Maybe it would, but as it was shown - everything was completely unworthy in the wake of Athrun and Kira
But that aside - Legend wasnt that bad - i mean it fought equally with SF before Kira told his BS to Rey. Legend had the lamest defeat ever (Forget Chaos, that thing sucked beyound reason and shouldnt be called a Gundam) - i mean it got beamspammed to death by freedoms rainbow guns.
