- FAZZ. If you absolutely MUST fire every missile, beam cannon and hyper mega cannon on your person in one go, then settle for nothing less.



...okay, the original FA-78 Full Armor Gundam is a close second.

Call me oldschool, but my favorite FA suit is the Heavy Gundam, especially when I look at its ungodly Frame/Heavy Launcher:

This is why I'm considering buying the Exclusive MG which got released recently even though the price is a bit crazy.

One would be FA Unicorn.
The other (for giggles) is when someone took a Qan[T] and gave it every weapon the GN0000 series has.

My favorite so far is the Barbatos, I just love it's kind of incomplete look so much:

Spoiler for Barbatos:

Also like his giant mace but as someone who likes swords I need to see it wielding one in the anime:

Spoiler for Barbatos with sword:

Here's hoping it looks even more amazing as things get added to it.

Barbatos isn't my favorite but it's pretty up there. I really love the design and the details are pretty sweet too.

I prefer the mace over the sword though. I was not a big fan of the mace at first but it really grew on me. I am going to miss it. The way they explain how armors and melee weapon work in the series make me love it even more because I feel like it makes sense.

Yeah, i'll miss the mace too at least until they go in atmosphere and he begins to use it again to wreck lives.

If I ever get into gunpla (really damn close to it) I migh use the Barbatos as the base for my own custom model.

Won't happen if that was their only mace. It was left behind in the escape, and the direction and momentum it was left in means it's headed back down to the planet. Now, in real life, Mars lacks an atmosphere, but since this is Gundam and they successfully terraformed Mars, it would have one here.

Which means something that small and not set up for that kind of heat is going to result in that weapon burning up in atmospheric reentry. The weapon is, sadly, gone for good.

I believe it does have an atmosphere, although thinner than Earth's.

I'm afraid not. Bad news for IBO. AGE now more likely. >.>

That article says that Mars has lost the majority of its atmosphere, not that it has no atmosphere left. So it's like what I said, it has a thin atmosphere.

[Rising Dragon]

There's still a noticable difference between what you're saying and what the reality is. Thin atmosphere implies there's still something to work with, but the reality of the Mars situation is that it's virtually gone. There's nothing to work with--Mars' CO2 atmosphere is literally only 1% of Earth's own atmosphere at sea level. If the CO2 on Mars was released, there's nothing there capable of containing it currently, and it'd all just get expelled out to space, which is apparently exactly what happened when Mars lost its magnetic field.

Either way. Still bad news for IBO, and it makes AGE's situation far more plausible. But that's neither here nor there as far as IBO's concerned, so either way Tekkadan ain't getting that particular mace back.
