    We all know this was inevitable.
    Also, I want to point out something I’ve never seen anyone talk about when it comes to the GM Quel.
    The ones that appear at the end of the 0083 anime are visually distinct from the lineart and later modelkits/action figures (the most obvious ones are the lower legs resembling those of the GM Custom and the lower arms resembling those of the GM Kai). This could mean that an early/rollout version existed prior to the final production version. (an IRL explanation could be that the animators/artist either made a mistake or received an earlier sketch)

    About time we finally got a Development History for a Gundam, albeit I would’ve preferred starting with the OG RX-78-2, but this works as well because doing a development history of the OG would’ve resulted in a massive series that probably would’ve resulted in a spin-off for the GM/Jim series of MS

    "At which point did it go from being a GM Quel to being a Gundam?"
    The way I see it, there are two answers to this question: an "on paper" answer, and a "inner mechanics" answer. The "on paper" answer, would be that the Hazel II became an official Gundam when its name and model number were changed from RGM-79Q GM Quel Hazel Reserve Unit to RX-121-2 Gundam TR-1 [Hazel II]. This was when the "Little GM Quel that could" was officially rolled out of storage and pushed into service. The "inner mechanics" answer, then, is that the Hazel II became a full-fledged Gundam when it was further redesigned into the RX-121-3C Gundam TR-1 [Haze'n-thlay]. By this point, few, if any, of the parts of the original GM Quel Hazel Reserve Unit remained, being mostly parts derived from, or intended for use by, the Gundams TR-1 and TR-6. The other incarnations between these two points, then, are a gradual phasing out of specific components, gradually making the Hazel II less of a GM Quel, and more of a Gundam.
    Those be my thoughts on the matter, at least. What do other peoples think?

      @@acidous, Unicorn Era Banshee disagrees.....
      Technically, Booster Propellant detonating isn't LETHAL of a MS so long the cockpit area hasn't become exposed, it's rsther that because Shields for MS are SUCH EXPENDABLE equipment by design that both sides wanted SOMETHING else to validate the use of so many Materials to mass produce a piece of MS standard gear that gets deatroyed every single battle

    • @andrehashimoto8056
      @andrehashimoto8056 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Rocket fuel is rather fine imo, as level of damage would depend a lot more about the AMOUNT in the fuel tank.
      Stupid is to have the shields be equiped with AMS ROCKETS such as the Revil Ship Jengans, since it's a DEDICATED MS combat weapon, having it detonate FAR too close the MS torso is the most dangerous aspect as the shield has to take it into account when being designed and it raises far more issues (i.e: it has to have a Blow out zone to redirect the explosion if it gets hit, this means some sectors are less armored and become weakspots, further making the purpose of having such a Shield useless)

    @sim.frischh9781 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Well the Quell was used as a technology test bed/experimental unit, while Gundams are usually "prototypes" which then get turned into weaker mass production types.
    So one could argue the Hazel was never a Gundam as it was not a "Prototype", it did not spearhead a new design series but was testing what would later become a new unit.
    Rivaling a Gundam in strength doesn´t make a MS a Gundam, otherwise the Gelgoog would be a Gundam as well.
    However the MS has proven to be remarkably versatile, allowing vast modification of even substential system elements. Kudos for the Quell.

      My point, even there are units with gundam head type, not all unit are using name "gundam". Some unit are using gundam appearance as paper tiger, but the unit's name aren't gundam. In this case, GM quel reserve unit. It is officially become "gundam" when it changed its name to: gundam TR-1 (hazel II).
      Then, Blue destiny unit 1 is not add name "GM". and so, blue destiny unit 2 & 3 are not add "gundam". Also pale rider/todesritter.
      Another example, unlike mass product nu gundam, mass product z gundam (not zeta plus) and zz gundam both are bearing name gundam although the unit are not using gundam head type.

      There is seventh...but we can only speculate, I mean the og Gundam was pretty outdated in comparison to the Gundam designs that came after, the reason was due to advances in technology going into the frame of the mech, the cockpit could have been adjusted to be a working version, however you lose the ability to eject via fighter craft, besides that the only upgrades I can see working would be engine upgrades, thruster upgrades, weapons upgrades, allowing it to carry ammo for a clip-fed beam rifle or other equipment, loss of the fighter for a linear cockpit, and if they even wanted to try it, add psycho-frame to allow it to respond just on thought, however, the mech would retain its size and out height practically all of the mechs that came after the battle of Aboa Qu.

      If we count Thunderbolt as canon, Fleming's FA Gundam would survive and sortie against the Atlas with the Reuse Psycho Device Mk. II (for greater irony, Daryl Lorenz was the Thunderbolt Mk. II's pilot, assisting Levann Fuu's Psycho Zaku Mk. II).

      tbh gabthley, hi-zack, galbaldy beta and marasai (especially when you take off its helmet) all looks more zeonic than the actual axis zeon suits, so whatever. If anything, AoZ designs shouldn't look more advanced than even the f91 era suits (seriously, how they're powering up all those crazy powerfull guns?). They should also scale down on superweapons, but that's the problem with gundam stories in general - you either end up with colony drop or a gigant superlaser.

      I think the explanation would be that all of the experimental technology used on the Hazels is the raw uncut forms of them with a bunch of guts sticking out whereas when this tech would be used on mass produced models it was cleaned up more. Sorta like the innards of a computer looking super high tech until you put the case on them and cover them up for safety

    That's a fantastic question. Obviously it became classified officially with the designation change, but I think that the moment it became a proper Gundam was when its performance exceeded that of the average mass-production units of its time. We're talking a big difference and not something like 0.2% better.

      The TR project was buried while some of them defected to Mars Zeon (TR6 line). As for the Hazel, it was believed to be scrapped since EFF have sub contracted out all of their MS development to AE until they form the SNRI and just bought off the shelf Jegans and some test units that AE develops.
