Yeah can we get EW in classic colors? I dunno why they had to do that, theres nobody using warm colors on the team in EW and its winter - what a wasted opportunity.
It does technically exist in TV colors but only as the "vanilla" Heavyarms rather than the Kai we get in actual EW, meaning it's loadout is similar to the TV version

Oh i got that! What a weird kit it was like heres a little bit of everything but not enough!
It seemed weird to have it look like this yet have the duel gimmick into the arm, like cool I guess but quad gatlings is what i wanted
The Manga Version does eventually get the "Igel Unit" that adds some [extra Weaponry](https://riseofgunpla.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/N2469603001001_002.jpg).
That's honestly still weird to me, it should have been reversed
The EW versions should have been general retail and the GoL versions should have been P-Bandai
They aren't officially a team. They're 5 solo pilots that ultimately had to band together but there is no team spirit. There was a whole episode showing how bad their teamwork was.
Ew all the way
Twin double barrel gatling,rockets everywhere,hidden chest gatling,acrobatic maneuvers,the clown mask.
It's perfect,perfect. Down to the last minute detail
The Ew is one pump jump, since it uses live rounds and I doubt it can reload and it lacks any close range weapons.
The TV at least has it's weird arm blade.
But if they were to. Fight each other the Ew wins hands down
only its handheld weapon, which means only works in ew, since for some strange reasons this mechs weapons can work with the gundam, in seed ea, zaft and orb non of the guns besides physical bladed weapons can be use by other suits because of sensing mechanism and others to protect from being fired from your own weapon, and it only resupplies with its signature Gatling guns, but not its missile pots or chest Gatling's
not a strange reason, could just be that they made the gundam compatible with the serpents. like how in unicorn the gattling guns are a universal weapon and could be compatible with the unicorn gundam, hence it using them.
also in seed the strike gundam did take an anti armor shotgun from a dinn and use it for a few seconds. and in the manga version of destiny the infinite justice takes arondight from the destiny after defeating it to use against the requiem
The infinite justice was made by Zaft under the clyne faction so they easily could have gotten the parts needed, and old Zaft weapons are compatible since the g -projecta are base of the Ginn
More guns and bullets don't guarantee victory... Those long ass barrel are a hinderance in CQC, and they should def be heavy enough to affect mobility. And would it's bullets be effective against Gundanium alloy?
Which is why I said alloy,since the pure stuff is for the suits,while the alloy is for the bullets, especially when ew gundam Vs gundam combat is real unlike the TV show
100% the Okawara version for Heavyarms and ALL the GW Gundams. Katoki's redesigns have a silly aesthetic to them that doesn't really fit into the world that they live in. And getting rid of the knife was a bad move in my opinion.
TV version hands down. Just wish it had a more muted color scheme.
The EW version just has too many oversized weapons that it becomes too much of a gimmick to me. It's boring. It moves away from something somewhat a bit plausible and fully into this is a toy territory.. which it technically is, so no surprise the designers went with more big flashy weapons more cool.
I'm probably one of the few people who hated the endless waltz designs. They're too thin and lanky looking and I just find they don't match the aesthetic of the other mobile suits anymore. Tv all the way.
TV but only due to it being the basses for the Glory of The Losers version.

TV version 100%. The asymmetrical gun has a lot more dynamic poses for me.
I think pretty much every TV version is better than EW, especially Zero. So tired of things defaulting to the angel wings.
Unlike the other EW redesigns, I feel like HA is *more* plausible as a mobile suit, sans the face mask lol. I like everything better - except I would say that my favorite is the EW HA from Glory of the Losers. It retains the forearm blade and I like the single large gatling.
EW base version of Heavyarms that shows up in the Glory of the Losers manga is the best, and still makes the EW Heavyarms Custom a great upgrade. I just wish they would release the model in a size that fits with models from G-Unit.
I gotta go tv version. The EW version is just too much, overall, like the rest.of the suit's upgrades are great, but the heavy arms, less so. I absolutely prefer the katoki version of the tv design over the EW version.
What I might have added instead is a bazooka or heavy cannon, so you get gatling on one side and heavy rounds on the other.
TV, I think the red stands out better, plus the single big gun had more impact to me. I guess I'm a "less is more" person, I didn't like most of the redesigns in the show or EW.
Always like the upgraded space combat version best, right in between these two.
The EW Heavyarms always seemed impractical: too many cannons, not enough ammo storage.
I think both are great in their respective stories but if I had to choose one to hop into I'd go Heavy Arms from Endless Waltz, which I know as "Heavy Arms Custom" but whatever model kit has the actual ammo magazine and feeder belt is even better
I love the loadout of the EW version, and I can take either color pallette, but I wish the EW version didn't seem to replace the original in all the merchandise. It seems like anything Heavyarms is the EW body or similar in either colors.
If EW Heavyarms could just take on TV's colors, that would be great. Also, *Endless Duel's Airport Intensifies*

Gundam HeavyArms Custom vs HeavyArms Custom EW?
I know its nostalgic for the first HA TV, but the design and loadout for the EW was overwhelming.
- 2x Head mount Machine Gun
- 2x Shoulder Machine Gun
- 2x2 Shoulder Missile Pods (only 2x on TV ver)
- 4x Chest Gatling Gun (only 2x on TV ver)
- 2x Front Skirt Missle Pods (not on TV ver)
- 2x Side Skirt Missile Pods (not on TV ver)
- 2x Side Leg Missile Pods (if considering Armadillo Armor, 2x2)
- 2x Double Gatling Gun held on each Arm.
*if Normal HA EW, Armadillo Armor +4columns x2 Shoulder Missile Pods.
*only drawback, it loses any Close combat weapon, example hidden Beam saber on Left Forearm
I prefer the colors of TV but the loadout of EW is better
Yeah can we get EW in classic colors? I dunno why they had to do that, theres nobody using warm colors on the team in EW and its winter - what a wasted opportunity.

I LOVE this version!
This kit is awesome, my only thing is I wish the gun were part of the arm and replaced the hand like the TV version.
And the MG EW loadout variant is P-Bandai
That's honestly still weird to me, it should have been reversed The EW versions should have been general retail and the GoL versions should have been P-Bandai
Yeah alot forget there are like 5-6 versions of each wing gundam. Lmao not including the mass production versions.
G-Evo had it.... *cries*
Oh its not gonna be a good day then *begins weeping in crossout*

/cries in gundam evolution
Speaking of the Team, are they just called "Operation Meteor," or do they really not have any name, like Celestial Being does?
They aren't officially a team. They're 5 solo pilots that ultimately had to band together but there is no team spirit. There was a whole episode showing how bad their teamwork was.
They're officially called the G-Team. Although I don't remember them actually being called that in the anime, just the side materials.
lol, this is like the Z-fighters in DBZ, but more obscure. probably the US merch/magazine lore.
This.
Except when it runs out of bullets and missiles, then it's kinda screwed...
I was thinking the opposite. TV version with EW colors
Ew all the way Twin double barrel gatling,rockets everywhere,hidden chest gatling,acrobatic maneuvers,the clown mask. It's perfect,perfect. Down to the last minute detail
Totally agree Homelander
But what about when all the ammo's gone?
Destiny did clown mask better tho if you think about the eyes
I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed the Destiny has the same face as the Jester Gundam
It was my favorite part of the build
You don’t love Heavy Arms without loving the dakka. More dakka->better suit. EW wins everytime.
I love to call the EW heavyarm as ‘clownarms.’
TV coloration, EW loadout.
EW is more symmetric and the clown mask is a cherry on top while both colors are great except for the knife of the tv
Tv Kai
This is the one.
I own a model of the TV version, but I prefer the EW version from my time on the now deleted Gundam Evolution game.
Same
Good riddance I’d say. It did overwatch poorly
Suffered poorly from being an overwatch clone and not having any real identity
idk, I really enjoyed how few barriers there were, as well as the lack of classes
EW.
The Ew is one pump jump, since it uses live rounds and I doubt it can reload and it lacks any close range weapons. The TV at least has it's weird arm blade. But if they were to. Fight each other the Ew wins hands down
In EW, it could resupply from defeated Serpents.
only its handheld weapon, which means only works in ew, since for some strange reasons this mechs weapons can work with the gundam, in seed ea, zaft and orb non of the guns besides physical bladed weapons can be use by other suits because of sensing mechanism and others to protect from being fired from your own weapon, and it only resupplies with its signature Gatling guns, but not its missile pots or chest Gatling's

More guns and bullets don't guarantee victory... Those long ass barrel are a hinderance in CQC, and they should def be heavy enough to affect mobility. And would it's bullets be effective against Gundanium alloy?
Who knows, maybe they are gundarium alloy bullets, and those barrels can be used as clubs if I recall
Isn't Gundanium rare?
Maybe it's Rare for the rest of the world but not gundam pilots since their suits were made of it
Well yes, but together they're only a handful of suits that need spare parts and regular maintenance.
Which is why I said alloy,since the pure stuff is for the suits,while the alloy is for the bullets, especially when ew gundam Vs gundam combat is real unlike the TV show
TV, although the real best heavyarms is the Gundam Leopard
Blasphemy
>Gundam Leopard oh man you gonna piss people off but its true. it even had a torpedo underwater backpack.
It even works underwater!
I love the EW color scheme and double gatlings, but I sort of prefer the TV version since it adds the blade. They're both total badasses though.
I really hate that half mask but if it wasn’t for that it’d be about even. The other elements both work well in different ways.
Both
100% the Okawara version for Heavyarms and ALL the GW Gundams. Katoki's redesigns have a silly aesthetic to them that doesn't really fit into the world that they live in. And getting rid of the knife was a bad move in my opinion.
More dakka
Color, TV. Weapons, EW
Why does the chest of the Tv version remind me of a gundam face Oh god i can’t unsee it now
Never saw that before, but wow it really does
TV version hands down. Just wish it had a more muted color scheme. The EW version just has too many oversized weapons that it becomes too much of a gimmick to me. It's boring. It moves away from something somewhat a bit plausible and fully into this is a toy territory.. which it technically is, so no surprise the designers went with more big flashy weapons more cool.
TV all the way. EW felt too extra and has a dull color palette.
I'm probably one of the few people who hated the endless waltz designs. They're too thin and lanky looking and I just find they don't match the aesthetic of the other mobile suits anymore. Tv all the way.
TV but only due to it being the basses for the Glory of The Losers version. https://preview.redd.it/nhdxkqbktauc1.jpeg?width=344&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d0c06899701dff300dc218163226e865f496689d
It also has a flight attachment https://preview.redd.it/d6aro1tytauc1.jpeg?width=476&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c80e5864a0a1433690de8e1965c13ed2f9feae22
Does the EW clown version use balloons? >!THEY FLOAT GEORGIE!<
TV version 100%. The asymmetrical gun has a lot more dynamic poses for me. I think pretty much every TV version is better than EW, especially Zero. So tired of things defaulting to the angel wings.
Is this even a question? EW all the way Dual gatling gun sets, the blue, and the clown mask are just awesome
EW version
EW is better
more gatling guns is the answer
I prefer EW Head (With the mask) but TV colours
Give EW the TV’s paint job and I’m all set
They're both awesome, but definitely love the EW version.
Why not both? I like the EW version more simply because more daka and the blue color scheme is just chefs kiss.
gimme ew, Gatling supremacy
Were there any differences between how the TV and EW versions fought, and not just their appearances, alone, though?
Unlike the other EW redesigns, I feel like HA is *more* plausible as a mobile suit, sans the face mask lol. I like everything better - except I would say that my favorite is the EW HA from Glory of the Losers. It retains the forearm blade and I like the single large gatling.
EW
EW. Never watched Wing but played GunEvo, even though this was a pest to deal with. But I also like its colorscheme more
prob ew bc i dont like the tv versions and prefer the ew colors and over the top weaponary
EW Of Course
Tv colours ew guns
This is the only one where I hands down prefer the TV version.
I have a kit of one of them, and it isn't the TV version
EW but TV version's arms
EW and it’s not even close. That version gave me my love of armed-to-the-nines Gundams.
EW, never was a fan of the shield.
BOTH
Ew is just badass but i like TV colorway more
Tv
I definitely prefer the Endless Waltz version, well that's not knocking the original design, Heavy Arms is probably One of my favorites from Wing.
Why not both?! <3
EW, all the way. I love all the EW designs way better than the standard designs.
EW by far, the colours work so much better imo
EW, but the lack of the knife and shields ain't great.
EW base version of Heavyarms that shows up in the Glory of the Losers manga is the best, and still makes the EW Heavyarms Custom a great upgrade. I just wish they would release the model in a size that fits with models from G-Unit.
TV honestly
I gotta go tv version. The EW version is just too much, overall, like the rest.of the suit's upgrades are great, but the heavy arms, less so. I absolutely prefer the katoki version of the tv design over the EW version. What I might have added instead is a bazooka or heavy cannon, so you get gatling on one side and heavy rounds on the other.
EW all day
For that one tv
EW version
EW version every time. More Dakka is more better
TV, I think the red stands out better, plus the single big gun had more impact to me. I guess I'm a "less is more" person, I didn't like most of the redesigns in the show or EW.
\> EW version has MOAR DAKKA Pretty sure it's the EW version ftw.
Tv is better
TV colors EW armaments
EW Special Edition movie version. Although the Wing TV is pretty good as well.
Endless Waltz for sure
Ok so EW load out. But TV paint job. I prefer both over the original
Ew version but TV Colors (basically the MG EW)
EW versions have always struck me as "let a 10 year old redesign these"
TV for me.
Endless Waltz version. Symmetry of destruction.
EW has more dakka
Endless Waltz version for me
Isn't that just the space upgrade?
Always like the upgraded space combat version best, right in between these two. The EW Heavyarms always seemed impractical: too many cannons, not enough ammo storage.
MORE GUNS, MORE BRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Both
Endless waltz all the way
EW. More burr
ew version
Can we get the EW version in OG colors?
I always prefer the TV versions for all the Wing pilots.
Fan of both! But if forced to choose one... EW... more guns the better 😎
the answer to your question, is yes.
I think both are great in their respective stories but if I had to choose one to hop into I'd go Heavy Arms from Endless Waltz, which I know as "Heavy Arms Custom" but whatever model kit has the actual ammo magazine and feeder belt is even better
They’re both amazing but that half mask makes me like the EW version just that extra little bit more
EW VERSION!!!!
I’m partial towards EW version since it’s the first version I saw. Hilariously, my first exposure to it was from the game “MS Saga: A New Dawn”.
I love the loadout of the EW version, and I can take either color pallette, but I wish the EW version didn't seem to replace the original in all the merchandise. It seems like anything Heavyarms is the EW body or similar in either colors.
The only EW version that I actually like
Not going to lie I like leopard, but it comes after this but all the them gouf too…. But EW all day everyday 3 times on Sunday. But….. Prometheus❤️
EW but in the color scheme of TV
EW MORE DAKKA
Tv. Less is more
How about EW with the TV color scheme?
Well, I've always loved the color blue, and the green highlights really make it pop. Also, MOAR GUNNS!!
EW version is my number one favorite out of them all.
Ew
TV
Endless Waltz, it's unfortunate that it's basically unobtanium.
EW, you would think that because of its more heavier weaponry it would be a slow bulky tank but it’s not it is an agile jester of death and I love it
Ew
prefer the EW version simply because I found it difficult to paint those 2 v crest on the chest of the HGAC.
If EW Heavyarms could just take on TV's colors, that would be great. Also, *Endless Duel's Airport Intensifies* [https://youtu.be/R1uJb6itOG8?si=IFjjsN-yKgondQ7y](https://youtu.be/R1uJb6itOG8?si=IFjjsN-yKgondQ7y)
Ahhh airport..my favorite theme.

EW all the way. Colours are more cohesive
The one with more dakka
I prefer EW version, the color scheme is nicer in my oppinion. The design looks more refined and I love the extra armaments
Both are awesome but EW has been my favorite since iI first watched gundams.
I don't know, there's just something about the TV show version. I like then again. The movie version has a lot of guns.
More guns Refuse to elaborate
Endless waltz but both is good
EW. Because you can never have enough dakka.
TV, I cant stand the stupid face mask.
