    Kakarot197 did talk about this in his high mobility type zaku 2 video a little bit about the zaku 2 he did also talk a little bit about the Gelgoog but still but in reality the Gelgoog was pretty powerful for its time. If you can push it to its limits it was invincible in the battlefield just piloted correctly and you are good but the zaku and the Gelgoog are just the same hell the pilots did say that the Gelgoog is just a zaku 2 HMT but in Gelgoog close 😅

    Me at the opticians to get my eye sight checked
    *Opticians shows several zeon mobile suits
    (Optician) "so far so good, how about this one?"
    *Optician takes out the gelgoog
    (Me)...
    (My Internal thoughts) okay so it's either the gelgoog or he is trying to trick me into thinking that and instead it's a zaku, damn it
    (Me) "That's a gelgoog"
    (Optician) "Okay, that wraps up the test and let's see the results"
    Moments later
    (Optician)"Mr xxxxxx, you failed your eyesight test."
    (Me) wtf, cmon you can't do this to me I mean that question is either the gelgoog or a super zaku

    The Gelgoog, a mobile suit that had such little time to shine and was mostly piloted by rookies. Ironically, it was less successful than the MS it was supposed to replace, the Zaku. It would never get to see an actual successor to its name. Its spiritual successor, the guaiz, would also meet this fate by Zakus all because the writers wanted to cash on some nostalgia. The Gelgoog ii will never be.

    Hi Gundamfacts! Not sure if you are gonna read comments on a older video, but I was wondering if you could someday do a video on a lore and development of landships from original Mobile Suit Gundam.
    They were such an interesting concept of the first half of the show but they rarely if at all appear in the later UC stories so I would like to know what became of them.
    Thanks

  • @afelias

    I'm watching this video because I wanted to further play down a scenario I was inspired by Gundam vs Zeta Gundam where the White Base's Vote to Attack Char's Musai + the resupply ship instead ended in failure, and Char beat Amuro and they got more data on the Gundam and possibly other Operation V machines from it. Would that have sped up beam weapon capability for Zeon had they had access to the Gundam beam rifle and E-cap technology? Would they have produced a beam-capable Zaku HMT R-2 or something like it?
    But really the headscratcher after watching this is that the R-2P, R-2, R-3S, the UMT, and the YMS-14S all show up starting October of 0079, just a month and change after the Side 7 incident in September. That is some serious time compression considering how hard it probably is to prototype whole MS.

  • @KnightManCross

    I think your comment at ua-cam.com/video/Uk7vHxj4f-U/v-deo.html is right, it is in principle a super Zaku.
    The Zaku was the main stay mobile suit, and the Gelgoog was to replace it. The major difference between the Zaku and the Gelgoog was that the Gelgoog had a different look and had better specs, but nothing else.
    EDIT: Some one pointed out that there is another big difference between the Zaku and the Gelgoog, which is that the Gelgoog could use beam weapons

    Why didn't Zeonic give the r2's unit an atachable generator backpack instead of a literal bolting another mobile suit?

    • @gundamfacts
      @gundamfacts  Рік тому +2

      That was actually a thing. In MSV-R, there is a R2 shown using a backpack connected Gelgoog's genetor as an external attachment. The thing is that there are two reasons why Abine/Albert likely proposed Zeonic the Escort Unit:
      - Energy dissipation seems to be a thing in this kind of systems. The R2 with the external attachment isn't able to fire real beam rifle shots, but just beam gun shots (like the R2P essentially), which is not bad for sniping but not great in general...and that's when using the generator of a MS which normally 100% support beam weapons (when installed in the chest). Considering the R2S needs to power up not a beam rifle but two high output beam cannons, I wouldn't be surprised if the Escort Unit has actually a generator output of 2000-2500kW, something rather dangerous if used as an external power source without frame.
      - the External attachment of the R2 totally fucks its high mobility features by essentially teethering it like an anchor. Granted, the Escort Unit does the same to the R2S but to a much lower extend, as the Escort Unit still has thrusters, vernier and some AMBAC, so it retains a semblance of mobility to ease the R2S job of having to move with it on its back.

    • @gundamfacts
      @gundamfacts  Рік тому +4

      My guess is that the Feds toyed with the Gelgoog line (Galbaldy Alpha) but ultimately cared more about quantity with reliable performance (GM/Zaku type) than high quality per unit. Anaheim proposed a cheap suit mixing GM and Zaku technology (Hizack then Marasai), which supported beam weaponry (which honestly represents most of the core assets of the Gelgoog) so they went along
