What always struck me as hilariously ironic is how Gundam was the first real robot show, meaning the mecha are just another piece of military vehicle, but in real life the production version of any tank, airplane, etc. is alwags better than their prototypes. Victory is the first and only time in the series that a Gundam was genuinely mass produced and better as a mass production model than as a prototype.
For American units? Yes. But this don't apply to all countries, Russia being the prime example, they always make one off High end prototypes (Su-37/47 comes to mind), then due ti reasons they either downgrade then for mass production or incorporate technologies related to the project in older models although a lower end version
@@scarface1ghost624 the Su35 for instance is a major improvement in every way over the Su37, but I agree with you about Su47. That one hasn't really been matched but I'm not sure it was intended to go anywhere beyond being some kind of technology demonstrator.

In Gundam they do stuff a little backward. Instead of iterating on a base design, they make the best possible unit and work backwards from there to mass produce it, which doesn’t necessarily make sense in the real world. You’d want to put the best stuff on your production units as well. In real life, the gundam would be impossible to use that extensively due to the lack of spare parts and other logistical issues in running the thing. Plus the idea of one unit coming out on top in multiple enemy engagements where it’s completely outnumbered head to head also makes no sense.
One could argue that the 4th MK.II is the one that gets delivered to the Argama during ZZ. Since if I recall, Emma's MK.II got wrecked during the end of the gryps war.

@@echos5823 are you sure about that? All the stolen Gundams of the GAT series and second stage series didn't seem to need any spare parts.

There was a 2nd Phenex built far into the future of UC so there are technically 4 Unicorns. The CAMS-RX0 G-Phenex was a silver Phenex that appeared in the OVA 'Gundam Reconguista in G: From the Past to the Future'. In the lore it was built with blueprints from the Rose of Hermes during the Reguild Century, which is the setting of G-reco.
@@davidvasquez08 G-Reco takes place during the "Regild Century" era, which is a relative far future to the Universal Century era (the main Gundam timeline). More specifically, the events of the G-Reco series take place in the year 1014 of the Regild Century timeline. There is some debate as to whether the Regild Century era occurs before or after the Correct Century era (the timeline for Turn-A Gundam). This is relevant because animated works have pointed to the Correct Century era being a point at which all Gundam timelines (at least, all of the ones produced prior to the production of Turn-A Gundam) converge. Additionally, one recent animated work, "Light of Life: Chronicle U.C." indicates that the multiple eras/timelines are the result of a cyclic near-extinction event in which the Turn-A Gundam seemingly spontaneously activates, resets civilization to an essentially pre-industrial state by using its Moonlight Butterfly system to destroy all modern high technology, and then reburies itself, leaving the survivors and their descendants to rebuild over the course of centuries/millennia (including eventually redeveloping variations of MS technology) before doing it again.
Personal opinion, one thing that's a bit risky about making Gundam MS Lore, either prototypes or mass produced: Bandai's love for retconning stuff, just to be able to make "Variations line" kits. Cause just like me and Mr.Krabs, we like money.
@@fishpop Hey those old kits had a lot of love! Try building one, it can't truly compare to a modern kit, but some old msv no grades are better than early hgucs
the interesting part in Victory is that the grunts get the Hexa and the commanders the normal Victory. Considering that both V1 and V2 also have the same modular system as the Impulse and for a while there was a second V2 core fighter around until people made bad decisions, I'd say it's fair to call the V2 semi-mass-produced as well
The V1 and V2 are classified as limited production rather than mass produced. I think Uso had the only remaining V2 which was one of only 2, and there definitely weren’t more than 15-20 V1s, which still isn’t that many.
There were some production V2s in the manga that we see Judau again, who somehow convinced the league to give him some. However despite this he still preferred piloting his own broken down ZZ. Notably, other V2s are painted blue or black and lacked the Assault Buster pack that Uso had.
I'm proud to announce that us Dutchmen have started a new windmill border project so that everyone around them can enjoy true Dutch heritage~! Very, very soon indeed.
Gundam Marine type is also known as the 'Waterproof Gundam'. Also, there may have been 4 Pixies due to the appearance of it in Code Fairy. 2 were confirmed to be used by Bork and the Slaive Wraith team, but another was used at a training facility in 'We Are Federation Hooligans'. So the presence of another Pixy is confusing.
The pixies in code fairy is the early type that was converted into the Lilith custom. It’s either a 4th unit or the Belfast unit transferred to North America since California base is a prime target after Odessa. The one used by Bork and the Slave wraith might be the same due to Bork abandoning it, the federation retrieved it, and the wraith got their hands on it.
7:04 talking about the Pixies. In Code Fairy there's a pixie in North America that was used by the WitchHunters. Could this be a 4th unit or could it be unit 1 or 3? (The designation is Prototype Pixie)
@@tomhuynh3867 wel this shows that federation had alot of gundams for specific units even non newtypes and some where just test bed to see how it flows against zeon I still wonder about those other pale riders units and the missing link squads
There's a book that once talked about the 4th Gundam Mk2. It was crashed during a flight test in Green Noah 1. It can be found on the website starting from the letter E.
In case you were interested in it, Gundam Battle Operation 2 for the most previous gacha banner, was the Hazel Custom, people on the Reddit are excited for what other Hazel units could be added. I know they’re in the SD Gundam games or SRW, but I like GBO2 allowing you to actually pilot the suit. Personally I’d want to pilot a Ground Gundam, love it’s versatility.
Kakarot: only 3 pixies where made Lilith (code fairy): *internal screaming* xD But no seriously what about her pixie? Or was because it became a customized and upgraded pixie it doesn't count as a fourth pixie unit?
The fourth Gundam MKII is probably an actual thing since Banagher managed to snag himself one and there is a fourth RX-0 as well that was is G-Recco which was silver and in the Phenex configuration.
@@Gay_Priest it wasn't in the actual anime( then again I never watched it), there was a G-recco short that had bellri vs mask in a phenex knockoff Ps I think you can find it on TH-cam
@@Gay_Priest Its the Phenex. Or based on it. Of course since Mask is the one who pilots it, it didn't really do much. It still can uae its NT-D for some reason
Its more of a kind-of 4th unit rather than an actual fourth unit since it was made from the Rose of Hermes blueprints. And the Mark 2 Banagher pilots has an extra arm strapped to one of its arms just to reinforce the arm for Beam Magnum use lol.
Awesome video, dude! One quick correction, though: according to their profiles at MAHQ, the RX-78-2 and RX-78-3 were definitely NOT upgraded RX-78-1s. The RX-78-2 had 3 units produced; the two not piloted by Amuro Ray were destroyed during Char's attack on Side 7. Their remains were loaded onto White Base, and after it reached Jaburo, they were cobbled together into the RX-78-3.
Actually, they were. In addition, the Rx-78-1 and Rx-78-3 were not built from destroyed units. The Rx-78-1 was probably still in its disassembled parts form since one of the Zeon soldiers thought that the Gundam was a ton of unassembled parts. The Rx-78-3 is probably the same story but it appears to also be used as replacements for the Gundam if it was damaged really badly.
I mean, it can whip up storm winds and is able to fly in atmosphere. It would definitely be a threat in early UC and against grunts in a few other timelines. One of those “this thing is so weak, but only by the logic of its own universe” things like with Digimon. If most of those critters were real, then it would be like a Godzilla movie and that’s not even counting the ones that can distort reality and so on. That’s the funny thing about fiction, especially anime from my experience.
-I love the deco of the G3-the chill winter-like color scheme just vibes with me. -I was unaware the Cosmic Era had Purus! -Imagine how much better the League Militaire would have done if they didn't hand like a dozen Gundams worth of parts to a 12 year old that used them as projectiles...
I recently got the G3 beyond global HG, and I’m not too much of a fan of the RX 78 2 but the colours make it look so much cooler, it’s hard to get your hands on but if you can it is definitely worth it
hey i think i know what happened to one of the pixys, in the manga "we are federation hooligans" one enemy ace the characters fight pilots a pixy gundam shortly before the attack on California base
Feel like you did miss the Zeta Plus as I saw at least someone else mention because if you are putting the M1 Astrays and Murasames in there then the Zeta Plus should fit in the same grey area as them especially considering the existence of a true mass production model in the MSZ-007. Also speaking of Zetas what about the units from Gundam Evolve?
@@Joshua_N-A I don't think the Silver Bullet is a gundam personally it has the head design sure but the fact that it was developed off of the Doven Wolf which in turn was off of the MK V. I feel makes it fall more into the "GM" category but I do see good argument for honorable mention or being on the list especially considering it did a lot of test work.
Are you saying you're from Belgium? Also, my first pick would be the F91. Not only does it look real awesome, but it makes sense. The design is compact, F91 is only 15 meters tall compared to the average 18 meters mobile suits usually are, and has no wings but can fly, making it a real hard target to hit. Vulcan canons on the head plus the gaus canon on the chest provide balistics weapons, with a beam rifle, beam bazooka to cover energy weaponry and two beam sabers and beam shield emiters for close combat, it can take on a wide variety of enemies. But, on top of that, it has the two VSBR pod on its back which are just over-powered! In the Cross-bone gundam manga, the Crossbone Unit 1 takes on a F91 and when shot at with a VSBR, it needed to throw two enemy mobile suits, two shield emiters, two beam sabers and still couldn't block the shot. Those weapons are insane! If I can't have the F91, the Murasame is a good second choice since it's already my favorite grunt unit. Third choice would be the Airmaster. I like that it's jet mode nose cone doesn't become a shield like most transforming Gundams so there's no risk of loosing that key feature. It's got good armament for medium to long range but its weakeness is no close range or melee weaponry. Which is why it's my third choice.
All the newer minion models do get the magnetic joints when it was invented? I think some of the reasons normal pilots can't use the unit is like when you play fps and the mouse sensitivity is crank up to 100. And the dutch wonder why people randomly blow up windmills when they attack.
No. They ditch the missiles of Core Splendor immediately after launching it to dock into Impulse without ever firing them, the top brass would have a heart attack from that kind of ammo waste if they were to mass-produce them. XD
So the Regenerate Gundam was a modified Aegis Gundam, there was the Proto Savior and the official Savior Gundams but they were either upgraded into the Proto Savior + 11 or mass produced as the Vent Savior, the last ones I can think of from Seed was the 3 different Sword Calamity Gundams and the Armed Raider Gundams. Do the wing Gundams count because of the semi cannonical New Mobile Report Gundam Wing Sidestory: Tiel's Impulse? That's all I can think of currently I might update this later.
If there's a 4th unicorn unit i would want it to be silver and be called fenrir after a wolf cuz that does complete the animal roster and it will make it more awesome if that 4th unit was more close combat focused
i actually enjoy NT-1 / Alex the most out of the one year war era machines due to its relatively balanced Physical and Beam weapon loadout. it's the same reason why i enjoy using Hi-Nu. they are my primary suits when i play Gundam Assault Survive. btw... did you just miss the Zeta Plus?
Also, the one unit Banagher received could be a brand new one, as Yazan Gable got an AE made GUNDAM MKII which is identical to the original ones Titans produced back to U.C.0087 in MSV-R manga at U.C. 0090
Well in the F91 movie there was the crossbone vanguard, so like, is there some kind of relation between F91 and crossbone Gundam them? And 4:55 I kinda wish these were in victory Gundam lol
I still can’t believe that 4x S Gundams got built, but only 1 was ever deployed. You’d think AE would arrange for at least 1 unit to get “stolen” or “lost in transit with all hands onboard” down the line.
In a fan timeline of mine, I've got the Oni Gundam, made for a faction's supersoldiers. The frame itself can be adjusted to match the body size of the pilots, the smallest being 20 meters.
from this list I'm between the unicorn gundam, gundam x, nebula blitz & the destroy - thou for the destroy I'd like to do the next version which for me is it taking design impute from the legend
The Gundam Marine type does show up in Gundam Katana - It's destroyed off-panel by a Zaku. You see it prior to deployment by the Titans, then the wreckage afterwards. Never knew about the multiple Destiny Impulses, anyone know what happened to them? (I'm assuming its something to do with the Astray manga)
Hey kakarot , did you know that there are a few Char clones outside of Gundam ? Most notably Commander Farsight from Warhammer in his red battlesuit with a taste for melee .
In my novel there were enough blueprints for 16 Gundam Units! Only 12 were developed in secret on a reportedly abandoned Earth, while ONI got the other 4, using Unit 13 as the base for their own Mobile Suit armada the data for which eventually went into the X Series of prototypes and the other 3 being given to Martian forces to combat the people who were sent to pick up the Gundams originally but decided it best they be kept out of ONI's hands! Like, "are you going to give us what are, I should point out, OUR weapons?" "Nope! We don't trust you!" "Fine, we'll jus destroy you then!"
Just thought I'd throw a few more uc ms that i think were produced in "some" numbers, f90: 3 units, heavy gundam: 3-4 units, and one ms that is technically a gundam, zeta plus (all variants): ~20-30 units
I'd take any Gundam that lets me shoot my guns from range and has the armor to keep me alive! Screw melee, you can't hit me if you are a smoking crater or an ashy pot mark on the dirt!
I wanna say that unit 2 was in North America because in the recently released gundam game Code Fairy, you face off against a pilot named Lilith Aidan piloting a pixy. Later on in the game she (the pixy) is upgraded and given better armor and quite a few weapons including a twin beam spear, 2 beam sabers, and a beam gun, but the beam daggers were taken away.
I really think the 4th MK II unit was a later ret-con and most likely added in because (for what ever reason) once the AEUG captured all three Titian MK II's and then painted the unit in it's trade mark Gundam colors, the unit was then designated as [AG 004], shown on it's shoulder and shield markings, (which always really confused me). When you show the Zeta movie clip, (2:50 to 3:20) with the visual inconsistencies, it was most likely due to a continuity/ editing error, in other words that scene was meant to air at a different place in the movie during planning but but got changed in the final edit because they didn't want to waste costly all ready animated scenes. They probably thought no one would really notice the continuity issues in the end.
Correct me if I am wrong. In Gundam Wing Units 01-05 Use Zero as a base and are just modify versions which half of them recieve upgrade or new versions of their suits. Zero is based off the tallgeese which most mass produce in that world are also based on.
7:10 if the Pixie unit 2 was sent to Odessa then it all lines up. Unit 2 was stationed in North America and was given to Lt. Lilith Aidan of the Witch Hunt team. It was modified as a close-combat machine primarily using the GM Striker's twin beam spear. Lilith received the Pixie around the time of the Battle of Odessa. The Witch Hunt team main job was to track down the Zeon MS team Noisy Fairy, which was also stationed in North America, under the command of California Base. Noisy Fairy was consisted of only female pilots, they was feared by the Federation hence referred to as Witches With her Pixie, Lt. Lilith Aidan engaged the Noisy Fairy several occasions. However, no records was available as any evidence of the Noisy Fairy team was obsolete, speculate suggests by Zeon high command.
Crossbone Vangaurd also had the Flints which where nerfed versions on the F97 but they aren’t called Flint Gundams so I can understand why they weren’t included
They were mass-produced models based on F97, not F97 -s. On the other hand, the video forgot about F99 -s, which were intended for mass production, and SNRI made multiple units of them.
I don' remember if you made a video about this already. Or just a comment in a video but when does Mass Production units out perform Gundams/Hero units for different series? Great video as always.
Just my opinion, There are mass produced ground type [S] in Gundam Thunderbolt then there are also the Hazel Gundams which were derived from the GM Quel. I think you missed also 1 version of the strike gundam(strike rouge) Thanks
I have doubts concerning the IBO part, I think I saw somewhere that not all gundam shared the same frame. For instance, I think that the Kimaris, Barbatos and Dentalion have each a different frame as the technology evolved as they were made. so ASW-G-[small number] have an older tech frame than ASW-G-[higher number]
I will say that in my Turn A Gundam fan fic all mass produced Gundam that survived to the end of their series ( the universal century, G Gundam, and Gundam X) are all possibilities of becoming mass produced Gundams in Turn A Gundam. ( My main character pilots a Gundam F91). Also even though it is not called a gundam the Jack edge from Gundam age I do consider a mass produced Gundam.
Well considering that the phenex cannonically has the tail things on its armed armour DE's this probably means that the silver one could be a unit 4 (also can we just address how confusing the name RX0 is, it was developed much closer to uc100 and the whole la+ system was incorporated into one of them and was even redundant after episode 2 for any reason other than banager having a tantrum(
if i were to choose which mass production gundams.. i'd have to say either one of the astray types or one of the gundam frames. I honestly thought the Strike gundam would have counted as we had the strike rouge and a 2nd strike makes an appearence after its destroyed in seed. though the one that Mu pilots may be a repair job.

This is relevant because animated works have pointed to the Correct Century era being a point at which all Gundam timelines (at least, all of the ones produced prior to the production of Turn-A Gundam) converge.
Additionally, one recent animated work, "Light of Life: Chronicle U.C." indicates that the multiple eras/timelines are the result of a cyclic near-extinction event in which the Turn-A Gundam seemingly spontaneously activates, resets civilization to an essentially pre-industrial state by using its Moonlight Butterfly system to destroy all modern high technology, and then reburies itself, leaving the survivors and their descendants to rebuild over the course of centuries/millennia (including eventually redeveloping variations of MS technology) before doing it again.
Nether Gundam a powerful army and great threat
LIGHTNING OF JUDGEMENT
Believe in Nether
Personal opinion, one thing that's a bit risky about making Gundam MS Lore, either prototypes or mass produced:
Bandai's love for retconning stuff, just to be able to make "Variations line" kits.
Cause just like me and Mr.Krabs, we like money.
And yet there's still tons of MSV stuff with no kits...
Even those that DO are old pieces of crap from the 80s.
@@fishpop Hey those old kits had a lot of love! Try building one, it can't truly compare to a modern kit, but some old msv no grades are better than early hgucs
Bizarro Dozle Zabi be like "once Gun Dam is mass produced..."
the interesting part in Victory is that the grunts get the Hexa and the commanders the normal Victory.
Considering that both V1 and V2 also have the same modular system as the Impulse and for a while there was a second V2 core fighter around until people made bad decisions, I'd say it's fair to call the V2 semi-mass-produced as well
The V1 and V2 are classified as limited production rather than mass produced. I think Uso had the only remaining V2 which was one of only 2, and there definitely weren’t more than 15-20 V1s, which still isn’t that many.
There were some production V2s in the manga that we see Judau again, who somehow convinced the league to give him some. However despite this he still preferred piloting his own broken down ZZ. Notably, other V2s are painted blue or black and lacked the Assault Buster pack that Uso had.
@@williamcll what manga? those must have been V1's, there definitely weren't more than 3 made
I'm proud to announce that us Dutchmen have started a new windmill border project so that everyone around them can enjoy true Dutch heritage~!
Very, very soon indeed.
Gundam Marine type is also known as the 'Waterproof Gundam'. Also, there may have been 4 Pixies due to the appearance of it in Code Fairy. 2 were confirmed to be used by Bork and the Slaive Wraith team, but another was used at a training facility in 'We Are Federation Hooligans'. So the presence of another Pixy is confusing.
Beat me to the Hooligans and Code Fairy. And I love the Code Fairy Pixie because you gotta love Striker style Pixie lol
@@Rand_Hero I haven't played the game yet. No spoilers. How I found out was just by the trailer.
Code Fairy throws cannon out the window honestly
There was also a Waterproof Gundam in "Gundam Katana" but it was also shot down quick
The pixies in code fairy is the early type that was converted into the Lilith custom. It’s either a 4th unit or the Belfast unit transferred to North America since California base is a prime target after Odessa. The one used by Bork and the Slave wraith might be the same due to Bork abandoning it, the federation retrieved it, and the wraith got their hands on it.
7:04 talking about the Pixies. In Code Fairy there's a pixie in North America that was used by the WitchHunters. Could this be a 4th unit or could it be unit 1 or 3? (The designation is Prototype Pixie)
I wonder about this pixie 2 it's origin not much things are explained maybe the manga probably tells us more
Probably the Belfast one transferred over to North America or a prototype since it was designated as Early type before conversion for Lilith.
@@tomhuynh3867 wel this shows that federation had alot of gundams for specific units even non newtypes and some where just test bed to see how it flows against zeon I still wonder about those other pale riders units and the missing link squads
There's a book that once talked about the 4th Gundam Mk2. It was crashed during a flight test in Green Noah 1. It can be found on the website starting from the letter E.
The impulse was also mass produced as destiny impulse r units ( impulses with no modular systems and new less powerful destiny sillhouettes)
As much as I'd love to think a 4th MK II could be out fighting AEUG it's likely an animation error on par with Cyclonus "and his armada".
It's probably the one from ZZ
If you count G Reco, a fourth Unicorn WAS built, albeit thousands of years later.
In case you were interested in it, Gundam Battle Operation 2 for the most previous gacha banner, was the Hazel Custom, people on the Reddit are excited for what other Hazel units could be added. I know they’re in the SD Gundam games or SRW, but I like GBO2 allowing you to actually pilot the suit.
Personally I’d want to pilot a Ground Gundam, love it’s versatility.
Same! The Gundam Ground Type is my favorite MS!
Kakarot: only 3 pixies where made
Lilith (code fairy): *internal screaming* xD
But no seriously what about her pixie? Or was because it became a customized and upgraded pixie it doesn't count as a fourth pixie unit?
there was a prototype pixy gundam and a variant pixy gundam introduced in the code fairies game recently
The fourth Gundam MKII is probably an actual thing since Banagher managed to snag himself one and there is a fourth RX-0 as well that was is G-Recco which was silver and in the Phenex configuration.
G-Recco? There's a unicorn in Reconguista In G?
@@Gay_Priest it wasn't in the actual anime( then again I never watched it), there was a G-recco short that had bellri vs mask in a phenex knockoff
Ps I think you can find it on TH-cam
@@Gay_Priest Its the Phenex. Or based on it. Of course since Mask is the one who pilots it, it didn't really do much. It still can uae its NT-D for some reason
Its more of a kind-of 4th unit rather than an actual fourth unit since it was made from the Rose of Hermes blueprints. And the Mark 2 Banagher pilots has an extra arm strapped to one of its arms just to reinforce the arm for Beam Magnum use lol.
@@chiefbawor_thegr8966
G-Phenex was the replica of the Phenex.
Awesome video, dude! One quick correction, though: according to their profiles at MAHQ, the RX-78-2 and RX-78-3 were definitely NOT upgraded RX-78-1s. The RX-78-2 had 3 units produced; the two not piloted by Amuro Ray were destroyed during Char's attack on Side 7. Their remains were loaded onto White Base, and after it reached Jaburo, they were cobbled together into the RX-78-3.
Actually, they were. In addition, the Rx-78-1 and Rx-78-3 were not built from destroyed units. The Rx-78-1 was probably still in its disassembled parts form since one of the Zeon soldiers thought that the Gundam was a ton of unassembled parts. The Rx-78-3 is probably the same story but it appears to also be used as replacements for the Gundam if it was damaged really badly.
The Netherlands gundam could only exist in G Gundam, cause it would be too powerful for the other universes!
And those crazy bastards in Neo Holland mass produced it!
@@kevinyoung9540 Well, we're crazy enough to fight the Sea. That Craziness had to have SOME outlet in space, don't you think?
I mean, it can whip up storm winds and is able to fly in atmosphere. It would definitely be a threat in early UC and against grunts in a few other timelines. One of those “this thing is so weak, but only by the logic of its own universe” things like with Digimon. If most of those critters were real, then it would be like a Godzilla movie and that’s not even counting the ones that can distort reality and so on.
That’s the funny thing about fiction, especially anime from my experience.
@@MasterArchfiend you must been really fun at party
Legend has it after joining the good guys the Murasame pilots all had only one arm free to pilot their units explaining their performance
4:58 i agree with you buddy. Mass produced ms / waifu in victory gundam
Though part of the Ground type gundam family, the Blue Destiny did get 3 units made.
So did the Slavewraiths and Pale Riders though they'd be designated as RX-79[G]s due to their frame
Astray Rangers made me chuckle more than I should have.. great vid as always Kakarot!
The way you promoted Nether Gundam, i now want to pilot a windmill gundam to fly around and transform into windmill anywhere.
I would theorize that the fourth Gundam Mark II unit you pointed out was possibly the one used by Yazan Gable in MSV-R The Return of Johnny Ridden.
8:59 Nether Gundam never got a single victory in the entirety of G Gundam
Weak Gundams with weaker pilots must be punished
LIGHTNING OF JUDGEMENT
The Ground Combat Gundam will always be my favorite Gundam. Trowa’s Heavy Arms model Gundam is a close second.
Love the idea of prototype suits being converted into newer units. Make sense as what the squads in code fairy did with limited resources.
Really love the smooth flowing style of this video rather than the standard numbered type of recap
-I love the deco of the G3-the chill winter-like color scheme just vibes with me.
-I was unaware the Cosmic Era had Purus!
-Imagine how much better the League Militaire would have done if they didn't hand like a dozen Gundams worth of parts to a 12 year old that used them as projectiles...
I recently got the G3 beyond global HG, and I’m not too much of a fan of the RX 78 2 but the colours make it look so much cooler, it’s hard to get your hands on but if you can it is definitely worth it
There is a 4th unicorn, G-phenex.
Its black armour with red psycho frame and it appears in reconguista in G.
G-Phenex is a replica of the original Phenex.
The S gundam from sentinel had 4 units built in total, that one got forgotten in here
hey i think i know what happened to one of the pixys, in the manga "we are federation hooligans" one enemy ace the characters fight pilots a pixy gundam shortly before the attack on California base
Feel like you did miss the Zeta Plus as I saw at least someone else mention because if you are putting the M1 Astrays and Murasames in there then the Zeta Plus should fit in the same grey area as them especially considering the existence of a true mass production model in the MSZ-007. Also speaking of Zetas what about the units from Gundam Evolve?
Then what makes the Silver Bullet?
@@Joshua_N-A I don't think the Silver Bullet is a gundam personally it has the head design sure but the fact that it was developed off of the Doven Wolf which in turn was off of the MK V. I feel makes it fall more into the "GM" category but I do see good argument for honorable mention or being on the list especially considering it did a lot of test work.
RX-78GP01Fb Zephyranthes Full Vernian. My first Gundam, even though that model wasn't mass produced. Every time I see it, takes me back to 1991.
How'd I not realize it sooner. 105-E Strike Gundam. F-15 E Strike Eagle. Wow. Let me guess, Astrays are abrams.
Are you saying you're from Belgium?
Also, my first pick would be the F91. Not only does it look real awesome, but it makes sense. The design is compact, F91 is only 15 meters tall compared to the average 18 meters mobile suits usually are, and has no wings but can fly, making it a real hard target to hit. Vulcan canons on the head plus the gaus canon on the chest provide balistics weapons, with a beam rifle, beam bazooka to cover energy weaponry and two beam sabers and beam shield emiters for close combat, it can take on a wide variety of enemies. But, on top of that, it has the two VSBR pod on its back which are just over-powered! In the Cross-bone gundam manga, the Crossbone Unit 1 takes on a F91 and when shot at with a VSBR, it needed to throw two enemy mobile suits, two shield emiters, two beam sabers and still couldn't block the shot. Those weapons are insane!
If I can't have the F91, the Murasame is a good second choice since it's already my favorite grunt unit.
Third choice would be the Airmaster. I like that it's jet mode nose cone doesn't become a shield like most transforming Gundams so there's no risk of loosing that key feature. It's got good armament for medium to long range but its weakeness is no close range or melee weaponry. Which is why it's my third choice.
As an dutchman i can neither confirm nor deny, that i have my own Windmill Gundam ready for the invasion.
If a Gundam only needs 3 units to be mass produced, then the V2 was also mass produced: we see 2 units in the anime, and another in a manga.
All the newer minion models do get the magnetic joints when it was invented? I think some of the reasons normal pilots can't use the unit is like when you play fps and the mouse sensitivity is crank up to 100. And the dutch wonder why people randomly blow up windmills when they attack.
I hope there's a video about GM'S that are based on gundams since I've always found those types of GM's interesting
There's also the 2 F90 units and the 2 F89 units (one of which got upgraded to the Anchor).
12:39 I think it would be cool if ZAFT went the Astray/Murasume route and make a whole ARMY of Impulse Gundams.
No. They ditch the missiles of Core Splendor immediately after launching it to dock into Impulse without ever firing them, the top brass would have a heart attack from that kind of ammo waste if they were to mass-produce them. XD
@@accelriderx2931 could've launch without tthem but yeah, the infamous stock footage makes it look like they ditch them everytime they launch them.
But monoeye sounds cheaper though. Monoeye Gundam is a thing, right?
So the Regenerate Gundam was a modified Aegis Gundam, there was the Proto Savior and the official Savior Gundams but they were either upgraded into the Proto Savior + 11 or mass produced as the Vent Savior, the last ones I can think of from Seed was the 3 different Sword Calamity Gundams and the Armed Raider Gundams. Do the wing Gundams count because of the semi cannonical New Mobile Report Gundam Wing Sidestory: Tiel's Impulse? That's all I can think of currently I might update this later.
For titan 4th mk2 unit, they most likely treat it as sparepart for remaining mk2 similar to what AEUG did to the 2nd stolen unit
If there's a 4th unicorn unit i would want it to be silver and be called fenrir after a wolf cuz that does complete the animal roster and it will make it more awesome if that 4th unit was more close combat focused
That was my idea several years ago. Even made a custom for it (still incomplete because I was missing parts).
@@neonnwave1 what was the color of psychoframe in Your idea
Nothing speaks animal like a screaming ghost
@@thedecisiveraindrop4868 said like someone who watched the episode 13 of kyukai senki
@@1996starter Blue
My personal favorite is the Gundam Mark 2, it was the first one from the Zeta series I ever built ( yeah I’m older) from the 80 s .
Love the Astray then her upgraded version Murasame.
i actually enjoy NT-1 / Alex the most out of the one year war era machines due to its relatively balanced Physical and Beam weapon loadout. it's the same reason why i enjoy using Hi-Nu. they are my primary suits when i play Gundam Assault Survive.
btw... did you just miss the Zeta Plus?
Thank you for bringing up the Zeta Plus as I was scrolling to see if someone mentioned it before I did.
Isn’t there a 4th Unicorn which appeared in G-self? It was black with red frame
Also, the one unit Banagher received could be a brand new one, as Yazan Gable got an AE made GUNDAM MKII which is identical to the original ones Titans produced back to U.C.0087 in MSV-R manga at U.C. 0090
I'm going to be that guy, what about the I-Saviour mobile suits from the G-Saviour movie?
They're not Gundams. Just Gundam-like in appearance. Just like the Astrays and Murasames.
Well in the F91 movie there was the crossbone vanguard, so like, is there some kind of relation between F91 and crossbone Gundam them? And 4:55 I kinda wish these were in victory Gundam lol
Weren't the second generation Gundams from Gundam 00 mass produced by the Innovators as the Black variants?
Yep, there was the Black Astrea, Black Plutone, Black sadalsuud and black abulhool using the inferior Solar reactors
Wasn't expecting a new video so soon, hell yeah!
I still can’t believe that 4x S Gundams got built, but only 1 was ever deployed. You’d think AE would arrange for at least 1 unit to get “stolen” or “lost in transit with all hands onboard” down the line.
In a fan timeline of mine, I've got the Oni Gundam, made for a faction's supersoldiers. The frame itself can be adjusted to match the body size of the pilots, the smallest being 20 meters.
oh man you gotta make another part to this cause WfM
I adore the editing, love how the music changes for each series
So how many units count as limited production and mass production
When i saw the video name I’m like did he mess that up because in my head it’s limited production
Raider full spec seems to be forgotten as a mass production unit (or limited) ....
no love for the Raider Full Spec...
This video is something I've wanted for a long time, and it's take more of a deep dive on the UC ones any day! Thank you and happy new year
from this list I'm between the unicorn gundam, gundam x, nebula blitz & the destroy - thou for the destroy I'd like to do the next version which for me is it taking design impute from the legend
The Gundam Marine type does show up in Gundam Katana - It's destroyed off-panel by a Zaku. You see it prior to deployment by the Titans, then the wreckage afterwards.
Never knew about the multiple Destiny Impulses, anyone know what happened to them? (I'm assuming its something to do with the Astray manga)
Hey kakarot , did you know that there are a few Char clones outside of Gundam ? Most notably Commander Farsight from Warhammer in his red battlesuit with a taste for melee .
In my novel there were enough blueprints for 16 Gundam Units! Only 12 were developed in secret on a reportedly abandoned Earth, while ONI got the other 4, using Unit 13 as the base for their own Mobile Suit armada the data for which eventually went into the X Series of prototypes and the other 3 being given to Martian forces to combat the people who were sent to pick up the Gundams originally but decided it best they be kept out of ONI's hands! Like, "are you going to give us what are, I should point out, OUR weapons?" "Nope! We don't trust you!" "Fine, we'll jus destroy you then!"
Just thought I'd throw a few more uc ms that i think were produced in "some" numbers, f90: 3 units, heavy gundam: 3-4 units, and one ms that is technically a gundam, zeta plus (all variants): ~20-30 units
I'd take any Gundam that lets me shoot my guns from range and has the armor to keep me alive!
Screw melee, you can't hit me if you are a smoking crater or an ashy pot mark on the dirt!
Hope you have plenty of energy reserves cowboy :)
I wanna say that unit 2 was in North America because in the recently released gundam game Code Fairy, you face off against a pilot named Lilith Aidan piloting a pixy. Later on in the game she (the pixy) is upgraded and given better armor and quite a few weapons including a twin beam spear, 2 beam sabers, and a beam gun, but the beam daggers were taken away.
I really think the 4th MK II unit was a later ret-con and most likely added in because (for what ever reason) once the AEUG captured all three Titian MK II's and then painted the unit in it's trade mark Gundam colors, the unit was then designated as [AG 004], shown on it's shoulder and shield markings, (which always really confused me). When you show the Zeta movie clip, (2:50 to 3:20) with the visual inconsistencies, it was most likely due to a continuity/ editing error, in other words that scene was meant to air at a different place in the movie during planning but but got changed in the final edit because they didn't want to waste costly all ready animated scenes. They probably thought no one would really notice the continuity issues in the end.
Correct me if I am wrong. In Gundam Wing Units 01-05 Use Zero as a base and are just modify versions which half of them recieve upgrade or new versions of their suits. Zero is based off the tallgeese which most mass produce in that world are also based on.
7:10 if the Pixie unit 2 was sent to Odessa then it all lines up. Unit 2 was stationed in North America and was given to Lt. Lilith Aidan of the Witch Hunt team. It was modified as a close-combat machine primarily using the GM Striker's twin beam spear. Lilith received the Pixie around the time of the Battle of Odessa.
The Witch Hunt team main job was to track down the Zeon MS team Noisy Fairy, which was also stationed in North America, under the command of California Base. Noisy Fairy was consisted of only female pilots, they was feared by the Federation hence referred to as Witches
With her Pixie, Lt. Lilith Aidan engaged the Noisy Fairy several occasions. However, no records was available as any evidence of the Noisy Fairy team was obsolete, speculate suggests by Zeon high command.
Could you possibly do a video about the development history of the Bigro Mobile Armor?
I am glad the Nether gundam got a hard mention...I am watching you Neo Holland.
9:41 a History Matters fan, also it’ll probably be Britain after the F1 season that came to an end earlier this month
Crossbone Vangaurd also had the Flints which where nerfed versions on the F97 but they aren’t called Flint Gundams so I can understand why they weren’t included
They were mass-produced models based on F97, not F97 -s.
On the other hand, the video forgot about F99 -s, which were intended for mass production, and SNRI made multiple units of them.
At 9:13, g-fighter has gaw carrier from uc timeline?
I don' remember if you made a video about this already. Or just a comment in a video but when does Mass Production units out perform Gundams/Hero units for different series?
Great video as always.
I've got a soft spot for the RX-79 Ground Type Gundam. It's the Federation literally throwing spare parts at Zeon until the GM can be produced.
Just my opinion,
There are mass produced ground type [S] in Gundam Thunderbolt then there are also the Hazel Gundams which were derived from the GM Quel.
I think you missed also 1 version of the strike gundam(strike rouge)
Thanks
I have doubts concerning the IBO part, I think I saw somewhere that not all gundam shared the same frame. For instance, I think that the Kimaris, Barbatos and Dentalion have each a different frame as the technology evolved as they were made. so ASW-G-[small number] have an older tech frame than ASW-G-[higher number]
I would love if they did a game with a gundam-x style story
I will say that in my Turn A Gundam fan fic all mass produced Gundam that survived to the end of their series ( the universal century, G Gundam, and Gundam X) are all possibilities of becoming mass produced Gundams in Turn A Gundam. ( My main character pilots a Gundam F91).
Also even though it is not called a gundam the Jack edge from Gundam age I do consider a mass produced Gundam.
Thanks for the hard work and happy new year.
Well considering that the phenex cannonically has the tail things on its armed armour DE's this probably means that the silver one could be a unit 4 (also can we just address how confusing the name RX0 is, it was developed much closer to uc100 and the whole la+ system was incorporated into one of them and was even redundant after episode 2 for any reason other than banager having a tantrum(
if i were to choose which mass production gundams.. i'd have to say either one of the astray types or one of the gundam frames. I honestly thought the Strike gundam would have counted as we had the strike rouge and a 2nd strike makes an appearence after its destroyed in seed. though the one that Mu pilots may be a repair job.
