My friend as someone who enjoys your videos. I’m from California where in 1995 a craclhead not only managed to just walk into a military base but then took a tank from said military base and drive it in San Diego
Or “Transfer of Hardware by Enemy’s Forceful Takeover” (T.H.E.F.T.) of Gundams Or “Tactical Hardware and/or Equipment Forceful Transfer” (T.H.E.F.T.) of Gundams Or Gundam “Takeover of Hardware by Enemy Forces and/or Thieves” (T.H.E.F.T.)
Developing a gundam is quite similar to raising a daughter, you give her toys and watch her grow, make sure she can fend off for herself out there and make you proud one day, only for an angsty teenage boy to come and steal your baby from you and use her deadly beam weaponry and laser katanas to wage wars in space that will decide the future of mankind
Especially that **HEERO** brat. He abandons her, tries to kill her, and then when all the dust settles he goes after another to the do the same thing all over again until he settles for the actual girl chasing him relentlessly.
More or less the entire plot of Seed could have been avoided if the Earth Alliance had forgotten about all that fancy neutron-jammer tech and invested in a solid set of bicycle locks.
I can already predict the ending. MC heads to the hanger to head off for the final battle, only find his Gundam stolen. The scene ends with lasers and explosions happening outside the hanger with MC staring at the empty hanger space in disbelief.
One of the rules in the Gundam fight is that a pilot is responsible for their own Gundam so if they lose it it's on them. Would love to hear you dive into some G Gundam topics, it's my all time favorite anime so love hearing other Gundam fans discuss it especially UC fans
I would argue that it's not easy at all. When you look at the actual numbers, you might have one or two machines stolen from an military force that has hundreds or thousands of them. And in many - not all, but many of the stolen machines were taken by advanced and complex military operations.
Not gonna lie. When I was still in service I stole a lot of military properties too, cause the pay was crap and I was "ambiguously conscripted" in the first place. From basic gear to rifle parts, small firearms to mortar rounds. Some guy I knew even managed to steal some Tanks and APC/IFV's. That guy got lots of connections with the top brass. The military was so corrupt so it happened on all levels. From Generals to a buck private. As long as everyone involved gets a cut. Thats why I joined the Logistics Corps when I was given a chance to transfer. Finished my service period and used the profits to start my own farm.
Being a Gundam just means being part of the same technological line..... "Gundam" is just a line of mobile suits that are all connected back to the original..... "Technologically speaking" so no GM ground.... just a GM..... Gundam ground.... it has a different production line.....
@@shauqiharris2772 nope. But the development and history of Astray prototypes MS is full of stealing/hijacking Astray was developed using stolen data of EA G-Project. Five prototypes were developed. But all development of the prototypes are ordered to be destroyed. Rondo Gina Sahaku disagreed with the decision and allegedly stolen three prototypes ( Gold/Red/Blue) to prevent its destruction. Two other prototypes ended up at other faction. Green Frame: ended in a different faction, Rondo Mina Sahaku faction Unit no 5: ended up with Librarian Works. Turned to Delta Mirage Astray.
@@shauqiharris2772 IiRc, the Out Frame was developed using Testament Gundam's spare frame. Personally, I see it as a hybrid variant of testament+astray parts. Like a kitbash. Noir's a bit "special" since it was not part of the original Morgenroete 5 prototypes frame. It was developed by Actaeon and got a different model designation, MBF-P0X. As how Actaeon got the Astray basic design schematics from Morgenroete, I suncerely don't know. Not gonna lie, when I saw the model MBF-P0X, I misread it as MBF-P010 (since X was number 10) was thinking they were more of the Morgenroete's prototypes in existence instead of only 5. Once I read the mangas and the novels, my hopes were lost. Astray design is so cool that it made me buy the MG and RG red frame version although I only buy HG kits due to limited space.
"Wait, if France is broke, why do the king and queen still wear such fancy dresses? 'Let's overthrow the palace and cut all their heads off!'

Since you mentioned the Build Strike Cosmos as honorable mention, I would also mention the Scramble Gundam from Island Wars OVA. Went berserk and eventually physically taken (for all of 5 seconds) by Aila and Reiji's daughter (unnamed).
The fact that Lacus alone (a known pacifist) successfully stole not one, not two, not three, but four *(FIVE* if you count the ship made to carry the Freedom and Justice) of ZAFT's top secret weapons like it was nothing speaks volumes. *She almost feels like an arms smuggler now!* 🤣🤣
Spiegel Gundam is Schrödinger's Gundam. It's both stolen and not stolen. The other reason as to why the military doesn't put any safety locks on their machines (real life and fiction) is because they would need the power in case of an enemy attack or to be deployed quickly. Having safety locks would just waste precious time (even if it's just seconds).
The Build Burning, actually, *isn't* stolen. It was stored in the trophy which was put in the gunpla shelf (while disguised as a Dom), accidentally discovered, and used by Sekai when he was given permission to pick one for use. Later Sei passed the spare parts to Yuuma which solidifies the ownership of the Build/Try Burning, but from day 1 it was pretty much Sekai's.
@@arieltimeshrine8137 you can take it that way, personally I compare it to going to a car dealer ship being offered to pick one, and then you drive off with one of the workers’ car, yeah they were allowed to pick, just not that one. I would consider it stealing because the intent wasn’t for Seki to get it and for Sei to keep it there for safe keeping for Reiji. I guess think of it as you go to a store and then you take out one of the display pieces. Idk °3°
What if Gundam’s had car alarms, would that help reduce any Gundam theft? Notifying the hanger crew before they even break into the cockpit would be a lot of help
@@blackcomet2nd950 No, the main problem was one Kakarot mentioned. Outside of the ONE time that Kira did so at Mu la Flaga's prodding at Artemis, nobody ever set up PASSWORD PROTECTION for the OS for any of the Gundams. Nor did anyone ever do so for their specs, either, if the Strike Freedom and Infinite Justice being stolen Gundams is, at all, accurate.
On the topic of why it would be so easy to steal a Gundam/military hardware - one issue is likely that these machines need to be able to be deployed on a moments notice. Like you mention with the secure military base thing - the security is in the base or the ship. But when you are under attack, you don't want to have to spend that extra 5 minutes putting in a complex password, looking for a special key or waiting for some kind of complex bioscan.
The strike freedom and infinite justice were produced using the leftover combat data from the freedom and justice respectively while also incorporating new technologies such as the hyper deuterium reactor however both units were constructed at terminals hidden asteroid base and they were designed for Kira and athrun respectively so no they were most definitely not stolen
7:34 As a native San Diego resident....yeah pretty much. Was quite the spectacle though (and would've gone to 11 in a hurry if the dude had accomplices who could load and fire the cannon)
9:48 I too shrug my shoulders when a weapon literally capable of wiping out all technology off the face of the Earth gets stolen. I mean, who hasn't had their doomsday weapons taken from them from time to time.
Gotta love a military that spends millions of dollars developing a mobile superweapon, only to forget to put a lock on its hatch or remote override device
It is amazing to that it seems like Gundams are somehow stolen more than models actually exist. Especially when looking at Seed, the bigger question then is, what hasn't been stolen yet?
The Impulse Gundam, Savior Gundam, Providence Gundam, Legend Gundam, Akatsuki Gundam, Strike Rouge, Calamity Gundam,Raider Gundam and Forbidden Gundam. Edit: Sorry if I forget about other gundams that isn't stolen.
And incredibly accurate, for the context of SEED. Remember, the (initially junk) OS of the Strike had been re-written into something usable by Kira Yamato, the Strike's main pilot as well as a Coordinator. Because the Strike's controls had been optimized for an individual with the heightened reflexes of a Coordinator, a normal human trying to commandeer and operate the Strike for themselves would probably work out about as well as trying to walk straight whilst drunk. Let's just be glad Sai didn't attempt it while the Archangel wasn't in the middle of combat. Trying to do that in the middle of an active battlefield would've been like trying to drive while being too drunk to fish.
For the whole "walk up to a tank and drive off with it" thing...most if not all military vehicles use a switch start and not a key ignition system. Think how you turn the key to start a car, but it's literally just a switch. Yeah...
In the Seed universe nothing is considered stolen when the unit assign to infiltrate the enemy base and take there new toy is actually under the command of your friends friends
The three ships Alliance had Strike Freedom and Infinite Justice made by Lacus Clyne's people. It was made to dock with her ship. Also technically Gai got the Blue Frame from Lou. And most of these frames end up either given by Lou or upgraded by him and his pals here or there.
Honorable mention to Alus of divers rise who steals the Gundam Teritium by brainwashing the pilot, steals the concept for the core gundam and then just wholesale steals the earthree parts mid fight.
If you're counting the Astrays because they appeared in their animated segments, then you need to include the Sword Calamity that faced off with Gai at the end of his segment. It (along with a Raider Full Spec) was stolen by Ed the Ripper when he defected from the EA to fight against them with the South American Alliance.
Really appreciate you mentioning GM's Counterattack since apparently all of the Build Fighters side stuff isn't on UA-cam officially from what I can tell. All the Battlelouges and the two specials are gone when I tried to find them again after binge watching the first Build Fighters. I'm not the biggest fan of Seed. I don't hate it. I just find it the least desirable to go back to when I need a Gundam fix. It does a lot of things right when my brain isn't thinking "deja vu". Still if I were to live in any Gundam universe, then it would be Seed because getting a mobile suit seems less of a hassle than getting a car at times. I'd rather have a Gundam Ground Type or at least a GM, but I am not picky enough to turn down a chance at something like a civilian Astray.
Well, for the Red Frame, Erica told her friend Professor to collect it (as well as Blue Frame). So at least it was given by someone in charge of the project.
I always thought Lacus and her engineers had built the Strike Freedom themselves because they'd had access to the Freedom's data for the past two years, plenty of time for improvement. As for Infinite Justice? Space Wizards.
They still had to get the data on the Beam Shields, DRAGOON Tech, and the Destiny's Voiture Lumiere somehow from ZAFT. So that is why it is said in some background material that the two where developed by ZAFT and the plans later stolen by Lacus. However, I do think that they only stole the data on that tech and not the whole mobile suit to upgrade the plans they already had for the Freedom and the Justice.
7:51 is a solid point. Yet in the likes of Gundam Unicorn we got Banagher who is a civilian that suddenly can operate Unicorn Gundam to fend off the Sinanju that is piloted by a "clone" of one of the UC universe's best mobile suit pilot. That's one of my gripes with that series. Banagher goes haha I got the Unicorn I can only win now
Let's do non-anime stolen Gundams. We can divide them into many categories. Manga, Manga Non-UC, Arcade, Console, Light Novels, Magazine exclusives, etc.
with the whole "they don't have the training to fly a fighter jet" tell that to the Taliban who is flying attack helicopters and driving US armor with no training.
I feel like mentioning that time the Earthree Gundam Armor was stolen mid transit to Core Gundam even though it technically wasn't a gundam being stolen having your armor stolen must really hurt... good thing you have 6 others waiting in the wings for your shopkeeper bro to deliver to you
If you consider that the CC Timeline is the end (or near the end) of the Gundam Timeline, them going "Eh." when the Turn A gets stolen must mean they subconciously knew Gundam-jacking is par of the course.
Mobile suit gundam, Mobile suit Zeta gundam, Mobile suit gundam ZZ, Mobile suit gundam Seed, Mobile suit gundam Seed Destiny, After war gundam X , Mobile suit gundam Unicorn,New mobile report gundam wing.
I recall the Gaia being used in the battle to defend the Eternal while Kira got his tier 3 jesus powers, so they probably stole it like everything else yeah.
Quattro Bajeena, is not a clone... he even admits to being Char later in the series, Char infiltrated the Earth Federation on orders, from what was left of Zeon but later joins the AEUG because of the Titians... that's my understanding (after watching Zeta (Eng Dub) many... many times), if anyone knows different, I'm open to learn more....
And the fake gundam series such as Fake Nu gundam and Fake Arche could be considered stolen, since they are made from data that Alus "gathered" from GBN.
pretty much every operable Gundam Frame not in Gjallhorn's possession are technically stolen since they basically own those things. (it's kinda similar to Shirou Amada and the woman not reporting she discovered some treasure's case)
11:03 Well, let's just say it's not really Librarian, per se, but the supposedly destroyed The Clan bought the machine off of Gina's hands before he died and planted it into Librarian's ranks as they made the organization. Who's to say that its pilot became the Clan's new leader after everything that happened.

However, I do think that they only stole the data on that tech and not the whole mobile suit to upgrade the plans they already had for the Freedom and the Justice.
7:51 is a solid point. Yet in the likes of Gundam Unicorn we got Banagher who is a civilian that suddenly can operate Unicorn Gundam to fend off the Sinanju that is piloted by a "clone" of one of the UC universe's best mobile suit pilot.
That's one of my gripes with that series. Banagher goes haha I got the Unicorn I can only win now
You do know he loses almost every single fight with full frontal right?
I love when you do these
Let's do non-anime stolen Gundams. We can divide them into many categories.
Manga, Manga Non-UC, Arcade, Console, Light Novels, Magazine exclusives, etc.
with the whole "they don't have the training to fly a fighter jet" tell that to the Taliban who is flying attack helicopters and driving US armor with no training.
The way you pronounced tequila liked me as mexican...
you for got the full armored form thunder bolt and they used its parts on the pycho zaku to make the perfect gundam
I feel like mentioning that time the Earthree Gundam Armor was stolen mid transit to Core Gundam even though it technically wasn't a gundam being stolen having your armor stolen must really hurt... good thing you have 6 others waiting in the wings for your shopkeeper bro to deliver to you
EXCITED TO SEE RAU LE CREUSET ON THE CHAR CLONES VIDEOO!!!!!
"OH no we've been had" best line ever.
The Rick Dias was also made of luna titanium alloy (gundarium) and is sometimes refered to as the Gamma gundam
Ah Lacus, the best PMC boss strikes again.
Pilots who steal gundams: Hippity Hoppity You’re now my property.
As I said back in the other video,. something I really look forward looking
The military also uses crypto on their equipment, some type of key or access code to pilot the gundam
I hope you do non-gundam thefts. Kamilles father stealing Char’s Rick Dias would be my #1.
Huh. Wasn't Rick Dias technically the Gamma Gundam?
@@okeneko5768 Yeah but Char had issues calling it that, understandable given the last few conflicts he had with a gundam.
Imagine being ZAFT, you steal 4 Gundams and not only you lost all of them, but you also lost 2 new ones, and then another few more later on
Friggin Wong! Ironic how it was his "enchanting little doll" that fired at him.
My good man kakarot getting paid advertisements! Hopefully this keeps up!
“It ain’t stealing, it’s SALVAGING!”
The sinanju did have a gundam head before the sleeves replaced it.
If you consider that the CC Timeline is the end (or near the end) of the Gundam Timeline, them going "Eh." when the Turn A gets stolen must mean they subconciously knew Gundam-jacking is par of the course.
Every Mobile Suit Gundam plot: ok the military base will be guarded poorly, then this random person will steal the Gundam and the story begins got it?
Mobile suit gundam, Mobile suit Zeta gundam, Mobile suit gundam ZZ, Mobile suit gundam Seed, Mobile suit gundam Seed Destiny, After war gundam X , Mobile suit gundam Unicorn,New mobile report gundam wing.
7:47 Oof. Heavy burn to the area 51 raiders.
Also the thumbnail:
*Soviet Russia Anthem intensifies*
11:15 Glad you mentioned Strike Freedom and Infinite Justice. I think Gaia was also stolen AGAIN from ZAFT by the Terminal, no?
I recall the Gaia being used in the battle to defend the Eternal while Kira got his tier 3 jesus powers, so they probably stole it like everything else yeah.
12:15 Captured during combat doesn't really count as "stolen", since it violates literally no laws.
Yeah, with the looking into the Char clones, definitely start with that Quattro Bajeena guy. "Lt. Quattro, he is a CHAR!" Kai even says it. 😉
Quattro Bajeena, is not a clone... he even admits to being Char later in the series, Char infiltrated the Earth Federation on orders, from what was left of Zeon but later joins the AEUG because of the Titians... that's my understanding (after watching Zeta (Eng Dub) many... many times), if anyone knows different, I'm open to learn more....
@@chaious1040 Guess my sarcasm failed.
@@shawdawg3675 Sorry dude, that's on me... I've seen so many posts lately about Quattro not really being Char, I jumped before looking... I get it...
@@chaious1040 lol, I understand what you mean. Although talking about Char Clones, would Jamil be a Char clone or Quattro clone? 😊
My fancy clothes hanger just got stolen
Wouldn't the Seltzam in Re:Rise count as stolen? Also the Earth Armor in the finale.
And the fake gundam series such as Fake Nu gundam and Fake Arche could be considered stolen, since they are made from data that Alus "gathered" from GBN.
naw, Earth Armor isn't a gundam. it deserves and honerable mention. The Seltzam though, 100% gundam Jacking.
@@lupvirga Alus stole the gundam along with the pilot, just like what happened to Allenby!
Yaaay new Episode!
From a different Anime
See Knights & Magic, on how they deal on preventing their mechs from being stolen
pretty much every operable Gundam Frame not in Gjallhorn's possession are technically stolen since they basically own those things. (it's kinda similar to Shirou Amada and the woman not reporting she discovered some treasure's case)
It's not stealing, it's surprise acquitition!
the devil gundam got tentacle in the cockpit。。which is。。。。。
Well to be fair, the Sinanju Stein is a hybrid between the Nu and Sazabi data, so one can say that is... half gundam?...
Why these planet destroyer war machines have security systems of an old honda civic is beyond me.
I'll take that offer on those Char Clones video
Most of Tekkidan’s assets ended up being stolen.
From what I read, the SF was apparently a prototype being produced at the same time with the Freedom. 🤷🏻♂️
11:03 Well, let's just say it's not really Librarian, per se, but the supposedly destroyed The Clan bought the machine off of Gina's hands before he died and planted it into Librarian's ranks as they made the organization. Who's to say that its pilot became the Clan's new leader after everything that happened.
9:00 That's not a Soltic H8 it's a GRF-1N Griffin.
Lacus and her cronies. The true nature of the clyne faction is group of pilferers who conduct some high level gundam heists.
Kakarot how about a Top 5 borrowed/stolen Grunt suits?
hmm how about characters who tried to kill our MC but instead joined them
So Char
@@ryujokatagiri7019 char, a lot of seed, some characters in ibo, probably everyone in g reco considering how fast allegiances swapped
@@ryujokatagiri7019 Honorable mention:Gai Murakumo the serpent tail leader from seed astray did try to kill Lowe Guele in the beginning before becoming his friend.
Edit:Same situation with Canard Pars from X Astray.
Abolish all private property, let all access the Gundams!
14:30 thank you for pronouncing the names right if I hear 1 more person mispronounce Barbatos as Barbados I’m going to Drop a colony on there house
Can we get a bit where we see some rando trying to steal a gundam only find out it doesn't have the key to start
And commenting that his/her plan should have work
Hey if you haven't already, can you make a video on the development of the Gundam EZ8? I've heard even some Zaku parts were used in the rebuild.
