However the concept didn't work out and they never settled on a final design, because producing and animating such a MS would have been too expensive in 2002.
It is then when Okawara pitched the idea of a MS with wings and long range capabilities, which of course turned into the Freedom as we know today. The change was such a big deal that they had to rewrite the majority of the battle scenes in the second half of Seed.
So no, the perfect strike is not a Destiny wannabe, it's the product of an idea that is more than a decade old.

A product that wasn't realized in its time and doesn't match any of the old concept arts for it. So it is pretty much a Destiny wannabe that was finally realized after the fact. Don't forget that Destiny was in the works long before GSD was even greenlighted or GS ended.
