For originality's sake, I'd say the Justice Gundam was a really original concept.
It's combat style is basically spliting into two platforms to confuse and engage the opponent from both sides. Having the backpack engage the opponent like a fighter and battering ram while the MS itself still has many combat options including dual boomerang tactics, rifle/saber comboes, or dual saber comboes, or boomerang + rifle comboes, etc.
It's certainly a more original design that Freedom, being a Double X shadow with added guns on the hip.
Strike Freedom however, is probably the biggest rip-off in design concepts, taking Hi-n's wing-arrangement of it's remote weapons, Sazabi's belly cannon, Buster Gundam's rifle system, even the wings of lightish effects of Destiny and Stargazer (which is still nothing compared to the original Victory series). Doesn't mean the SF isn't cool though.
