F-91 was actually the first Gundam anything I had ever watched as a small child, so I have a certain amount of nostalgic love for the F-91 itself. Its design is actually pretty interesting when you really look at it not just in universe, but considering the history around the movie itself at the time. I still think it has one of the coolest backpack boosters of any MS, and I do really appreciate that it tried to do something so different with its chest design compared to other Gundams, sort of like what Zeta tried to do with the general face design of a Gundam. In a lot of ways too it's really a Gundam of novelties: the backpack and chest design as mentioned, one of the few Gundams with blue-ish eyes (along with it's older brother F-90), the first of the downsized MS Gundams shown on screen, the retractable faceplate, and of course the beam shield. Overall its almost all white (even compared to other "main" Gundams, save Unicorn now of course.) has a simple and sleekly organic look with a lot of smooth rounded edges that really stands in stark contrast to the more angular features of Gundams before it (and even many after it.). In other words, you can really tell they wanted the F-91 to be THE *new* Gundam for a new era, mirroring the original intent for F-91 to be a series launching a completely new era for the franchise. Gundams' own "the next generation" sort of deal. Obviously, it didn't quite work out the way they wanted, but nonetheless a lot of the above still makes the F-91 a really appealing design to me, plus nostalgic love. It's not my favorite Gundam MS design nowadays but its still up there.
F91 also has internal systems that can be diagnosed by people who play cat's cradle / ayatori. given that it is a kid's play, the implications of child soldiers is unsettling.
Honestly? When I first saw Exia and F91, I got the two mixed up as the same machine, it wasn't until Build Fighters F91 Imagine vs Amazin Exia that I realized they were separate
It would have worked out if they made it a TV series first and foremost. Instead, they had to cram and make other bad decisions. They also failed to follow up.
@@ih84runners also, they just want to cut cost that's why they miniaturized MS, but it has also pros since smaller suits means less power needed for movement, more power for weapons, and less mass
This small but terrible Gundam is like one of the fastest ever designed. 2 x Beam Saber 2 x Beam Shield 2 x Mega Machine Cannon 2 x VSBR 2 x Vulcan Gun Beam Launcher Beam Rifle so much power packed in a small package .
@MichikoZaku yep, the in-story explanation is something like as all MS have weaponry that can destroy a suit in one hit by that point, by F91 and V the focus has shifted to making most suits small, light, fast and maneuverable. and yea in DW:G 3 i love using the F91 because of its speed. havn't unlocked V2 yet though
So, basically, it is a fast vehicle with a 'V-chip' for non-Newtypes. It's a shame they made it permanent on the mass produced ones; that and the chance that Harrison could be one would've ended his fight against Seabrook quickly. Also, kudos for EFSF for finally breaking Aneheim's leash and making their own suit.
The F91 piloted by was actually a mass production model. The prototype is the F90V. They installed the bio computer in its head during the movie, so the feddy test pilot would bring out it's full potential during the trials. The F91's in the crossbone manga lacked the bio computer, exept for Harrisons custom unit.
Funny thing is that Aneheim still helped with the F90 series…by letting them use their facilities to make the units while they worked to come up with something else. If I recall, currently the newest MS of theirs was the Freedom seen in G Saviour which was outdated be a couple of decades by the time that movie took place. It really started here, but the dominos were falling in quite an interesting way.
It's a far faster and much smaller target than most Gundams, plus its afterimages can fool both man and machine. There's no point in trying to shoot at something you can't hit. The Unicorn and Hi-Nu are powerful, yes, but to the F91, they're sitting ducks
Judau Ashta proves in hi Gump that its not the machine that matters its who pilots the thing. Early Seabrook doesn't quite have the experience of Amuro, or Banagher at the time of this movie maybe his time in Crossbone Vanguard.
funnels are useless in both land and space in late universal century. Unless they are large enough to carry fire power that could penetrate the beam shields while capable of reaching the speed of an MS like F91. In later cases like crossbone gundam full cloth and v2 assault buster, I field generators and beam shields are all over them so funnels from early UC MS like qubeley would do no damage. Larger funnels with mega particle beam cannon couldn't scratch them either, VSBR, beam saber weapon and saber funnels are the only option.
I-fields tend to be limited to, well, limited production units. Even by Victory it's not a common feature. Funnels can still swarm around the target. Beam shields can only protect from the direction they are facing. I would hardly call them useless. The real problem with them as that you need newtypes. And they have to be good enough to manipulate them and pilot well enough not to get shot down. Cyber newtypes tend to be on edge at the best of times or flat out insane in the worst case scenarios.
i guess the problem with speed makes most sense, in order to have faster funnel it would need a bigger engine,and ms is in the age where speed>armor/feature, i mean look at unicorn, transformable mobile suit, psychoframe and funnel is in its golden era with the likes of Rezel, kshatriya and unicorn, where those go in uc 120s ? simple answer would be the federation have removed all those feature for something much more importan like speed and firepower, demostrated as in uc 90s jegan were effective due to their speed and reliability and mobile suit with heavy firepower like sinanju and unicorn tends to dominate the field if the pilot is capable of long range sniping, that is all.
+Errorcutive But without armor, you are risking yourself for getting killed by just ONE shot. And get this, a lot of weapons have developed to make speed seems useless. What I think is that balance is everything.
Beam shield and Anti beam coating is better CHEAPER and easier to produce than thick armor, Also armor weight you down more when everyone is moving soo fast youre a sitting duck, look at the jegan in F-91 THEYRE SO SLOW to the point where den an zon could kick them like soccer ball, also which weapon make speed useless, speed isnt the only thing matter speed is useless when you move in a straight line but when you do manuever its definitely harder to aim at you, only newtype can do XxX360HaXscopeXxX and make movement useless, speed also is important to close in and melee.
Errorcutive Well, like I said before, balance is everything. I prefer to integrate beam shield into the whole frame of my suit so that my body is fully protected, also it is much cheaper that, like you said before, developing thick armor, and it is lighter than carrying the shield while wearing thick armor and you have more hand to carry other weapons (Because seriously, why carry a piece of defense when you can wear it?).
RX 78 Gundam is about 18 meters tall. F91 is three meters shorter than Gundam. So it's 15 meters tall. That's about 5 stories tall. Small enough for an MS.
Yeah. Most late UC Gundam are smaller but they're packed with tons of firepower. They're the equivalent of Destroyer Ship in real life. Small but menacing.
well, if you look at the MS made after RX 78, you'll see how big they are, considering Xi Gundam is much larger than Nu Gundam and Unicorn, then F91, it will be considered small MS
It is small compared every thing that was built in UC... and Zeon are the worse offenders who just keeps building bigger, expensive, hard to maintain, and hard to pilot If you want tiny and powerful, Turn A, and no I'm not even referring to moonlight butterfly... this thing supplexes Wadoms 2 times it's size. I bet it can flip a Neo Zeong that tries to step on it. Then there's Gundam Double Fake. A mobile worker, turned Gundam (which is still fake), that bamboozled Zeon thinking it's real. Imagine piloting a Zeon prototype only to get your ass handed by a mobile worker in disguise.
I like this mobile suit; the F91. Looks simple but highly advanced in its use. I wonder if it would stand a chance against the Strike Freedom from CE Gundam. 🤔🤔🤔
rollcanja it would... Even would destroy it and especially in his "super speed" mode. Trans am modes from gundam 00 probably were based off F91's speed mode
barron leg you do know the crossbone is basically the f97 gundam right. Its designed to be light weight and fast, just like the f91. Not to mention, it has the Bio computer system built inside as well, along with the radiators in the face.
Maybe because it was Harrison Martin. And besides, the F97 Crossbone is the descendant of the F91. The fight wasnt exactly fair considering the F91 at that time as at least 10 years old and yet it still put up enough of a fight to make it a considerable threat to its much more advanced descendant.
and that mass f91 do not have MEPE, biocomputer and the VSBR is re config to be with less punch power and higher fire frequency compare to the prototype F91, this setting probably is set to suit for pilots who is not a newtype and for cost down
Crazy that we went from the Xi gundam having to be 26 meters tall to house a minovsky flight unit to the F91 being less than half that size in the span of a few decades
Technological advancements led to miniaturization of Mobile Suits and their innerparts, making their performance mass production even more efficient than ever before. Other private companies like the Buch Concern also aided here by developing the Dessa Types which would become Zondo Geis. From here on out, Mobile Suits are much smaller, but the technology paved by the creation of the Xi and the Penelope wouldn't be realized until the era of Gaia Gear.
even in UC 133 the F91 is still a formidable match to Seabook's Crossbone Gundam according to the manga tho I love the Hi Nu Gundam its no match to F91's speed and power specs wise but we know the pilots are another factor to consider i wonder why Tomino did not give it funnels? tho I would like F91 to have funnels too, the Strike Freedom was like Nu + F91 + Dendrobium Stamen Gundams rolled into one which is imho too much over the top.
I know this is an old comment but funnels were too slow to hit anything by F91 and too weak to do anything to beam shields and maybe even MS armour by that point
I know OO series tried to replicate the jetpack stream effect which makes the MS very fast but there is a thing that lack in the OO. It is not included the mechanism aspect of the effect. The parts that looks like radiator is the reason why the F91 can keep moves in high speed and high temperature yet the OO simply ignored it. The OO series simply showed that every gundam could do it in a magical way...... Yeah, the real artist (Tomino) work's is always better.....
Errr the fins only help to dissipate heat. The unit was originally able to move that fast. To use the unit at its full potential cause the MEPE and requires extra cooling.
Most likely Crossbone, you see on the Crossbone manga on how easy it was for the Crossbone to damage the F91, because the Crossbone was 10 years advanced.
This definitely one of the more strangest-designed gundam I have ever seen. It's fitted with alot of strange design choices, and a weaponized head, no less.
Well the head is packed with more equipment than standard and it requires a better heat vents but to conserve some degree of stealth it opens and closes the vents as to not trail heat. plus it's intimidating to see a mouth open like that.

It would have worked out if they made it a TV series first and foremost. Instead, they had to cram and make other bad decisions. They also failed to follow up.
For a mech that's supposed to be small and fast, F91 is packing a lot of firepower. For that matter so was V2 in some configs.
There's a lot of that in Gundam. The small, fast models are generally the ones that launch the most shit towards the enemy.
Big things come in small packages.
Well, less mass to deal with. Hence more power you can put into the weapons for more whallop?
