I've always wondered what would happen if Kira acquired the STRIKE NOIR as opposed to the FREEDOM in SEED.
Having said that... the Earth Federation is the butt-monkey of the show, being at a technical disadvantage ever since the latter half of SEED and never seemed to recover. Their crowning achievement of mobile suit design was probably the NOIR. The Destroy became third-rate after Stella's death, and we've seen no better replacement. You know, the Feds in UC weren't saints, but they weren't the butt-monkey. The Earth Federation in SEED gets punched, maimed, thrown aside and eventually cast away by just about every faction in the series, even by their own people. Funny now that I think about it. How does it stay in power like this? - Tak

No, Mwu doesn't count. Sure, ZAFT wasn't exactly goody-two-shoes either, and they were just as bad in SEED as the Earth Federation. But at least they have people who thought the leadership was engaged in something extremely dangerous, and attempted to change within. It also doesn't help that the latter had very few, if any, likable characters. - Tak

IWSP and Noir are nice and the Strike Gale also looks nice, but I still think the original Strike is the best. It does justice to the RX-78 and still preserves its own identity without trying too hard. I just love the simplicity of it's design.
I also love the Aile Strike. Everything is sharp and smooth with little to no curved lines in the design. This perfectly complements the Strike, better than all the other striker packs. The Aile pack really feels like an extension of the Strike rather than an add-on.. I have the impression that the Aile Strike was designed as one single MS, and they came up with the the striker pack idea later on. Quote:

It's worth noting he bullseyed that guy with the thrown gun.
The point was he just didn't want to shoot him dead. Not that he literally didn't know how to use a gun. Of course in Destiny Meyrin's still shown to be a better shot than him. |

It is also worth knowing that Brer-- I mean Kira forgot to even pull out the safety and had to be reminded. There. His marksmanship is probably so poor he could only hit the arms and legs, never the chest.

Well, it's not like he knew how to use a Gun at that point. By Destiny he seemed pretty confident when he pulled a gun at the end, than again his target was seated so it's not like he could miss even if he tried.
