Probably because both the Akatsuki also used Strike as its basis. The Strike was basically the mother for all Earth Faction suits. Orb also had their hands on Strike several times as well so its no doubt they would've used it for other purposes.

The E at the end of 105 is another thing to look at as well. It's more of a "varient" of the same model.

Athrun had just betrayed the Minerva and ZAFT, in case you forgot.

Also, in case you forgot, Shinn didn't want to fight Athrun, and was listening to what he had to say, until Rey intervened.

*blows Lunamaria and Impulse to hell*

Uh, no. Rewatch Final Plus. Lunamaria got in Shinn's direct path once he was already moving. Its not like there's a magic 'instant stop' button.

And Shinn started freaking out when she did that, because he remembered Stellar and Mayu's deaths. That was Lunamaria's fault, not Shinn's.

*Left Minerva fighting by itself*

When? At the end of the series? He was fighting against Athrun, an enemy.

Kira and Athrun(and Mu) did the same thing at the end of SEED, leaving behind the Archangel and the Eternal to pursue Rau/Patrick, with no one but Dearka to defend the Three Ships.

Or did I misunderstand that part?

You don't even need to go to the manga, just look at Cagalli.

They did keep the gray frames... the reason it looks so much like akatsuki is because akatsuki looks so much like strike. This new gundam has "wings" which something that strike was missing (without the aile pack anywayz) which adds to the akatsuki look.

this can be good if it follows theese rules
1. no lacus clyne(she killed c.e.)
2. don't touch the events of seed or destiny.
3. don't ripoff past gundam series.

I think its great that they didnt do any fancy new shizznizzle gundam but upgraded proven to be good design of Strike

Where´s is your avatar taken from?

I personally (if we get a 3rd season) wants to see Athrun and Kira fight in upgraded version of Strike and AEGIS. Aaah~ I miss those two Gundams, maybe I should rewatch SEED again.

Its from beginning of 2nd episode of GSD, photoshopped it a lil bit (to see what can be done for Gifs with Imageready)

I love the Strike Noir design!

Kind of reminds me of a fanmade gundam idea I had with a combination flight/rifle pack. Strike noir also has two mini beam weapons on each wing that look like they can rotate, wow!

If only they introduced an Aegis Blanc, which was a proto-type for the Regenerate gundam. It could have many of the Regenerate upgrades.

To me, even Akatsuki looks like a heavily customised Strike, take in to account that Strike was built by Morgenrate and that every other Main Mass Mobile suit on both EA and Orb are based on Strike as well. Strike is like the Granddaddy of all CE mobile suits

Anyhows the Strike Noir "back pack" somehow reminds me of Freedom's "wings". Especially if you look carefully you can see 2 Plasma Cannons housed on the "inner edge" of its "Backpack". You can see 2 beam sabres sticking out of the backpack.
I think on the hips you can see what looks like 2 small rifles
There's no doubt that it packs some firepower.

[Demon-Hunter]

Without even watching the series itself i can tell you that this OVA > Destiny bec ause:

- No Lacus Clyne (i agree with the guy above, her character is inconcievable)
- No Lacus' labdog in godmode (kira)
- No Fukuda as director
- No Mrs Fukuda as script writer.
- No overpowered Suits *cough* .//Hackatsuki *caugh*

What more can you possible ask?

PS: To demongod and any other Kira/lacus fanboys: Essteefu (stfu)

shooot, akatsuki only seemed overpowered since it never fought anything decent lol.

Well the M1 Astrays and Murasames are probably more heavily linked to the original Astray Gundams.

But of course Strike had its part in their development.

More like 2 pistols, duel-wielding probably.

Im wondering now if its gonna come with a prototype beam sheild
Some people might wonder "what was this guy possibly doing when the rest of Phantom Pain was trying to take out Minerva?". Although thats proberly the point of the OVA

[[DarkazurESky]]

Strike was a leader type amongst first gen of Gundams for offense, I believed. And Aegis was a leader type in strategy for defense. Thus, I believe Morgengrate based Astrays off Strike because it is their best. Not only that Kira gave all the datas from original Strike, Erika Simmons also remade Strike for Mwu, and also made Strike Rouge; thus Mongengrate sure knows Strike inside and out. Akasuki was based off Strike because Strike's data is the best they got. Freedom and Strike Freedom never bothered me since Kira is still not dead. But Strike Noir, give me a break the name is good and look is cool but what is next? Strike Jaune (yellow), Strike Blanc (white), and Strike Argent (silver)?

lol... A Strike Sentai squad? That would be pretty funny, and disturbing at the same time.

Don't know about that... The 'Stargazer' sounds like it could be another one of those overpowering suits... Though we'll need to wait and see.

[SNT1]

strike vert as SEED's 08th MS knockoff ftw

[4Tran]

I, for one, am very disappointed. It looks like we won't have Murrue Ramius as the pilot of Strike Noir, and Natarle Badgiruel as her copilot. Hopefully, we will at least have Kajiura Yuki doing the music.

[Commander 598]

Maybe Stargazer is a UC style mobile armor?
