    According to some sources, the ZI-XA3 Crabman was completed in May UC70, but this enter in deep contradiction with Mobile Suit Illustrated 2003 (backed later by the manga Acguy Hakase) and the G20 tribute artbook, which both claim the competition and the ZI-XA1 (ancestor of the ZI-XA3 obviously) started in UC71, which invalidate the "UC70 Crabman claim". Still the design for the UC70 Crabman remain relevant as the form III Crabman is said to have received added armor to pass the walking tests (G20)

      No realistically, Char died in his thirties, had he lived to its forties-fifties, that's the age he could have perhaps declared signs of sickness, but perhaps in UC they can treat that.

    This is a very cool "ORIGIN" of mobile suits as a concept and thus the Titular Gundam in general. Would love to see a similar video for the M61 MBT, Guntank and Land Battleships of the OYW.

    Also I appreciate your distinction between UC and Origins timelines, and that while Origins contains U.C. content it is not necessarily canon. A lot of people just lump Origin in with UC.

      @@gundamfacts I haven't actually picked up Origins yet, but it's not the only Gundam media to contain contradictions and retcons. I view it as each title being like anything else in history: An account that is, at best, someone trying to piece together other people's accounts into something coherent. Of course, people's accounts contain only what they know, what they believe, and what they want you to believe-lies and propaganda are what they are, and the truth is always the first casualty of any war. And that doesn't apply only to the accounts the historian is trying to piece together, either. They too report what they know, believe, and want you to believe.
      A lot of inconsistencies and contradictions blur to nothing through that lens.

    Very funny to think when MS-06D is developed from MS-06J than Developing from MS-06F
    They're jumping from C type to F type and later created D type from J type that develop from F type
    And E type basically the same 😂

      @gundamfacts  2 роки тому +1

      Actually, lead can over time be absorbed in the air and then find its way in the pilot system. Sure it would require a LONG time, and Normal suits would be an easy counter, but still.

    Another great video! Though I was wondering about the MS-05 variants like the commander type and the Q variant.
    I heard conflicting reports that they were made before as either commander units before the OYW or as refits to keep the MS-05 relevant.
    Was this before or during the OYW and it’s impact in MS development, besides that I learned a lot of info.

    • @gundamfacts
      @gundamfacts  3 роки тому +3

      If I remember well, the Q Type Zaku I is an attempt to refit some of the Zaku I in UC78, but the plan was abandoned after 30 units because the Zaku II was prioritized. As for the Commander Zaku I, it was created in the same year to act as an intermediary unit for some units since the Zaku II deployment was behind schedule, but wasn't really used before UC79. In the end, both came later than the regular Zaku II

      Unfortunately it is not. Origin UC is based on Gundam the Origin manga, which has many differences with the Canon UC (UC79 TV series). Bandai isn't Sunrise even though the two companies have merged and their agenda still consider the Origin as a new version of OYW UC, as stated by multiple statements from Sunrise/Bandai on Japanese press meetings, and responses on Twitter.
