Yes, Banshee is also another Unicorn Gundam. So you can say Banshee and Unicorn are like siblings.

Phenex is the main objective of Earth Federation's Phenex hunt, as shown in the movie Gundam Narrative which takes place 1 year after the Laplace Incident.

There is a game called Gundam Battle Operation 2, where you get to pilot all of the mobile suits that you see in this video(two expectations are the Kshatriya Besserung and the Kshatriya repaired, don't know why though...).

The costs go from 200 to 700 in increments of 50. An example of power scale would be Zaku II Level 1 is a 100 cost mobile suit. while the Gundam Unicorn Level 1 is a 700 cost mobile suit.

7:20 The gun on the Banshee is a prototype call the "Beam-Smartgun". It transmits spatial data obtained from the built-in sensor unit to the pilot via Psycommu, then feeds those sensations back into the two fin-shaped beam polarizers at the front for highly accurate "anticipatory aiming". The weird way it fires is due to the psycoframe shifting the field around the beam causing it to curve which allows the pilot to catch most enemies off guard. and the claw is the 'Vibration Nail" which is a set of sharp blade appendages designed to vibrate at high frequencies to easily cut through most mobile suits.

at Time 11:18 one of you asked if that was a force field, it was. The space station behind the Unicorn was being targeted by a super weapon, a Colony Laser. A Colony Laser is taking the main body of a space colony and converting the entire cylinder section into a barrel for a laser cannon. Using the power of the Unicorn in fully awakened mode, the three I field generator shields it controlled using psychokinesis, and the Banshee they were able to stop the attack, one that would normally wipe out entire fleets and a good portion of a space fortress.
@@WadeWadeReacts For some reason my previous comment does not show up properly. This is a repost of it: It was a way to get around the "Antarctic Treaty", a treaty that banned the use of nuclear weapons and dropping of colonies on Earth. The Colony Laser was powered by solar array panels, massive numbers of them. The Earth Federation took the solar array panels concept to its final conclusion: make the sunlight itself the weapon. The superweapon "Solar System" would use mirrors to focus all of the light from the sun into a "single" point. I say point, but it is more like a massive laser beam of doom like the colony laser. Advantage of the Solar System was that it could be fired infinitely at a targeted area, since it was deflecting sunlight only. It had the issue where the mirrors were weak to being attacked and deploying the system was an arduous task when Minovsky Particle interference was in effect. The Colony Laser had to be charged but was much easier to deploy and could withstand being attacked to some degree.
0:22 I think jegan is a really good general unit. disposeable to the main baddies and gundams sure. 0:49 Just a variant. slight propulsion improvements. it's generally the same thing. 1:18 budget gundam. It's definitely slower than the more modern suits. 2:25 mass (ish) production type of the zeta. Which i guess you can kinda call it a gundam because of the head. 5:57 well kinda. Using a mix of new and old mobile suits. zaku 3 I guess was alright recent. from ZZ iirc. and a reallly good zaku 5:59 Well yes EWAC variants are pretty cool. 8:28 red energy. psycoframes. material that react to newtypes. NTD were kinda made to murder them. 8:32 Green frame. Blue is really only marketted for gunpla. a different equipment variant. 9:34 Magic. "Miracle" basically using the force to push the object out of the gravitational pull from earth. same in CCA. 9:48 They were presenting the banshee loadout with the loadout that the pilot wanted back then. They did show the unicorn mode and destroy mode. This is a different pilot using different loadouts, this is banshee norn. 10:20 no winner. just mind breaks. 10:27 Green means the pilot is a newtype that can wrestle the control of the unicorn away from the NTD system and control the suit with their minds to do crazy stuff. 10:41 Their strategy was to have the unicorn basically solo the neo zeon army anyways. so give it max firepower. . . . or at least this loadout. There was a secondary option set for gunpla.
The lineage of the Zaku goes like this: Prototype Zaku 1 --> Zaku 1 -- > Zaku II --> Zaku II High Mobility type --> MS-06R-3S High Mobility Type Zaku (aka Gelgoog Early Prototype) --> Gelgoog The Gelgoog was a mass production unit that rivaled the Gundam in terms of specs and was able to use both a beam rifle and a beam naginata. It was developed at the last parts of the one year war, but there was not enough of them and not enough ace pilots left to use them. After that there was a time gap between the Gelgoog and the Zaku III, about a 9 year gap. The Zaku III was developed to be a call back to the Zaku II as well as get a very versatile mobile suit for the Zeon Forces. The Zaku III had the ability to use all sorts of different optional parts for what ever the mission needed. The Döven Wolf was its competitor and was designed to emphasis on fire power and new technology, like the new INCOM weapon. The new INCOM was a remote weapon system that a non-newtype pilot could use. The major difference between an INCOM and a newtype weapon like a funnel at that point was the INCOM had to be connected to the mobile suit by a wire, while a newer newtype weapon did not need a direct connection to the mobile suit to be controlled. The Döven Wolf also had a massive amounts of beam weapons and missiles with the inclusion of a mega beam launcher, a weapon meant to annihilate multiple mobile suits in a single shot. All of this came as standard weapons for the thing.
@@WadeWadeReacts That is correct. Only Newtypes, whether they are artificial or natural, can use funnels or weapons like them, other than INCOMs, they are controlled by a computer. I think one of the major limitations is that an INCOMs' control wire only extends so far, while a funnel has no such limitation and can't be disconnected through physical means
At time 6:11 you talked about how you liked it. In GBO2 it was a terrifying mobile suit when it was first released. The second mobile suit(out of three right now) with a 4 hit combo melee, extra damage on downed enemies, powerful close range weapons, including a shotgun that stunned everything, etc. Its only weakness the lack of thrusters which would allow it to do more complex attacks and move quickly. Though on the other hand it was and I think still is the fastest walking mobile suit, with a walking speed that rivals mobile suits using thrusters. It got nerfed so that it was not so terrifying, but it still decent.
@@WadeWadeReacts It is to make it not broken on the release of that mobile suit, but it was still broken. People would add custom parts to add as much thrusters to the mobile suit. This made it so that while it could not dash/fly for long it could do use 2 or 3 quick bursts to allow it to do more advance melee combo techniques, which is one of the reasons why it became broken. The players essentially fixed the weakness to a manageable degree using custom parts to boost the thrusters and the shotgun was the thing that made it super broken. The shotgun just had to hit with some of its pellets to stun some one and then the player would go in for the kill for this one opening that is easy to make happen To fix this the shotgun was nerfed along with other things on it to make it more manageable.
Once again back again, So! Unicorn is a interesting one in the series as its had alot of Mobile Suits appearances and a few of them like the Efreet Schneid only appeared in side story games ( Also to note the Efreet Shneid has a long history of its own dating back to the OYW), also few bits to mentioned on some of the mobile suits that they shown here: - The Jegans shown here are of the D Type a more updated variant from the Jegan in Char's Counterattack. - The Zaku series did have a decent production line all the way up to the Zaku IV a rather large fella. - The Sinanju is technically a Gundam Type, it was made under the Federation but the two Sinanju Suits that they made were "stolen" by Neo-Zeon. -On the section of Beast the Banshee there has been modified quite a bit which also included a new weapon loadout hence its called the Banshee Norn instead of just Banshee. - Whenever a Unicorn Type enters Destroy Mode any Funnel Weapon Type are pretty much hijacked and turned against their master, the Destroy Mode is called Newtype Destroyer.
Okay so what you both call a Zaku is the Zaku II and by the time of Unicorn has been discontinued for about 16 years due to Zeonic the company that made the Zaku I and Zaku II having first developed better Mobile Suits with the Gouf and Gelgoog then was absorbed into Anaheim Electronics after the One Year War with all remaining Zaku I and Zaku II units being either demilitarized collector pieces, Museum pieces, or in the hand of soldiers from Zeon that were left on Earth or in space when Zeon lost the war. Neo Zeon is made up of forces from the Republic of Zeon which was what the space colonies the made up Zeon became after the war. The Banshee and Banshee Norn are the same Mobile Suit just with different equipment as the Banshee has the Armed Armors BS and VN which are the Beam Smartgun on the right had and Vibrating Nail on the left while the Banshee Norn has the Armed Armor DE which is the Defense Extension plus the video did show the Banshee in Unicorn Mode along with the video showed only two Mobile Armors which are the Shamblo and Neo Zeong. Unicorn due to it's short length has a smaller number of Mobile Suits than the average UC show besides the original.
The Zaku III is the less popular linage to carry the deign. In unicorn, the Geara Zulu is basically the official Zaku Mobile suit for unicorn Gundam. Also, there were two pilots for the Banshee, and the pilot that was in the Delta Gundam did survive and ended up piloting the Banshee after the original pilot for the Banshee went back to using the NZ-666 Kshatriya which is the big green mobile suit you guys like. The battle between the NZ-666 Kshatriya and Banshee has the same pilot from the delta and his name is, Riddhe Marcenas. Lastly, the pilot of the Kshatriya is, Marida Cruz, also being the original pilot of the banshee before she was killed by Riddhe, now in the banshee since the Kshatriya repair type doesn't compare to the Banshee. :) (Edit: Also the glowing color you see under the unicorn's armor when it transforms is called psycho plate. The psycho plate allows New-Types to be able to pilot machines with less hassle, which can vary, but in the unicorn's case once destroy mode is activated, it is almost completely controlled by Banagher's emotions and his wishes. The psycho plate isn't always visible like in the case of the unicorn, meaning that the Psycho plate doesn't completely run through the whole inner frame of the Gundam. For example, the Sinanju, Sazabi, and Nu-Gundam all have Psycho frames in them to lessen the burden of controlling these machines and the intense maneuvers they have to control.)
@ yeah a simple example of phsyco plate would be on the narrative gundam, because unlike the unicorn the narrative was built as a testbed for the nu-gundam and didn’t come outfitted with a psycho frame so later, they had to attach psycho plate onto it.
I love Gundam Unicorn. The Unicorn Full Armor is my first gunpla. The RG version. Gundam Unicorn is an OVA series. It only has 7 episodes. Each episodes have 1hr length. They're like Animated films that's why it has nice animation quality for it's age. The only thing that makes it hard to suggest, is it happens after: Gundam 0079, Gundam Zeta, Gundam ZZ, and Char's CounterAttack movie.
@@WadeWadeReacts Yeah, eventhough it's 1hr per episode, it is kinda short when you binge it. Also, the story is meant as an epilogue to Char's Counter Attack if you're wondering. The Psycho Frame technology originated from that movie.
Well the beam resistance isn't really a thing for armor. I think there was anti beam coating at the time but it's not something that I would trust in. The Unicorn's shields have I-Feild generators in them, which is kind of an energy shield, but the real thing is the whole thing is made out of Psycho-Frame. Psycho-Frame allows a person's brain waves to be transferred into machine code. In more practical terms it allows Newtypes to control the mobile suit like it's their own body (which is why you see pilots take their hands off the controls when the NTD activates) and newtype weapons like funnels. Most mobile suits that use Psycho-Frame use it only in the cockpit which is why the NZ-666 Kshatriya cockpit is glowing at 9:00. That's also why her funnels stopped working when Links activated the NTD. He overwhelmed the Kshatriya's psycommu. Which is terrifying. The other thing the Psycho-Frame does is basically magic. There are a lot of times where a machine running Psycho-Frame does unnatural things. Like lifting impossible weight, stealing people's souls, stopping energy blast, things science can't explain. Like even the glow, nobody knows why it does that in universe at the time the Unicorn was made. So, Unicorn was built with Psycho-Frame basically to see what happened. Even the flying shield thing near the end of Unicorn. That shouldn't work. The shields have no thrusters, and the guns don't have any wireless triggering system. It only really works because Banagher is willing it to work.
@@WadeWadeReacts Yeah happened what? 3x now? last one was actually the Phenex which is another version of the Unicorn. Trapped the pilot's soul inside the machine so it's just flying around unmanned.
yeah, Unicorn's crazy op. It's whole deal is having the firepower of a battleship, defense of a mobile armor, speed of a mobile suit, and is Anti-Newtype. Most mobile weapons can equal it in one of those fields but not all 3 lol
The only reason you see so many suits in unicorn is because its been 20 years worth of suits, Some that you see are from the one year wars the very first gundam. That zaku 1 is 20 years old, all the remnants of zeon suits are all 20 years old and they were beating newer suits like the GM 2 and 3 that were updated until the Jesta team showed up. By Unicorn time line the Jesta is the best grunt suit but the gustove karl and Jegans are still used as common grunt units.
A lot of federation mobile suits tech jumped after one year war when they took a lot of zeon schematics, gave them to Anaheim in exchange to develop new suits and give to the new formed titans. Titans had rick Dias (Doms), hizacks (Zakus), Maasai’s (gelgoogs?) and Nemo’s (gms) developed. Titans eventually collapsed and a lot of the old mobile suits went back to feds after zeta series. so data like zeta gundam was used for the Rezels, later improved gms became jegans with their mass variants with my fave is jestas. Then delta plus is pretty much zeta + Hyaku shiki in one.
@@WadeWadeReacts feds side: jegan and jestas. zeon: of course zakus will be the go and similar units like geara doga/zulus for exm. they are pretty much the warhammer 40k soace marines (which technically games workshop may have taken idea from if look up years gundam/40k came out >.>) ppl will collect.
Red/Yellow forced activation of the Psyoframe and NT-D mode that uses the Pilot as part of the system it self. Green glow means the that a New Type pilot is direct control of the suit with bypassing NT-D mode and can do all kinds of New Type "magic". It takes a STRONG New Type with a strong will to by pass the NT-D and manually activate the Psyco Frame.
Did you want to know what the green light from Unicorns is? Here's your answer: NT-D was partly controlled by the pilot himself, because it was just a triggering mechanism, the essence is in the system of intention, if the will of the pilot was strong, he could awaken the Unicorn, the power increased to incalculable values and he could literally have magical power influencing for a time and reality, due to their strength they were supposedly mothballed, but not dismantled..
@@WadeWadeReacts The unicorn defeated one of the elite mobile suits in battle, causing the enemy to hallucinate; in one of the last episodes, due to the resonance of the psychoframe, he was able to move through time, just as when the unicorn’s psychoframe took the form of a crystal, destroying his armor, he “disassembled” it with a wave of his hand. a whole fleet, if I remember correctly, it was even mentioned in Gundam Narrative
From what I got, the awaken mode could affect objects in time and space like for the disabled ms, their reactor were ‘rewinded’ back to before they were assembled and activated, in CCA nu Gundam and char’s sazabi psychoframes allowed to move the axis asteroid but at the cost of the pilots and suits. That’s why the psychoframes weren’t used in f91 or victory, because 1) the risk they represented 2) AE was mostly the only ones that knew how to create them and they were more or less dissvoled by f91 era and the introduction of the lighter ms / formula Gundam units.
the unicorns are indeed very strong, the rifle they use (beam magnum) is powerful enough to destroy a ms even if the shot misses, while also being able to one shot the spaceships.
Gonna say, the last MS you want to use in space is the Schuzrum Gallus. The thing has zero-thrusters so if you're thrown off into space, you best hope someone can pick you up cause you're not going anywhere.

It was a way to get around the "Antarctic Treaty", a treaty that banned the use of nuclear weapons and dropping of colonies on Earth. The Colony Laser was powered by solar array panels, massive numbers of them.
The Earth Federation took the solar array panels concept to its final conclusion: make the sunlight itself the weapon. The superweapon "Solar System" would use mirrors to focus all of the light from the sun into a "single" point. I say point, but it is more like a massive laser beam of doom like the colony laser.
Advantage of the Solar System was that it could be fired infinitely at a targeted area, since it was deflecting sunlight only. It had the issue where the mirrors were weak to being attacked and deploying the system was an arduous task when Minovsky Particle interference was in effect.
The Colony Laser had to be charged but was much easier to deploy and could withstand being attacked to some degree.
0:22 I think jegan is a really good general unit. disposeable to the main baddies and gundams sure.
0:49 Just a variant. slight propulsion improvements. it's generally the same thing.
1:18 budget gundam. It's definitely slower than the more modern suits.
2:25 mass (ish) production type of the zeta. Which i guess you can kinda call it a gundam because of the head.
5:57 well kinda. Using a mix of new and old mobile suits. zaku 3 I guess was alright recent. from ZZ iirc. and a reallly good zaku
5:59 Well yes EWAC variants are pretty cool.
8:28 red energy. psycoframes. material that react to newtypes. NTD were kinda made to murder them.
8:32 Green frame. Blue is really only marketted for gunpla. a different equipment variant.
9:34 Magic. "Miracle" basically using the force to push the object out of the gravitational pull from earth. same in CCA.
9:48 They were presenting the banshee loadout with the loadout that the pilot wanted back then. They did show the unicorn mode and destroy mode.
This is a different pilot using different loadouts, this is banshee norn.
10:20 no winner. just mind breaks.
10:27 Green means the pilot is a newtype that can wrestle the control of the unicorn away from the NTD system and control the suit with their minds to do crazy stuff.
10:41 Their strategy was to have the unicorn basically solo the neo zeon army anyways. so give it max firepower. . . . or at least this loadout. There was a secondary option set for gunpla.
@@VoidTemplar Thanks for the timestamps lol. Do you have a favorite Mobile Suit from this series?
@@WadeWadeReacts Banshee Norn Full Awakened, both EWAC variants. Geara zulus. rezel.
The lineage of the Zaku goes like this: Prototype Zaku 1 --> Zaku 1 -- > Zaku II --> Zaku II High Mobility type --> MS-06R-3S High Mobility Type Zaku (aka Gelgoog Early Prototype) --> Gelgoog
The Gelgoog was a mass production unit that rivaled the Gundam in terms of specs and was able to use both a beam rifle and a beam naginata. It was developed at the last parts of the one year war, but there was not enough of them and not enough ace pilots left to use them.
After that there was a time gap between the Gelgoog and the Zaku III, about a 9 year gap. The Zaku III was developed to be a call back to the Zaku II as well as get a very versatile mobile suit for the Zeon Forces. The Zaku III had the ability to use all sorts of different optional parts for what ever the mission needed.
The Döven Wolf was its competitor and was designed to emphasis on fire power and new technology, like the new INCOM weapon. The new INCOM was a remote weapon system that a non-newtype pilot could use. The major difference between an INCOM and a newtype weapon like a funnel at that point was the INCOM had to be connected to the mobile suit by a wire, while a newer newtype weapon did not need a direct connection to the mobile suit to be controlled. The Döven Wolf also had a massive amounts of beam weapons and missiles with the inclusion of a mega beam launcher, a weapon meant to annihilate multiple mobile suits in a single shot. All of this came as standard weapons for the thing.
@@KnightManCross Wait you just opened up a new can of worms. Only Newtypes can use Funnels?
@@WadeWadeReacts That is correct. Only Newtypes, whether they are artificial or natural, can use funnels or weapons like them, other than INCOMs, they are controlled by a computer. I think one of the major limitations is that an INCOMs' control wire only extends so far, while a funnel has no such limitation and can't be disconnected through physical means
At time 6:11 you talked about how you liked it. In GBO2 it was a terrifying mobile suit when it was first released. The second mobile suit(out of three right now) with a 4 hit combo melee, extra damage on downed enemies, powerful close range weapons, including a shotgun that stunned everything, etc. Its only weakness the lack of thrusters which would allow it to do more complex attacks and move quickly. Though on the other hand it was and I think still is the fastest walking mobile suit, with a walking speed that rivals mobile suits using thrusters.
It got nerfed so that it was not so terrifying, but it still decent.
@@KnightManCross They need to find a way to add thrusters.
@@WadeWadeReacts It is to make it not broken on the release of that mobile suit, but it was still broken. People would add custom parts to add as much thrusters to the mobile suit. This made it so that while it could not dash/fly for long it could do use 2 or 3 quick bursts to allow it to do more advance melee combo techniques, which is one of the reasons why it became broken.
The players essentially fixed the weakness to a manageable degree using custom parts to boost the thrusters and the shotgun was the thing that made it super broken. The shotgun just had to hit with some of its pellets to stun some one and then the player would go in for the kill for this one opening that is easy to make happen
To fix this the shotgun was nerfed along with other things on it to make it more manageable.
Once again back again, So! Unicorn is a interesting one in the series as its had alot of Mobile Suits appearances and a few of them like the Efreet Schneid only appeared in side story games ( Also to note the Efreet Shneid has a long history of its own dating back to the OYW), also few bits to mentioned on some of the mobile suits that they shown here:
- The Jegans shown here are of the D Type a more updated variant from the Jegan in Char's Counterattack.
- The Zaku series did have a decent production line all the way up to the Zaku IV a rather large fella.
- The Sinanju is technically a Gundam Type, it was made under the Federation but the two Sinanju Suits that they made were "stolen" by Neo-Zeon.
-On the section of Beast the Banshee there has been modified quite a bit which also included a new weapon loadout hence its called the Banshee Norn instead of just Banshee.
- Whenever a Unicorn Type enters Destroy Mode any Funnel Weapon Type are pretty much hijacked and turned against their master, the Destroy Mode is called Newtype Destroyer.
@@thestrikewyvern2245 You're back again, lol. Thanks for the brief history, and the Mobile Suit breakdown.
Okay so what you both call a Zaku is the Zaku II and by the time of Unicorn has been discontinued for about 16 years due to Zeonic the company that made the Zaku I and Zaku II having first developed better Mobile Suits with the Gouf and Gelgoog then was absorbed into Anaheim Electronics after the One Year War with all remaining Zaku I and Zaku II units being either demilitarized collector pieces, Museum pieces, or in the hand of soldiers from Zeon that were left on Earth or in space when Zeon lost the war. Neo Zeon is made up of forces from the Republic of Zeon which was what the space colonies the made up Zeon became after the war. The Banshee and Banshee Norn are the same Mobile Suit just with different equipment as the Banshee has the Armed Armors BS and VN which are the Beam Smartgun on the right had and Vibrating Nail on the left while the Banshee Norn has the Armed Armor DE which is the Defense Extension plus the video did show the Banshee in Unicorn Mode along with the video showed only two Mobile Armors which are the Shamblo and Neo Zeong. Unicorn due to it's short length has a smaller number of Mobile Suits than the average UC show besides the original.
@@Skullkaiser Thanks for the breakdown.
The Zaku III is the less popular linage to carry the deign. In unicorn, the Geara Zulu is basically the official Zaku Mobile suit for unicorn Gundam. Also, there were two pilots for the Banshee, and the pilot that was in the Delta Gundam did survive and ended up piloting the Banshee after the original pilot for the Banshee went back to using the NZ-666 Kshatriya which is the big green mobile suit you guys like. The battle between the NZ-666 Kshatriya and Banshee has the same pilot from the delta and his name is, Riddhe Marcenas. Lastly, the pilot of the Kshatriya is, Marida Cruz, also being the original pilot of the banshee before she was killed by Riddhe, now in the banshee since the Kshatriya repair type doesn't compare to the Banshee. :)
(Edit: Also the glowing color you see under the unicorn's armor when it transforms is called psycho plate. The psycho plate allows New-Types to be able to pilot machines with less hassle, which can vary, but in the unicorn's case once destroy mode is activated, it is almost completely controlled by Banagher's emotions and his wishes. The psycho plate isn't always visible like in the case of the unicorn, meaning that the Psycho plate doesn't completely run through the whole inner frame of the Gundam. For example, the Sinanju, Sazabi, and Nu-Gundam all have Psycho frames in them to lessen the burden of controlling these machines and the intense maneuvers they have to control.)
@@aim9659 Psycho plate and frames are two things we'll have to look up. Thanks for the informative comment.
@ yeah a simple example of phsyco plate would be on the narrative gundam, because unlike the unicorn the narrative was built as a testbed for the nu-gundam and didn’t come outfitted with a psycho frame so later, they had to attach psycho plate onto it.
I love Gundam Unicorn. The Unicorn Full Armor is my first gunpla. The RG version.
Gundam Unicorn is an OVA series.
It only has 7 episodes. Each episodes have 1hr length. They're like Animated films that's why it has nice animation quality for it's age.
The only thing that makes it hard to suggest, is it happens after:
Gundam 0079, Gundam Zeta, Gundam ZZ, and Char's CounterAttack movie.
@@Ashe-T-s4h Seven episodes isn't bad at all, thought it would be longer.
@@WadeWadeReacts Yeah, eventhough it's 1hr per episode, it is kinda short when you binge it.
Also, the story is meant as an epilogue to Char's Counter Attack if you're wondering. The Psycho Frame technology originated from that movie.
Well the beam resistance isn't really a thing for armor. I think there was anti beam coating at the time but it's not something that I would trust in. The Unicorn's shields have I-Feild generators in them, which is kind of an energy shield, but the real thing is the whole thing is made out of Psycho-Frame. Psycho-Frame allows a person's brain waves to be transferred into machine code. In more practical terms it allows Newtypes to control the mobile suit like it's their own body (which is why you see pilots take their hands off the controls when the NTD activates) and newtype weapons like funnels. Most mobile suits that use Psycho-Frame use it only in the cockpit which is why the NZ-666 Kshatriya cockpit is glowing at 9:00. That's also why her funnels stopped working when Links activated the NTD. He overwhelmed the Kshatriya's psycommu. Which is terrifying.
The other thing the Psycho-Frame does is basically magic. There are a lot of times where a machine running Psycho-Frame does unnatural things. Like lifting impossible weight, stealing people's souls, stopping energy blast, things science can't explain. Like even the glow, nobody knows why it does that in universe at the time the Unicorn was made. So, Unicorn was built with Psycho-Frame basically to see what happened. Even the flying shield thing near the end of Unicorn. That shouldn't work. The shields have no thrusters, and the guns don't have any wireless triggering system. It only really works because Banagher is willing it to work.
@@dagonofthedepths The last part of your comment is crazy, lol. Psycho-Frame Magic, and soul stealing machines...
@@WadeWadeReacts Yeah happened what? 3x now? last one was actually the Phenex which is another version of the Unicorn. Trapped the pilot's soul inside the machine so it's just flying around unmanned.
yeah, Unicorn's crazy op. It's whole deal is having the firepower of a battleship, defense of a mobile armor, speed of a mobile suit, and is Anti-Newtype. Most mobile weapons can equal it in one of those fields but not all 3 lol
@@APrinnyDood Whoever designed it in universe outdid themselves.
The only reason you see so many suits in unicorn is because its been 20 years worth of suits, Some that you see are from the one year wars the very first gundam. That zaku 1 is 20 years old, all the remnants of zeon suits are all 20 years old and they were beating newer suits like the GM 2 and 3 that were updated until the Jesta team showed up. By Unicorn time line the Jesta is the best grunt suit but the gustove karl and Jegans are still used as common grunt units.
@@legendfang We are fans of the Zaku and the Jegan suits.
What's your favorite grunt suit shown?
@@castler7272 RGM-89S Stark Jegan. The pilot in that scene was incredible.
@@castler7272 What is your favorite suit?
A lot of federation mobile suits tech jumped after one year war when they took a lot of zeon schematics, gave them to Anaheim in exchange to develop new suits and give to the new formed titans. Titans had rick Dias (Doms), hizacks (Zakus), Maasai’s (gelgoogs?) and Nemo’s (gms) developed. Titans eventually collapsed and a lot of the old mobile suits went back to feds after zeta series. so data like zeta gundam was used for the Rezels, later improved gms became jegans with their mass variants with my fave is jestas. Then delta plus is pretty much zeta + Hyaku shiki in one.
@@dungeonmaster16 Thanks for the breakdown. Which of the suits is your favorite?
@@WadeWadeReacts feds side: jegan and jestas. zeon: of course zakus will be the go and similar units like geara doga/zulus for exm. they are pretty much the warhammer 40k soace marines (which technically games workshop may have taken idea from if look up years gundam/40k came out >.>) ppl will collect.
Red/Yellow forced activation of the Psyoframe and NT-D mode that uses the Pilot as part of the system it self. Green glow means the that a New Type pilot is direct control of the suit with bypassing NT-D mode and can do all kinds of New Type "magic". It takes a STRONG New Type with a strong will to by pass the NT-D and manually activate the Psyco Frame.
@@Elios0000 Unicorn might be the craziest when it come to the outlandish powers of Newtypes, along with Psycho-Frame tech.
Did you want to know what the green light from Unicorns is? Here's your answer: NT-D was partly controlled by the pilot himself, because it was just a triggering mechanism, the essence is in the system of intention, if the will of the pilot was strong, he could awaken the Unicorn, the power increased to incalculable values and he could literally have magical power influencing for a time and reality, due to their strength they were supposedly mothballed, but not dismantled..
@@aidenrain9510 What do you mean by time and reality? Like teleportation, or something even crazier?
@@WadeWadeReacts The unicorn defeated one of the elite mobile suits in battle, causing the enemy to hallucinate; in one of the last episodes, due to the resonance of the psychoframe, he was able to move through time, just as when the unicorn’s psychoframe took the form of a crystal, destroying his armor, he “disassembled” it with a wave of his hand. a whole fleet, if I remember correctly, it was even mentioned in Gundam Narrative
From what I got, the awaken mode could affect objects in time and space like for the disabled ms, their reactor were ‘rewinded’ back to before they were assembled and activated, in CCA nu Gundam and char’s sazabi psychoframes allowed to move the axis asteroid but at the cost of the pilots and suits. That’s why the psychoframes weren’t used in f91 or victory, because 1) the risk they represented 2) AE was mostly the only ones that knew how to create them and they were more or less dissvoled by f91 era and the introduction of the lighter ms / formula Gundam units.
the unicorns are indeed very strong, the rifle they use (beam magnum) is powerful enough to destroy a ms even if the shot misses, while also being able to one shot the spaceships.
@@okman5652 That's a powerful weapon.
Gonna say, the last MS you want to use in space is the Schuzrum Gallus. The thing has zero-thrusters so if you're thrown off into space, you best hope someone can pick you up cause you're not going anywhere.
@@Samuraiedge2 Definitely avoiding that suit, lol.
