Man, Virtue needs more love, i think its underated, people need to take a closer look at it and see its one awesome mean looking gundam who looks like it can tear a gundam with its bear hands and point blank at its face with a super beam. I think it has enough fire power to take out a moon or a space station or a nation from orbit.

I don't think anyone doubts the virtue's capabilities, I think the Virtue's bulkiness just isn't very appealing to people.

Fat face makes it ugly!
We haven't really seen Virtue fight either. He just sits in one place and shoots a few beams.

It's basically what Dynames does, except in a less cool way.

Dynames and Virtue specialize in different assualts, don't mix sniping and sweeping together as attacks. Virtue doesn't need to move do the blast size it creates from its weapons, Oher might need stealth or other tactic, but sheer destruction has it own advantage other than forcing opponents away or into the target range.

Virtue doesn't need to move that much because of its defense capability. Imagine Dynames with the same bulkness, it will come down to just that and the weapons.

I assume people would hate it because bulky gundams look less appealing. My reason is simple, it is different regardless of the weapon it would stand out.

Virtue probably can do pretty severe damage when it finds the location to oberliate.

Well, the silly thing is, Dynames has been taking a lot of hits too thanks to that imba shield!

I mean, it'd be nice if he were more stealthy, but flying around in the sky and sniping or jumping in the middle of a circle of MS makes him just as vulnerable as any other Gundam = (

It doesn't matter how often the shield is use, as oppose fully ultizing every aspect of the gundam to their advantage. In terms of weaponry used so far, Kyrios and Dynames have used it completely. Virtue, well it needs to demonstrate that secret, then it is hard to say. Exia, seems like it need more training even against the other gundams would help.

You kidding. What Virtue leaves behind is a crater of mass destuction and desolation, thats like saying, dont you f*king mess with me or ill turn u all to nothing but desolate ash of mutilation. I dont think it evens need to flinch even when they bring a whole fleet of battle cruisers at it.

What Virtue makes of the other gundams are like a bunch of sissies who take out nothing but pebbles of insignificant dust mites compare to its sweeping vacum of extermination.

Fatness dont apply to robots compare to humans. For a fat robots means more armor and bigger size means more bad mother f*ker is what the concept of 40 foot metal stands for.

That is what I mean. The gundam Virtue, Kyrios, and Dynames prove there place already, rather than trying to acheive one like Exia.

Only problem with Vitrue, against any MS with decent speed and he won't do a thing. With Dynames you get a good shot at first strike and his shots are fast. Kyrios has speed in his transformed mode, and Exia has the most speed close up.

Is speed neccessary? No it isn't, in Virtue case, it is using the armor to its advantage, for even the other gundams have a setback for losing a greater defense. Shots and slices are meanless if the armor is discardable, for that reset the stage for battling.


For the other gundams, don't assume that scenario will always make them better in Virtue, for nobody seen the true capability of it. If you are mention other gundams, describe them well if you are going to make a point with it.

I assume that you don't go to the news and discussion thread. Virtue has more in store in that fat body of its.

So someone with half a brain and not a redcoat will stand there saying "hmmm giant laser cannon that takes 3 seconds to charge... Naw, no need to move". Unless he suddenly gains the ability to shot rapidly, all he'll be good for is grunts who are too stupid to be human. It's not about the moving speed, even though that is a big part of it. Its his shooting speed as well. Also, if he does shed his armor, what good is a giant cannon if you cant stand long enough to use it.

First, I'd like to show you this, and it solves the problem of Virtue's bulkiness.
Second, I think you assume that Virtue's beam only goes in straight line? I'm not really good at explaining, so I think you better rewatch ep 8,where Virtue sweep out whole platoon in one shot. That's it. Even if you dodge, he just need to turn a small degree, the beam would go a large range. So, the shooting speed problem is solved.

However, Virtue isn't designed to kill one MS. Its purpose is to take down big and station target, or large army in formation that isn't easy to split up.

First Virtue was one mean armored bastard with godly fire power, now it looks like a scary alien from evanglion, except it has red hair like predator., like nano hair machines. Im going for Virtue all the way.

But we don't know the capability for virtue's other mode. As for it regular one, at least it has another options to choose from.

I just read 00V chapter 2, about Dynames Torpedo. The code number of DG014 means Dynames Gun (not sure if it's Dynames's Guns or whatever, as I'm reading the chinese translation) number 14. But it's unknown that if 14 guns were made. And HRL's orbital elevator is built on sea.
