One thing you might have forgotten to mention is that, while on paper, the G-Cannon was superior to the Heavygun in every way, in practice, it's performance was actually LESS then it should have been. This is because when they produced it, AE used ready made in house parts rather then producing the SNRI approved ones, which dragged the G-Cannons stat-line down a few bars. Whether AE did this to save time and money, out of spite towards SNRI or both, I'll let you decide.
@@MasterSwo Don't forget that when both cannons were mounted, the F71 G-Cannon couldn't turn its head very well either. Not enough space between the head and the barrels. Although, it *was* capable of operating without the cannons attached, as seen during the Crossbone's incursion into Frontier 4 early in the film when an F-71 G-Cannon is seen without the cannons while holding a beam rifle. It's easy to mistake for a Heavygun at first, until you notice the wrist-guns on the side, along with the red lines on the chest above the front vents and along the sides of the torso, both of which the Heavygun lacks.

No matter the generation in the UC, the main way to fix an outdated MS is to make a Full Armor or Full Equipment type and just toss everything available onto the said MS. When in doubt, just add more guns.
I just had flashback to that part of Zoids CC, where the Republic put every gun they had on a Command wolf to fight one of the Empire's Aces, and the 'Upgrade' just made the CW slower and more of a target. only for later in the series said Ace, get defeated by a Rookie pilot in a basic Shield liger that was rusted to crap at the start of the series.
I could imagine the prototype Heavygun using the Jegan's side skirt grenade rack with 3 hand grenades since there's probably a huge surplus but then AE developed smaller grenades appropriate for the Heavygun's smaller stature so that it can carry more
The suit honestly reminds me of a Hi-Zack. In the sense that it wasn't a great MS, but it was easy enough to build / pilot. They're suits of convenience to say the least.
I would say it was designed by complacency and the overall better performing unit that was its 'support' was designed once an actual conflict was considered.

The sad thing is that the Heavygun is one of my favorite Mass Production units but also one of the worst in terms of combat records.

That's saying something, if the GM II is the Yamcha of the GM lineage this thing is arguably the Tien.

The Heavygun is the exact opposite in that it's way better on paper but it's always on the back foot and no amount of techniques can save it from being wildly overpowered and pushed out of the fight. No matter how many weapons it gets, the core itself just can't use them as effectively as anyone else can and it gets murdered.
Guess you could say, miniturized Mobile Suits are the definition of big things, come in small packages. Hope to hear about Mars Zeon's Mobile Suit development history.
The whole "Better tech along with being more fuel-efficient" thing was why the characters of Beast Wars were smaller than their Great War predecessors. That and there was an energy crisis at the time.
You want the development history of the GM? Simple. "Zeon is using big robot suits...we need our own, those space balls with cannons on top are basically flying coffins!"

Take a look at the story that took place in UC0083 and you'll see what Anaheim Electronics had been doing. An RX-78 GP series has been prototyped and guess what? GP01 to GP03 were handed in to Earth Federation Forces, while GP04 was "further developed" into AGX-04 Gerbera Tetra and went to Cima Fleet.
I think you are overlooking the fact that with a mobile suit being smaller, it meant that the armor was much thinner. So much so that it was vulnerable to Vulcans and smaller weapons.
You can think of it like choosing a small light yet very fast intercepter compared to choosing a big slow but heavily armed and armored heavy fighter. I know thats not exactly what this situation is but it's close enough.
it has a beam shield and its armor is "good enough" to hold them at range ..... think of it like a Leopard 1 MBT hard hitting, fast and not really meant to sit still and take a bunch of hits
It's actually better armoured than you think it is. Its armour is a mix of Gundarium and titanium ceramic composite thus mixing defensive capabilities with a good cheap price. Armour won't do much with beam weapons becoming insanely strong in the UC 100's

because besides Jegan, the rest of them are designed quite recently whereas F91 and Victory suits are designed in the early 90s, a good 30 years gap. In between - Wing, SEED, and tons of MSVs happened and gradually the fans' "taste" as well. Zanscare wheel suits takes the cake in terms of cringe worthiness - perhaps meant to compete against hot wheels craze then.
I'm curious to ask if you may do a video about this in the future, but would you ever consider talking about the Pros and cons of each mobile suit manufacturing group? (Aka Zeonic, Anaheim, and SNRI).
For the history of the Formula series, I imagine that the variants of the F90 will have a separate video, both for more time to explain and to wait for all the alphabet letters to come out. 😅 Also, the more videos we get the more happy we viewers are! 😜
Me too, the late UC is really lacking in 1/144 kits until recently with the Hathaway’s Flash line and the Dictus. Hopefully suits such as the Shokew, Heavygun, Gun-EZ, and Vigna Ghina will follow in the coming years
I can see the lead engineer on the RGM-109 Full Rquipment type, "The answer is a gun, and if that don't work... use MORE gun." In a thick Texan accent.
Huge sucker for late UC, hope we see more development histories from around this time. Like the Formula series, Mars Zeon, Jupiter and the Zanscar Empire!
I rather dig the G-Cannon variant. If they had a HG/RG version of it I'd grab it and see what I could kitbash it into (Got a lot of spare 1/144 scale bits leftover).
Poor Birgit. Really wish he got more to do in the show. Him being a grunt pilot made me want to see more of him rather than all the kids surrounding Seabook.
Interesting thing to think about, is that while the brand new company that is SNRI produces the Forumla series which looks very similar to the Earth Federation designs made by Anaheim Electronics.... The actual competing mobile suit of Anaheim Electronics looks very different than any previous MS made. Would think that it'd be the opposite considering the lore, but I guess the protagonist faction are the ones that tend to stick with the Gundams.
@@lamlam-bw7ev Maybe so that they can make a name out of themselves, instead of associating themselves with someone else? It's more weird that the company that created the Gundam doesn't try to milk off its notoriety, when trying to build their best unit yet.
What about the HardyGun variant? I'm surprised you didn't bring that up given you talked about the Formula Wars and showed the F-90. I had built several HardyGun kits in the mid 90's and I loved that machine! Poor kit suffered from the weak knee joints all Bandai Gunpla suffered back then, but hey, still a lovely design imho. :D Nice work as always and great to see this series growing. Thanks for all your hard work mate!
Since you're the one that brought it up I would love to see you go more in-depth with MARS Zeon. Seeing how pretty much there almost non-canon nowadays in the Gundam War. However seeing that the f90 kits came out recently does smile to my face
i need to go watch f91 again. using some of the full equipment gear seems like the way to go. it really is a suit that needed that something extra to work.
Thanks for this video. I consider myself lucky to have bought the 1/100 Heavy Gun and G-Cannon kits back in 91 , when they were new releases. Built the Heavy Gun, the G-Cannon is still in the stash....might be time to build it! Thanks again!
Hey thank you for doing a video on this suit and time frame of the UC war. I remember seeing this anime along time ago and pretty much forgot about it. Lol but remember these suits and always wonder why they made them smaller and what they were called.
Underrated grunt suit right here. When I first saw it pop up in F91 I immediately fell in love like: "whoa?! What's that? Some kind of souped up Jegan...?"
Heavygun: Designed, at least in part, for keeping rebellions from happening. Also Heavygun: Is phased out by a new model so is sold on the civilian market to militias that may or may not have federation interests in mind. HMMMMM NOTHING BAD COULD POSSIBLY HAPPEN.
I never really think of f91 and victory as UC cannon anymore because of Unicorn The federation had new and improved mass produced mobile suits The Rezal Was the reason why i do not think that the whole idea That the Jegan was still being used but the Rezal was not also Why was the heavygun the only mobile suit that was up to date
5:44 Honestly, it sounds really stupid to put the G-Cannon, an MS that is surprisingly far better than the Heavygun is put in back line combat duties instead. And I cannot imagine the MS developers despite acknowledging this but still anyway put them in artillery and just went like, *”NAH IT’LL BE FINE”*

I favored the Zaku 3, 4, and Geara Dogas over the Jegan and others in its line. I also favored the Hizack and the Marasai as well. I guess that makes me lean more towards Zeon MS.
@@LagunaShiroganeagreed, the Jegan feels meh, I feel a Federation hybrid small suit (GM3/Geara Doga Hybrid) would've been the better suit than the seafoam blandness of the Jegan

Miniturized mobile suites come at the cost of armor, and matinance costs. This means that in the long run miniaturized mobile suties will end up costing you more in the long run.
That Heavygun full Equipment reminds me of the Full Armor Gundam Thunderbolt version because it has extra weapons and a surprise attack on the enemies.
Huh, a have a new found appretiation to birgit now, the guy push the heavygun so hard, crossbone vanguard suits being better, i'm not surprised cause they are probably some of the best quality when it comes to a late century suit
I came here looking for development history on the Full Armor Gundam and the Heavy Gundam but didnt find one on your channel. I was lead to this video by UA-cam and it refers to a different set of MS. Could you please do a development history on the FA Gundam, Heavy Gundam, FA Gundam Ground Type, and others in the Full Armor project by the Federation?
The fact that SNRI just show up, poop out a first product that ended up lasting for decades that they can't even MANUFACTURE, and just thoroughly trouncing the AE presentation is hilarious. One part Accuracy International fiasco, two parts Gundam bullshit, one complete punchline.
The reason the Heavygun made up bulks for federation MS than the G cannon because it was not a mummy killer with his shells and leaving baby alone. 6.22 Is approximately the scene that occur.
I like the Heavygun in the same way I like the Zaku II- it may be lacking compared to top-of-the-line suits, but in the hands of a skilled pilot, they could still absolutely bring the hurt and keep up.
@@robertdrexel2043 thats what the translated write up on Zeonic Translations about it says. And there's official art of the Heavy Gun wearing parts of 120's armor cloak/shroud (Perhaps the Vaporizing Applique Armor being tested?) with art of the regular Heavy Gun and 120 surrounding the hybrid unit. So that does also reinforce that there is a connection. I'd assume the internals are similar but it's the armor that's completely redone.
Just dug a bit deeper and I can confirm that the MSA-120 is almost certainly an advanced version of the Heavygun. (Rough translation of the Japanese blurb I found: "Despite looking very unique, "it is said" that the MSA-120 is an upgraded/advanced version of the Heavygun". And in my experience "it is said" is commonly used when they want something to be true) As for the crazy appearance, it's apparently made by the Zeonic section of AE. Thanks for the comment. And even though it's too late to be included in this video, I'm going to do my best to remember to include it when I get to the F91 Development History (because the Vaporizing Applique Armor's concept was carried over to the F91)
@@kakarot197 it's a very small detail that is really easy thing to miss, so I don't blame ya. I didn't even remember it until the suit was shown in the video. And thank you for doing these vids.
There's something about late-UC Gundam suits that's just so unappealing to me. I don't think it's the size, necessarily. But I don't know, the designs are all so uninspired. It's as though Sunrise thought to themselves "we're never going to top CCA, so why even try".
Bandai was actually behind the shrinking of MS the cost of plastic went up and they wanted to sell smaller cheaper kits but not change the scale label. So for F91 technology pushed suits smaller and we got some very easy to.mold suits.
It would have been interesting to see this smaller mobile suits fighting against the mobile suit of the One Year War and show the advantage of mobility and a harder to hit body.
Late UC isn't my favorite timeline since it doesn't have the spacenoids dilemma, but at least they're having interesting smaller MS which also doesn't use big fuel pipe exposed all over its design.

We NEED a REMADE of this video with the f90ff manga notes
the G-Cannon aka that one Mobile suit that ejected spent casings so massive they crushed some random civvie.
Well I have to say that Heavygun is the most handsome small GM variants out there
I really like these late UC mass production units. I hope they get high grades in my lifetime.(Okay maybe my grandkids’ lifetime)
The Jegan being replaced filled my heart with sadness, as it was my favorite non gundam mobile suit
I favored the Zaku 3, 4, and Geara Dogas over the Jegan and others in its line. I also favored the Hizack and the Marasai as well. I guess that makes me lean more towards Zeon MS.
@@LagunaShiroganeagreed, the Jegan feels meh, I feel a Federation hybrid small suit (GM3/Geara Doga Hybrid) would've been the better suit than the seafoam blandness of the Jegan
personally i was expecting other development histories before this
the gm
the jegan
the dom
the gouf
the gelgoog
the methus
heck maybe even a general uc gundam development line that coveres the line of gundams we see (from OG to far in the future like the crossbone gundam)
Ive been waiting for this suit for a while.
Hathaway suits looks lit (either the Federation suit to Mafty suits)
Anyway the full equipment type finally uses the apfsds.
Finally the moment I've been waiting for ❤️
Gotta love the zaku 1 Q, its probably my favourite neish msv mobile suit there is
Miniturized mobile suites come at the cost of armor, and matinance costs. This means that in the long run miniaturized mobile suties will end up costing you more in the long run.
I like the design F71 and RGM 109 and very unique. Even they outdated.
That Heavygun full Equipment reminds me of the Full Armor Gundam Thunderbolt version because it has extra weapons and a surprise attack on the enemies.
Huh, a have a new found appretiation to birgit now, the guy push the heavygun so hard, crossbone vanguard suits being better, i'm not surprised cause they are probably some of the best quality when it comes to a late century suit
6:34 i remember that one from guardians of the galaxy
I still wish we could get some modern high grades of these
Always liked how late UC grunts look
I came here looking for development history on the Full Armor Gundam and the Heavy Gundam but didnt find one on your channel. I was lead to this video by UA-cam and it refers to a different set of MS. Could you please do a development history on the FA Gundam, Heavy Gundam, FA Gundam Ground Type, and others in the Full Armor project by the Federation?
man, and i like the heavygun's design too... ;n;
Looking forward to the Javeline history kakrot
Pretty cool video
Fuck yeah! The best MP suits ever! Thank you!
The fact that SNRI just show up, poop out a first product that ended up lasting for decades that they can't even MANUFACTURE, and just thoroughly trouncing the AE presentation is hilarious.
One part Accuracy International fiasco, two parts Gundam bullshit, one complete punchline.
The reason the Heavygun made up bulks for federation MS than the G cannon because it was not a mummy killer with his shells and leaving baby alone. 6.22 Is approximately the scene that occur.
Keep any gundam material coming !
I like the Heavygun in the same way I like the Zaku II- it may be lacking compared to top-of-the-line suits, but in the hands of a skilled pilot, they could still absolutely bring the hurt and keep up.
This suit makes the Aries look good
I remember the g cannon as the MS that dropped a shell casing on a woman’s head.
Isn't the MSA-120 supposed to be a high performance Heavy Gun variant? Then again I guess that is why it's here.
Really? It looks nothing like the Heavygun though?
@@robertdrexel2043 thats what the translated write up on Zeonic Translations about it says. And there's official art of the Heavy Gun wearing parts of 120's armor cloak/shroud (Perhaps the Vaporizing Applique Armor being tested?) with art of the regular Heavy Gun and 120 surrounding the hybrid unit. So that does also reinforce that there is a connection. I'd assume the internals are similar but it's the armor that's completely redone.
Just dug a bit deeper and I can confirm that the MSA-120 is almost certainly an advanced version of the Heavygun. (Rough translation of the Japanese blurb I found: "Despite looking very unique, "it is said" that the MSA-120 is an upgraded/advanced version of the Heavygun". And in my experience "it is said" is commonly used when they want something to be true)
As for the crazy appearance, it's apparently made by the Zeonic section of AE.
Thanks for the comment. And even though it's too late to be included in this video, I'm going to do my best to remember to include it when I get to the F91 Development History (because the Vaporizing Applique Armor's concept was carried over to the F91)
@@kakarot197 it's a very small detail that is really easy thing to miss, so I don't blame ya. I didn't even remember it until the suit was shown in the video. And thank you for doing these vids.
Don't worry Heavygun, there'll be a Heavyarms one day. Then they'll see. Then they'll ALL see.
It's kinda funny that the msa 120 was beat by a gundam the mobile suit Anaheim made famous
Rhm-109 Heavygum FE type, when the answer is more doca
There's something about late-UC Gundam suits that's just so unappealing to me. I don't think it's the size, necessarily. But I don't know, the designs are all so uninspired. It's as though Sunrise thought to themselves "we're never going to top CCA, so why even try".
Bandai was actually behind the shrinking of MS the cost of plastic went up and they wanted to sell smaller cheaper kits but not change the scale label. So for F91 technology pushed suits smaller and we got some very easy to.mold suits.
This is awesome could you please do one about the jegan
It would have been interesting to see this smaller mobile suits fighting against the mobile suit of the One Year War and show the advantage of mobility and a harder to hit body.
i'm surprise the draig didn't show up being if i remember it was made from the heavygun
At 5:00, that's a strange face on the right 2nd from right 2nd row up
Late UC isn't my favorite timeline since it doesn't have the spacenoids dilemma, but at least they're having interesting smaller MS which also doesn't use big fuel pipe exposed all over its design.
We just got the loto in GBO2. It's so smol.
Gundam Heavyarms: puny arms, giant guns
RGM-109 Heavygun: smol boi close-combat MS
🤔
When in doubt add more dakka 👍🤣
