Mechanista in G

An unsung hero overshadowed by the tone of its arc of the anime, the Hamma Hamma is a truly sick robot. It manages to be a successor to the Zaku, the Zeong, the Psycho Gundam, and more, all in one slinky-armed pal. The funny thing is when Mashymre gets new machines, they're all downgrades in comparison. Luv u hamma friend If you want to find us on Twitter, Dylan is @lowpolyrobot and Six is @sixdet...

Well, I suppose we had to get a stinker eventually. I (Six) write these descriptions, and I get to say that this episode stars a design that is bad. It's just not good. Now, the Amon Doc, that's funny. The Muttowooo, that's cool. The Low-Zack, WOW the Low-Zack. But the Baund Doc? No. Nah. This ain't it, chief.

I like the Zeong, but if you ask me, the arrival of the Qubeley feels like the first TRUE mobile suit designed exclusively for a newtype. Big shoulders, bird-like head, organically flowing yet distinctly unnatural armor, and those funnels... boy. Truly one of the all-time great gundam designs. This is the gallery of likely fanart that still contains some really sick and quality renders that made u...

Three model numbers? Don't be so greedy, Rick Dias. This crosshair monoeye guy is an unsung star of early Zeta, and has some really interesting variants as well! The Super Dias should be cooler than it is, though. I mean it's called the SUPER DIAS! And I know, on the Mk-II ep I was down on the Super Gundam but I was wrong, the Super Gundam is sick. So the Super Dias should also be sick. But it isn...

Apologies in advance for some less than ideal audio: there were a lot of difficulties, and I did my best. I hope you enjoy it despite them. Your body is home to a power of which you are yet unaware. The power... of AURA! And with this power you could be a hero in the parallel realm of BYSTON WELL! Come with us to the world of an overlooked Tomino mecha show, accompanied by some very special guests...

Zimmad, my friend? You did something right. Forget the Zudah and the Gyan, the great success of Zeonic's development rival lies before us, and it's a hell of a success. I might argue the Dom is cooler than the Zaku. I would certainly argue that some of these variants are cooler than the Zaku's variants. But you know what? This is a nearly four hour episode, I think you probably don't need to hear...

Unfortunately, despite the term being used very differently here, I don't get to add a new type of unit covered to our list. We have technically covered things called "mobile workers" before. But these pals? These dime-store Tachikomas? They ain't like that. Y'know what's really funny is that these things are a tossed-off handful of designs in IBO, but this sort of design is basically the foundati...

mannnnn the Gerbera Tetra Kai is so COOL. Hajime Katoki saved this one. Look I do on the show play up being a Katoki fan because it's funny the way Dylan gets mad when I defend some of Katoki's more questionable design choices, but he does hit a lot of winners. Ver Kas are popular for a reason. And when he gets his hands on a variant of Cima's sick speedster, he really turns on the gas. Or somethi...

Time for another listener request! Somehow, we end up talking almost as much about the show as we do the robots! I'll be honest, it's my fault, it's because I didn't have the energy to go into the Hyakuren/Shiki/Ryusei-Go rabbit hole. Shoutouts to Lafter, she's sick.

More Zaku than a Zaku, more GM than a GM! Everyone please applaud for the Leo, star of the Organization of the Zodiac! We're here to talk about an all-time grunt design, joined by Waypoint's Ricardo Contreras. This is one robot that got JUNK up in the TRUNK.

On this listener request episode, we bring you an AoZ: Traitor to Destiny design requested by Giant Shooty Robots!, a fellow mecha podcast! Listen to Dylan bitterly admit that this is pretty cool! Except the Maneuver which is admittedly pretty dumb! We all have our flaws. If you want to find us on Twitter, Dylan is @lowpolyrobot and Six is @sixdettmar .

Happy 100th episode! We thought we'd do something a little different this episode, as perhaps you can see. We racked our brains for fun ideas and came up empty, so let's just talk about Samus! That lady is dope. She is not a mecha, nor is her power suit. But eff it man, close enough! If you want to find us on Twitter, Dylan is @lowpolyrobot and Six is @sixdettmar .

On this ep, we're blessed with a guest! The editor-in-chief of MAHQ, an invaluable mecha resource, Chris Guanche joins us to talk robots! And the thing is, Chris has been at this a LONG damn time. So we can just roll ANYTHING! Turns out we still just got a regular, mainline UC suit, but, imagine the world where we rolled something really crazy! What a world. If you want to find us on Twitter, Dyla...

I always knew that episode on the Zaku II was too short! Here we go, this is what I'm talking about: another like two and a half hours of Zaku Talku. There are so many face-pipe friends to discuss, and we're delighted to share them with you. We even get to talk about some of the fun new Code Fairy machines too!

This one's all new to me! I guess you could say this is actually a spoiler episode for ME, not just GGP listeners! That's ok, as part of this job I accept that I'll be spoiled on things. That's what the pay is for. ... ... ...WAIT Anyway it's time for the photon-powered, color-changing, horn-headed Gundam of G-Reco!

Well, we've been hoisted a bit, haven't we? We can't really talk about the Zaku I. I mean. We can talk about its variants! That'll keep us busy! But it looks pretty foolish that we can't talk about the main machine itself. This is... gonna happen more and more as we do this pod, isn't it? Well. I guess that's just how it is. I'll just have to accept this and move on. If you want to find us on Twit...

There is in fact such a thing as too much. Or, maybe there isn't. Maybe there's only a point where the excess ceases to be well-managed. Somewhere along the line of this mobile suit's lineage, the design takes a bad step, and never fully recovers. I mean, I say "somewhere," but it's not like a secret. It's with the Reborns Gundam Origin. Everything thereafter is a mess. It's a shame, I do like the...

Thanks to Gundam Wing never getting the MSV treatment, we're going Future Century-style this episode with a double roll! First, a sort of a Dom/Guntank/Zaku/whatever friend, in the form of perhaps the number one jobber of After Colony, the Tragos! Then we get to talk about a pretty interesting G-UNIT design that is a tribute to... wait, the Big Zam?! If you want to find us on Twitter, Dylan is @lo...

Whether I want to or not, listeners, I can't help believing you! And with only one episode this we trust our fate to you, and your requests. Nor did you steer us wrong: we can't argue with discussing the machine that won the Gryps Conflict, the invoker of the Ghost Parade, the mighty Zeta.

Maaaaaaan. I really want a RE/100 of the Gengaozo. That lightning-shooting backpack unit? Fuala really had a killer sense of style. The only bummer is I think it’s too bulky to ride in an Einerad. Truly tragic. I suppose you don’t really need an Einerad in space, though, right? … ...ok next project, Space Einerad...

What does the term "upgrade" really mean? Was Windows Vista an "upgrade" to Windows XP? I mean sure it could run Halo 2 but everyone knows that's just because they specifically coded it not to run on XP so they could sell copies of Vista! Anyway the Berga Giros may be an "upgrade" to the Berga Dalas but the Dalas is better. That's all I'm really trying to say here. also i like windows aero, i'm on...

Let's look at a green sniper bud, shall we? Honestly that's my favorite approach to a Gundam team. Like I love the ZZ Gundam team, they're great, but I love it when the various Gundams on the team fill different combat roles. We've talked about the Exia, our close combat specialist. Now let's talk about the Gundam that can snipe you out of orbit. The Dynames rules, is the thing. If you want to fin...

ONE. FUTURE CENTURY. SUIT. LEFT. Honestly we frontloaded the stinkers (mostly, listen the Master is cool, don't jump down my throat) so now the ones we have left are pretty fun to talk about! First, we've got the Neo French fighter with bits and flair, and then we get to talk about the German ninja robot. You know, from the famous Munich school of ninjutsu. If you want to find us on Twitter, Dylan...

I feel like you listeners are starting to go mad with power. Yes, we obeyed this time. We talked about Patlabor, as requested. But don't let this go to your head. This is, at least for now, a Gundam podcast. We're happy to talk about other robots as a change of pace sometimes. It's fun! I like other robots! But if y'all try to make me talk about Optimus Prime I'm gonna get pissy. If you want to fi...

We finally round out the last piece of Operation V, with in my opinion the unsung hero of the bunch. Sure, everyone loves the Gundam, and with good reason. It's the GUNDAM. And who can't appreciate the Guntank, an ill-conceived machine that probably shouldn't exist. But the Guncannon? It's the middle child, forgotten and neglected. Well, I think it's great. And I don't care if you feel differently...
