I don't know why I said Gundam Lore in the beginning, or why I didn't spot it during editing lol. Also, anyone mentioning the scarlet team will be sniped on the spot. Bonus fact for people reading the pinned comment: The Fellowbooster was nicknamed F.F. by Federation soldiers, which supposedly stands for FlatFish in reference to its shape. (The flatfish in question is the olive flounder, aka Japanese flatfish) Personally, I’d like to believe that the Fellowbooster had an FF model number (like the Tin cod, Core Booster, etc.) and that this in combination with the shape led to FlatFish becoming the nickname(instead of F.F.)
I would like to point out that the RGM-79(G) GM Sniper could be equipped with any weapon used by "standard" ground units according to both model kits and the deluxe action figure... While canonically debatable it make logical sense in universe.
When would you consider doing the Guncannon's or maybe Guntank's? Because you got me interested in Guncannon's when you made the Top 5 best outdated mobile suits that weren't Gundam types.
"I don't see anything there. Just really large, slightly boxy, blue and light blue coloured bushes that occasionally make hissing sounds. Probably just warm summer breeze." "Sounds good!"
@@DarkAlex1978 Yeah. Unlike Zeon who wasted a lot of resources creating mobile armor prototypes with mixed results, the Federation emphasized a lot in cost effectiveness and quick mass production, creating a base model with somewhat standardized parts that can be produced by the thousands, and modified for specialized roles
One of the silliest things about UC Gundam is the millions of GM offshoots that were apparently developed and manufactured in the few weeks between the GM's introduction at the Battle of Jaburo and the end of the war, and the fact that not a single one of these were fielded at Solomon or A Baoa Qu. Star Wars has a similar problem with the Empire apparently having countless TIE variants that they never bothered to take to Endor, but the problem is made far worse in Gundam due to the short time-frame involved.
This is the main problem of retroactive additions to canon. Luckily, we only see a small percentage of those battles in the original Gundam shows, leaving room for OVAs and such to stray away from Amuro and crew and show us some of the other happenings with different machines.
I personally believe that as early as the RX-78 became successful, they emmidiately had plans for making variants for it and mass production models as well. But the existence of variants that appear after Jaburo sure are questionable. I guess we can conclude that these MS are results of Federation soldiers making up stories to make them selves sound cool when they tell war stories.
After seeing all these mobile suits in Gundam Battle Operation 2, I really appreciate learning the history behind them. Makes me wish for simulated battles of key parts of the One Year War through the Gryps Conflict.
Yeah this would be a cool addition to GBO2, that or something similar. Seems more reasonable than some of the ideas I thought up. Like something for aquatic MS. Just kinda bugs me seeing them land locked with no trace of water in sight outside the port base or far off in the mountain if ya know what I mean.
Eh, 0080 is quite possibly the worst example of GM combat footage. They only get two on-screen kills, one of which is more due to the Zeon pilot's stupidity than the GM's competence, and even their victories are framed as defeats. Episode 2 does feature a kill from a GM Command Space type, but the Zakus score a lot more kills.
@@zqfmgb4335 In that scene the GM's actually get two kills, while only losing 5 GM's. Which I think is a pretty good ratio, especially since many were scored by the gelgoog. But the rest of the show is indeed bad for showing GM fighting skills.
I love this kind of videos. Other category please... -Jegans/Jesta -Doms -Deltas -Gundam Ground Types and/or Local types -Goufs if there are other variants Thanks!!
@Newtype 0085 his avatar is actually the GM Sniper K9 from build fighters. The Red visor is because of the EXAM system that the Renato brothers installed as a trump card
GM Sniper 2 Job: -Specialize sniping Mobile Suit -Take the enemy out without being spotted Reality: -Spotted in a second and taken out when dropping from the ship Note: There's so many Federation Ace pilot use GM Sniper Custom as their Suit of choose, now I need those MGs
actually theres a third Sniper 2 in the deck of Grey Phantom, trying to snipe the Kampfer but sadly, its failed because Kampfer is too fast for the solid firing sniper rifle
Also it was a UC Gundam side story that always has Zeeks outperforming Feds. You only see competent Federation pilots in the main team of whatever the main series is.
Heh ... Staying in cover waiting for the target to appear and count your heart beats befor pulling the trigger but for the GM sniper ... I have to choose between the beam and solid ammo .. Beam is easily tracked and if a zeon pilot found out where I was I would be forced to find another spot but solid ammo is hard to track
Makes me wonder why nobody in the Universal Century ever invested into Railgun or Gauss Weaponry. You get the perks of ballistic weapons, with the advantage of a kinetic force that *will* hurt something no matter the armor, because the shot will either go right through the target, or turn anyone inside the target into Milkshake upon impact. I mean, how do you stop a projectile that goes several times the speed of sound to the point it hits near-instantanously? You can't, that's how. I mean, with Minovsky Space Magic, powering the magnets necessary shouldn't be much of a problem.
I'm not surprised there are that many of them. Snipers are a different breed. They have to stay even cooler than normal soldiers under fire. Because finding the shot, then taking the shot is an art form.
I would personally love to see a development history of the MSA-003 Nemo and the other Nemo's that spawned from it as the mobile suit is something of a favorite of mine from the Zeta era.
1:20 Oh hey, the GBO2 version! I was pretty annoyed the HGUC GM Sniper lacked that backpack. it was just the GM Ground painted green and given the rifle from the WD Sniper 2/Ground War Set.
You know military snipers in real life do more scouting and reconnaissance and less actual sniping as they are task to prevent their team from dying. This is basically what I heard from military people. The GM Sniper II should be completely black to camouflage better in space as they were used in 0080 pretty much out in the open with their bright blue colors.
@@26th_Primarch Yeah but it would just make more sense to be black as it is a sniper unit in space. I mean the other GM Snipers were green or a mix of mustard yellow and dark green which can be used for camouflage. The Sniper II units were seemingly mostly blue and even the Dingo ones were bright colors.
@@26th_Primarch True but it was an OVA, they had more budget in it. Also it could have been a lighter darker color too like very very dark blue or a dark grey. They could have colored space a little brighter like in the older Gundam series. Also they never sold the GM Sniper II as a model kit or toy before the HGUC GM Sniper II so toy sales isn't really an option at the time for the GM Sniper II and the Alex got one really early as it was a Gundam. The GM Sniper II got it in 2012, years after 0080.
I love it when people try and strain their brains to make sense of these kinds of giant robots. I'm an old school Battletech fan and it gets me every time! Most of any Gundam series happens in space amongst orbiting colonies. It's like the beginnings of a Dyson Sphere (no, the gargantuan sphere in Star Trek TNG doesn't count) at the time of 0079. And Tomino *knew* that giant robots wouldn't work in real life unless they were floating in zero-G. The gravity of Earth, and PHYSICS, makes BattleMechs and Mobile Suits, impossible.
Fun fact unless it has changed the usa military has a standing order of we are interested for battlemechs between 6 and 18 tons ( 5 to 20 for round numbers) puting them more of less in line with votoms and or gears from heavy gear.
Each universe has their reasoning of making them practical. Minovsky particles in UC Gundam making reactors cheap and compact as well as fucking radar up. BattleTech with the new polymer giving mechs basically fake human muscle for mobility, flexibility, strength and being very cheap.
@ulforcemegamon3094 no idea I got it 2nd hand should have clarified that problem was I could never find a project my self I know there was one walker mock up made for a Russian trade show that was supposed to be connected to s practical project that was from popular mechanics in like 2016 so that's getting old.
Thanks Kakarot for another informative video. I love Sniper types just as mich as I love Melee based suit and High Mobility types. I wish the next main line gundam has either a kick ass Female MC, a Main Gundam with Sniper Parts option or just a Sniping one or both.
Did you check out his video covering some ReZEL Defensers, The Three Arrows. I mean it isn't like Gundam doesn't have any female pilots but it would be interesting to see maybe a team set up kinda like 00 had. Range, close, etc. Though now this has got me thinking of Kyosuke & Excellen.
I did, but they are in a side story. Yeah there are women in Gundam but honestly, its rare for them to be in the same boat as other male pilots. Of the top of my head, the badass female pilots are Haman, Fram, Katejina, Rondo Mina, Soma Peries for Pilots. Sumeragi, Kati, Murrue for Warship Captains. The rest are either the tragic Psychic Love Interest, The Childhood Friend, the Pacifistic Royal Love Interest. The way they are handled in Seed with a few exception is better left unsaid.
Yeah I kinda figured you might have, but I figured I'd ask anyway. I agree that it would be interesting to see what they'd do with the concept given how most series have an all rounder machine(s) rather than a mixed team like the OG & 00. Kinda makes me wonder in a way how 00 would have gone if Lyle's older brother Neil had instead been his 'older' twin sister. -Edit: Realized I forgot to mention the Phenex's pilot arguably being better than Narrative's as well as ALICE outright being better than her partner.
HG GM Guard Custom. I had a little too much trouble trying to pose it holding shield and beam gun normally, so I said "I CAN FLY!!!", put beam daggers on wrists and had it stand on the board...I mean shield.
It's always amusing for me to see iron sights and scopes on these mobile suits. If they had the tech to make a fully articulate anthropomorphic machine, they sure as hell would have invented combat computers that do all the aiming and targeting for the pilot. But hey they still use coincidence range finders in a lot of mecha anime so it's probably just aesthetics.
Hi-Zack Custom is my favourite mass production MS in the game Kidou Senshi Gundam : Giren no Yabou series. Perfect balance of cost, performance and production time.
While it was stated that the GM Kai High Mobility Type was said to have been modified to match the GM II, it really didn't. While it was faster and had more powerful thrusters, it's cockpit and generator were first generation. Meaning no 360 panoramic view, and the generator had the same output as the GM Sniper II. It's sensors also didn't compare to the GM II either. This kind of shows that the Titans only said it was a match and never really intended to formally adopt the GM II into their forces because they weren't responsible for it's development, unlike the Gundam Mark II.
F I N A L L Y- you have been thinking about this one for a while. About damn time, man. Also, choice music this time around. Should really post track listings. What was the track used when you spoke of the original GM Sniper?
You know I always knew there was a reason I liked the GM sniperbut now that I learned that it was a test bed for my favorite unit in all of the universal century The pale Rider I love it even more
Ironically if Zeon made a Zaku like this and place them in squads they could have easily won a decent number of engagements with Gundams, let alone other mobile suites.
In the Gundam battle operation 2 game it said that the GM sniper 2 was very difficult to maintain and thus was never able to perform at it's max capacity.
Never did understand why they didn't continue to make sniper units they always seem to be super effective I mean even the zaku sniper which was built off a zoku one still super effective in the time of unicorn
Yes, Nemo is the simplified version of Simper II. Anaheim wanted to make a GM II competitor, so they reverse engineered the most powerful RGM-79 model and made a mass production model based on it.
If I got my hands on a GM Sniper II, I'd mod the hell out of it to be specialized as a close-range gunslinger with super-advanced close targeting systems and performance enhancements to up its agility and thruster efficiency. Nothing would be able to touch me.
Outside of a few models here and there, I have seen and/or used most of these GM/G-Line models in GBO2. Just too bad that in general most Sniper units do not go beyond GM models, Zaku I and lastly the Hi-Zack custom. Especially when the Jesta or Geara Doga could make just as good if not better Sniper models.
I don't know why I said Gundam Lore in the beginning, or why I didn't spot it during editing lol. Also, anyone mentioning the scarlet team will be sniped on the spot.

I’m in a mobile suit that is 18 meters tall, there’s no way I can be spotted. No way.
Well, when the enemy is also 18 meters tall and you're hiding in cities or jungles, I guess this works out.

Same
GM = Storm Trooper
- Always die
- Worst Aim ever
- Don't get enough love
And somehow they get a lot better when main characters are involved.
And when the main character goes rogue then they'll be 10x more skilled.

i really wish they made a short series to show case the titans test team and hazel gundams
I hope youre playing Gundam Battle Operation 2
All the suits you cover are basically in the game and the gameplay is just so much fun
Never did understand why they didn't continue to make sniper units they always seem to be super effective I mean even the zaku sniper which was built off a zoku one still super effective in the time of unicorn
gm sniper 2 is in gundam evolution baby!
R.I.P Kergerenko
Keep up the great work
great video,i love sniper roles and GM are looking cool ,K9 sniper is the great
Welp time to buy the mg gm sniper 2
I really these mobile suit development videos, keep on doing this great series,!
Great video, may I suggest a next topic being about some underappreciated federation ace and their mobile suits? (like Yuji Alkana and his GM striker)
Wonder why GM Sniper II served as inspiration for the Nemo? *looking at the backpack*
Yes, Nemo is the simplified version of Simper II.
Anaheim wanted to make a GM II competitor, so they reverse engineered the most powerful RGM-79 model and made a mass production model based on it.
Not only the backpack, but the entire thruster layout was based from the Sniper II in the development of the Nemo
Kakarot as always spreading knowledge👌❤ if only he is our teacher in history😂
Great breakdown!!!!!!
NEW DEVELOPMENT HISTORY!? Today's gonna be a good day
Nice video. Could we eventually see that Dagger/Windam dev history video too? 😊
5:22 *Nice.*
Also the GM Sniper II is my favourite GM.
7:50 *I smell a Halo reference.*
Zeke's running for the HLV
GM Sniper's got a bead
Now who's weighed down by gravity?
Super napalm sticks to kids
0:55 just like dynames Gundam when sniping with it's long range distance equipment
If I got my hands on a GM Sniper II, I'd mod the hell out of it to be specialized as a close-range gunslinger with super-advanced close targeting systems and performance enhancements to up its agility and thruster efficiency. Nothing would be able to touch me.
Still sad that some of these won't be in GBO2, but the WOST one is that the GM cannon can't hold a Gm II beam rifle
7:40 Chief, mind telling me why you are a mobile suit?
that moment in Rise from the Ashes when you get the GM Sniper II White Dingo customs.
Can't wait for the Zaku II video. It'll be like 40 minutes long with all the mass produced type variations and custom versions...
Please do more development history videos of all the Gundam mobile suits
First time on your channel but hey great job on the history of the GM sniper I didn't know there where so many types 🤣😂😂😂
Outside of a few models here and there, I have seen and/or used most of these GM/G-Line models in GBO2. Just too bad that in general most Sniper units do not go beyond GM models, Zaku I and lastly the Hi-Zack custom. Especially when the Jesta or Geara Doga could make just as good if not better Sniper models.
*sees number on gm guard custom* nice
Oh man... Would you do a video like this for the Gyan and it's successors? A really unique and controversial suit with a superb HGUC Revive kit!
@ 5:19 , nice.
Federation making the strongest MS so fast than making the skilled pilot
5:20 Nice
*sees guard custom's shield* - Nice
Kinda coincidental that I just bought an MG of this....even if I have the Sniper II...also, that 69 GM guard
GM guard custom CV69 nice
