I think Dreadnought could be a reference to famous class of battleship developed before world war I. The design was so revolutionary that older battleships of the time was classified as "pre-dreadnought". It's more popular use of the word than it's actual meaning of not-dreading. Same as Gundam Leopard is reference to Leopard tank than actual animal.
Imagine being the hottest mass produced mobile suit of your faction with all right weapons and top-of-the-line specs only to be replaced by a Zaku that snuck into your universe along with his pals Gouf and Dom?
THIS was the gelgoog of Zaft but poor writing and insecurities caused the creators of Gundam Seed Destiny that were just ripping off 0079 to rely heavily on fan service.
GuAIZ is basically Seed version of Gelgoog. It's one of the first mass production ms to have beam rifles, yet it enters the war too late to truly shine.
@@Joshua_N-A it could, but the treaty zaft sign with the ea and orb limited the number ms each side can launch, so they needed a ms that can do multiple things at the same time with little to no cost, and zaku warrior wizard packs fit the bill, but they could easily modify the assault shroud system to do the same

I love the unique designs of ZAFT Mobile Suits in the 1st Bloody Valentine War. However, ZAFT had become another Zeon after GSD began. (Zaku Warrior? Gouf Ignited? Dom Trooper? Gelgoog Menace? Gyan Sturm? Come on!)
meanwhile in an alternate scenario Lacus gave the Freedom to Kira but the Freedom has a GuAIZ head unit instead of a Gundam head unit and Kira was like "what?"
its such a damn shame that the GuAIZ was just completely ignored in favor of the more SHINY ZAKU Warriors with a general update with the R version. I would always find it odd that the decision to NOT incorporate other forms of generalizing it like giving it an Assault Shroud later on or even use dummied down Wizard Packs when the ZAKUs were rolled out like heck, the BuCUE's were given a Wizard Pack, so why not give the GuAIZ R its own Wizard Pack, it would certainly maybe increase its survivability. They would certainly have the time to do it before Destiny, so what might be the reasons that the GuAIZ was not made up to spec despite the BuCUE getting an up to spec upgrade?
look at it like this, the zaku was developed with a new philosophy in mind(modular machine that can have diferent equipments based on the mission), but the guaiz was old tech, that was far more static(each machine would require a heavy reconstruction to accept new equipments). the guaiz r was less of a new machine, and more of an ugrade to make use of old machines to use more updated equipment, since its cheaper. it even work when you look at why the zakus were made in the first place, as the dagger's versatility did make it a very interesting machine, even if weaker than the guaiz(its kinda like the gelgoog vs the gouf).
The copout real life answer is "because they were designed to be stolen" :/ Afaik, no in universe answer exists. The best I can think of is that they were just testing out Alliance tech at first and saw that it was more expensive than their monoeye tech, but also offered some benefits. And so you have the split, monoeyes for mass production units and twin eyes for Gundam types. (Warning: this answer is me overthinking things at midnight)

@@colonelgubitz5916 what im trying to say is, we probably wont get a MG dagger, or MG m1 astray, suits of that nature. because the MG zaku warriors frame could be fit to make a MG ginn, it happened. however the driving force that probably made them even design the MG Ginn was its various possibilities for P bandai Releases, not only with suits but with weapon packs (D-type equipment)

@@marcosdheleno True, but I am curious of why the Providence was made in the first place, and with that name too. It's like this MS was made specifically for Rau La Crausset in case something were to happen with the Freedom and Justice. The Legend more so, I mean is it made and named to reflect the devastation brought by the Providence?
@@Addition2 providence is normally meant as a divine design. in this case, it makes perfect sense, as it was meant to be a divine retribution. about why it was made, i dont see it that way. if anything, the justice is the anti freedom unit. the providence was the culmination of the pod technology. it was intended to be used in tandem with its sister units, you could even see it as the mid range one, taking out every one that comes close, while the justice would be the hit and run.
It's cool that back then we'd get kits like cgue or Ginn insurgent(Just got one the other day!) as a regular release. Nowadays they'd prob release it as p-bandai and we'd have to pay the crappy marked up price for it. Well, unless you live in one of the 5(?) countries that has the web store.
Same. I actually really like the Ginn, there's just something cool about a grunt suit that uses a fucking sword rather than a beam saber or a heat axe.
It would be interesting to see the development history of the Zaku Warrior, Gouf and Dom in Seed. Cause it seems like they just came out of nowhere and replaced the GuAIZ and other units. Granted, the Slash ZAKU Phantom piloted by Yzak is one my favorite Seed/Destiny MS.
I really really enjoy these videos you put out! You do an excellent job with them! I hope you not only continue to make them, but also keep expanding into other timeline/universes. Some 00 development history videos would be cool. And honestly I'd love to see you tackle the long design history of the GM. But obviously that would be as big or bigger than your Zaku mini-series. Hell, probably would be bigger for sure.

@@tyhy1 funnily enough, that can be thanks to the fact that they use variations of High-Z Metal Foams in their shielding construction, given that this is the first Gundam that outright states that they know that metal foams exist.
As a GuAIZ fan, this video about my favorite mass produced Mobile Suit is greatly appreciated! HGCE, please...! I also coincidentally grabbed a Dreadnought HG to kitbash a G3 Saviour Gundam.
Hyped for the next episode! Did not know that the railguns from the Freedom, one of my favorite weapon designs, came from the GuAIZ. The more you know.
stuff like this is why im subscribed to this channel, if I ever cant remember something about a mobile suits history or lore or even other gundam lore. I can always count on Kakarot to give me that good stuff and feed my addiction to gundam..... gundam...better than sex
Twin beam claw shield. I don't know how but the Ram Z'Gok is trying to get a lawsuit about this. Honestly that Guaiz has my keen interest now. Guaiz R sounds more practical, what with the giant guns instead of the hip mounted claws, but I'm sure one could strike a happy medium.
Damn the GuAlz got shat on in the end and oh the Dreadnought. I know about that thanks to Cross Rays and overall sick history lesson again and can't wait hear about Kira's first broken machine before he became God and Athrun's good machine.
Glad to see this! The GuAizR is in fact my favorite mobile suit ever. Of all time. Not just from SEED (the first series I watched) but out of all the series I've watched. Someday I hope a Master Grade Gunpla of it gets released so that I can have one of my very own.
The Ginn hi-maneuver type 2 was shown as more capable because all of their pilots were highly skilled veterans of the first war. All which were fanatics of Patrick Zala's ideals. It's similar to how zeon veterans preferring to get a zaku high mobility type over getting a gelgoog or Rick Dom in the later stages of OYW.
Great stuff as always. Since the Dreadnought was covered into this video, i hope to see a Hyperion Gundam development history, since its also related to the Umbrella of Artemis!
So they had the GuAIZ on the design board prior to the theft of the Gundams. And once they got the technology, they took their original GuAIZ design and reworked it to incorporate the new tech. That something I did not know and I search for intel. And I did not know that the N-Jammer Canceler was located in the head of the Dreadnought. Again, I did search. Guess its the same with the other nuclear powered Gundams? It was sad about the GuAIZ R. We don't even know WHEN it rolled out? Or what pilots thought about it compared to the original?
Wish those were mainstay in Destiny. The EFT variant could also be improved upon and making a derivative for ZAFT elite soldiers. That subflight system could assist in atmospheric battle.
@@williambenedictalava2634 GuAIZ Experimental Firearms Type is my favourite GuAIZ variant. Heine should've use it in Destiny. That sub-flight system could've save his life.
Love your channel and loving the lore. Wasn't it because the Freedom and Justice and their later upgrades had a nuclear fission reactor or N jammer canceller. to keep the Trans phase shift going indefinitely?
Looking at the time frame in which the N-Jammer was "developed" alongside the customized delivery vehicles used to put them beyond the reach of any Earthbound powers (or even ZAFT themselves) I have come to believe that the N-Jammer and the plan to deploy them on Earth were already completed and in existence BEFORE the Bloody Valentine and that attack was allowed to be carried out so the Coordinator Supremacists would have a Causis Belli for declaring war and carrying out the attack.
the way i see it, its basically like a "lets imagine a new unit from the ground up" kind of thing. it happens alot, with people designing new things to do the job, instead of how to make something better. besides, they did continue the development of the guaiz, with the guaiz R. which came out after the zaku.
Unfortunate timing mostly. Destiny came out for the 25th anniversary of Gundam, and Bandai wanted to push out the classic models with an "updated" line using the Cosmic Era as a showcase. The idea would be that they could sell the new and old kits alongside each other, so ZAFT's design language had to go from UC-inspired to UC-adjacent.
@@bzoner16 i like the redesigns, to me, they are far better than the crap f90 pulled with the "oldsmobile" BS. it was even more insulting because it went as far as remaking the "last shooting" scene.
I love the experimental firearms types hip rail guns so much I put them on my custom Astray series including the M1 variant, I made them from scratch but regardless. I also put a scope on the rail guns as well for better accuracy. And the EFT Is the only reason why I want to get a Justice gundam Just so I can put the backpack onto a guaiz to make a eft variant
Said it before, but I'll say it again; why did they go with "N Jammer Canceller" when they could've gone with the maybe equally creative but far more elegant "Anti N Jammer"
I hope they keep making MG seed & HG Seed Destiny kits. Some HG Revive G weapons, Akatsuki, Murasame, or Legend A 1/100 Cgue, Guaiz, Raider, Forbidden, Strike Noir, or Strike Dagger
The GINN and the GuAIZ were one of my favorite MS from seed, design wise. It sucks to see that the author decided to go for nostalgia bait by putting Zaku, Gouf, and Dom into the series. Wish they had a better treatment rather than being swept under the rug.
The GuAIZ and GINN give Cosmic Era more identity originality. GuAIZ R should've been ZAFT mainstay in GSD. A high performance derivative based on the Experimental Firearms Type would used by ZAFT red elites and high ranking officers. Heine should've pilot it in his colours. I can imagine Lunamaria's custom GuAIZ R already. Instead of the DOM, it should've been a MS derived and based off the Duel Assault Shroud but the armour isn't detachable like Duel's but instead it's a modular armour with levels of protection such as level I which is the base form is similar in shape and mass to the Duel AS while level III is a bolt on armour which result the suit is as bulky and thick as the FAZZ from ZZ. As for the GINN, just give it the ZAKU torso and done.
How about a Top 10 Unsolved Mysteries in Gundam? Three off the top of my head are: what happened to Dorel Ronah after F91, was Durandal the one who liberated Canard from the lab, and how did ZAFT create the Duel's AS so quickly after.
the third one is actually easier to explain, since its basically repurposed equipment that was modded to fit the duel, the better question is, how did they repair the lost leg that was blown off by the strike's cannon.
Possible answer for the Duel AS would be the upgrade plan was designed by OMNI and was installed in the Duel database and ZAFT just recreate them with ZAFT tech. As if it was design from the ground up by ZAFT, it would have taken longer due to updating the Duel internal to fit the AS, in which Duel would actually be absent in most of the Archangel hunting battles. And OMNI would require a longer time to gather enough field data of the Duel AS and start the production of the Long Dagger Fotestra.
@Shadow Hyperion Agreed in terms of concept, but there are a few "holes" that made me have my speculation. 1) The AS for the GINN is a totally different design with the Duel AS and it is impossible for GINN AS to directly refitted on the Duel. 2) There are hard points around Duel from the start to support the AS to begin with that makes me doubtful ZAFT remodel the Duel to fit the AS. 3) While it is possible that Zaft can redesign the AS for Duel from the ground up, it would takes time and resources from design, production and test trial to ensure it work on the Duel, in which would requires the Duel to be transfer out of the front line to conduct the testing, but we do not see this in the series. Heliopolis Incident (CE71 Jan 25) till Duel AS 1st deployment (CE 71 Feb 13) only have 19 days. 4) The AS concept while powerful, but its implementation does not pass CGUE Assault as production has start to be focus on implementing the G Weapon Technology into the GuAIZ and later the 5 NJC Gundams, in which to design a AS from the ground up for 1 captured unit doesn't seems wise in resource management. 5) While OMNI had the original design plans of the Duel, which produce the Long Dagger, assuming the AS was design was by ZAFT from the ground up, it would be insufficient for OMNI to observe enough of Duel AS to gather enough field data for them to replicate the Fotestra and deploy with their Long Dagger (in which the lore mention it was provided by observation data by Archangel, but timing wise questionable, discuss in next point) 6) Assuming OMNI develop the Fotestra using Archangel data alone, the timing for Duel AS 1st deployment (CE 71 Feb 13) until final battle of Strike VS Aegis ( CE 71 Apr 15), Archangel have not many points of establish contact with OMNI or to send the data over for OMNI to start designing the Fotestra other than arriving on JOSH-A (CE 71 Apr 17) with the deployment of the Long Dagger sighted in battle of Panama (CE71 May 25). Assuming OMNI did not waste any time, they are able to open a production line from scratch and deploy them in 38 days, which is too short. Therefore, it is speculate that the Duel AS might have been an upgrade designed on paper by OMNI (possible inspired by Ginn AS) and loaded on the Duel. When the unit was capture, ZAFT extracted the data and manufacture the AS for Duel based on the design specification along with some ZAFT design and it will 100% fit on Duel with minor fitting adjustment, thus enable it to be deploy in such a short time frame. Since OMNI have the original design and with Archangel field data as the prove of concept, they allocate some of their production line of strike daggers to produce the Long Dagger (they share 50% parts with the strike dagger) and the Fotestra, which is significantly faster than trying to replicate based on field data alone.
@Shadow Hyperion Thanks on the spelling correction, did not notice it as I was typing at 2am in my timezone. As my previous speculation, I am not doubting that the Dual AS was inspired by the Ginn AS, but the timing of ZAFT able to field it that fast, which make me doubt that there are outside factors. Not to mention there is lack of field testing of the Duel AS which makes it even more suspicious. Also, the AS for GINN was only produce in a hand-full of numbers and its production run would have halted with the implementation of the CGUE, making the conversion of the GINN's AS for Duel use extremely unlikely. As your comparison for the M4 Carbine V M16, they are on the same platform, but the difference between GINN and Duel is more like the AK series VS the M4. Not to mention the armor and weapon positioning plus load-out makes a direct conversion impossible which makes the development form scratch much more viable. As to the leak of design by Rau, it is possible, but unlikely due to the timing and the benefit of him leaking the Duel AS plans and data is insignificant comparing to the other leaks and the method of leaks. Operation Spitbreak can be inform via word of mouth while NJC plans was by hand via Flay, both which have significant impact against ZAFT. Unless we open another can of worms that Rau is behind everything, there is another direction of the speculation that Rau leak the combat data of Duel and Duel AS to EA at some point during the period CE 71 Feb 13 to Apr 17, in which with that data, EA manage to setup the production line for the Strike Dagger and the Long Dagger as long as training pilots withing the timing of up to 101 days which is much likely and this did manage to tip the favor against ZAFT. But this still did not convince me on how ZAFT manage to field Duel AS on such a short time.
@@echos5823 While AS is not a difficult concept, the issues are in the details: 1) Armor - It has PS armor on the base unit, what it plan to guard against? what composition of materials to be use, how it should be design, its effectiveness in defense, total increase in weight (which will affect the balance and mobility of the unit) 2) Thruster - How much thruster it need to compensate against the increase in weight and the position of the thruster is located, and how the fuel tanks will be located and effective operating time ( More thruster = more fuel consumption = less operation time) 3) Additional Weapons - Where is the additional weapon located, does it affect the balance of the unit, is it compatible with the fire control system. Sum them up together, you would have a overall performance score of how the MS will perform on paper (design stage). Then where to source the materials and parts to manufacture them, install, field, data feedback, fine tuning, etc. All these are time consuming and it would cost more than just a few dozen of overwork MS crew. Not to mention AS concept is not new in other gundam timeline and usually it would be cheaper to go for a redesign MS that perform better than forcefully implement costly upgrades that are not cost effective.
Looking back, I can't help but wonder why didn't ZAFT retrofit the Dinn for space? It's literally just gonna collect dust in hangers while the final fights are happening in space. Why not make them space worthy and use them!?!?
Speaking of ZAFT Gundams, is there an In-Universe explanation they used Gundam heads instead of mono-eyes? I don't think it's the same case with the Titans in UC
Yeah. We could start with Kira getting killed by the Aegis, and Orb not getting the data they needed for the M1 Astray's OS. That's already a big blow that will also affect the other protagonists of the Seed side stories. Basically, Zaft wins the war unless they wipe each other out.
You can't change my minds, that the GuAIZ is a more advanced mobile suit than the Zaku Warrior, the Dom Trooper and the Gouf Ignited all together. The designs of those three machines look outdated, even when you compare them to the GINN. The fact that they could go against the Windam (which was reduced to an even worse Leo) was comically indeed.
Gaia's test pilot was Riika Sheder, a Coordinator who can't see a thing without her specialized glasses. Courtney Heironimous and Mare Strode were the test pilots for Chaos and Abyss respectively.
GuAIZ so cool it deserves HGCE at very least, any mobile suit deserves more than old jointless 1/144 SEED line IMO now that fine build is a thing heck they can even release it as P-bandai just like daughtress.
Been working on a GuAIZ EFT HG conversion for a long time now. Sadly the NG 1/144 GuAIZ kit is pretty bad so instead I'm modifying a HG Dreadnought with a GuAIZ head, HG Freedom rail cannons and Fatum from my old RG Justice.
I’m torn because I like the Zaku Warrior and Gouf Ignited, but it’s disappointing that the GuAIZ got replaced by UC designs. The GuAIZ and GuAIZ R are great designs, and the Experimental Arms type makes sense, I just wish we’d gotten more variants of it, and frankly that applies to every grunt in CE in general. Most especially on the Earth Alliance side of things.
Never heard "dreadnaught" in reference to a person, neat, I've only ever seen it as a reference to either the ship, the category of ships, or other things named in reference to those things. (That and it's apparently an archaic term for a heavy overcoat), Also, "Beam reamer" is hilarious, no idea how you managed to say that one without laughing.
I've always wondered something. Coordinators were said to be more technologically advanced yet it was the Naturals who had fully functional beam weapons before them. Naturals also had Phase Shift armour, some special gel that the Archangel used for entering the atmosphere, etc. while ZAFT didn't have such advanced technology. One would think the opposite would occur since Coordinators are supposed to be amazingly smarter.
3 Possible explanations I just thought about, because that's a good question I never really thought about. 1) Maybe at the super high end of the spectrum, things kinda level out. Like an average coordinator is way smarter than an average natural, but a genius coordinator is only a bit smarter than a genius natural. 2) The Alliance could brute force the development of more tech because they had more engineers that could eclipse the quality of the folks over at the PLANTS. 3) The PLANTS/ZAFT had different priorities and spend most of their resources on the N-Jammers and later the N-Jammer Cancellers.
@@darena12 While Orb could've helped with the tech, the history of their Astray prototypes implies that they got most of their technology from the Alliance and not the other way around (With the PS armor being the one thing they couldn't steal).
its more of a nature vs nurture debate. given the right environment and endless supply of passion, a natural scientist can rival a coordinator. furthermore, ginn launched in ce 69. there is enough remnants, broken parts, and captured examples lying around for ea to start studying, reverse engineering, or develop countermeasures against zaft tech
@@rhonpen5388 That still doesn't explain how Naturals were able to figure out how to make beam weaponry and other highly advanced tech before the Coordinators. If the Alliance got their hands on a GINN they'd copy it and make their own MS for sure, but GINNs didn't have beams for them to reverse engineer, study or tamper with. Yeah I know that some Naturals are talented like Coordinators, but those kinds of people are rare (Lowe Guele being one of them) and not all of them work in the fields of science.
That Experimental Firearms Type is my favourite GuAIZ design. I can hear Bandai say "PREMIUM" to this one. Wish GuAIZ was the mainstay of ZAFT forces and the Experimental Firearms Type get mass produced for ZAFT redcoats, with improvements and upgrades of course and Heine bringing his old yet improved GEFT instead of the GOUF.
I love to play with the Guiaz Experimental type but it's not in Crossrays :( not helping much is me using Destiny Impulses despite a rather energy problem.

@@bndahi8251 they made the seed Zaku MG and the GINN. And the inner frame for both is called “ZAFT MG.” If that’s not good evidence, idk what is.
GuAIZ is definitely possible. Make the R and EFT as the P-bandai variants. Maybe Rau's as a simple color swap too.
@@colonelgubitz5916 what im trying to say is, we probably wont get a MG dagger, or MG m1 astray, suits of that nature. because the MG zaku warriors frame could be fit to make a MG ginn, it happened. however the driving force that probably made them even design the MG Ginn was its various possibilities for P bandai Releases, not only with suits but with weapon packs (D-type equipment)

I'm still awaiting for the day when Bandai release a HG version of the GuAIZ or the GuAIZ R! I loved the look of it!
RE/100 too.
I’d love to see a development history on the Providence Gundam/ Legend Gundam. They’re two of my favorite gundams of all time.
the providence was the "final form" of the dreadnought, as in, they took what worked in that machine and decided to make a "real ms" out of it.
I agree, love them too
@@marcosdheleno
The Providence (Gundam) lead to the Providence ZAKU, which lead to the development of the Legend Gundam.
@@marcosdheleno True, but I am curious of why the Providence was made in the first place, and with that name too. It's like this MS was made specifically for Rau La Crausset in case something were to happen with the Freedom and Justice.
The Legend more so, I mean is it made and named to reflect the devastation brought by the Providence?
@@Addition2 providence is normally meant as a divine design. in this case, it makes perfect sense, as it was meant to be a divine retribution.
about why it was made, i dont see it that way. if anything, the justice is the anti freedom unit.
the providence was the culmination of the pod technology. it was intended to be used in tandem with its sister units, you could even see it as the mid range one, taking out every one that comes close, while the justice would be the hit and run.
i have been waiting for too long for bandai to release HG GuAIZ.
It's cool that back then we'd get kits like cgue or Ginn insurgent(Just got one the other day!) as a regular release.
Nowadays they'd prob release it as p-bandai and we'd have to pay the crappy marked up price for it. Well, unless you live in one of the 5(?) countries that has the web store.
I always liked Zaft mobile suits and they have some cool ships too.
Same. I actually really like the Ginn, there's just something cool about a grunt suit that uses a fucking sword rather than a beam saber or a heat axe.
@@VegetaLF7 zaft even did a good job with the zaku and gouf since both were capable of fighting gundams when in the hands of decent pilots
Holy crap! Can’t wait for the next development history video!
It would be interesting to see the development history of the Zaku Warrior, Gouf and Dom in Seed. Cause it seems like they just came out of nowhere and replaced the GuAIZ and other units. Granted, the Slash ZAKU Phantom piloted by Yzak is one my favorite Seed/Destiny MS.
I really really enjoy these videos you put out! You do an excellent job with them! I hope you not only continue to make them, but also keep expanding into other timeline/universes. Some 00 development history videos would be cool. And honestly I'd love to see you tackle the long design history of the GM. But obviously that would be as big or bigger than your Zaku mini-series. Hell, probably would be bigger for sure.
I'm rolling out the GMs once I wrap up the V-project!
In the manga terminal got the dragoon system from lowe guele which was later used to develop the strike freedoms dragoon system
I am really hoping they use the MG Zaku Warrior frame to make a GUAIZ kit. I love the ZAFT mobile suits.
I'll already be over the moon when/if we get a HGCE.
@@kakarot197 Yeah...but I want a Master Grade! More grunt suits!
but why cant Earth Alliance MS get the MG treatment? I want a MG Strike Dagger alreadyb pls bandai
@@YiminyCricket I coundn't agree more, especially because Bandai could use the (newer- 2013 Ver. RM) MG Strike frame for all the different Dagger variants
@@chaious1040 And I'm still waiting new MG Strike Noir with GAT frame but Bandai still not deliver....

the ANTI-RAD meds in the gundam universe (several universes) must be amazing.
radiation sickness is never mentioned ever, haha!
@@echos5823 i was m ore referring to the nuclear power plants in the suits that pilots are literally sitting on top off, haha
@@tyhy1 funnily enough, that can be thanks to the fact that they use variations of High-Z Metal Foams in their shielding construction, given that this is the first Gundam that outright states that they know that metal foams exist.
@@TheTrueAdept im sure that they mention it in the books somewhere in every series. but in the anime it rarely, if ever, comes up.

As a GuAIZ fan, this video about my favorite mass produced Mobile Suit is greatly appreciated!
HGCE, please...!
I also coincidentally grabbed a Dreadnought HG to kitbash a G3 Saviour Gundam.
Hyped for the next episode! Did not know that the railguns from the Freedom, one of my favorite weapon designs, came from the GuAIZ. The more you know.
Tbh the guaiz head dreadnaught is one of my personal favourite looking ms
How have I never noticed that the Dreadnought has the same body as the GuAIZ??
neat! next is Freedom & Justice >
stuff like this is why im subscribed to this channel, if I ever cant remember something about a mobile suits history or lore or even other gundam lore. I can always count on Kakarot to give me that good stuff and feed my addiction to gundam.....
gundam...better than sex
Remember: "Practice safe Zechs, use a Gundam."
Twin beam claw shield. I don't know how but the Ram Z'Gok is trying to get a lawsuit about this.
Honestly that Guaiz has my keen interest now. Guaiz R sounds more practical, what with the giant guns instead of the hip mounted claws, but I'm sure one could strike a happy medium.
Damn the GuAlz got shat on in the end and oh the Dreadnought. I know about that thanks to Cross Rays and overall sick history lesson again and can't wait hear about Kira's first broken machine before he became God and Athrun's good machine.
I wondered why one of the Dreadnaught units had a Guaiz head in the Crossrays game.
They explain it in the game though.
Kakarot197: uploads new development history vid.
Me. YEAH BOI!!!
I'm ngl I kind of forgot that the freedom and justice were originally Zaft ms
Yup, both design aren't made for villain, unlike Providence.
AND I CANT WAIT!!! i wish you could make a development history of my all time favourite the leo
Glad to see this! The GuAizR is in fact my favorite mobile suit ever. Of all time. Not just from SEED (the first series I watched) but out of all the series I've watched. Someday I hope a Master Grade Gunpla of it gets released so that I can have one of my very own.
The Ginn hi-maneuver type 2 was shown as more capable because all of their pilots were highly skilled veterans of the first war. All which were fanatics of Patrick Zala's ideals.
It's similar to how zeon veterans preferring to get a zaku high mobility type over getting a gelgoog or Rick Dom in the later stages of OYW.
New development video! YEAH!
I love SEED acronyms.
Disconnected Rapid Armament Group Overlook? Operation Network.
Generation Unsubdued? Nuclear Drive Assault Module.
Haha
While I'm a little meh on the GuAIZ the Dreadnought is really underrated to me.
Great stuff as always. Since the Dreadnought was covered into this video, i hope to see a Hyperion Gundam development history, since its also related to the Umbrella of Artemis!
man, with Bandai releasing Windam and Dagger-L, i hope they give the Guaiz (or Guaiz R) the HG treatment too.
Could you do a video on the Destroy Gundam? That thing was a beast!
So they had the GuAIZ on the design board prior to the theft of the Gundams. And once they got the technology, they took their original GuAIZ design and reworked it to incorporate the new tech. That something I did not know and I search for intel.
And I did not know that the N-Jammer Canceler was located in the head of the Dreadnought. Again, I did search. Guess its the same with the other nuclear powered Gundams?
It was sad about the GuAIZ R. We don't even know WHEN it rolled out? Or what pilots thought about it compared to the original?
The head-mounted N-Jammer canceller is indeed only on the Dreadnought.
@@echos5823 Forgot that happened to the Freedom.
I really found the railguns on the Guaiz R cute in its unfolded form.
I like the ZMF-601R GuAIZ R. The railguns are a simple upgrade but it adds to the firepower and versatility of the unit.
Wish those were mainstay in Destiny. The EFT variant could also be improved upon and making a derivative for ZAFT elite soldiers. That subflight system could assist in atmospheric battle.
You're an amazing Gundam Storyteller 💪🏽😎
I hope the guaiz gets master grade!
Or at least a RE/100.
Can you do a video of the top 5 potential MG Ginn variants???
Whoa. That screenshot of Mayura Labatt's M1 Astray before it got its torso fried caught me by surprise. The edges of my eyes nearly teared up.
As you were talking about the N-Jammer Canceller, the Earth Alliance had begun development on the N-Jammer-Canceller Canceller.
A huge part of me wishes that they would make a 1/144 HG of the original GuAIZ.
Love those GuAIZ and Ginn as well.
The GINN is already the Zaku of CE. The GuAIZ is the CE equivalent of UC Gelgoog or maybe the Geara Zulu.
@@Joshua_N-A Love thoes girls chief.

Love your channel and loving the lore.
Wasn't it because the Freedom and Justice and their later upgrades had a nuclear fission reactor or N jammer canceller.
to keep the Trans phase shift going indefinitely?
Looking at the time frame in which the N-Jammer was "developed" alongside the customized delivery vehicles used to put them beyond the reach of any Earthbound powers (or even ZAFT themselves) I have come to believe that the N-Jammer and the plan to deploy them on Earth were already completed and in existence BEFORE the Bloody Valentine and that attack was allowed to be carried out so the Coordinator Supremacists would have a Causis Belli for declaring war and carrying out the attack.
07:11 "Even in death, I still serve"

I hope we could get a Gelgoog development history in the near future, or any other video on this series, i really appreciate them
In the future, PLANTs will create the N-jammer canceler jammer in response to the N-jammer canceler
This does make me wonder, why did they move to the design of the Zaku (reminiscent of the UC era) instead of continuing its own design lineage...
the way i see it, its basically like a "lets imagine a new unit from the ground up" kind of thing. it happens alot, with people designing new things to do the job, instead of how to make something better.
besides, they did continue the development of the guaiz, with the guaiz R. which came out after the zaku.
Unfortunate timing mostly. Destiny came out for the 25th anniversary of Gundam, and Bandai wanted to push out the classic models with an "updated" line using the Cosmic Era as a showcase. The idea would be that they could sell the new and old kits alongside each other, so ZAFT's design language had to go from UC-inspired to UC-adjacent.
@@marcosdheleno Yea, but its still a shame that the R was the last of its line.
@@bzoner16 i like the redesigns, to me, they are far better than the crap f90 pulled with the "oldsmobile" BS. it was even more insulting because it went as far as remaking the "last shooting" scene.
I love how you can see Zeta Gundam's influence on new models.
I love the experimental firearms types hip rail guns so much I put them on my custom Astray series including the M1 variant, I made them from scratch but regardless. I also put a scope on the rail guns as well for better accuracy.
And the EFT Is the only reason why I want to get a Justice gundam Just so I can put the backpack onto a guaiz to make a eft variant
I kinda want to know more about the hyperion and the dreadnoughts pilots
love this series, keep up the good work
The Dreadnought looks an awful lot like the Moon Gundam…
Said it before, but I'll say it again; why did they go with "N Jammer Canceller" when they could've gone with the maybe equally creative but far more elegant "Anti N Jammer"
not gonna lie, i think "anti-stuff" is such an overused therm that it kinda sounds bad at this point.
I hope they keep making MG seed & HG Seed Destiny kits.
Some HG Revive G weapons, Akatsuki, Murasame, or Legend
A 1/100 Cgue, Guaiz, Raider, Forbidden, Strike Noir, or Strike Dagger
@kakarot197 question of the week: what are your top 10 mobile armor of all the Gundam franchise??
it would be super cool if one day you did a video on the development history of the x1-destroy from seed destiny
@Shadow Hyperion true
Always loved the design of the Guaiz R, looks way better than the original, just too bad it got shafted real quick.
Been waiting for this
The GINN and the GuAIZ were one of my favorite MS from seed, design wise. It sucks to see that the author decided to go for nostalgia bait by putting Zaku, Gouf, and Dom into the series. Wish they had a better treatment rather than being swept under the rug.
The GuAIZ and GINN give Cosmic Era more identity originality. GuAIZ R should've been ZAFT mainstay in GSD. A high performance derivative based on the Experimental Firearms Type would used by ZAFT red elites and high ranking officers. Heine should've pilot it in his colours. I can imagine Lunamaria's custom GuAIZ R already. Instead of the DOM, it should've been a MS derived and based off the Duel Assault Shroud but the armour isn't detachable like Duel's but instead it's a modular armour with levels of protection such as level I which is the base form is similar in shape and mass to the Duel AS while level III is a bolt on armour which result the suit is as bulky and thick as the FAZZ from ZZ. As for the GINN, just give it the ZAKU torso and done.
How about a Top 10 Unsolved Mysteries in Gundam? Three off the top of my head are: what happened to Dorel Ronah after F91, was Durandal the one who liberated Canard from the lab, and how did ZAFT create the Duel's AS so quickly after.
the third one is actually easier to explain, since its basically repurposed equipment that was modded to fit the duel, the better question is, how did they repair the lost leg that was blown off by the strike's cannon.
Possible answer for the Duel AS would be the upgrade plan was designed by OMNI and was installed in the Duel database and ZAFT just recreate them with ZAFT tech. As if it was design from the ground up by ZAFT, it would have taken longer due to updating the Duel internal to fit the AS, in which Duel would actually be absent in most of the Archangel hunting battles. And OMNI would require a longer time to gather enough field data of the Duel AS and start the production of the Long Dagger Fotestra.
@Shadow Hyperion Agreed in terms of concept, but there are a few "holes" that made me have my speculation.
1) The AS for the GINN is a totally different design with the Duel AS and it is impossible for GINN AS to directly refitted on the Duel.
2) There are hard points around Duel from the start to support the AS to begin with that makes me doubtful ZAFT remodel the Duel to fit the AS.
3) While it is possible that Zaft can redesign the AS for Duel from the ground up, it would takes time and resources from design, production and test trial to ensure it work on the Duel, in which would requires the Duel to be transfer out of the front line to conduct the testing, but we do not see this in the series. Heliopolis Incident (CE71 Jan 25) till Duel AS 1st deployment (CE 71 Feb 13) only have 19 days.
4) The AS concept while powerful, but its implementation does not pass CGUE Assault as production has start to be focus on implementing the G Weapon Technology into the GuAIZ and later the 5 NJC Gundams, in which to design a AS from the ground up for 1 captured unit doesn't seems wise in resource management.
5) While OMNI had the original design plans of the Duel, which produce the Long Dagger, assuming the AS was design was by ZAFT from the ground up, it would be insufficient for OMNI to observe enough of Duel AS to gather enough field data for them to replicate the Fotestra and deploy with their Long Dagger (in which the lore mention it was provided by observation data by Archangel, but timing wise questionable, discuss in next point)
6) Assuming OMNI develop the Fotestra using Archangel data alone, the timing for Duel AS 1st deployment (CE 71 Feb 13) until final battle of Strike VS Aegis ( CE 71 Apr 15), Archangel have not many points of establish contact with OMNI or to send the data over for OMNI to start designing the Fotestra other than arriving on JOSH-A (CE 71 Apr 17) with the deployment of the Long Dagger sighted in battle of Panama (CE71 May 25). Assuming OMNI did not waste any time, they are able to open a production line from scratch and deploy them in 38 days, which is too short.
Therefore, it is speculate that the Duel AS might have been an upgrade designed on paper by OMNI (possible inspired by Ginn AS) and loaded on the Duel. When the unit was capture, ZAFT extracted the data and manufacture the AS for Duel based on the design specification along with some ZAFT design and it will 100% fit on Duel with minor fitting adjustment, thus enable it to be deploy in such a short time frame.
Since OMNI have the original design and with Archangel field data as the prove of concept, they allocate some of their production line of strike daggers to produce the Long Dagger (they share 50% parts with the strike dagger) and the Fotestra, which is significantly faster than trying to replicate based on field data alone.
@Shadow Hyperion Thanks on the spelling correction, did not notice it as I was typing at 2am in my timezone.
As my previous speculation, I am not doubting that the Dual AS was inspired by the Ginn AS, but the timing of ZAFT able to field it that fast, which make me doubt that there are outside factors. Not to mention there is lack of field testing of the Duel AS which makes it even more suspicious.
Also, the AS for GINN was only produce in a hand-full of numbers and its production run would have halted with the implementation of the CGUE, making the conversion of the GINN's AS for Duel use extremely unlikely.
As your comparison for the M4 Carbine V M16, they are on the same platform, but the difference between GINN and Duel is more like the AK series VS the M4. Not to mention the armor and weapon positioning plus load-out makes a direct conversion impossible which makes the development form scratch much more viable.
As to the leak of design by Rau, it is possible, but unlikely due to the timing and the benefit of him leaking the Duel AS plans and data is insignificant comparing to the other leaks and the method of leaks. Operation Spitbreak can be inform via word of mouth while NJC plans was by hand via Flay, both which have significant impact against ZAFT.
Unless we open another can of worms that Rau is behind everything, there is another direction of the speculation that Rau leak the combat data of Duel and Duel AS to EA at some point during the period CE 71 Feb 13 to Apr 17, in which with that data, EA manage to setup the production line for the Strike Dagger and the Long Dagger as long as training pilots withing the timing of up to 101 days which is much likely and this did manage to tip the favor against ZAFT. But this still did not convince me on how ZAFT manage to field Duel AS on such a short time.
@@echos5823 While AS is not a difficult concept, the issues are in the details:
1) Armor - It has PS armor on the base unit, what it plan to guard against? what composition of materials to be use, how it should be design, its effectiveness in defense, total increase in weight (which will affect the balance and mobility of the unit)
2) Thruster - How much thruster it need to compensate against the increase in weight and the position of the thruster is located, and how the fuel tanks will be located and effective operating time ( More thruster = more fuel consumption = less operation time)
3) Additional Weapons - Where is the additional weapon located, does it affect the balance of the unit, is it compatible with the fire control system.
Sum them up together, you would have a overall performance score of how the MS will perform on paper (design stage).
Then where to source the materials and parts to manufacture them, install, field, data feedback, fine tuning, etc. All these are time consuming and it would cost more than just a few dozen of overwork MS crew.
Not to mention AS concept is not new in other gundam timeline and usually it would be cheaper to go for a redesign MS that perform better than forcefully implement costly upgrades that are not cost effective.
Looking forward to the next one
OH YEA MY FAVORITE GUNDAM GETS TO BE TALKED ABOUT- Yes it's the Freedom.
Looking back, I can't help but wonder why didn't ZAFT retrofit the Dinn for space?
It's literally just gonna collect dust in hangers while the final fights are happening in space. Why not make them space worthy and use them!?!?
Speaking of ZAFT Gundams, is there an In-Universe explanation they used Gundam heads instead of mono-eyes?
I don't think it's the same case with the Titans in UC
I honestly thought it was them mocking the alliance since they stole four of the g weapons
Man imagine how fucked up the Cosmic Era would be if Lowe didn't exist
Like the guy was pretty much almost behind the scenes of things unintentionally
Yeah. We could start with Kira getting killed by the Aegis, and Orb not getting the data they needed for the M1 Astray's OS. That's already a big blow that will also affect the other protagonists of the Seed side stories. Basically, Zaft wins the war unless they wipe each other out.
You can't change my minds, that the GuAIZ is a more advanced mobile suit than the Zaku Warrior, the Dom Trooper and the Gouf Ignited all together. The designs of those three machines look outdated, even when you compare them to the GINN. The fact that they could go against the Windam (which was reduced to an even worse Leo) was comically indeed.
Yeah ! Strike Freedom!
I didn't know the Chaos Gundam had an original pilot.
Gaia's test pilot was Riika Sheder, a Coordinator who can't see a thing without her specialized glasses. Courtney Heironimous and Mare Strode were the test pilots for Chaos and Abyss respectively.
@@Joshua_N-A Cool! Thanks for sharing this lore, I learned something new.
@@zetsugami00 Mare survived the shootout when the trio stealing the Gundams.
GuAIZ so cool it deserves HGCE at very least, any mobile suit deserves more than old jointless 1/144 SEED line IMO now that fine build is a thing heck they can even release it as P-bandai just like daughtress.
Imagine getting enough development in mobile suit technology to STILL fall below Zaku level...
Love these vids!!!
Been working on a GuAIZ EFT HG conversion for a long time now. Sadly the NG 1/144 GuAIZ kit is pretty bad so instead I'm modifying a HG Dreadnought with a GuAIZ head, HG Freedom rail cannons and Fatum from my old RG Justice.
I’m torn because I like the Zaku Warrior and Gouf Ignited, but it’s disappointing that the GuAIZ got replaced by UC designs. The GuAIZ and GuAIZ R are great designs, and the Experimental Arms type makes sense, I just wish we’d gotten more variants of it, and frankly that applies to every grunt in CE in general.
Most especially on the Earth Alliance side of things.
Gotta love the size difference between early dragoons in cosmic era, and early funnels in universal century,😂
Never heard "dreadnaught" in reference to a person, neat, I've only ever seen it as a reference to either the ship, the category of ships, or other things named in reference to those things. (That and it's apparently an archaic term for a heavy overcoat),
Also, "Beam reamer" is hilarious, no idea how you managed to say that one without laughing.
can not wair for the freedom and justice development history
Freedom and Justice Development... Let's go!!!
If you making strike freedom and infinite justice development history, please add information how clyne faction has a facility to make Gundam
I've always wondered something. Coordinators were said to be more technologically advanced yet it was the Naturals who had fully functional beam weapons before them. Naturals also had Phase Shift armour, some special gel that the Archangel used for entering the atmosphere, etc. while ZAFT didn't have such advanced technology. One would think the opposite would occur since Coordinators are supposed to be amazingly smarter.
Wasn’t most if not all of that made for them by orb or other coordinators
3 Possible explanations I just thought about, because that's a good question I never really thought about.
1) Maybe at the super high end of the spectrum, things kinda level out. Like an average coordinator is way smarter than an average natural, but a genius coordinator is only a bit smarter than a genius natural.
2) The Alliance could brute force the development of more tech because they had more engineers that could eclipse the quality of the folks over at the PLANTS.
3) The PLANTS/ZAFT had different priorities and spend most of their resources on the N-Jammers and later the N-Jammer Cancellers.
@@darena12 While Orb could've helped with the tech, the history of their Astray prototypes implies that they got most of their technology from the Alliance and not the other way around (With the PS armor being the one thing they couldn't steal).
its more of a nature vs nurture debate. given the right environment and endless supply of passion, a natural scientist can rival a coordinator.
furthermore, ginn launched in ce 69. there is enough remnants, broken parts, and captured examples lying around for ea to start studying, reverse engineering, or develop countermeasures against zaft tech
@@rhonpen5388 That still doesn't explain how Naturals were able to figure out how to make beam weaponry and other highly advanced tech before the Coordinators. If the Alliance got their hands on a GINN they'd copy it and make their own MS for sure, but GINNs didn't have beams for them to reverse engineer, study or tamper with. Yeah I know that some Naturals are talented like Coordinators, but those kinds of people are rare (Lowe Guele being one of them) and not all of them work in the fields of science.
That Experimental Firearms Type is my favourite GuAIZ design. I can hear Bandai say "PREMIUM" to this one. Wish GuAIZ was the mainstay of ZAFT forces and the Experimental Firearms Type get mass produced for ZAFT redcoats, with improvements and upgrades of course and Heine bringing his old yet improved GEFT instead of the GOUF.
The justices legs were from one of those mobile suits
Does the name GUAIZ have a meaning like every other seed mobile suit?
I love to play with the Guiaz Experimental type but it's not in Crossrays :( not helping much is me using Destiny Impulses despite a rather energy problem.
Guiaz R is tho
Man sucks it ended the way it did seems so interesting
