Kakarot's Notes: -The caliber of the GM Cannon's Cannon has changed over the years. In the manual of Ye Olde 1/144, it's listed as 360mm, but in more recent sources, this was changed to 240mm (which makes sense because it's the same caliber as the Guncannon). This means that the calibers of the cannons listed in this video could possibly change in the future, but are the consensus at the moment of uploading.
so a 14m tall MS could somehow carry a 360mm gun? how the frick a MS would carry a BATTLESHIP GUN even if it was a "Howitzer" grade (which would make having a big ass gun meaningless in AMS combat) 240mm is still large, but more manageable and i can somehow SEE it having effective frontline use given lessened ammo carry issues
@@andrehashimoto8056 that’s where the term gun dam came from: a machine that could dam up the enemy with its firepower. So to answer your question… because anime lol!
could you give us lore on some of the obscure Moon Gundam MS? there are a lot of interesting Zeon units most specifically the Zaku IV that deserve a video. Edit: also why was there never a GM Cannon III?
As a Pilot that has over 600+ sorties with it on Gundam Battle Operation... Thank you so much for doing this. The GM Cannon's are my all time fav suits
Same I pulled the gm cannon so many times when I started and got a level 6 and boy does it support, equipped with the beam spray gun I can hold my own most times
Personally I prefer it when units are unaccounted for. It gives writers, both official and fans, a plausible reason to use certain ones in a story. If they care about such things of course, but then again I like it when a story does that sort of thing. More on topic, the idea of giving a unit a paint job that can disorient enemy pilots in high speed space battles is quite the tactic. Of course such a paint job makes them an easier target should they slow down for a good shot. Then again space camo isn't really a thing. Kind of surprised that I haven't heard of this being used in Gundam until now. It sounds like a tactic that a Build series would use as an Easter egg for the fans that knew about it.
There is another gundam lore channel I found who make more late uc content called gundam facts. I think it has to be my third pick after Kakarot and Gamore when it comes to UC lore
@@ryujokatagiri7019 yeah grunts usually mean mobile suits that have limited to a large amount of units made. This means that the f91 and victory could count as grunts
@@Bobert2020 Considering how light the armor was on both, theoretically they could be mass produced (maybe not at the same rate as other mass productions, but still...)
A thought reguarding the "low production" but "high proliferation" of some of the mobile suits: it may be possible the facilities over produced them in anticipation of better orders only to have to dump them onto the privet market. This would leave "official" production numbers low but result in a lot more of them being out and about. Particularly if some of the more wealthy commanders/generals were free to buy equipment for their forces beyond what they were issued, similar to how some generals in the American Civil War bought Gatling guns for their forces inspite of high command refusing to foot the bill.
Considering the state of OYW federal weaponry, probably launched and fought with the ammo it already had. Nvm, got to the point you were talking about.
I want to think the cannon folded all the way down so the magazine could be swapped out when it was necessary; I don't know how many rounds each one could hold though
Mobile suit limbs don't always move exactly like human limbs move. I know by at least the gryps war mobile suit hands could rotate 360 degrees. That mechanism probably has something to do with how the gm cannon could reload. In order for a human to reload something like that the gun would have have to be detachable. The gm cannon could probably just do some weird shit with its arms/hands and reload that way. I think finer movements required for stuff that tend to be automated on mobile suits.
There's something about the GM that really makes me excited when I build any of its variants/iterations. Maybe because it's simple, straight to the point and usually has godlike articulation and customizability. It's just my favorite mecha design of all time even after all the fancy transforming, laser bits, psychoframes, gn drives and other stuff that gundam came with in the future.
I prefer there being missing GM Cannons rather than having all accounted for, as it lets collectors who may have laid out their own era specific MS squads or fan fiction theorycrafters come up with their own little stories for those missing models without having to bend canon too much... Plus, it always leaves open the trope of Chekov's Gun(dam) where a later series could have one or two of these lost machines mothballed in the back of some warehouse, ready to be stolen by some plucky kid as per gundam tradition.
Its more likely those went to spec ops units and were scrapped when they were no longer of use, but the official records couldn't be updated... Hence "Missing", its that or they were destroyed or stolen enroute to the units they were earmarked for, plus perhaps afew of those were testbed models that went into testing other stuff? Logistics dictates that you can't loose that many mobile suits and not have the brass breathing down your neck about it... XD Which is why the second explanation makes more sense than the first cause you do not simply lose that many precious and costly mobile suits and just shrug it off, you look for them and find out what happened, hence my suggestion they went to spec ops teams. In reality it sounds like somebody goofed on the math and created too many mobiles for the available storylines and just half assedly listed them as missing so as to solve the immediate problem...
I'm usually happy to hear that machines were unaccounted for, went missing, or were only partially destroyed in combat. It leaves a lot of room for future stories to have them be found, used, modified, or even used for parts. Like the Dom Gnomides in Code Fairy being a Dom Tropical Test Type, attached to a hover unit from the machine Ramba Ral based his squad out of (I'm forgetting the name), and the Hildolfr's cannon attached to that, along with some other changes from the pilot and engineer's plans. I'd love to see more of this show up, especially in some of the time periods between major conflicts where various factions were still fighting and often making and testing some interesting units.
So true there, although I prefer the Space Assault version or GM Cannon II. After seeing this, it would be great to see more GM Cannon models/versions get added to the game.
It’s on and off for me. Some times I have a really fun time with the gm cannon and other times I find it to be just way to slow for me. When I do take it though I tend to arm it with the machine gun.
I want an anime about the North American Campaign and the Africa Campaign during the OYW. Kakarot197, Make it happen! We all know you have the power and influence!
Guncannon type ms always seemed very practical to me. Make the cannons swappable for other weapons or equipment and you've got yourself a real multimission capable machine.
In my school vr game they where in combat in space and where they try to protect 4/5 of the franxxs from goalius but failed and where forced to watch goalius slaughter 4/5 protagonist franxxs from darling in the franxx this upset zero two and hero and they try to kill goalius and one rid on stralizia lion type mode but 3 where made mince meat by goalius stalizia was koed by goalius and then teleported to the skip jack class ship the omigon and there's a veriont called the GM dainsleft a GM cannon that has 2 dainslefts that was used in the grand slam and ultimately there where 5 made ( 25 are made in total but 5 where legit 20 where GM cannons and graze dainsleft types where created by goalius giya wave
Jesta was a high-performance suit based on Jegan. It was meant to be used alongside RX-0, to defend it when NT-D's time limit is expired, and to eliminate the non-NT enemies so the Unicorn's anti-NT capabilities are utilized optimally.
I have two of the old 1/144 GM Cannons, the Redhead and the Original. I also have the GTO GM Cannon Rocket Bazooka. This video is kinda making me want to build one. 😆
Gotta love the gm cannon II, I was thinking of doing some sort of kit bash hazel gundam type thing with the hguc gm cannon II but you can't find that kit anywhere.
Holy shit Giren decide to use the super weapon to kill his old man. Seem like what he got coming to him was a little light, but still killing your own dad with a super weapon you're just asking to be tried for high treason against the Principality and I don't think his fellow Zeon soldier would consider him a Zabi. On the plus side if Kcyrillia actually supported her father then she could easily salvage the peace negotiation.
To be fair, degwin also kill his son, allegedly I mean, who kill gihren older brother? Sasro It could be kycilia, but kycilia is loyal to his dad, so i have no clue Why do sasro need to die? So degwin can warrant arrest against his peers who are against him, which ral family was
I love GM Cannons. Sometime, I think I ought to figure out some way to possibly kitbash a GM Tank, just since, even if it makes total sense why the federation would never pursue that, it'd still be kind of fun.
the one thing i can NEVER wrap my head around is how anyone thought that the GM Cannon can reload its main gun when the mag was placed in such an inconvenient spot. if there is some footage of it reloading, then i'll stand corrected, but for now, i definitely think it's one of the more annoying minor design flaws out there
What i love about the gm cannon and the gm line and predecessors and ancestors is the battle in torrington base. That was a hype that my childhood imagination of robot fighting sure does add up.
Love GM & Guncannon lines. The variants (& successors) and combinations are well suited for their purposes and a delight to use in the video games. I'd take a group of these over a couple gundams and take on the enemy with skill any day.
The GM Cannon 2 chunky boi is my absolute favorite bon gundam mobile suit ever. I don't know what it is but I love that guy. I use to have an action figure of it when I was small. The best GM
So happy you made this video. Mind you I am not a fan of the Original GM line at all, hell I still can't help but remember all the Nemo's getting blown up in Zeta Gundam, along with all the GMs you see get destroyed. Despite that though I absolutely love the GM Cannon, it's my favourite early UC Grunt and my favourite Fire Support MS in UC.
1:19 Wait in five days? Ya know, I used to think the number of units that popped up in the one year war was kind of ridiculous, but hearing they had a turn around like that is...well it puts things in perspective, but it's also really nuts to think about.
How did both the Federation and Zeon manage to produce such a large and varied collection of MS in such a short time? It just feels as though the OYW was to short.
@Emperor Takemikazuchi Chandelier Mirage I mean, we hear a lot about production delays as the reason why there are so few of certain MS, but that isn't really what I was asking. I am more curious about the plethora of designs. Design anything takes a long time and with as complex MS must be it can't be an easy process.
The principality of Zeon has several companies for testing and mass production (for example: Zimmad company). On the other hand, the federation elaborates project V, a plan to rapidly mass-produce its own MS Additionally, it must be noted that practically both sides have tons of mineral resources due to the asteroids that each one has.
0:31 is that Daitarn 3 pretending to be GM in the lower right? the head looks a bit different... Looks like there's another easter egg at slightly upper left of the center but I can't tell what it is meant to be.
Physalis Gundam: someone thought that developing MS around the concept of Casaba-Howitzer is good idea. Destroy Gundam is a Psycho Gundam ripoff, because Shinn was not Camille enough without having a mentally unstable enemy supersoldier love interest dying is in the giant walking war crime of a Gundam.
When I played UCGO back in the titans days (when the mechanics were utterly broken and all you could do was stand around and chat with people also standing in suits) I fell in love with the GM cannon. I'm holding my breath for a non-space assault type HG.
I always remember the GM Cannon 2, because it and Keith were one of the many people sended off into the future on the Turn A-themed area in Super Robot Wars Alpha Gaiden.
I've been enjoying these as well as questions of the week! I got a question. While I know lore states that it wasn't fit for mass production, where does the Bugu fit in terms of abilities? Is it better than the Zaku I and or Zaku II?
Do you have any plans to do a Lore on the White Dingo Team? No one has one on UA-cam that I could find, and I never had a chance to play any of the games. Only read some Wiki articles.
I'm a bit miffed you didn't talk about the Cannon Illefuto, seeing as while it wasn't explicitly stated, was pretty obliviously a very removed descendant of the GM Cannon
One more RGC-80 can be accounted for: the one deployed on the Asian front in Borneo by the 17th Armored Marine Division alongside the GM Spartan and GM Scout in the Special Ops 2nd Team.
What really doesn't make any sense ist the power output of every Mobile Suit and Gundam. Imho they shouldn't be in kW but rather in the hundreds of MegaWatt or even GigaWatt with their nuclear reactors. Powering such Giant Machines can't be that low and with their later beam armaments it has to be far higher. I can't see the Freedom using just a couple of MegaWatts in Full Burst Mode. That's something where the franchise would need some corrections to be a bit more believable. Also Fusion Reactors would be more believable in later iterations of Gundam and not the nuclear types.
My Fav is actually the GM Cannon II and its manly Nastigalsga reasons but its a Cool Unit I been looking for Model kits for it manly the 1/144 scale but its Hard to find its such a Cool unit to have
It's a good thing that the Federation learned the importance of standardized parts faster than Zeon did, or else that would have been a much bigger problem.

Looks like there's another easter egg at slightly upper left of the center but I can't tell what it is meant to be.
1 Guncannon costs the same as 4 Zakus
Considering how they performed in the anime, I'd say that's actually very cost effective already
But you want more stuff in a realistic setting because if you lose one that is like losing 4 zakus.
@@Aceshot-uu7yx true, but then again, Zakus aren't really the most expensive thing around lol
@@thomas_mafty_haha yeah but in terms of millions of dollars spent I would rather get 4 zakus to 1 gun cannon
The development history of the Destroy Gundam or the Physalis Gundam. Great video by the way.
Physalis Gundam: someone thought that developing MS around the concept of Casaba-Howitzer is good idea.
Destroy Gundam is a Psycho Gundam ripoff, because Shinn was not Camille enough without having a mentally unstable enemy supersoldier love interest dying is in the giant walking war crime of a Gundam.
Requesting Jesta video! Great stuff!
I love fire support, Guncannon and Guntank are awesome. Really love the D-50C Loto and D-50D Guntank.
When I played UCGO back in the titans days (when the mechanics were utterly broken and all you could do was stand around and chat with people also standing in suits) I fell in love with the GM cannon. I'm holding my breath for a non-space assault type HG.
I always remember the GM Cannon 2, because it and Keith were one of the many people sended off into the future on the Turn A-themed area in Super Robot Wars Alpha Gaiden.
GM Cannon 2 and the GM Custom were the first suits I think I ever saw. Nice stuff, especially the Cannon. I like the fire power potential.
In the right hands they were able to perform at the level of the gundam types of their time

Too bad plot armor is the very manifestation of favoritism.
@@othyrsvaal5036 not always, look at what happens to most of main characters from tekadan
Finally, my favorite mobile suit. Time to simp the hell out of the alternative models
In GBO 2 I used to main the GM Cannon 2 it was fantastic with the GM rifle and the space assault type is still great now at low costs
I've been enjoying these as well as questions of the week! I got a question. While I know lore states that it wasn't fit for mass production, where does the Bugu fit in terms of abilities? Is it better than the Zaku I and or Zaku II?
Should be between the two
I love gundam and I love this series 👏🏾🙌🏾
The GM Cannon II remains of my favorite iterations of the GM and I really wish we get a mg for it one day
Loved this suit even since i saw it in Gundam Rise from the ashes for Dreamcast
Dang, the White Coral is a pretty MS. That back-of-the-forearm mounted double twin heat hawk is just such a funky weapon.
Guncannon ( Mr. Tomato )
Do you have any plans to do a Lore on the White Dingo Team? No one has one on UA-cam that I could find, and I never had a chance to play any of the games. Only read some Wiki articles.
Can we get a Theta Plus development history?
Next to the Zaku the Gun Cannon is my favorite suit. I also like amphibious suits.
Hey Kakarot,I was just wondering but have you ever looked at any of the Man Machine designs from Gaia Gear?
White coral is one I would pilot dude that thing looks cool and seems well equipped a mobile suit that stand toe to toe with Gundams
I'm a bit miffed you didn't talk about the Cannon Illefuto, seeing as while it wasn't explicitly stated, was pretty obliviously a very removed descendant of the GM Cannon
I have the GM Cannon II from the short-lived action figure line on my dresser (along with a Gundam Heavyarms).
One more RGC-80 can be accounted for: the one deployed on the Asian front in Borneo by the 17th Armored Marine Division alongside the GM Spartan and GM Scout in the Special Ops 2nd Team.
I fell in Love with the GM Cannon in GBO2. Made it all the way to the A Ranks with it.
Are you gonna need to make a multi part video’s about gundam wars such as the first alliance plant war ?
please do a development history of the S.N.R.I formula series
Space Assault always a solid support pick in Battle Operation and that Jesta Cannon is handsome suit
Was there not some in gundam thunderbolt?
So next would either be a development history for the gm striker, or the a lore video about the immortal four before operation stardust.
The RGC-83 had 2 reactors one main reactor and a separate one for the beam cannons
Waiting for Rick Dias development history
oh wow i think i have a new favourite GM
What really doesn't make any sense ist the power output of every Mobile Suit and Gundam. Imho they shouldn't be in kW but rather in the hundreds of MegaWatt or even GigaWatt with their nuclear reactors. Powering such Giant Machines can't be that low and with their later beam armaments it has to be far higher. I can't see the Freedom using just a couple of MegaWatts in Full Burst Mode. That's something where the franchise would need some corrections to be a bit more believable.
Also Fusion Reactors would be more believable in later iterations of Gundam and not the nuclear types.
@kakarot197 didn’t we see GM cannons used in the thunderbolt series as well or were those guncannons?
Gm development history please!
My Fav is actually the GM Cannon II and its manly Nastigalsga reasons but its a Cool Unit I been looking for Model kits for it manly the 1/144 scale but its Hard to find its such a Cool unit to have
The GM Command Cannon was most likely the result of someone in logistics sending that unit the wrong spare parts
It's a good thing that the Federation learned the importance of standardized parts faster than Zeon did, or else that would have been a much bigger problem.
