishngly well done. The SRA was smart enough to know if they made their Colony laser orbit the Earth any where there was a line of sight to the moon, a Satillite cannon could wreck it. So they always had the Earth in the way. Now the way the cannon works, you need that line of sight to the moon, then a clear shot at the target. So the suit has to be in the corner of a 90% angle. Which is too far away for the Gundam to target by itself, he had to sync with Pala's G-Falcon for a spotter. But for me the real insane thing is how good his shot placement was. First Shot is wide because it's a warning shot. Second shot does minor damage to the colony laser, proving, yes he's accurate at that range, he's not bluffing, and he can fire far more rapidly than the X's. Third shot cores the thing, and at this point Pala's taking Tifa away, so he's not getting fed data anymore.
"Which Gundam is the strongest" is an argument that usually involves the qualifier "Not counting the Turn-A," since there's kind of a gap between a machine that can end civilization and everything else. (Also, it's kind of amusing to see a lot of beam cannons from the UC are so low in output; we've experimental lasers in real life with several terawatts output.)
I think the output is just from them guessing based on numbers at the time, similar to how movies in the 90s thought that having a certain amount of GB in the 50-100 range is a lot of data when most computers and phones can handle that easily now.
Nope. Turn A now has been dethroned. The strongest is Unicorn now. Turn A only has nanomachines that ended civilization. Meanwhile Unicorn has space warping powers. It can disable anything it regard as weapons so that means the MLB. Oh and its spacewarping is so powerful that it has the potential to collapse the entire universe. I'm not joking. The author of Gundam UC Harutoshi Fukui states this. The reason for Gundam Narrative to exist is to showcase just what would happen if Psychoframe tech gets used by the wrong person. It is simply too dangerous that they cannot let anyone, even the good guys use it because the cost for one single mistake would be too high. Meanwhile GN Drives and MLB can't even destroy a planet.
@@secondsein7749 You'd think, but: 1) The NT-D has been stated to specifically target Newtype weaponry; psychoframe and psycommu systems. It doesn't register anything else, so the Butterfly wouldn't trip it since it's not reliant on Newtype tech. (And honestly, crossover material makes me wonder just what shows up on those kinds of systems with the Turn-A; it never gets a reaction from ALICE of the S and Ex-S Gundams or the Blue Destiny's EXAM system either, when by all rights both ought to go completely ballistic around the Turn-A.) 2) The Unicorn warping space is *apocryphal*, unfortunately; it's mentioned in an interview, but nowhere else; it's also stated to be specific to the crystalized version of the Unicorn seen in the animation, and we don't actually get it doing any of what Fukui claimed it could. (The novels have it pull something closer to the Axis Shock after tanking a blast from -Gryps-.) Sunrise and Bandai-Namco, methinks, probably squashed that for the simple sake of continuity. F91 and V Gundam take place after Unicorn in the Universal Century timeline, and both were produced well before it. I will give the Phenex the ability to warp space, but that's more "sheer speed and physics" than anything else. While I would put Unicorn a close second to the Turn-A in terms of power and durability (again, the novels have it *tanking a shot from Gryps*), what Fukui claims it can do and what it canonly seems capable of are two very different things. The Turn-A still takes the edge, and I'll happily admit it's not the largest edge.
I personally think the GN drive is the most overpowered single piece of technology in the Gundam multiverse. It can power mobile suits, or battleships. It can work as a means of propulsion It can harden armor to resist weapons fire, or work as means for high vibration physical weapons. it can act as a catalyst for weapons fire it can be tuned to work as an energy shield It can function as a radio wave jamming system ... It can facilitate human evolution it can work as a communication medium between species it can work as a FTL drive system The GN drive can do almost anything you want ... and I don't think this is a complete list.
Honestly (other than G Gundam) the only suits that could possibly match it are the Unicorn variations, though those are dependent on the pilot's newtype abilities. I would put the Phenex slight above the Qan[T] due to sheer reality warping powers, though we never really saw the Phenex ever use it's full power so take this with a grain of salt.
GN drive is also an omni-propulsion device. One of the key point why GN drive is so powerful, is that you can just stick a GN drive to MS and it can move up down left right front back sideways without needing to add thrusters or propulsions. You can add direction to make it faster, but in general Its literal psychic movement for a Gundam and cheat out conventional designs. No wonder most of the people in Build Fighters and Build Divers series, usually use 00 design’s as one of the base because GN Drive and Trans-Am are stupid powerful. And to add bonus points, its technically renewable energy too lol
The twin buster rifle became more overpowered, with the addition of the drei zwerg(german for 3 dwarfs). For reference, Heero in the Gundam Wing(EW) fired his buster rifle with drei zwerg attached, that wipe out a battalion of Virgo MDs and their carriers. What's impressive, is that the beam even reached outer space. So imagine how powerful Wing Zero's TBR with the drei zwergs.
@@alanruiz9296 it is. but even tho its called a rifle its more like a mega particle cannon. its power is good but its area of effect is what makes it special. there are other stronger MPC than it. but they are not as easy to aim or control.
@@sangheilicommander1056 they are easy to use because they are riffles, size and form factor is why are classified as riffle, no for what they do, the magnum is almost a beam bazooka limit powerful shoots with a lot of recoil, but is a riffle cause the form and size
I will always have a soft spot for Wing Zero's twin buster rifle. Not only was it the first insanely powerful F U gun I saw in Gundam. It was also the reason I dub the Wing Zero Custom the Angel of Fire. That's not mentioning all the add ons they did in Glory to The Losers where they made it an even more insanely powerful F U gun.
wow late to the party but glad to see wing zero getting love here as for my 2 cents on the whole takes down a colony vs the bunker first and foremost in space there would be no resisting forces for ZERO to deal with secondly you cannot fire such a powerful weapon with out drawbacks in earth the gravity on top of ZERO being heavily damaged makes alot of sense. and unlike most if not all the beam rifles in grandam the twin buster rifle in WING ZEROS hands can not only be fired as one weapon or in shots but can be continuous fire mode in both narrow and wider beams
@@shiroken0 To be fair I think they made it as such to illustrate what the Gundam scientists were saying about the dangers the Wing Gundam Zero posed. Not only in a novice's hand like we saw With Trent. But in the hands of an outstanding pilot as we saw with Heero and Duo. At least with the Zero System it wasn't a mass producible weapon system like some of the others we've seen in the franchise. Looking at you Gundam X, I love you but you're still guilty.
@@jakealter5504 The Zero system made every suit it was installed on especially deadly. The Virgo mobile dolls are a prime example. They were tough to beat with their normal programing however, when combined with the Zero they were nearly unstoppable.
@@deathscthye02 I agree, I was just saying that the combination of the twin buster rifle and zero system was devastating since the pilot could easily destroy a colony on accident if they get overwhelmed by the zero system
The genius part with the Silver Bullet Suppressor having exchangeable hands is basically a reminder that Banagher is NOT part of the Federation anymore, but with ZEON now. So it makes perfect sense that they couldn't just build a mobile suit that straight up handles the recoil blast of the magnum. Simply put, they couldn't make something so powerful with the Federation going all EYES on Zeon again and of course, since the Vist Foundation had so many Silver Bullets and are TECHINICALLY stripped down Doven Wolfs by Anaheim, it wouldn't surprise me if these guys were premium sold items.
I don't think the federation could either, the unicorn mobile suits were vist foundation projects, said projects data was deleted at the start of the unicorn series.
@@MusicFan752 actually Vist foundation members controlled AE, the ACTUAL manufacturer of the RX-0 prototypes (Unicorn, Banshee and Phenex), Unicorn (RX0-1) was "given" to Vist foundation at Side 7 for "testing". BUT, AE and the Federation held the Banshee and Phenex for their own testings... Banshee was with the AE or part of the Federation AE had the capacity to order around, while the Phenex was being tested by the feds alone (who put a newtype pilot to be the test subject/"pilot" who caused it to go AWOL once the ghost in the machine that was said pilot went wild in the middle of the Unicorn incident, only to then disappear during the NT Narrative incident.... basically with ALL 3 test prototypes running wild, being hickjacked, pilots losing control or getting out of control whilst inside said MSs.... including one KIA test pilot HAUNTING the damn machine to the point of taking control of it... no WONDERS ANYONE, be Federation, Sleeves or AE themselves (after most of the Vist family members controlling it were "ejected" from the company after Unicorn incident) would STEER away from MAKING another RX0 type gundam.... if all test units had ALL those problems, the only conclusion is to consider the machine unsuitable for production, no less the Jestas being still so costly despite the MANY downgrades from the RX0 prototype baseline it was quickly discontinued.
@@MusicFan752 I mean it was the whole point why ECOAS was sent there in the first place, though this is where the weird fine print of the UC Project comes into play. While the Vist Foundation spearheaded the project, it was more of a collaborative effort from both the Federation and Anaheim at the beginning, THEY built the Unicorns, what the Vist Foundation did was make sure that the Federation couldn't use the La+ Program and that any tests regarding it were to be destroyed. Along with the fact that they were just going to hand Unicorn over to Neo Zeon.
Anaheim/vist still have capacity and the only that has mean to make unicorn type gundam. But if banagher is show up piloting mobile suit that has Unicorn technology that mean Minerva faction and Anaheim/vist broken the deal with federation. It may cause Anaheim under federation scrutiny once again and reconsidering Minerva faction as enemy. Something that Minerva and banagher want to avoid. The same thing applied with federation. If they show up using any technology from Unicorn, it may give Minerva faction justification to reactivate Gundam unicorn unit 1
@@chunchunmaru07 Exactly this! The "contest" between Turn A and 00 Qan [T] / ELS Qan [T] (and more recently the Unicorn) often comes up, but IMHO it doesn't even exist ... or make sense. Of course it's tempting, because Gundam overall falls more into the "real robot" genre than "super robot" and there's always some more or less well thought out technobabble and clearly defined limitations and thus the franchise lends itself to comparisons. However those three suits simply left the science-fiction genre and mixed aspects of super-robots, science-fantasy and basically-it's-magic into their design. Also we don't see them using their full potential like ... ever? Because that's part of the narrative: They are so powerful, that fully using them would defy all storytelling ... at least when the entire story so far was built up on a mostly-science-fiction / real robot setting.
The GP02 was one of the first UC suits which had a tunable beam saber backed directly my it's reactor. That continued to the Nu Gundam which surprised Char in the Sazabi. Glad there was no mention of Psychoframe BS... I mean the Phenex's Armed Armor DEs. Those have NewTypes BS capabilities of suppressing several gigatons with of energy set off by the NZ-999 II. Probably the most powerful "defensive" weapon in UC.
Banagher really had something going with the Silver Bullet considering you can *reload* the arms, but considering how often Banagher is shooting the Beam Magnum, it makes me wonder if Banagher just has a surplus of arms sitting in the hanger and how much all those said arms cost.
i mean even if he ran out of silver bullet/doven wolf arms, im sure he could fit on arms from older suits as well. God knows there's enough Barzam spares lying around, heh.
Engineer: "You know it'd be more economical if you just use a regular beam rifle. Hell, you could supe it up to give it more kick and it'd still be under budget." Banagher: "Beam Magnum." Engineer: "You use up an E-pak with every shot!" Banagher: "Beam Magnum." Engineer: "You need to have _four_ extra arms just to use each one!" Banagher: "Beam Magnum." Engineer: "... could we at least upgrade the arm a little bit?" Banagher: "... hmm?" (I swear, for a guy who didn't like to kill people he sure loved using a weapon that could kill people by just _breathing_ in their general direction)
Huh. That could actually be the reason that the Garencieres Junior only carried the one mobile suit. It needed the room for all the extra arms needed by the Silver Bullet Suppressor.
Silver bullet extra arm kinda dumb considering prior silver bullet banagher use gundam mk2 with doben wolf hand and can shoot beam magnum with no issue
@@RePhantomz The Gundam Mk.II was outdated so it was never gonna last. Also, the arm itself looks very strapped on and easy to damage. Say a bullet grazed one of those pipes that's jotting out. Arms is instantly weakened and at worse disabled which prevents the Beam Magnum from being used. I also imagine the size makes it difficult to move around with. Knowing that, the replaceable arms gimmick is the smarter solution.
I would also like to make an honorable mention to the G-Self Perfect Pack - outfitted with beam deflection capability, omnidirectional lasers, and, oh, just casually, ANTIMATTER PHOTON TORPEDOES. At least the Moonlight Butterfly left you with sand - these things literally annhilate!
But the biggest drawback of the G-Self Perfect Pack is the fact that it still uses power from a photon battery. The features and the output may be insane but the battery drain rate is also insane. In the far future, THERE ARE ONLY BATTERIES TO POWER EVERYTHING, WTF!
The thing about Banagher's custom Silver Bullet needing extra arms may have something to do with INCOM system which compromised its structural integrity. The Doven Wolf had to stick its mega launcher to its chest to handle the recoil of a comparable weapon after all.
The Beam Magnum can't be handled by any other MS besides the Unicorns themselves. The Delta Plus broke its arm with a single shot and the Silver Bullet Suppressor is also an example. But in the Return of the Lion manga, Banagher modified a Gundam Mk-II's arm by sticking two Doven Wolf arms together with a hydraulic mechanism that enables the arm to withstand the recoil without breaking in every shot.
@@EXADragaon Now that you mentioned that, It's strange how the Suppressor only replaces its forearm with each shot when the recoil affect the shoulder as well. Perhaps those thrusters on the forearms help mitigate the recoil somewhat and that only using one pair of thrusters can counteract the Beam Magnum's recoil but a single forearm unit cannot handle the forces that well, that's why Banana used two strapped together on his Mk-II. Edit: apparently The Mk-II was made before the Suppressor. I guess having replaceable forearms is better than basically strapping 2 full arms together.
Honorable Mention: The Beam Rifle People often tend to forget that just a simple Beam Rifle plus a decent pilot and mobile suit can easily take out a fleet of ships and base with good aim.
@@jakealter5504 I mean yes. But it's a big target with multiple areas where it can be easily destroyed. Just shooting the bridge is enough to disable most battleships. After that just aim center mass and you'll probably hit something that will make the whole thing explode whether that be the ammo storage or the generator powering it. Char didn't say "Is that mobile suit equipped with a battleship-class beam cannon?!" for no reason.
@@BeyondDaX Potentially but Wings beam weapons seem to be based on raw plasma rather than minovsky particle generation. How exactly the two takes on it compare is hard to say.
Didn’t the Unicorn shoot its way out the remains of a space colony cylinder when it was fighting the Sinanju? Couldn’t it do the same to a whole one? To be fair, the UC is not exactly the kind of timeline where people can just go around shooting at space colonies considering they’re usually not filled with just bad guys who shoot at birds, reapers, dragons, desert commanders, and gun toting circus performers.
I wish there was a documented output rating for the satelite cannons. According to Gamore, the Double X holds the record for farthest gundam sniper. The max range of the cannon is unknown but Garod hit a colony laser with it 370,000 km away. The beam still trampled the target which suggests it can still hit farther.
Well, you also have to consider what the practical range for targeting is. Heck, at that range, you're possibly going to run into the issue of light speed transmission delay from your forward observer.
Theoretically, If you mean travel range in an “empty space,” then it will absolutely travel in the direction that it was fired forever without anything stopping it until something intercept its path.
I absolutely love how you ended it with the Gundam Hammer, though I am surprised you didn't make grenades their own category. Probably wouldn't have made for an interesting addition, but a part of me is curious. This makes me appreciate a lot of the gunpla in the Build series more because they took weaknesses of some iconic weapons and made them much stronger like Maoh making his custom X be able to use solar power if the moon isn't in sight. It was like the designers and writers looked at these old suits and went "Okay, so how do we make it better without making it something completely new?"
If I recall correctly, the wing zero's hands/arms had a direct connection to it's power plant as well. This is what allowed it to use it's twin buster rifle and it's beam sabers to fight vs Epyon. Also a bit shocked on how lowly rated wing zero's power plant was when I looked it up at a few places.
This fact is highlighted in Endless Waltz actually. The moment before that final shot on the bunker when they give you the cockpit view, you can see the various bits of data, which includes reactor connection and power outputs for the twin buster rifle.
@@kivulifenrir Its power outage is rather inconsistent since the TBR while it can annihilate colonies doesn't seem to be strong enough to penetrate a nuclear bunker without literally tearing itself apart due to the recoil of the weapon itself.
@@BeyondDaX I think it's not that inconsistent. If I'm not wrong, firing TBR at full power has negative effect on wing zero integrity so heero only firing TBR full power only at large target and if situation demand so. And because how colony constructed, TBR has easy time destroying colony compared to nuclear bunker that has many layer of reinforced protection.
@@BeyondDaX it only tore itself apart after a duel with Altron, atmospheric re-entry, crashing into a lake, and being submerged at the bottom of said lake for who knows how long. The frame was already compromised. Hard to say how it would've fared if it were in peak condition.
@@thespikeheadboy3164 i mean it never really needed it since the GN sword V is already super powerful enough. The full saber is only made to support the syncing of the GN drives just like the 0 raiser but since the drives were made for each other they were already at perfect sync. P.S. surprised he included the the GN sword iii instead of the GN sword V since the GN sword V is like the GN sword iii but better
One I think is - sort of - missing here is the Gundam 00 Quan[T]. It has the same overpowered GN sword as the 00 but with an even higher output. One could also argue it has the best funnel/bit weapons in the franchise as well if you consider their sheer versatility - serving as remote weapons, a powerful shield, a magnifier for the Quan[T]'s GN beam weapons, and as a quantum teleporter = all at whatever insane output the Quan[T] was capable of.
People forget the fact that 00 quantum can teleport to another galaxy which is like billions and billions of light years away you’re gonna need a lot of power just to do that
People also need to consider the Rifle/Pistol/Holster bits of the Zabanya, they can combine to fire one or more large beams. Also their combined firepower exceeds that of the Strike Freedom.
I'm surprised at the lack of mention of Wing Zero's twin buster rifle. Which famously blew up an entire colony with a single shot. Additionally, if the original Wing's buster rifle is anything to go by, it can be used with at least some of its power by a normal mobile suit like a Leo (which was shown using the original Wing's buster rifle to its normal effect). It may well be that the Wing Zero's "Zero System" ended up unintentionally for the most part serving as a limiter by guiding the pilot not to use it at full power in most circumstances.
I'd like to add to this the sound design of the weapons all around, everything in the seed series had a great sound to it so you could also identify weapons by the sounds they made.
CE would've been THE best gundam series had it not been for the scriptwriter and director (wife and husband, respectively) screwing about. Them getting called out on it just made the wife lash out on the entire production team. She was so petty that she destroyed the entire thing and that's why we have such a crappy SEED Destiny. Even though Gundam 00 restored the original Destiny timeline, it was of a different rendition of the gundam universe. Imagine, having another series and video games being closer to the source material than the canon. Oh, wait. this seems like the norm nowadays.
@@wanderingbufoon so what? Dude my comment is about color-coded beam ray. Stop bringing story this writer that. I don't care. Robot is cool, the original strike gundam design for me is just perfect, that's all to it for me. I don't care about your robot politics.
@@reisawatariX3 I'm saying that the series actually offered more had it not been for the sabotage. "robot politics" you're the one pushing onto that idea. I was just giving a backstory. The only one that SEED and Destiny gave us was basically the first part of SEED. The rest had to be reused to finish because the scriptwriter got sick then became a massive bitch. So we were robbed of the 2nd part of SEED and the entire Destiny.
@@wanderingbufoon I agree. Seed has basically the best potential out there. It's conflict is the bloodiest because it is literally between two genetically different humans. So the reasoning that "strip away the nationality, religion and skin colour, you'd find that we are all the same," can't be used anymore because one side is physically different from the other. It also has the most real world accurate tech and that says a lot considering 00 was supposed to be our direct future instead of the other others that are alternate timelines. A lot of it based on real world science such as the PSA is based on reactive armor, different weapons for different purposes (normal beams lose power underwater so they have to use other weapons) and hard science (such as their Dragoons couldn't be used in atmosphere). Heck, while people would say CE tech is weak due to using batteries, but that's because it is the answer to the often plothole inducing, walking WMD of the nuclear reactors. Seriously, those thing function depending on the plot. Sometimes they got shot in the chest and don't explode with nuclear force, or they do for plot purposes. And yes you are right, all those potential got wasted by the directors that didn't fully understand what they had. Seriously, the director didn't even know that positron cannons shoot anti-matter and therefore, it would be impossible for Mu to survive the shot from Dominion. It's a tragedy really.
The Satellite Cannon from Gundam X is by far one of my favorite weapons in the Gundam universe. Seeing the clips from Gundam X left me in awe of the power it can output, and then seeing it fully in action with Mao from Build Fighters using it in his own version... Très magnifique!
special mention: the Colony Destroyer and Plasma Diver Missile. pretty much the nuke equivalent in Gundam Age. but the destructive power is cranked up to eleven. (can be equipped to a mobile suit)
7:55 You can't deny that listening to that sound just sends chills down your spine. I'll admit the twin buster rifle is probably stronger, but the beam magnum is _iconic._ 15:30 I love how he used Eden's Zero as the defacto "Power of friendship" since that's how the manga runs (though sometimes it subverts that trope).
If you didnt mention Eden's Zero I almost mistook it as Fairy Tail. I mean their designs are technically the same with a different colour scheme. BTW Eden's Zero season 2 is out now.
i think when it comes to beam rifles the wing zero's twin buster rifle is both stronger and more practical than the beam magnum, that thing could literally 1-shot a colony, didn't run on cartridges and you can split the thing so you have 2 very powerful and relatively easy-to-handle rifles, i've even seen people comparing it to the twin satellite cannon because of its sheer power where the consensus is that the TSC is more powerful but the TBR is more maneuverable/versatile, no wonder the 5 scientists decided to downgrade the thing
TBR not really that versatile. If I'm not wrong, because TBR feed directly into wing zero reactor it capable shot multiple times but it also has negative effect into unit integrity. Because of that, even though wing zero capable firing full power TBR continuously heero rarely do that. He always takes time between shot and never at full power. Weirdly enough endless waltz is the only time it shown firing TBR at full power without limiter badly affected wing zero integrity (granted wing zero already damaged)
@@yoshuasidharta4685 Well, I doubt EW Wing Zero was even using full power. Since a full power shot can 1 shot an ENTIRE colony. While in EW, it's a mere bunker. But Wing Zero's damaged state cause to only fire it with limited output since the recoil from one full power shot can tear the suit apart. But even when not full power, the TBR still pack enough punch. And Heero not using full power all the time may stems from the fact that he doesn't want to kill needlessly after he accidentally killed twice.
@@yoshuasidharta4685 The TBR has a variable power setting. making it the perfect in between of Beam Magnum and Twin Satellite Cannon. It doesn't go as high as the TSC, but I think for the most part it has more than enough power for most things you would need it for.
@@Jeikobu And the TBR became even more overpowered in the Glory Of Losers manga, with the addition of the drei zwergs. Heero in the Gundam Wing(EW) shot his Buster Rifle with drei zwerg attached. The beam wiped out a battalion of Virgo MDs and their carriers in a single shot. What's crazy, is that the beam was shown reaching outerspace. If the Buster Rifle became more powerful because of the drei zwerg, imagine how powerful TBR is with the drei zwerg
@@MaxHDAvenger Yea plus the Atomic Bazooka is limited on ammo while the Nuke Launcher can be reuse by fitting it with new nukes. Also the GP02 was stolen with only two nuke loaded so it has to be conservative on ammo.
The one Gundam that comes to mind who can easily brush off the Moonlight Butterfly, other than the G-Gundam since those things are something else entirely, is the ELS Qan[T]. The ELS are not technology but living metal. They'd 'eat' the nanomachines.
Honestly it'd be a three-way between Qan[T], Phenex, and Turn A. Though I'd probably give it to Phenex by just a little because it can actually warp space on a large scale. Qan[T] essentially quantum jumps from place to place and Turn A can destroy all machines but isn't actually a reality warper.
@@andrewowens4421 but the Qan[T] is too fast for the phenex react and do something, I think the 3 RX0 can do the same the only difference is the pilot, but the Qan[T] can be used by any and with time the trans am will make u a Innovator

I'm surprised you didn't include the 00 Qan[T]'s Quantum Sword in this list. Length wise, that thing is about as big as the ELS Mothership which by itself is roughly the size of the moon. Probably would have cut the thing in half if it weren't for the energy shield that ELS put up.

I feel like the arm replacement mechanism on the Silver Bullet Suppressor is more practical than people give it credit for. Since the Silver Bullet's arms are also remote weapons, when the arms are launched out, they become serious targets due to the tactical threat they pose, and are more liable to being destroyed in combat. Because of this, arms for the Silver Bullet (and before that, the Doven Wolf) would be important replacement parts to have on hand. Due to the demand for these parts, it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to think that there would be plenty of spare Silver Bullet arms laying around. As for retrofitting an arm dedicated to being able to fire the beam magnum, only RX-0 types have been able to handle the strain of firing them. This could be due to the psycoframe that's built into the mobile suit's frame. Developing a new arm, gaining access to the resources, equipment, and facilities required to build it, and then actually assembling it would take a huge amount of time and resources. In a sense, they'd basically have to redesign the Unicorn Gundam from scratch, or at least the arm to fire the beam magnum and the cockpit to control the arm. With all of this in mind, creating a system that just replaces the Silver Bullet Suppressor's arms is the most time and cost effective strategy that allows a mobile suit to fire the beam magnum repeatedly in combat.
00 Trans-am Raiser with the GN Sword II is actually more scarier given its width although the GN Sword III reduced the width in exchange of controllability
Was there any motive to not mention the Twin Buster Rifle from the Wing Zero? I mean, We are all talking about very big hitters here, and I'm under the impression the FAZZ Laser cannon covered it, but since there was no mention I got confused.
Yeah im wondering why it wasn't mentioned too unless he's planning on making a video specifically about it. If I had to guess, maybe because it's not as strong as the twin satellite cannon, however, considering the weapon requires no external power and can be fired multiple times, gives it a pretty distinct edge over the satellite cannons. (as well as the FAZZ's cannon)
The thing about the FAZZ was, didn’t the Hi Nu have an even stronger version of the weapon? With the Hyper Mega Bazooka Launcher. So strong it needed a battleship to power it and it tore through an asteroid. And I do feel, the FAZZ is stronger than the Twin Buster Rifle. But the versatility of the TBR is way higher.
I love the Beam Magnum because the reloadable ammo is the arm that fires it. When you think about it, it could save on costs too by producing lower quality arms that break easily so you don't have any structural damage to the rest of the mobile suit as opposed to an arm that's high quality and specific to that particular mobile suit.
What would be more cost-efficient: a) creating one pair of arms that can withstand hundreds of recoils, or b) making hundreds of arms that can only bear one recoil each? Btw the answer is a.
@@공대갈-i4j the issue isn't with the arms, it's with the power of the rifle. The arm could be strong enough to withstand the recoil but it would wear on the frame due to the recoil traveling through the entire mobile suit. Thus, the frame would be damaged and the entire mobile suit left inoperable under ideal conditions. If you could make 10 disposable arms for a mobile suit at a fraction of the cost to replace an entire mobile suit while shooting a beam rifle with the force of a thousand Suns, then the most cost efficient method is B.
Informative, thought provoking... and I imagine the target of a crapton of impotent nerd rage, which I feel is a far stronger weapon than anything on this list.
@@zettovii1367 plus it doesn’t have as long of a charge up time, it can either fire a burst shot (which would still be pretty powerful) or it can take around 1-2 minutes for a full power shot
not counting the Twin Buster Rifle is also a huge miss for the list, since it can literally one shot entire fleets of Armada Ships and also one shot an entire Space Colony.
The 1st setsuna use the raiser sword is really the best, a desperate move in a desperate situation. Even the enemy was sweating since it the beam come down swinging lol.
Sadly no mention of Wing Gundam Zero in either the Prototype or EW forms, also I thought the Double X could self charge the Twin Satellite Cannon but it needed help from the G-Falcon to make it somewhat reasonable and or manageable.
It still boggles my mind (made worse after the Light of Life Chronicle) that the Turn A, possibly hundreds of thousands- maybe even millions of years after it's construction, STILL USES A HYPER HAMMER. Apparently Tem Ray was such a genius that a flail with rocket thrusters strapped to it was included amongst the Turn A's arsenal.
the Full Armor ZZ's hyper mega cannon was too strong, it caused Gundam VS developers to limit it to one shot per spawn initially because it can melt people in seconds and unlike DX's recharging Twin Satellite Cannon, it is available from the start of the game. as for what weapon? i love me some GM III Defenser. the GM III shares similar backpack with Gundam Mk-II so it can still dock with the G-Defenser to create Super GM III
Can't find the official power of Unicorn Beam Magnum. But... - ZZ double beam rifle, power rated at 21.2 MW total (2 x 10.6 MW) - Zeta Hyper Mega Launcher, power rated at 8.3 MW. Not sure which one is more powerful Magnum or Double rifle.
@@RainStorm148 If you look at the model kit, the 1/144, it says the beam magnum shoots a beam that is roughly as strong as a shot from the Mega Bazooka Launcher. It's in japanese though and I don't think the kit has a translated version.
Ah yes the moonlight butterfly when you can take the idea of the "grey goo" phenomena, a truly nightmarish concept to especially use as a weapon......and make it so damn pretty.
Hi Kakarot, nice video as always. Would really like to see you rank the most incredible things Gundam characters did for their lover/ loved ones. Personally, the most memorable one is Norris from 08 MS team, when he found out Shiro was Aina's lover, he completed his mission of taking out the tanks without killing Shiro in exchange for his own life. And for alt universes, it's Mu La Flaga who face tanked two positron cannon shots for his beloved captain.
The Twin Buster Rifle that Wing Zero is armed with is EASILY in the top 3 most powerful weapons. That thing wiped out an entire colony, and it wipes out armies with single shots.
You're way overexaggerating what the TBR could actually do. It can't wipe out an entire colony in a single shot, it could just cause enough damage for the colony to collapse. It can't wipe out an entire army, it could only take out a squad at best. The way you're describing the TBR makes it sound like you're talking about the Twin Satellite Cannon, which is in this list. The TBR is strong but it is far from being a top candidate.
They're probably equally effective when the Twin Buster's targeting precision is taken into account. But the Satellite Cannon is literally a weapon of mass destruction. It's like comparing a railgun with a nuke. They're on the same level in terms of power, but you wouldn't use them in the same circumstances. If you need to eliminate a single huge target, the Zero's TBR is ideal. If you want to wipe out an entire battlefield, the GX's Satellite Cannon can't be beat.
Add the drei zwerg on the TBR, and it makes it even more powerful. Heero in the Gundam Wing(EW) fired a shot from the buster rifle with drei zwerg attached. The shot wiped out a battalion of Virgo MDs and carriers. The beam from the buster rifle with the drei zwerg, even reached outer space. So imagine how powerful TBR with drei zwerg is.
@@vel0xraperio there’s only the downside of needing a satellite link for the satellite cannon to work, the twin buster rifle doesn’t have that problem and can still cause the same amount of damage (it would just take multiple shots)
When you mentioned nukes, I'm surprised you didn't talk about the Metal Gear Gundam, the RX-78GP-02a! I like to call it the Metal Gear for, I should think, fairly obvious reasons (a bipedal mech equipped to carry and launch a tactical nuclear warhead... that is the definition of a Metal Gear for those who don't know)! That and the F90N! Glad the Buster Rifles weren't brought up, mind! Kind of sick of the Wing line right now! Although, how powerful are the Freedom's, Strike Freedom's, Justice's and Infinite Justice's railguns then? For my custom Mk. II, I did actually want to put the Jagd Doga's Funnels on it! I came up with an upgrade from it, a much taller and heftier machine using the Commando as a base, equipped with a twin-satellite cannon and double GN Sword IIIs!
I would like to see someone with the numbers and science knowledge and I know you have 00 the beam saber nod, but I wonder if the 00 Qua[T] feat of slicing into the ELS moon just out right eclipses even beam rifles in this list. Like you have to consider, the ELS mothership was basically a small moon and Setsuna cut a pretty sizable chunk out of it and he wasn’t even directly infront of it. He had to do it a bit farther away. Like. Sure, thats something weapons like the Satelite and Buster cannons could probably do, but 00 did it with its fucking BEAM sabers.
In the movie the ELS moon is, about the size of Earth’s moon. 00 Qan[T] feat is crazy. The area of the ELS moon, the 00 Qan[T] cut was massive like maybe a continent or country size. Our own Moon is 1/4 the size of Earth.
It would be hard to calculate but supplemental information did state that the Qan[T] could have fought off all the ELS by itself because it could have ran for a straight week without rest. And considering Setsuna's newfound "evolution" before hand as a true innovator it's something that could have plausibly happened. So the Qan[T] had near _limitless_ power at it's disposal.
@@andrewowens4421 Yeah, Im sorta in the camp that 00 QanT is extremely underrated and the fact that an ELS 00 QanT exists is like mind boggling. Cause that thing could probably run circles around Unicorn.
@@TARDISES its hard to say cause time scale was 00 is probably the most futuristic set Gundam Series in the series. So just by inferring that also you add to that the highly advanced alien tech… its a toss up. I think ELS Qan[T] would probably just beat any other suit just cause of how insanely far into the future its set
more honorable mention: Gerbera Straight althought it looks like a normal samurai's katana, the gerbera straight is made from a rare metal that can reflect beams. Yes the gerbera straight is snapped during the fight with gold frame, the gerbera straight is remade as the 105 straight (a whopping 105 meter or 344,4 feet or 344 feet) F91'S VSBR the VSBR is the most iconic weapon in F91 and it makes the design of F91 unique. The VSBR have the power to penetrate beam shield and the weapon is recoilless. unicorn gundam after banagher become a perfected newtype If I recall it correctly, the unicorn on this moment can ended the UC timeline in a snap, I mean, it can reverse engineering the minovsky drive from the jegan itself gundam heavyarms custom (especially the EW version, yes I know they are the same but the double gattling gun bro) basically, more ammo more BRRRRRRR ELS quanta While it only appear on the final movie and the SD gundam games, the ELS quanta is theorised to even surpassed the laws of physics in anyway itself, and he can manipulate ELSs to aid him in battle, and the ELS quanta itself can be altered by setsuna mid combat itself
I never really understood the idea behind the beam magnum, other than it just being a cool weapon. I could understand if this was a project being undertaken by Anaheim or another manufacturer to downsize beam weapons even further, maybe with the idea of giving the weapon to interceptor or sniper machines as it has excellent power for its size. Or maybe as a project to expand the capability of e-caps to give them the ability to use all their energy in a single shot. But in MS vs MS combat I would not have liked to use it as a pilot, I see just too many drawbacks: - Only 5 shots per "magazine". - If a machine is not designed from the start to support the recoil that means 99.9% of the federation's MSs cannot use it for more than 2 shots at best, so it makes it extremely niche. - The magazines themselves do not look like standard issue e-caps, which sounds like a nightmare for ship logistics as you need a lot of space dedicated to storing spare ones because they are ejected after each shot and any MS or ship bringing spare e-caps to the frontline during a battle now needs to carry 2 types. - The weapon is a huge friendly fire risk as the shot will go straight through almost anything and it still has more than enough energy even after hitting something. - The charge up time between pressing the trigger and the actual shot means the enemy has more chances to change trajectory, and you have to have better marksmanship than average to land the hit.
IIRC, the Beam Magnum doesn't need to fire at maximum output, Banagher simply never chose to use the main mode, which is a Beam Rifle of standard output with each E-Pac giving standard capacity. Thus one doesn't need to carry a separate Beam Rifle and Beam Cannon, like say the Zeta Gundam does, they have one weapon that can perform both roles. In standard output the Beam Magnum has a capacity of ~75 shots (with additional E-Pac clips for reloads), but if a big punch is needed the user can simply switch to magnum mode and fire the big blasts.
@@Firealchemist24 that is not true. If it really had that ability, then it would have been used. Instead bernage(or whatever his name is) used beam gatling.
Hey so you should check into what funnels system the Zabanya Gundam has in store (might make you change your mind on the funnels section of the video or not but these funnels that the Zabanya gundam uses can be used in both shield mode and assault mode)
Though I'm not a fan of it's anime, credit where its due, the G-Self had they best assault pack in Gundam. It has plenty of attack and defense options but the one formost in my mind is those anti-matter torpedoes that obliterate anything they come into contact with.
I would argue the Riser Sword isn't a beam saber since its just a large beam that is just a larger continuous beam attack. not to mention it took far longer to cut through the much smaller orbital cannon platform then Zech's attack on the much larger Barge. Also where is the freaking Wing Zero's Twin Buster Rifle?? It can one shot Colonies and has multiple firing modes. or how about the Nuke used by the GP-02? it took out most of the Fed Fleet plus a big junk of Solomon.
No twin-buster rifle of the Wing Gundam Zero or the SIX gattling gun and missile launcher barrage of the Heavyarms EW? The Heavyarms EW alone could wipe out entire field armies...if the pilot didn't become a total pacifist out of nowhere. With that said. excellent video good sir :)
heavy arms wouldnt fit the list. its allot of multiple weapons not one single power weapon. but wings is more like a mega particle and shoulda been compared to ZZ mega launcher. idk which out of those is stronger
I really like how the "Giant Beam Gun" variants of weapons generally tend to have a drawback in the fact that they consume power like nobody's business. Also the fact that majority of them have the logical super-high recoil of being a giant particle gun.
Since this list was comprised of mainly beam weaponry, it would’ve been cool to see a list that strictly only contends ballistic mobile suit/armor weaponry.
Dom Tropen and other variants' 880mm raketen bazooka? 680mm artillery gun of the Xamel? Of course, (one of) the tops would be the GP02A's atomic bazooka.
The twin buster rifle can destroy a colony with one shot...i like it better than the double x's satellite cannon because it doesnt need to be powered up...
I kinda always wondered how powerful the Crossbone X3’s sword is, it’s used in full cloth as well and is given a nice demonstration in build divers when it was deployed and fired those beams out of the top
You forgot few weapons, and that is Atlas Railgun, Atomic bazooka GP02, Buster rifle wing Gundam, and last Moon Funnels of moon Gundam. Atlas Railgun is strong at his own but the power still below Dainself. Atomic bazooka is well... Nuclear weapons with power enough to destroy one colony in one shoot. Buster rifle is you know buster rifle... And last the most advanced funnels development by Titan group, moon funnels, almost unbreakable, can be used as shield, melee, and shoot weapon.... The most advanced funnels to this date in my opinion 🤔
A single shot GP02 bazooka shot isn't much compared to a nuclear payload of multiple nukes from a Nuclear striker pack from Seed. The moon funnels are probably around the same as the Sazabi funnels and those Titan funnels are probably not as advanced as the ones from the Hi-Nu but then again who knows.
@@BeyondDaX Nah... GP02 atomic bazooka is tactical nuclear warhead with fire power comparable with strategic nuclear warhead, while multi striker pack is what definition of tactical nuclear warhead. No less no more... So in term fire power quality Atomic bazooka win, but in term power of quantity multi striker pack win. Understand? And there's the BIG different between funnels in nu and sazabi with funnels in moon Gundam. And that is they can't be used as Pshiycal weapon when moon funnels can. In term of durability also moon funnels win since it can stand explosion and beam head on. And proved with it survive against the destruction of doors Gundam with half of it reach moon moon colony along with door Gundam head.
Wing zero’s duel buster rifles cough cough, when combined were supposed to have an output somewhere along the lines of a supernova, if I remember correctly
Supernova? Not really. Its strong but but a lot of bigger beam weapons from UC can match it. Even the double X satellite cannon rivals the twin buster rifle
@@BeyondDaX yeah except the double X satellite canon is ridiculous and not a self-contained unit, The twin beam buster rifle destroyed an entire colony in a single shot as a standalone weapon
@@BeyondDaX Actually not a whole lot from UC can match it. Especially at full power. Just being fired nearby was enough to cause Leos, Aries, Taurus and even Virgos to be destoyed.
it would be nice to see a sequel video talking about physical weapons, rapidfire, maybe barrage/fire supression. maybe a video about strongest anti-MS weapons.
the colonies in Wing are puny small, 1/3 the size of the colonies from every other universes, the Wing making a big hole and triggering a chain explosion is not an impressive feat considering a big rock could do the same.
Great video as always. Did you ever do one on 'Petite' MS? Those little ones just interest me since they could do so much even being so small. I mean they would be a terror in any urban area.
I think part of the problem with the TBR is that outside of Endless Waltz and blowing up a few space colony's its power is never really really demonstrated in the series. Especially once Heero has it. He's not gonna go around blowing up cities or colonies and the like. Sure, maybe there's something to be said about the TBR being able to function while in atmospheric re-entry and still be able to have 100% accuracy AND be able to take out a target the size of a city, but...... I think weapons like the Satellite cannons showcased their destructive power better in their respective animes.
@@kyrudo If I remember correctly, Dekeem Barton mentioned the bunker being ray shielded. So that bunker has the defense power equal to the power of the Mercurius's planetory defensor(since it withstood at least 3 shots from the Wing Zero's TBR). Look at the part where the shot from the TBR hitting the bunker. You'll notice some crackling effects after it got hit
Finally, I’ve been missing videos like these so much. Also twin buster rifle, much like the epyon beam saber, the twin buster rifle had some pretty awesome moments.
Gotta love how the federation in seed was like hey you remember that time when two random guys shot down like all of our nukes let’s shoot more nukes at the guys who rendered nukes unusable for a time
I love weapons and playing unfairly, so I want them all. Except the Moonlight Butterfly. Not only is it so "OP PLS NRF!" that I'd feel wrong using it, the system is far too dangerous to be allowed to exist without a countermeasure. It's a weapon that could throw the world back to the dark ages, and those people who see technology as inherently bad are pretty much the opposite of me. I'd rather consign this foul nanotech to the sun.
What you said better describe Unicorn and maxed out psychoframe than the Turn units. Seriously, MLB can only destroy civilizations and even then it can be countered by other stuff (energy shields, stronger nanomachines etc etc). It's strong, but not that strong. Meanwhile, Unicorn could manipulate time, disable weapons and could potentially collapse the entire universe. You think I'm joking but the creator of Gundam UC, Harutoshi Fukui himself stated this. This is the reason why Gundam Narrative exists: to show the near full potential of psychoframes and its destructive potential and why the tech needs to be stopped absolutely. The power is too strong that nobody can ever be allowed to use it, even the good guys so they decided to seal it for good. The seal the tech so well that the future never get to use psychoframe to Unicorn level anymore.
double cannons but doesnt mention wing zeros double beam cannons being able to just delete space stations and potentially colonies (same w the talgeese 3 mega cannon)
The tallgeese 3 mega cannon is probably around the same or lesser output power with that the head mounted mega particle cannon from full armored ZZ gundam.
Surprised that the GN Bits from the Zabanya didn't make the honourable mentions section for remote weapons, those things when combined together created some extremely impressive blasts in the film.

You forgot the shield that the satellite gundam uses that shield is op bro can you do one for mobile suit strongest shields
Dam you got me good with that fake out at the start. I was like what the hell no beam saber beats the riser sword
You forgot about the G-Self Perfect Pack photon torpedos.
Never forget that Sekiha LOVE LOVE Tenkyoken literally summons The Burker King.
it's best if they decided to make master Asia the last boss, instead that avanger end game things lol
@@kiwoxgen9929 what???
But it’s a martial arts technique, not a weapon :p
Thats actually the projection of the true form of the King Of Hearts Emblem.
For a second I read that as burger king
The Satellite Cannon earns all the praise it gets because despite being an obvious powerhouse, it was never abused and was purposefully integrated into the story. It also ties well with Garrod's character development. The weapon was used with awe, fear, reverence, and respect. The creators did a very good job of not turning it into a generic Super Robot finishing move or a spammable tech.
It was a monstrous weapon that's why when it's shown on TV it was a treat. They took that special move and integrated it well with the story sucks the series got cut short because it wasn't popular enough.
The Oh Shit Cannon should never be fired in vain
This is something that Wing and Seed fans don't get. Superweapons can only look cool if used sparingly, the Twin Buster Rifle and Kiras beam spam is lame as hell on screen because of how commonly they are used.
The scene where garrod holds the colony cannon hostage with his double x is one of my favorite scenes in a gundam series just the sheer notion that the colonies controlled a weapon of death yet garrod is the one who has the upper hand against them is both awsome yet hallarious then when they give tiffa back to him he then proceeds to fire anyway and destroy the cannon shows how boss garrod is lol.
Garrod really is one of best Gundam pilots out there.
Plus isn't he firing from the other side of Earth's orbit, or something? I seem to recall he had to account for the planet's gravitational field and the curvature of the Satellite Cannon's beam.
Its not the first time the guy held a vastly superior foe at essentially knifepoint. He hijacked a mobile suit episode one with a sick set of Kamina shades, a handgun, and a homemade flashbomb. Though, since Gundam X came first, im pretty sure we should be calling them Garrod Shades
@@vel0xraperio
Yes. The whole thing is astonishngly well done.
The SRA was smart enough to know if they made their Colony laser orbit the Earth any where there was a line of sight to the moon, a Satillite cannon could wreck it. So they always had the Earth in the way. Now the way the cannon works, you need that line of sight to the moon, then a clear shot at the target. So the suit has to be in the corner of a 90% angle. Which is too far away for the Gundam to target by itself, he had to sync with Pala's G-Falcon for a spotter.
But for me the real insane thing is how good his shot placement was. First Shot is wide because it's a warning shot. Second shot does minor damage to the colony laser, proving, yes he's accurate at that range, he's not bluffing, and he can fire far more rapidly than the X's. Third shot cores the thing, and at this point Pala's taking Tifa away, so he's not getting fed data anymore.
@@kakarot197 Im on episode 17 of X and so far Garrod does not nearly impress me as much Domon, Setsuna, or Mikazuki
"Which Gundam is the strongest" is an argument that usually involves the qualifier "Not counting the Turn-A," since there's kind of a gap between a machine that can end civilization and everything else. (Also, it's kind of amusing to see a lot of beam cannons from the UC are so low in output; we've experimental lasers in real life with several terawatts output.)
I think the output is just from them guessing based on numbers at the time, similar to how movies in the 90s thought that having a certain amount of GB in the 50-100 range is a lot of data when most computers and phones can handle that easily now.
Nope. Turn A now has been dethroned. The strongest is Unicorn now. Turn A only has nanomachines that ended civilization. Meanwhile Unicorn has space warping powers. It can disable anything it regard as weapons so that means the MLB.
Oh and its spacewarping is so powerful that it has the potential to collapse the entire universe. I'm not joking. The author of Gundam UC Harutoshi Fukui states this. The reason for Gundam Narrative to exist is to showcase just what would happen if Psychoframe tech gets used by the wrong person. It is simply too dangerous that they cannot let anyone, even the good guys use it because the cost for one single mistake would be too high. Meanwhile GN Drives and MLB can't even destroy a planet.
@@secondsein7749 You'd think, but:
1) The NT-D has been stated to specifically target Newtype weaponry; psychoframe and psycommu systems. It doesn't register anything else, so the Butterfly wouldn't trip it since it's not reliant on Newtype tech. (And honestly, crossover material makes me wonder just what shows up on those kinds of systems with the Turn-A; it never gets a reaction from ALICE of the S and Ex-S Gundams or the Blue Destiny's EXAM system either, when by all rights both ought to go completely ballistic around the Turn-A.)
2) The Unicorn warping space is *apocryphal*, unfortunately; it's mentioned in an interview, but nowhere else; it's also stated to be specific to the crystalized version of the Unicorn seen in the animation, and we don't actually get it doing any of what Fukui claimed it could. (The novels have it pull something closer to the Axis Shock after tanking a blast from -Gryps-.) Sunrise and Bandai-Namco, methinks, probably squashed that for the simple sake of continuity. F91 and V Gundam take place after Unicorn in the Universal Century timeline, and both were produced well before it. I will give the Phenex the ability to warp space, but that's more "sheer speed and physics" than anything else.
While I would put Unicorn a close second to the Turn-A in terms of power and durability (again, the novels have it *tanking a shot from Gryps*), what Fukui claims it can do and what it canonly seems capable of are two very different things. The Turn-A still takes the edge, and I'll happily admit it's not the largest edge.

@@secondsein7749 "Turn A only has nanomachines that ended civilization." Clearly does not know about Black History Turn A.....
I personally think the GN drive is the most overpowered single piece of technology in the Gundam multiverse.
It can power mobile suits, or battleships.
It can work as a means of propulsion
It can harden armor to resist weapons fire, or work as means for high vibration physical weapons.
it can act as a catalyst for weapons fire
it can be tuned to work as an energy shield
It can function as a radio wave jamming system
...
It can facilitate human evolution
it can work as a communication medium between species
it can work as a FTL drive system
The GN drive can do almost anything you want ... and I don't think this is a complete list.
Honestly (other than G Gundam) the only suits that could possibly match it are the Unicorn variations, though those are dependent on the pilot's newtype abilities. I would put the Phenex slight above the Qan[T] due to sheer reality warping powers, though we never really saw the Phenex ever use it's full power so take this with a grain of salt.
To be fair, most of those uses are directly related to the GN Drive's status as a virtually unlimited energy source.
@@lorzon Which in and of itself is busted AF!
I always believe if they make posible synchronize 3 gn drives in 1 mobile suit that think will be a new god
GN drive is also an omni-propulsion device. One of the key point why GN drive is so powerful, is that you can just stick a GN drive to MS and it can move up down left right front back sideways without needing to add thrusters or propulsions. You can add direction to make it faster, but in general Its literal psychic movement for a Gundam and cheat out conventional designs. No wonder most of the people in Build Fighters and Build Divers series, usually use 00 design’s as one of the base because GN Drive and Trans-Am are stupid powerful.
And to add bonus points, its technically renewable energy too lol
10:42 Screen- shows Sazabi

It's been a long day lol.
I always liked the twin buster rifle used the Wing Zero Gundam.
I think separate are equal or stronger then the magnum of the unicorn
Agreed it was able to blow away colonies in a single shot
The twin buster rifle became more overpowered, with the addition of the drei zwerg(german for 3 dwarfs). For reference, Heero in the Gundam Wing(EW) fired his buster rifle with drei zwerg attached, that wipe out a battalion of Virgo MDs and their carriers. What's impressive, is that the beam even reached outer space. So imagine how powerful Wing Zero's TBR with the drei zwergs.
@@alanruiz9296 it is. but even tho its called a rifle its more like a mega particle cannon. its power is good but its area of effect is what makes it special. there are other stronger MPC than it. but they are not as easy to aim or control.
@@sangheilicommander1056 they are easy to use because they are riffles, size and form factor is why are classified as riffle, no for what they do, the magnum is almost a beam bazooka limit powerful shoots with a lot of recoil, but is a riffle cause the form and size
I will always have a soft spot for Wing Zero's twin buster rifle. Not only was it the first insanely powerful F U gun I saw in Gundam. It was also the reason I dub the Wing Zero Custom the Angel of Fire. That's not mentioning all the add ons they did in Glory to The Losers where they made it an even more insanely powerful F U gun.
wow late to the party but glad to see wing zero getting love here as for my 2 cents on the whole takes down a colony vs the bunker first and foremost in space there would be no resisting forces for ZERO to deal with secondly you cannot fire such a powerful weapon with out drawbacks in earth the gravity on top of ZERO being heavily damaged makes alot of sense. and unlike most if not all the beam rifles in grandam the twin buster rifle in WING ZEROS hands can not only be fired as one weapon or in shots but can be continuous fire mode in both narrow and wider beams
@@shiroken0 To be fair I think they made it as such to illustrate what the Gundam scientists were saying about the dangers the Wing Gundam Zero posed. Not only in a novice's hand like we saw With Trent. But in the hands of an outstanding pilot as we saw with Heero and Duo. At least with the Zero System it wasn't a mass producible weapon system like some of the others we've seen in the franchise. Looking at you Gundam X, I love you but you're still guilty.
@@deathscthye02 it was the combination of the twin buster rifle and zero system that made wing zero so dangerous
@@jakealter5504 The Zero system made every suit it was installed on especially deadly. The Virgo mobile dolls are a prime example. They were tough to beat with their normal programing however, when combined with the Zero they were nearly unstoppable.
@@deathscthye02 I agree, I was just saying that the combination of the twin buster rifle and zero system was devastating since the pilot could easily destroy a colony on accident if they get overwhelmed by the zero system
The genius part with the Silver Bullet Suppressor having exchangeable hands is basically a reminder that Banagher is NOT part of the Federation anymore, but with ZEON now. So it makes perfect sense that they couldn't just build a mobile suit that straight up handles the recoil blast of the magnum. Simply put, they couldn't make something so powerful with the Federation going all EYES on Zeon again and of course, since the Vist Foundation had so many Silver Bullets and are TECHINICALLY stripped down Doven Wolfs by Anaheim, it wouldn't surprise me if these guys were premium sold items.
What does having a dumb design have to do with Zeon.
I don't think the federation could either, the unicorn mobile suits were vist foundation projects, said projects data was deleted at the start of the unicorn series.
@@MusicFan752
actually Vist foundation members controlled AE, the ACTUAL manufacturer of the RX-0 prototypes (Unicorn, Banshee and Phenex), Unicorn (RX0-1) was "given" to Vist foundation at Side 7 for "testing". BUT, AE and the Federation held the Banshee and Phenex for their own testings... Banshee was with the AE or part of the Federation AE had the capacity to order around, while the Phenex was being tested by the feds alone (who put a newtype pilot to be the test subject/"pilot" who caused it to go AWOL once the ghost in the machine that was said pilot went wild in the middle of the Unicorn incident, only to then disappear during the NT Narrative incident....
basically with ALL 3 test prototypes running wild, being hickjacked, pilots losing control or getting out of control whilst inside said MSs.... including one KIA test pilot HAUNTING the damn machine to the point of taking control of it... no WONDERS ANYONE, be Federation, Sleeves or AE themselves (after most of the Vist family members controlling it were "ejected" from the company after Unicorn incident) would STEER away from MAKING another RX0 type gundam.... if all test units had ALL those problems, the only conclusion is to consider the machine unsuitable for production, no less the Jestas being still so costly despite the MANY downgrades from the RX0 prototype baseline it was quickly discontinued.
@@MusicFan752 I mean it was the whole point why ECOAS was sent there in the first place, though this is where the weird fine print of the UC Project comes into play. While the Vist Foundation spearheaded the project, it was more of a collaborative effort from both the Federation and Anaheim at the beginning, THEY built the Unicorns, what the Vist Foundation did was make sure that the Federation couldn't use the La+ Program and that any tests regarding it were to be destroyed. Along with the fact that they were just going to hand Unicorn over to Neo Zeon.
Anaheim/vist still have capacity and the only that has mean to make unicorn type gundam. But if banagher is show up piloting mobile suit that has Unicorn technology that mean Minerva faction and Anaheim/vist broken the deal with federation. It may cause Anaheim under federation scrutiny once again and reconsidering Minerva faction as enemy. Something that Minerva and banagher want to avoid.
The same thing applied with federation. If they show up using any technology from Unicorn, it may give Minerva faction justification to reactivate Gundam unicorn unit 1

@@chunchunmaru07 Exactly this! The "contest" between Turn A and 00 Qan [T] / ELS Qan [T] (and more recently the Unicorn) often comes up, but IMHO it doesn't even exist ... or make sense. Of course it's tempting, because Gundam overall falls more into the "real robot" genre than "super robot" and there's always some more or less well thought out technobabble and clearly defined limitations and thus the franchise lends itself to comparisons.
However those three suits simply left the science-fiction genre and mixed aspects of super-robots, science-fantasy and basically-it's-magic into their design. Also we don't see them using their full potential like ... ever? Because that's part of the narrative: They are so powerful, that fully using them would defy all storytelling ... at least when the entire story so far was built up on a mostly-science-fiction / real robot setting.
@@First-Name_Last-Name Ironic that the God Gundam isnt even included.
The GP02 was one of the first UC suits which had a tunable beam saber backed directly my it's reactor. That continued to the Nu Gundam which surprised Char in the Sazabi.
Glad there was no mention of Psychoframe BS... I mean the Phenex's Armed Armor DEs. Those have NewTypes BS capabilities of suppressing several gigatons with of energy set off by the NZ-999 II. Probably the most powerful "defensive" weapon in UC.
Banagher really had something going with the Silver Bullet considering you can *reload* the arms, but considering how often Banagher is shooting the Beam Magnum, it makes me wonder if Banagher just has a surplus of arms sitting in the hanger and how much all those said arms cost.
i mean even if he ran out of silver bullet/doven wolf arms, im sure he could fit on arms from older suits as well. God knows there's enough Barzam spares lying around, heh.
Engineer: "You know it'd be more economical if you just use a regular beam rifle. Hell, you could supe it up to give it more kick and it'd still be under budget."
Banagher: "Beam Magnum."
Engineer: "You use up an E-pak with every shot!"
Banagher: "Beam Magnum."
Engineer: "You need to have _four_ extra arms just to use each one!"
Banagher: "Beam Magnum."
Engineer: "... could we at least upgrade the arm a little bit?"
Banagher: "... hmm?"
(I swear, for a guy who didn't like to kill people he sure loved using a weapon that could kill people by just _breathing_ in their general direction)
Huh. That could actually be the reason that the Garencieres Junior only carried the one mobile suit. It needed the room for all the extra arms needed by the Silver Bullet Suppressor.
Silver bullet extra arm kinda dumb considering prior silver bullet banagher use gundam mk2 with doben wolf hand and can shoot beam magnum with no issue
@@RePhantomz The Gundam Mk.II was outdated so it was never gonna last. Also, the arm itself looks very strapped on and easy to damage. Say a bullet grazed one of those pipes that's jotting out. Arms is instantly weakened and at worse disabled which prevents the Beam Magnum from being used. I also imagine the size makes it difficult to move around with. Knowing that, the replaceable arms gimmick is the smarter solution.
I would also like to make an honorable mention to the G-Self Perfect Pack - outfitted with beam deflection capability, omnidirectional lasers, and, oh, just casually, ANTIMATTER PHOTON TORPEDOES. At least the Moonlight Butterfly left you with sand - these things literally annhilate!
But the biggest drawback of the G-Self Perfect Pack is the fact that it still uses power from a photon battery. The features and the output may be insane but the battery drain rate is also insane. In the far future, THERE ARE ONLY BATTERIES TO POWER EVERYTHING, WTF!
W you sorry but I’m sorry you
@@freedom4651 what Gundam or MS is this from? G no Reconquista?
@@andrehashimoto8056 Yes. From G-Reco.
@@freedom4651 It was a very conscious choice to switch to only using photon batteries.
The thing about Banagher's custom Silver Bullet needing extra arms may have something to do with INCOM system which compromised its structural integrity. The Doven Wolf had to stick its mega launcher to its chest to handle the recoil of a comparable weapon after all.
And Banagher have another custom mobile suit and that is Gundam mark II with double right hand to overcome the recoil of beam magnum
…oh wow. I had a feeling he was the “mystery” pilot flying that broken ass Silver Bullet Suppressor around.
The Beam Magnum can't be handled by any other MS besides the Unicorns themselves. The Delta Plus broke its arm with a single shot and the Silver Bullet Suppressor is also an example.
But in the Return of the Lion manga, Banagher modified a Gundam Mk-II's arm by sticking two Doven Wolf arms together with a hydraulic mechanism that enables the arm to withstand the recoil without breaking in every shot.
@@EXADragaon Now that you mentioned that, It's strange how the Suppressor only replaces its forearm with each shot when the recoil affect the shoulder as well.
Perhaps those thrusters on the forearms help mitigate the recoil somewhat and that only using one pair of thrusters can counteract the Beam Magnum's recoil but a single forearm unit cannot handle the forces that well, that's why Banana used two strapped together on his Mk-II.
Edit: apparently The Mk-II was made before the Suppressor. I guess having replaceable forearms is better than basically strapping 2 full arms together.
Honorable Mention: The Beam Rifle
People often tend to forget that just a simple Beam Rifle plus a decent pilot and mobile suit can easily take out a fleet of ships and base with good aim.
It depends partially on the armor of the ships, the power output of the rifle, and how many shots it has
@@jakealter5504 I mean yes. But it's a big target with multiple areas where it can be easily destroyed. Just shooting the bridge is enough to disable most battleships. After that just aim center mass and you'll probably hit something that will make the whole thing explode whether that be the ammo storage or the generator powering it. Char didn't say "Is that mobile suit equipped with a battleship-class beam cannon?!" for no reason.
Dishonourable mention is the zida
Sinanju playing with the General Revil comes to mind
Destroying ships in gundam isn't really an achievement considering those giant coffins blow up just by scratching the window panels of the bridge.
Beam Magnum- destroy a mobile Armor in a single shot
Twin Buster Rifle- vaporize a colony in a single shot
Its probably somewhat lesser in MW power than a FAZZ cannon mentioned here. Because you know, its smaller by comparrison.
Facts
@@BeyondDaX Potentially but Wings beam weapons seem to be based on raw plasma rather than minovsky particle generation. How exactly the two takes on it compare is hard to say.
Didn’t the Unicorn shoot its way out the remains of a space colony cylinder when it was fighting the Sinanju? Couldn’t it do the same to a whole one?
To be fair, the UC is not exactly the kind of timeline where people can just go around shooting at space colonies considering they’re usually not filled with just bad guys who shoot at birds, reapers, dragons, desert commanders, and gun toting circus performers.
Twin Buster Rifle didnt vaporise an entire colony, it's more like it pierced through it and destroyed it inside out.
I wish there was a documented output rating for the satelite cannons. According to Gamore, the Double X holds the record for farthest gundam sniper. The max range of the cannon is unknown but Garod hit a colony laser with it 370,000 km away. The beam still trampled the target which suggests it can still hit farther.
Well, you also have to consider what the practical range for targeting is. Heck, at that range, you're possibly going to run into the issue of light speed transmission delay from your forward observer.
Theoretically, If you mean travel range in an “empty space,” then it will absolutely travel in the direction that it was fired forever without anything stopping it until something intercept its path.
@@ezon725 You could interpret it as how far the beam would go before dissipating.
I absolutely love how you ended it with the Gundam Hammer, though I am surprised you didn't make grenades their own category. Probably wouldn't have made for an interesting addition, but a part of me is curious.
This makes me appreciate a lot of the gunpla in the Build series more because they took weaknesses of some iconic weapons and made them much stronger like Maoh making his custom X be able to use solar power if the moon isn't in sight. It was like the designers and writers looked at these old suits and went "Okay, so how do we make it better without making it something completely new?"
If I recall correctly, the wing zero's hands/arms had a direct connection to it's power plant as well. This is what allowed it to use it's twin buster rifle and it's beam sabers to fight vs Epyon. Also a bit shocked on how lowly rated wing zero's power plant was when I looked it up at a few places.
Oddly enough, in games, wing/zero's buster rifle is one of the OP weapons. I'm looking at you SD Gundam games.
This fact is highlighted in Endless Waltz actually. The moment before that final shot on the bunker when they give you the cockpit view, you can see the various bits of data, which includes reactor connection and power outputs for the twin buster rifle.
@@kivulifenrir Its power outage is rather inconsistent since the TBR while it can annihilate colonies doesn't seem to be strong enough to penetrate a nuclear bunker without literally tearing itself apart due to the recoil of the weapon itself.
@@BeyondDaX I think it's not that inconsistent. If I'm not wrong, firing TBR at full power has negative effect on wing zero integrity so heero only firing TBR full power only at large target and if situation demand so.
And because how colony constructed, TBR has easy time destroying colony compared to nuclear bunker that has many layer of reinforced protection.
@@BeyondDaX it only tore itself apart after a duel with Altron, atmospheric re-entry, crashing into a lake, and being submerged at the bottom of said lake for who knows how long. The frame was already compromised.
Hard to say how it would've fared if it were in peak condition.
Glad to see 00 on here... the 00 Qan[T] was super powerful in DW Gundam Reborn.
Still a shame that OO Qan[T] never sortied with its Full Saber weapon loadout
@@thespikeheadboy3164 I completely agree. The Full Saber version is one of my favorites! I built the Gunpla version, such a great modification.
@@thespikeheadboy3164 i mean it never really needed it since the GN sword V is already super powerful enough. The full saber is only made to support the syncing of the GN drives just like the 0 raiser but since the drives were made for each other they were already at perfect sync.
P.S. surprised he included the the GN sword iii instead of the GN sword V since the GN sword V is like the GN sword iii but better
@@shockbladezed1871 stuff buffs it though if I'm not mistaken
@@kaiserstorm886 if you mean the gn sword bits from the gn shield then yes, but those are officialy part of the GN sword V
One I think is - sort of - missing here is the Gundam 00 Quan[T]. It has the same overpowered GN sword as the 00 but with an even higher output. One could also argue it has the best funnel/bit weapons in the franchise as well if you consider their sheer versatility - serving as remote weapons, a powerful shield, a magnifier for the Quan[T]'s GN beam weapons, and as a quantum teleporter = all at whatever insane output the Quan[T] was capable of.
People forget the fact that 00 quantum can teleport to another galaxy which is like billions and billions of light years away you’re gonna need a lot of power just to do that
And now it is merged with Els. Easy contented for #1
People also need to consider the Rifle/Pistol/Holster bits of the Zabanya, they can combine to fire one or more large beams. Also their combined firepower exceeds that of the Strike Freedom.
I'm surprised at the lack of mention of Wing Zero's twin buster rifle. Which famously blew up an entire colony with a single shot. Additionally, if the original Wing's buster rifle is anything to go by, it can be used with at least some of its power by a normal mobile suit like a Leo (which was shown using the original Wing's buster rifle to its normal effect). It may well be that the Wing Zero's "Zero System" ended up unintentionally for the most part serving as a limiter by guiding the pilot not to use it at full power in most circumstances.
G Gundam had a literal "power of friendship" beam too, it was the Erupting Shuffle Alliance Attack.

4:39 I want this as a gunpla SO bad
I so do agree with you 1/144 or 1/100 I do not care which
The thing I always appreciate about seed series that often being overlooked was, damn I'm a glad they make beam color-coded the norm.
I'd like to add to this the sound design of the weapons all around, everything in the seed series had a great sound to it so you could also identify weapons by the sounds they made.
CE would've been THE best gundam series had it not been for the scriptwriter and director (wife and husband, respectively) screwing about. Them getting called out on it just made the wife lash out on the entire production team. She was so petty that she destroyed the entire thing and that's why we have such a crappy SEED Destiny.
Even though Gundam 00 restored the original Destiny timeline, it was of a different rendition of the gundam universe. Imagine, having another series and video games being closer to the source material than the canon. Oh, wait. this seems like the norm nowadays.
@@wanderingbufoon so what? Dude my comment is about color-coded beam ray. Stop bringing story this writer that. I don't care.
Robot is cool, the original strike gundam design for me is just perfect, that's all to it for me.
I don't care about your robot politics.
@@reisawatariX3 I'm saying that the series actually offered more had it not been for the sabotage.
"robot politics"
you're the one pushing onto that idea.
I was just giving a backstory.
The only one that SEED and Destiny gave us was basically the first part of SEED.
The rest had to be reused to finish because the scriptwriter got sick then became a massive bitch.
So we were robbed of the 2nd part of SEED and the entire Destiny.
@@wanderingbufoon I agree. Seed has basically the best potential out there. It's conflict is the bloodiest because it is literally between two genetically different humans. So the reasoning that "strip away the nationality, religion and skin colour, you'd find that we are all the same," can't be used anymore because one side is physically different from the other.
It also has the most real world accurate tech and that says a lot considering 00 was supposed to be our direct future instead of the other others that are alternate timelines. A lot of it based on real world science such as the PSA is based on reactive armor, different weapons for different purposes (normal beams lose power underwater so they have to use other weapons) and hard science (such as their Dragoons couldn't be used in atmosphere).
Heck, while people would say CE tech is weak due to using batteries, but that's because it is the answer to the often plothole inducing, walking WMD of the nuclear reactors. Seriously, those thing function depending on the plot. Sometimes they got shot in the chest and don't explode with nuclear force, or they do for plot purposes.
And yes you are right, all those potential got wasted by the directors that didn't fully understand what they had. Seriously, the director didn't even know that positron cannons shoot anti-matter and therefore, it would be impossible for Mu to survive the shot from Dominion.
It's a tragedy really.
The Satellite Cannon from Gundam X is by far one of my favorite weapons in the Gundam universe. Seeing the clips from Gundam X left me in awe of the power it can output, and then seeing it fully in action with Mao from Build Fighters using it in his own version... Très magnifique!
The other reason I love the TSC is because it has an actual drawback of needing the moon making it much more impactful when it can be used.
The Love Love Burning Fingger Thingy with the king of hearts was both hilarious and gave me nightmares when I was a kid
“The undefeated Gundam hammer!”
Gogg: “Am I a joke to you?”
This just proves the superiority of the Gogg.
special mention: the Colony Destroyer and Plasma Diver Missile. pretty much the nuke equivalent in Gundam Age. but the destructive power is cranked up to eleven. (can be equipped to a mobile suit)
7:55 You can't deny that listening to that sound just sends chills down your spine. I'll admit the twin buster rifle is probably stronger, but the beam magnum is _iconic._
15:30 I love how he used Eden's Zero as the defacto "Power of friendship" since that's how the manga runs (though sometimes it subverts that trope).
If you didnt mention Eden's Zero I almost mistook it as Fairy Tail. I mean their designs are technically the same with a different colour scheme. BTW Eden's Zero season 2 is out now.
i think when it comes to beam rifles the wing zero's twin buster rifle is both stronger and more practical than the beam magnum, that thing could literally 1-shot a colony, didn't run on cartridges and you can split the thing so you have 2 very powerful and relatively easy-to-handle rifles, i've even seen people comparing it to the twin satellite cannon because of its sheer power where the consensus is that the TSC is more powerful but the TBR is more maneuverable/versatile, no wonder the 5 scientists decided to downgrade the thing
TBR not really that versatile. If I'm not wrong, because TBR feed directly into wing zero reactor it capable shot multiple times but it also has negative effect into unit integrity.
Because of that, even though wing zero capable firing full power TBR continuously heero rarely do that. He always takes time between shot and never at full power. Weirdly enough endless waltz is the only time it shown firing TBR at full power without limiter badly affected wing zero integrity (granted wing zero already damaged)
@@yoshuasidharta4685 Well, I doubt EW Wing Zero was even using full power. Since a full power shot can 1 shot an ENTIRE colony. While in EW, it's a mere bunker. But Wing Zero's damaged state cause to only fire it with limited output since the recoil from one full power shot can tear the suit apart. But even when not full power, the TBR still pack enough punch. And Heero not using full power all the time may stems from the fact that he doesn't want to kill needlessly after he accidentally killed twice.
tho its called a rifle i would have classed it as a mega particle cannon. its more in line with ZZ head beam than unicorns rifle.
@@yoshuasidharta4685 The TBR has a variable power setting. making it the perfect in between of Beam Magnum and Twin Satellite Cannon. It doesn't go as high as the TSC, but I think for the most part it has more than enough power for most things you would need it for.
@@Jeikobu And the TBR became even more overpowered in the Glory Of Losers manga, with the addition of the drei zwergs. Heero in the Gundam Wing(EW) shot his Buster Rifle with drei zwerg attached. The beam wiped out a battalion of Virgo MDs and their carriers in a single shot. What's crazy, is that the beam was shown reaching outerspace. If the Buster Rifle became more powerful because of the drei zwerg, imagine how powerful TBR is with the drei zwerg
No love for the GP02's Atomic Bazooka? Or the Wing Zero's Twin Buster Rifle?
Atomic Bazooka does fall under Nuclear weapon category but sadly the Windam with Nuke Launcher beats by numbers
@@MaxHDAvenger Yea plus the Atomic Bazooka is limited on ammo while the Nuke Launcher can be reuse by fitting it with new nukes. Also the GP02 was stolen with only two nuke loaded so it has to be conservative on ammo.
@@CaptainIchimaruGin It's a single nuke and the booster shell of the bazooka.
The one Gundam that comes to mind who can easily brush off the Moonlight Butterfly, other than the G-Gundam since those things are something else entirely, is the ELS Qan[T]. The ELS are not technology but living metal. They'd 'eat' the nanomachines.
Honestly it'd be a three-way between Qan[T], Phenex, and Turn A. Though I'd probably give it to Phenex by just a little because it can actually warp space on a large scale. Qan[T] essentially quantum jumps from place to place and Turn A can destroy all machines but isn't actually a reality warper.
Since G-Gundams are technicly technology too i guess you mean Master Asia and Domon as those two can battle mobilesuits with their own fists xD
@@TheAzureGhost Except if you put them in space. They are boned. Mind you, those G fighters are made for ground combat primarily.
@@andrewowens4421 but the Qan[T] is too fast for the phenex react and do something, I think the 3 RX0 can do the same the only difference is the pilot, but the Qan[T] can be used by any and with time the trans am will make u a Innovator
@@BeyondDaX not really,in thr last 2 episodes of g Gundam we had pretty much every gundam fight in space against the devil gundam,they preformed pretty well
Its important to mention that the DX's Twin Satellite cannon managed to destroy an island, a solid landmass, not a hollow colony. That's some serious firepower.

I'm surprised you didn't include the 00 Qan[T]'s Quantum Sword in this list. Length wise, that thing is about as big as the ELS Mothership which by itself is roughly the size of the moon. Probably would have cut the thing in half if it weren't for the energy shield that ELS put up.

Cool vid, Twin Buster Rifle should've made it to the list. Will you make Top 10's for strongest Gundam and whatnot?
At least getting an honorable mention!
I feel like the arm replacement mechanism on the Silver Bullet Suppressor is more practical than people give it credit for. Since the Silver Bullet's arms are also remote weapons, when the arms are launched out, they become serious targets due to the tactical threat they pose, and are more liable to being destroyed in combat. Because of this, arms for the Silver Bullet (and before that, the Doven Wolf) would be important replacement parts to have on hand. Due to the demand for these parts, it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to think that there would be plenty of spare Silver Bullet arms laying around.
As for retrofitting an arm dedicated to being able to fire the beam magnum, only RX-0 types have been able to handle the strain of firing them. This could be due to the psycoframe that's built into the mobile suit's frame. Developing a new arm, gaining access to the resources, equipment, and facilities required to build it, and then actually assembling it would take a huge amount of time and resources. In a sense, they'd basically have to redesign the Unicorn Gundam from scratch, or at least the arm to fire the beam magnum and the cockpit to control the arm.
With all of this in mind, creating a system that just replaces the Silver Bullet Suppressor's arms is the most time and cost effective strategy that allows a mobile suit to fire the beam magnum repeatedly in combat.
Was expecting Wing's TBR, shame it's not on it. Not even in honorable mentions.
Agreed, some of these weapons can contend or surpass it, but the twin buster rifles are still really powerful.
It technically doesn't count as a Beam Rifle.
00 Trans-am Raiser with the GN Sword II is actually more scarier given its width although the GN Sword III reduced the width in exchange of controllability
The Blue Frame custom had a Positron Cannon launcher that Gai Murakumo made workable.
The Blue Frame music at the end LITERALLY reminded me of that!
Was there any motive to not mention the Twin Buster Rifle from the Wing Zero? I mean, We are all talking about very big hitters here, and I'm under the impression the FAZZ Laser cannon covered it, but since there was no mention I got confused.
Yeah im wondering why it wasn't mentioned too unless he's planning on making a video specifically about it. If I had to guess, maybe because it's not as strong as the twin satellite cannon, however, considering the weapon requires no external power and can be fired multiple times, gives it a pretty distinct edge over the satellite cannons. (as well as the FAZZ's cannon)
The thing about the FAZZ was, didn’t the Hi Nu have an even stronger version of the weapon? With the Hyper Mega Bazooka Launcher. So strong it needed a battleship to power it and it tore through an asteroid. And I do feel, the FAZZ is stronger than the Twin Buster Rifle. But the versatility of the TBR is way higher.
I love the Beam Magnum because the reloadable ammo is the arm that fires it. When you think about it, it could save on costs too by producing lower quality arms that break easily so you don't have any structural damage to the rest of the mobile suit as opposed to an arm that's high quality and specific to that particular mobile suit.
What would be more cost-efficient: a) creating one pair of arms that can withstand hundreds of recoils, or b) making hundreds of arms that can only bear one recoil each?
Btw the answer is a.
@@공대갈-i4j the issue isn't with the arms, it's with the power of the rifle. The arm could be strong enough to withstand the recoil but it would wear on the frame due to the recoil traveling through the entire mobile suit. Thus, the frame would be damaged and the entire mobile suit left inoperable under ideal conditions. If you could make 10 disposable arms for a mobile suit at a fraction of the cost to replace an entire mobile suit while shooting a beam rifle with the force of a thousand Suns, then the most cost efficient method is B.
Informative, thought provoking... and I imagine the target of a crapton of impotent nerd rage, which I feel is a far stronger weapon than anything on this list.

I'm sad; my boy Zero's twin buster cannons didn't make the list.
Kinda sad the Twin Buster Rifle of the Wing Zero wasn't mentioned
Would say it is better than the Satellite cannon for the simple fact that it doesnt need the moon to be fired.
@@zettovii1367 plus it doesn’t have as long of a charge up time, it can either fire a burst shot (which would still be pretty powerful) or it can take around 1-2 minutes for a full power shot
not counting the Twin Buster Rifle is also a huge miss for the list, since it can literally one shot entire fleets of Armada Ships and also one shot an entire Space Colony.
The 1st setsuna use the raiser sword is really the best, a desperate move in a desperate situation. Even the enemy was sweating since it the beam come down swinging lol.
Sadly no mention of Wing Gundam Zero in either the Prototype or EW forms, also I thought the Double X could self charge the Twin Satellite Cannon but it needed help from the G-Falcon to make it somewhat reasonable and or manageable.
As best I can tell that's something from the kit manuals. We never actually see them do it onscreen, sadly.
It still boggles my mind (made worse after the Light of Life Chronicle) that the Turn A, possibly hundreds of thousands- maybe even millions of years after it's construction, STILL USES A HYPER HAMMER. Apparently Tem Ray was such a genius that a flail with rocket thrusters strapped to it was included amongst the Turn A's arsenal.
the Full Armor ZZ's hyper mega cannon was too strong, it caused Gundam VS developers to limit it to one shot per spawn initially because it can melt people in seconds and unlike DX's recharging Twin Satellite Cannon, it is available from the start of the game.
as for what weapon? i love me some GM III Defenser. the GM III shares similar backpack with Gundam Mk-II so it can still dock with the G-Defenser to create Super GM III
Can't find the official power of Unicorn Beam Magnum. But...
- ZZ double beam rifle, power rated at 21.2 MW total (2 x 10.6 MW)
- Zeta Hyper Mega Launcher, power rated at 8.3 MW.
Not sure which one is more powerful Magnum or Double rifle.
@@kvy2006 the magnum is stronger than regular beam rifles, but that's all we know.
i wasnt talking about that tho.
@@RainStorm148 If you look at the model kit, the 1/144, it says the beam magnum shoots a beam that is roughly as strong as a shot from the Mega Bazooka Launcher. It's in japanese though and I don't think the kit has a translated version.
Ah yes the moonlight butterfly when you can take the idea of the "grey goo" phenomena, a truly nightmarish concept to especially use as a weapon......and make it so damn pretty.
Hi Kakarot, nice video as always. Would really like to see you rank the most incredible things Gundam characters did for their lover/ loved ones. Personally, the most memorable one is Norris from 08 MS team, when he found out Shiro was Aina's lover, he completed his mission of taking out the tanks without killing Shiro in exchange for his own life.
And for alt universes, it's Mu La Flaga who face tanked two positron cannon shots for his beloved captain.
And please disregard Destiny... all men should. Even Patrick Duffy would agree.
The Twin Buster Rifle that Wing Zero is armed with is EASILY in the top 3 most powerful weapons. That thing wiped out an entire colony, and it wipes out armies with single shots.
You're way overexaggerating what the TBR could actually do. It can't wipe out an entire colony in a single shot, it could just cause enough damage for the colony to collapse. It can't wipe out an entire army, it could only take out a squad at best.
The way you're describing the TBR makes it sound like you're talking about the Twin Satellite Cannon, which is in this list. The TBR is strong but it is far from being a top candidate.
Also a reminder that colonies in Wing are tiny. Not really as impressive as if it were to destroy a UC sized colony.
@@REALMARCHINADERit did takes out a colony in one hit though.
@@REALMARCHINADERit actually annihilates a battlion of Virgos in GOL manga.
I'd say the twin buster rifle it's at the same level of the satellite system of the gx, but still it's sad to see that it wasn't included
They're probably equally effective when the Twin Buster's targeting precision is taken into account. But the Satellite Cannon is literally a weapon of mass destruction. It's like comparing a railgun with a nuke. They're on the same level in terms of power, but you wouldn't use them in the same circumstances. If you need to eliminate a single huge target, the Zero's TBR is ideal. If you want to wipe out an entire battlefield, the GX's Satellite Cannon can't be beat.
Add the drei zwerg on the TBR, and it makes it even more powerful. Heero in the Gundam Wing(EW) fired a shot from the buster rifle with drei zwerg attached. The shot wiped out a battalion of Virgo MDs and carriers. The beam from the buster rifle with the drei zwerg, even reached outer space. So imagine how powerful TBR with drei zwerg is.
@@vel0xraperio there’s only the downside of needing a satellite link for the satellite cannon to work, the twin buster rifle doesn’t have that problem and can still cause the same amount of damage (it would just take multiple shots)
@@jakealter5504 The G Falcon solves that problem. You can pre charge the DX three times and the Falcon will hold the charge till necessary.
@@REALMARCHINADER that limits it to 3 shots without the link, the twin buster rifle doesn’t have that limitation
When you mentioned nukes, I'm surprised you didn't talk about the Metal Gear Gundam, the RX-78GP-02a! I like to call it the Metal Gear for, I should think, fairly obvious reasons (a bipedal mech equipped to carry and launch a tactical nuclear warhead... that is the definition of a Metal Gear for those who don't know)! That and the F90N!
Glad the Buster Rifles weren't brought up, mind! Kind of sick of the Wing line right now! Although, how powerful are the Freedom's, Strike Freedom's, Justice's and Infinite Justice's railguns then?
For my custom Mk. II, I did actually want to put the Jagd Doga's Funnels on it! I came up with an upgrade from it, a much taller and heftier machine using the Commando as a base, equipped with a twin-satellite cannon and double GN Sword IIIs!
10:50 no wonder it didn't had the power to fight the Nu Gundam after taking on Bright Noa Nuclear Barrage
Just saying.... HeavyArms full burst doesn't need fancy beam or magic tech. Just bullets and propellent
I would like to see someone with the numbers and science knowledge and I know you have 00 the beam saber nod, but I wonder if the 00 Qua[T] feat of slicing into the ELS moon just out right eclipses even beam rifles in this list.
Like you have to consider, the ELS mothership was basically a small moon and Setsuna cut a pretty sizable chunk out of it and he wasn’t even directly infront of it. He had to do it a bit farther away. Like. Sure, thats something weapons like the Satelite and Buster cannons could probably do, but 00 did it with its fucking BEAM sabers.
In the movie the ELS moon is, about the size of Earth’s moon. 00 Qan[T] feat is crazy. The area of the ELS moon, the 00 Qan[T] cut was massive like maybe a continent or country size. Our own Moon is 1/4 the size of Earth.
It would be hard to calculate but supplemental information did state that the Qan[T] could have fought off all the ELS by itself because it could have ran for a straight week without rest. And considering Setsuna's newfound "evolution" before hand as a true innovator it's something that could have plausibly happened. So the Qan[T] had near _limitless_ power at it's disposal.
@@andrewowens4421 Yeah, Im sorta in the camp that 00 QanT is extremely underrated and the fact that an ELS 00 QanT exists is like mind boggling. Cause that thing could probably run circles around Unicorn.
@@TARDISES its hard to say cause time scale was 00 is probably the most futuristic set Gundam Series in the series. So just by inferring that also you add to that the highly advanced alien tech… its a toss up. I think ELS Qan[T] would probably just beat any other suit just cause of how insanely far into the future its set
more honorable mention:
Gerbera Straight
althought it looks like a normal samurai's katana, the gerbera straight is made from a rare metal that can reflect beams. Yes the gerbera straight is snapped during the fight with gold frame, the gerbera straight is remade as the 105 straight (a whopping 105 meter or 344,4 feet or 344 feet)
F91'S VSBR
the VSBR is the most iconic weapon in F91 and it makes the design of F91 unique. The VSBR have the power to penetrate beam shield and the weapon is recoilless.
unicorn gundam after banagher become a perfected newtype
If I recall it correctly, the unicorn on this moment can ended the UC timeline in a snap, I mean, it can reverse engineering the minovsky drive from the jegan itself
gundam heavyarms custom (especially the EW version, yes I know they are the same but the double gattling gun bro)
basically, more ammo more BRRRRRRR
ELS quanta
While it only appear on the final movie and the SD gundam games, the ELS quanta is theorised to even surpassed the laws of physics in anyway itself, and he can manipulate ELSs to aid him in battle, and the ELS quanta itself can be altered by setsuna mid combat itself
How could you miss the twin buster rifle of Wing Zero? Get hit by that and you're toast, no matter what you're in.
I never really understood the idea behind the beam magnum, other than it just being a cool weapon. I could understand if this was a project being undertaken by Anaheim or another manufacturer to downsize beam weapons even further, maybe with the idea of giving the weapon to interceptor or sniper machines as it has excellent power for its size. Or maybe as a project to expand the capability of e-caps to give them the ability to use all their energy in a single shot.
But in MS vs MS combat I would not have liked to use it as a pilot, I see just too many drawbacks:
- Only 5 shots per "magazine".
- If a machine is not designed from the start to support the recoil that means 99.9% of the federation's MSs cannot use it for more than 2 shots at best, so it makes it extremely niche.
- The magazines themselves do not look like standard issue e-caps, which sounds like a nightmare for ship logistics as you need a lot of space dedicated to storing spare ones because they are ejected after each shot and any MS or ship bringing spare e-caps to the frontline during a battle now needs to carry 2 types.
- The weapon is a huge friendly fire risk as the shot will go straight through almost anything and it still has more than enough energy even after hitting something.
- The charge up time between pressing the trigger and the actual shot means the enemy has more chances to change trajectory, and you have to have better marksmanship than average to land the hit.
IIRC, the Beam Magnum doesn't need to fire at maximum output, Banagher simply never chose to use the main mode, which is a Beam Rifle of standard output with each E-Pac giving standard capacity. Thus one doesn't need to carry a separate Beam Rifle and Beam Cannon, like say the Zeta Gundam does, they have one weapon that can perform both roles. In standard output the Beam Magnum has a capacity of ~75 shots (with additional E-Pac clips for reloads), but if a big punch is needed the user can simply switch to magnum mode and fire the big blasts.
@@austinowings4904 Ok that makes a lot more sense, now it sounds like a much more reasonable and versatile weapon.
Thanks for clarifying.
@@Firealchemist24 that is not true. If it really had that ability, then it would have been used. Instead bernage(or whatever his name is) used beam gatling.
Hey so you should check into what funnels system the Zabanya Gundam has in store (might make you change your mind on the funnels section of the video or not but these funnels that the Zabanya gundam uses can be used in both shield mode and assault mode)
3:32 What more do I want? Sir, have you even seen A Wakening of the Trailblazer? I want the 00 Qan[T]'s GN Sword V in Buster Mode!
Though I'm not a fan of it's anime, credit where its due, the G-Self had they best assault pack in Gundam. It has plenty of attack and defense options but the one formost in my mind is those anti-matter torpedoes that obliterate anything they come into contact with.
I would argue the Riser Sword isn't a beam saber since its just a large beam that is just a larger continuous beam attack. not to mention it took far longer to cut through the much smaller orbital cannon platform then Zech's attack on the much larger Barge.
Also where is the freaking Wing Zero's Twin Buster Rifle?? It can one shot Colonies and has multiple firing modes. or how about the Nuke used by the GP-02? it took out most of the Fed Fleet plus a big junk of Solomon.
No twin-buster rifle of the Wing Gundam Zero or the SIX gattling gun and missile launcher barrage of the Heavyarms EW? The Heavyarms EW alone could wipe out entire field armies...if the pilot didn't become a total pacifist out of nowhere.
With that said. excellent video good sir :)
heavy arms wouldnt fit the list. its allot of multiple weapons not one single power weapon. but wings is more like a mega particle and shoulda been compared to ZZ mega launcher. idk which out of those is stronger
@@sangheilicommander1056 probably the twin buster rifle, it has been shown to break colonies, has a short charge up time, and is more maneuverable
I really like how the "Giant Beam Gun" variants of weapons generally tend to have a drawback in the fact that they consume power like nobody's business.
Also the fact that majority of them have the logical super-high recoil of being a giant particle gun.
Since this list was comprised of mainly beam weaponry, it would’ve been cool to see a list that strictly only contends ballistic mobile suit/armor weaponry.
Dom Tropen and other variants' 880mm raketen bazooka?
680mm artillery gun of the Xamel?
Of course, (one of) the tops would be the GP02A's atomic bazooka.
I think he addressed that in the video. The best solid weapon gun is Dainsleif and the best missiles are nuclear missiles.
The twin buster rifle can destroy a colony with one shot...i like it better than the double x's satellite cannon because it doesnt need to be powered up...
"Remember kids: You can't be racist if the other race doesn't exist anymore" - Kakarot197 (out of context)
I kinda always wondered how powerful the Crossbone X3’s sword is, it’s used in full cloth as well and is given a nice demonstration in build divers when it was deployed and fired those beams out of the top
You forgot few weapons, and that is Atlas Railgun, Atomic bazooka GP02, Buster rifle wing Gundam, and last Moon Funnels of moon Gundam.
Atlas Railgun is strong at his own but the power still below Dainself.
Atomic bazooka is well... Nuclear weapons with power enough to destroy one colony in one shoot.
Buster rifle is you know buster rifle...
And last the most advanced funnels development by Titan group, moon funnels, almost unbreakable, can be used as shield, melee, and shoot weapon.... The most advanced funnels to this date in my opinion 🤔
A single shot GP02 bazooka shot isn't much compared to a nuclear payload of multiple nukes from a Nuclear striker pack from Seed. The moon funnels are probably around the same as the Sazabi funnels and those Titan funnels are probably not as advanced as the ones from the Hi-Nu but then again who knows.
@@BeyondDaX
Nah...
GP02 atomic bazooka is tactical nuclear warhead with fire power comparable with strategic nuclear warhead, while multi striker pack is what definition of tactical nuclear warhead. No less no more...
So in term fire power quality Atomic bazooka win, but in term power of quantity multi striker pack win.
Understand?
And there's the BIG different between funnels in nu and sazabi with funnels in moon Gundam.
And that is they can't be used as Pshiycal weapon when moon funnels can.
In term of durability also moon funnels win since it can stand explosion and beam head on. And proved with it survive against the destruction of doors Gundam with half of it reach moon moon colony along with door Gundam head.
No mention of TR-6 Inle?
@@MaxHDAvenger
Well... That one is not in term mobile suit but mobile armor.
So i can't really said one of strongest MS weapon 👀
The deep strikers mega particle cannon which was taken from a battleship too I think
Great list, but I feel you’ve missed the opportunity to make a non-energy weapon category, if only to talk more about the UNDEFEATED Gundam Hammer.
Wing zero’s duel buster rifles cough cough, when combined were supposed to have an output somewhere along the lines of a supernova, if I remember correctly
Was thinking the same thing here, would love to see the comparison.
That's patently bullshit, but it is quite powerful and I'm sad it got skipped over. Crossbone's freaking beam flintlock made it on the list.
Supernova? Not really. Its strong but but a lot of bigger beam weapons from UC can match it. Even the double X satellite cannon rivals the twin buster rifle
@@BeyondDaX yeah except the double X satellite canon is ridiculous and not a self-contained unit, The twin beam buster rifle destroyed an entire colony in a single shot as a standalone weapon
@@BeyondDaX Actually not a whole lot from UC can match it. Especially at full power. Just being fired nearby was enough to cause Leos, Aries, Taurus and even Virgos to be destoyed.
it would be nice to see a sequel video talking about physical weapons, rapidfire, maybe barrage/fire supression. maybe a video about strongest anti-MS weapons.
Got to ask you about the wing 0 buster rifle for a duel, thing took out colonies, would like to see the comparison.
And infinite shots.
the colonies in Wing are puny small, 1/3 the size of the colonies from every other universes, the Wing making a big hole and triggering a chain explosion is not an impressive feat considering a big rock could do the same.
Great video as always. Did you ever do one on 'Petite' MS? Those little ones just interest me since they could do so much even being so small. I mean they would be a terror in any urban area.
The lack of the Wing Zero's Twin Buster Rifle is disappointing.
Absolutely
I think part of the problem with the TBR is that outside of Endless Waltz and blowing up a few space colony's its power is never really really demonstrated in the series. Especially once Heero has it. He's not gonna go around blowing up cities or colonies and the like. Sure, maybe there's something to be said about the TBR being able to function while in atmospheric re-entry and still be able to have 100% accuracy AND be able to take out a target the size of a city, but...... I think weapons like the Satellite cannons showcased their destructive power better in their respective animes.
@@kyrudo If I remember correctly, Dekeem Barton mentioned the bunker being ray shielded. So that bunker has the defense power equal to the power of the Mercurius's planetory defensor(since it withstood at least 3 shots from the Wing Zero's TBR). Look at the part where the shot from the TBR hitting the bunker. You'll notice some crackling effects after it got hit
Finally, I’ve been missing videos like these so much. Also twin buster rifle, much like the epyon beam saber, the twin buster rifle had some pretty awesome moments.
Disappointing not to see mention of the Wing Zero's Twin Buster Rifle.
Wing gundam is overrated
@@RaggenZ true
The fact they brought back the OG beam rifle sound for the beam magnum just makes it that much cooler.
U forgot about wing zero buster rifle
other gundams : Hi tech weapons
G Gundam : Power of Love
Gotta love how the federation in seed was like hey you remember that time when two random guys shot down like all of our nukes let’s shoot more nukes at the guys who rendered nukes unusable for a time
I love weapons and playing unfairly, so I want them all. Except the Moonlight Butterfly. Not only is it so "OP PLS NRF!" that I'd feel wrong using it, the system is far too dangerous to be allowed to exist without a countermeasure. It's a weapon that could throw the world back to the dark ages, and those people who see technology as inherently bad are pretty much the opposite of me. I'd rather consign this foul nanotech to the sun.
What you said better describe Unicorn and maxed out psychoframe than the Turn units. Seriously, MLB can only destroy civilizations and even then it can be countered by other stuff (energy shields, stronger nanomachines etc etc). It's strong, but not that strong.
Meanwhile, Unicorn could manipulate time, disable weapons and could potentially collapse the entire universe. You think I'm joking but the creator of Gundam UC, Harutoshi Fukui himself stated this. This is the reason why Gundam Narrative exists: to show the near full potential of psychoframes and its destructive potential and why the tech needs to be stopped absolutely. The power is too strong that nobody can ever be allowed to use it, even the good guys so they decided to seal it for good. The seal the tech so well that the future never get to use psychoframe to Unicorn level anymore.
@@secondsein7749 Jesus Christ tap dancing on a battleship...
Remember when Gundam wasn't an edgy super robot show?
As a special mention also, the Unicorn and Phenex doing the psycho time reversal thing would be akin to the special moves from G Gundam.
That’s less a weapon and more total bullshit.
double cannons but doesnt mention wing zeros double beam cannons being able to just delete space stations and potentially colonies (same w the talgeese 3 mega cannon)
The tallgeese 3 mega cannon is probably around the same or lesser output power with that the head mounted mega particle cannon from full armored ZZ gundam.
10:23 made me laugh so hard 💀
Was the Wing Zero twin Buster cannon not on this list
Surprised that the GN Bits from the Zabanya didn't make the honourable mentions section for remote weapons, those things when combined together created some extremely impressive blasts in the film.
I always liked the F91, but dawg, you forgot Wing Zero’s buster rifle
