Well that's certainly... unique so to say. Gundam really is whatever you name it as

Given how the G-Lucifer looked in G-Reco, perhaps we should've expected this.

Do you mean A Gundam or the Gundam (as in the Gundam Barbatos in disguise)?

[Wandering Soul]

Gusion is one unique looking Gundam.

Don't you mean a Gundam in the series? Is not the Barbatos the main gundam of this series?

[Frontier]

Well, if nothing else, this series looks like it's definitely going to stretch the idea of what a Gundam is supposed to look like .

A Gundam, my silly mistake.

New info from 4chan:

New MS is called マンロディ(Manrody?), heavy armor&high output concept MS. Has Machinegun and Hammer Chopper(mounts on rear waist). Belongs to ブルワーズ(Blue Wars) force. HG in December.

Gusion can mount its Hammer on the back and its Machinegun on rear waist. HG in December.

Hyakuren Amida Machine is pink and releases in December. MP unit is blue releases in November.

I doubt any other series can go crazier than G Gundam in that department .

i think Gundam is slowly on the verge of becoming Kamen Rider when designing rival Gundams, as several rival Kamen Riders doesn't have the typical insect-like compound bug eyed look which is standard in a traditional Kamen Rider, opting for a visor or medieval knight look,

at least Gundam Gusion has the standard Gundam eyes instead of Gundam G-Lucifer's mono eye system,

i think i will have to spent my time trying to balance the gunpla of this thing, skinny legs & huge backpack is not a good combination.

I wonder what the fork on Gushion is supposed to represent.

Say hello to the more of the crew

Courtesy of gunplaaaa (more close ups of the kits can be found on GundamGuy for those interested, you can find all the names there as well along with the custom designations for some of the specific pilot use units)





I have not found a single unit for far (MS) from this series which design I did not like at all

[Obelisk ze Tormentor]

^ LOL @Barbatos stealing Graze’s shoulders & forearm-weapon. Is that how Barbatos will evolve? By cannibalizing the strongest parts of enemy-MSs it defeated one by one until it becomes a mishmash? Sounds like a fun game to me.

And look at the contrast between Gushion’s hammer’s parts. The handle is extremely thin that it looks ridiculous. I hope the show provide a good reason of how that thing works. Maybe a special material?

Hmmmm I think in the end all we really care about is seeing the Gushion bashing in some stuff with that in an epic fashion

I don't know, still don't like the Gusion being a Gundam. But, there ya have it. The term is getting s little fast and loose tonme, but w/e. I'm just glad to see the Hyakuren and Hyakuri have lineart finally.

And here's somemore info from mechatalk. Got a tech reason as to why the Gundams are stronger.

-ASW-G-11 GUNDAM GUSION
-ASW-G-66 Gundam Kimaris: Main weapon is Lance. Has shoulder internal weapons and a folding solid sword stored on the rear waist
-Gundam Frame: has high output because it has 2 Ahab Reactors. However operating 2 of these in parallel is difficult so only 72 units were planned and rolled out 300 years ago.
-STH-05 Hyakuri
-STH-14S Hyakuren&Amida's: Teiwaz's all purpose mainstay MS. Often operates with the Hyakuri. Amida's has just a different color.
-UGY-R41 Man Rodi: Brewers' mainstay MS
-TK-53 CGS MOBILE WORKER(Space Type): propulsion equipment for space use instead of wheels. Has 30mm Machinegun

Confirmation on Ippei doing Kimaris, Gusion and Man Rodi.

Hyakuri&Hyakuren must be Shinohara's.

Guessing now the Barbatos and co aren't nuclear powered.

Wouldn't that just make it a Gundam version of Megaman?

[GN0010 Nosferatu]

Man if there is one thing I'm really loving about this series, is the weapon designs. They all have a rugged simplistic design.

[darkdhaos]

If there were 72 Gundam units made in the past, doesn't that mean that this series needs to be longer than 13 or 26 episodes so it can be able to show most of them?

I doubt we'd see more than 10, that's counting mid season upgrades if there is going to be one.

The better question is: are you sure the mecha designers of IBO series already came up with most of those 72 different Gundam designs and made them official? If not, you don’t even have to worry whether or not the show will have sufficient episodes to feature most of those 72 Gundams coz most of them will likely not appear in the show in any significant capacity.

So let's first wait for the linearts released by Sunrise/Bandai for that.

[Patriot's Blade]

i think the rest of the 72- Gundams will either appear in a flashback or was destroyed in the past unless many units managed to survived, seriously, if the Barbatos is fighting against or team up with some of the 72 Gundams, original numbers intact or not, it would just make it G Gundam set on mars exceept more interesting as you can pick parts from a defeated Gundam for you to use, its GUNDAM FIGHT READY GO!! but now with item drops

also, ever wondered if the Gundam Gusion is actually a normal looking Gundam that happens to wear a bulky armor?, underneath that chubby dome head is the traditional face, V-fin & all, ignoring Virtue/Nadleeh & masked Fereshte Gundams, its not the first time we seen a Gundam wearing a disguise-like configuration as shown in post F91 era ZZ Gundam & Astray Red Frame's that is a homage to the U.C. Gelgoog.
