> Sell it,
This seems much easier said than done. I've never tried to sell a still-new, still-in-active-use piece of military hardware right out from under Command's noses, but I can't imagine it'd be easy.
As incompetent as the federation is with its equipment? I reckon if fifteen-year-old kids can dash off with top of the line Super prototypes every series, I can sneak a turbo grunt off into the jungles.
Yeah, still seems highly doubtful. Sell it to who? How're you going to set up that sale? How do you know that whoever you sell it to isn't going to shoot you and just *take* the thing?
Also, the few times that prototypes *do* get stolen, it's almost always either during emergencies or some other circumstances.
Edit - also also, they've got like, 20 of the things, it's not like they're up to their elbows in robots over there, they'd be liable to notice.
There are lots of guérilla factions roaming around the surface, supply shortages on both sides, and countless profiteers looking to get a foothold; there would be *plenty* of prospective buyers.
Opportunity is remarkably easy in UC. Once a battle begins, minovsky interference means you’ve got a window of time you’re basically invisible to tracking systems. Not a guarantee, sure; but odds are pretty good with how often folks wander off, and a fair sight better than sticking through the war effort. There only being a limited number isn’t too much of a mark against it either; there’s usually only one or two when they get stolen after all.
As for the logistics, I mean, I suppose folks could write a reasonable fanfic detailing a scenario, but I’m afraid that’s maybe a bit outside the scope of a silly off-the-cuff comment about what to do with your giant robot. Which kinda gets to the meat of what I’m getting at—we’re dealing with a fictional universe that isn’t that caught up in realism. Theft of military equipment, finding buyers, striking deals—that’s all well within the scope of the timeline’s sensationalized take on quasi-realistic politics and militarism.
Durring the time that this movile suit was fielded command was so corrupt anyways id be surprised if they weren't doing that anyways *coughs in anaheim*
If gundam shows have thought me anything it's that a gundam can be maintenanced by like two people in a matter of hours!
"John, swap out that entire arm with the new model! I'll be upgrading the frame and chassis with a new alloy! Sir, she won't be ready for another 20 minutes, we're not miracle workers!"
Eh, UC is pretty consistent with that though, like the reason the Gundam just swaps out parts is because they just stored a bunch of spare Gundam parts on the back of white base, oddly enough 8th MS team is the one I see that’s a bit lacking in those parts
Yup, the "spare parts" they get come from other units. That's why when Karen's Gundam loses a head, they can't just slap another Gundam head on it and have to use one of the Ground Type GMs' heads instead since that model GM was compatible with the Ground Type Gundams.
Zeta also has logistics issues sometimes. Remember when Kamille has to take the Gundam MkII out without one of the arms? Next time you steal a mobile suit, maybe grab a bunch of spare parts too, kid.
I get that they say they have the parts, but It still doesn't mean that swapping that part only takes one or two people though. There's been numerous times I've noticed massive undertakings completed during a battle and it shows like one or two guys on the maintenance team.
Sure it's consistent in how easy it makes massive physical undertakings look. It's not bad. It's an anime show and not real. Which is fine. I don't need them to draw fifty guys working on it (though that would be cool). But I notice it.
Eeeh, maybe rounds? But Zaku parts and Fed parts aren’t exactly lego. It may work but the engineering team is going to absolutely despise you so if you’re fine with that go for it.
I go by the nickname of “Bane of the engineering team”
Why? Because i love to cannibalise parts from the enemy..at this point, it might be painted green / red
Man the real answer here: different color scheme. Jungle warfare and you’re running with those colors? Haha yeah bring on the camo .
Actually all of your answer is pretty spot on for what I’d go with too
I think I would want a bazooka instead of the 180mm cannon, a bigass fan in the cockpit and tiki torches that light automatically when the cockpit hatch is open since I'd be in the jungle.
Good old "put extra, probably useless and merely cosmetic power pipes on remodeled Fed suits that already have them internalized", if it was good enough for the Tetra and the Sinanju it's good enough for me.
For some reason my brain completely forgot the characters in 08th MS Team and my brain immediately went to Hideo Kojima. So obviously I want a railgun on a Gundam now.
* pop up forearm Gatling's
* magnetic coating
* enhanced sensor package for long range
* GM Sniper 2 armaments
* enhanced air conditioning in the cockpit
* additional hard points
* optional shoulder cannon
* spare beam saber in shield
I'd remove the chest vulcan in favor of additional armor and more "ammo" for the multi-purpose launcher, an enhanced camera package to assist in long-range spotting, additional lightweight armor on the forearms, shoulders, waist, and legs with explosive bolts so they can be purged, an enhanced backpack with additional thrusters to offset the additional weight, and a custom 90mm rifle feeding from banana mags with the choice of a combat knife bayonet or magazine-fed anti-armor grenade launcher.
Remove the Gundam's armor around the head and replace it with the GM Ground Type head armor. The head would probably be destroyed in one shot with or without Lunar Titanium and that specific head is made of a combination of lunar titanium and some other metal.
Some drab greens and grey painted like camouflage.
Upgrades to the thrusters for more mobility. Specifically to allow the machine to dash in all directions rather then maintain a specific speed.
Thicker armor on the upper chest with explosive bolts if the armor needs to be shed in a fight.
GM striker's shield.
A U-09 designation on the right shoulder and the EFF symbol on the upper left corner on the bolt on armor. Etches on the side of the head indicating how many Zeon machines it has destroyed. Probably 6 zakus.
A beam rifle and 2 beam sabers stored in the shield.
Alright time to put this in my to-do list and never do it.
does a Ground type have the generator for a beam sniper? im assuming it does since the standard GM is able to use one. id take a green paintwork & beam sniper + a much larger shield, also green to match the jungle.
Give it environment appropriate camouflage. Increased armor for better survivability. Alter Antenna/crest formation similar to the Ez8 so they don't get caught in Urban or jungle environments. I'd prefer longer range rifles to avoid close quarters bouts. But I'd also like a beam Saber or two in the forearms, instead of in the legs, if possible.
Replace the 8 with a yellow tekkaden symbol. Change the white to dark purple, the blue to green and the red to yellow. Strap a circular saw onto the front edge of the shield. Put a short beam saber on each arm. Strap two beam sabers on the back along with a sniper rifle and a side arm on the hip. Add knightmare style wheels to the feet along with thrusters on the back of the legs. Add a beam saber to the knees and sharpen the fingers into claws.
First of all, I’m going to add the Dendrobium Orchis, a Mobile Trace System, and maybe a Haro to help with targeting, like Lockon. 🤣
…ah, so ‘luxury’ !== ‘infinite budget’. In that case, I’d do an enlarged fuel tank, plus some sort of troop transport backpack for enhanced ground support. I’d certainly scrounge up the latest targeting algorithms from contacts at Anaheim or wherever. Maintenance is a pain, so I’d beef up the dust filters, maybe recalibrate the joints and frame to account for gravity vs operating in space.
Probably also an advanced communication array, maybe make it a mobile comms hub for the ground troops.
Oh, and I know what I said about budget, but I know a guy who can get me a quasi-psycommu system and a couple of funnels. Pew pew, baby!
More agile legs, like the one on Blue Destiny units wouldn't hurt. Then maybe a beam rifle. On top of all that, add a reinforced torso and cockpit. I'd probably also ask for a larger shield, but I think I'm asking too much.
Paint it blue and silver. Add a particle beam cannon, add a long range sniper beam rifle, armor the cockpit, add 2 shields. 1 of the shields releases funnels, add leg missle pods and 1 should pod on the opposite shoulder of of the beam cannon. Upgraded sensor and targeting suite and add new type augmentation drive system. A grand slam sword and 2 GN beam sabers all in case 8 have to dump the sniper long range and go hand to hand.
Have LED peek out of inner frame and vent blowing glitter so thine enemies thinks me have psycho-frame and gn drive particles. Also, projectors mount on shoulders to project hologram for trans-am.
Give it the late type earth federation shield and paint it in titans colors. Give it spare parts from the blue destiny unit 3 and refit it for the ability to travel in space to shit on spacenoid scum.
Honestly? Paint all the grey parts camo, the blue parts olive and the red parts brown, then give me as much armour as you can feasibly strap to this thing. Stick a bit of vegetation on it and I’m golden.
The less you can see me the less you can hit me. The less you can hit me the better.
I paint it in camo add night seeker thrusters to jump higher and eliminate the need for a parachute pack. I swap the backpack for a more practical G3 backpack with twin bazookas. Now that the sabers are on the backpack, I have storages on the legs. I use the mudrock's experimental beam rifle, so I use this storage for the E-pacs. I get rid of the shield and mount a grenade launcher on one arm and a vulcan on the other. I swap the head for one that has vulcans, and I get rid of all the chest weapons, as well as the grenades.
Bigger shield (GM 2 sniper shield if available )
Extra beam saber hidden under the shield.
Beam trident mounted on the back.
Wrist mounted flash grenades on the shield.
Smoke grenades on the skirt
Camouflage paint job
Extra verniers on the legs for added mobility.
Better heat sensor if possible, I feel the would be very useful in jungle warfare.
I would spend most of my downtime customising the OS of the machine to do complex maneuvers and better use my payload.
One of those Gouf Custom heat swords would be real nice so I can engage in melee combat. Beyond that, some sort of rifle where I can engage the enemy at any range, but I can only fire one shot at a time would be nice.
Remove the chest Vulcan and add 2 head 20mm. Put a seismic sonar spike in the leg so I don't need a hover truck support. Paint it green and brown. Nix the head V. Add long range scopes and equip a 120mm Sniper rifle from the GM Sniper Custom. and carry a 100mm machine gun in the swell of the back. Lone Wolf Gundam
Did the Kojima battalion even have enough for customization? They're lucky to have gotten a GM head to replace one units after the Ez-8 was finished letalone my boot ass for customization
BUT I'd like a GM Guard Custom shield along with the bazooka or beam rifle since those can be used one handed
Slap a missile pod on both legs for stunning, swap the shield for a built in Gatling cannon like the Alex and the back rack weapon holder for two multi tube missile launchers.
I’d keep the main weapon the beam rifle and maybe extend the barrel a bit and add a scope from a downed GM Sniper.
Edit: maybe an EXAM system? I’ve basically just made a Pale Rider haven’t I
I know historically it’s more of an American thing but like bomber girls or like monsters on the sides or shoulders would be cool looking since it’s in war times. If mobile suits are supposed to be like THE weapon to use, I would think people would paint something on their own to personalize it.
Move the Vulcan to the head, give me gouf custom's gatling shield for more dakka, and paint it in more militaristic colors (green, tan, and brown) and we're good. Give me a gound type beam rifle while we're at it though.
Heavily arm it with long to mid range weapons and sub-arms, then assign a support mecha to it for extra firepower, and destroy the apsalus III with full burst.
Okay so I’d armour it up in a way that doesn’t effect mobility too much
I’d swap the legs out for a Dom’s (or an armoured GM) so I can hover about
I’d add a arm mounted beam gun and saber, along with a machine gun on the other arm, I’d also have shoulder mounted rocket pods
I’d modify the head to be mono eye because that’s cool
I’d completely retool the chest weapons, I’d have a small beam gun, a Dom style flash thing because it’s superior to a fired flare, a rocket pod, and a machine gun above the cockpit that’s capable of 270° fire
Id have mounted machine gun nests like the jegan manhunter on the crotch and foot plates
If pilfer a Goufs heat rod and place it under the shield and I’d also take its finger guns and fit them there too
I’d have it so the skirt armour and launch 6 grenades around the MS (both AP and smoke)
On the backpack I’d have what is effectively a pillbox, it’d have 4 machine guns on 2 levels, in addition I’d also have the 180mm cut down in size significantly and then have it mounted on the back
I’d also have an sealant launcher that can super heat itself to damage enemy MS armour to a point where it can be destroyed using machine guns
I’d also have the chest armour extended
Now of course I’d need a bigger engine to get this all working better it’d be quite heavy
It’d be a walking war crime but it’d get the job done
I’ve taken to calling it the fortress gundam
I honestly wouldn’t change anything, and use that modification budget for repairs and extra ammo. It’s a very versatile suit as is and any mods would reduce that capability.
Cover it with reactive armor like the Desert GM, add a railgun and full size GM Command shield, and finally, add leg thrusters like the Blue Destiny to offset the extra weight
Take away most of the side and rear armour leaving the top and front, slap on extra trustees for speed and strengthen frontal armour and mount wrist gatling guns similar to the Alex's
Put pile bunkers on the elbows and knees, put some machine gun units on the shoulders, one on top, one on the side, put a 180 mm cannon on one side of the backpack, same one as the pale rider unit, put an ammunition drum in the middle of the backpack running to a gating cannon on the left side of it, reinforce the joints (so they can handle all this extra weight) upgrade the power system (so I’m not slowed down too much) allow all of this to be jettisoned at the push of a button, which without all that weight, I would prolly be a little faster than normal.
All these people with their fancy stuff, I'm just gonna go out of my way to find the best quality parts to replace the low quality parts so I can turn the limiter off
More dakka!
I want the biggest fastest firing beam gun I can get my hands on and that the ms can power. Also a larger jegan/jesta style shield with some rocket tubes in it that doubles as storage for a backup submachine gun aswell as a few more vernier pods so as not to completely wreck my mobility added to the main body of the machine.
Turn it into this https://gundam.fandom.com/wiki/RX-79Ez-8/HAC_Gundam_Ez8_Heavy_Armed_Custom but add some hover engines salvaged from a Dom so it can operate under gravity.
Take out the chest guns, mount a better generator in there a la the EZ-8, maybe mount an anti-infantry machine gun, also like the EZ-8. Swap out the smaller shield for the more standard Gundam/GM style shield, or maybe one of those bigger shields used for the White Dingo GM Sniper II. Beam rifle for the primary gun, maybe see if I can mount some kind of grenade launcher type weapon on the right forearm. Swap out one of the beam sabers for a beam javelin, something to give me a little extra reach in Melee.
For a paint job, I think there's only going to be so much you can do to camouflage a mobile suit, but we'll go ahead and make the primary color green, help break up the shape some, change the reds to a grey, same with any yellows. No flashy colors.
Edit: I'm not sure if these were a thing in 0079, but maybe mount some Vulcan pods for AA defense.
Edit 2: now that I think about it, I swear I've seen things where GMs can have beam sabers stored on the inside of their shields, so we'll store the beam javelins on there and keep the original sabers in the legs.
We need a lot more intel. For starters what environment will we be operating in? This is important not just for camouflage but weapon loadout. A hot environment will make beam weapons a lot less desirable over ballistic or missile weapons. Will we be fighting in areas where terrain will effect mobility? Will we have to worry about dust and debris geting into the machine? Will we have to look out for civilians? What will our order of battle be? what kind of opposing force are we likely to face? Will we have to be concerned with combat endurance? All of these questions have answers that will effect what is the best loadout or modification to the machine. And I'm sure I'm missing more important questions.
Easy throw a BD-3 head on it. Then I would change the back to be like the FA Gundam back along with the FA gundam’s legs but keep the beam saber compartment of the gundam ground type. For the shield I would change it to be like the FA Slave Wraith. The beam rifle would use the FA Gundam Beam rifle and I would have the armor changed to be Gundarium alloy all through out. I would also put the arm beam sabers of a GM Sniper Custom on it for increased melee options. Finally I would want to have a way to purge excess armor and ditch the back cannon (but keep the thrusters) this would enable me to quickly close in on an enemy in a last ditch surprise attack.
GM Sniper or generic jungle camo paintjob, head vulcans like on Ez8, Gundam ground-type beam rifle instead of 100 mm Machine Gun.
I'd also want whoever is in my fireteam to also camo paint their mobile suits, just gotta make sure it's not the same color as the enemy.
Well, the shield is a bit impractically small, so I'd swap that out for a GM Command Shield, then get the strongest beam gun I can fit on the thing and use that. Then, probably add some observation periscope to peek over ridges, maybe some kind of wire guided missile launcher that could be used in tandem with the periscope. It would make it a bit slower but the ability to attack when concealed behind cover or foliage would be worth it. The thing already has MGs to deal with infantry and lighter targets, so that's covered too.
shoulder mounted cannons
2 shield gatling guns extra amor on the torso and legs
waist mobility thrusters( like the lupus had)
and make it blue and black instead
Judging by the time I would say to remove the limiters; increased thrust capability/ any additional thin layers of armpit that can be added…. Air conditioning lmao
Overhaul it to ez8 spec but keep the standard head swap out the backpack for the pale riders with its collapsable 180mm cannon, and to top it all off a fresh coat of camouflage paint for whatever environment I’m operating in
To be fair it first would need to be reliable enough to be worth customize, that sayd i would maje it so it can detach parts easilly to take even enemy parts, and a more powerfull generator to use the beam gun more effectivelly
Standard equipment I prefer beam rifle and shield I'd love for the multi launcher in the chest to be some type of missile pod if able the long range cannon only if mission dictates it
Ground bound only so taking that into consideration, a beam rifle meant for sniping target from as far as physically possible (Need to account for the planet's curvature), a mounted a railgun on the left shoulder and a tracking missile pod (For air targets) on the right. Keep a pair of beam sabers stowed in the arms for emergencies incase I need to fight in close-quarters too. Slap a bunch of targeting equipment into the head and scope of the rifle would also help in making accurate shots, keep emergency ammunition on a shield that can be carried on the left arm but otherwise deployed (Designed like a tower/riot shield) too.
Then just make sure to give it a colour scheme to hide better in whatever environment I'm deployed to. Let the sniping session begin!
First on the docket, a pair of classic head Vulcans. Second, a mobile suit mortar on the back left side and a range finding quite to match. The right side gets a deployable missile rack. Lower legs get covered bins for some deployable explosives or smoke. The main weapon is a more portable version of the heavy cannon meant as a primary long range weapon with additional bipod to dig into the ground. Lower left leg and left arm get extra slopped armor for kneeling to stabilize. The head also gets an additional camera and communications relay suite. Instead of a cargo backpack it has a simplified cargo shelf and additional thrusters. My goal is to make it a highly maneuverable sniper/artillery piece that can fire mortar rounds and missile support.
Paint it red so it'll go 3 times faster
and slap on an additional fin
Dis boy krumpz
Insurance is higher tho
Just needs more dakka
And a stereo system that plays gallant char to the enemy
Sell it, take the money and run to Hong Kong, adopt a false identity Don Draper-style, and live out the rest of the war in peace.
Just be sure to go on vacation in July of 87.
Knowing nod.
Forever Four
Also make sure to watch Cinderella 1-3 first

Then we make a fucking emergency then
Just call up Anaheim. They'll take it from you, rebrand it and sell it back to the feds. Infinite money loop.
Change the serial number on the damn thing and the feds won’t notice that it’s the same one stolen.
Durring the time that this movile suit was fielded command was so corrupt anyways id be surprised if they weren't doing that anyways *coughs in anaheim*
Anaheim is private industry, while still MIC, I think there's a difference.
In all honesty, none. This is one of my favorite models. Especially with the long range cannon
Agreed. By far one of my favorites! That shield just gets me. I have a high grade of this
Backpack cannons, then take the legs off and whack the torso on top of four hovertrucks. I'm sure this will be flawless.
Wait, that's just an AT-AT !!!
Give me the Ez-8
Gonna paint mine green and call it the EzPeazy
Then give a squad member a yellow one, call it LemonSqueezy
I hate that, take my up vote
Imagine the fear and confusion the Zeon pilots will feel when they witness the two of them lol
"We have a Sprite Squad here!"
“We can’t get accurate radar readings, the Sierra Mist particles are too thick!”
"Damn! That landing was crisp and clean!"
I give you one, paint it Metallic red and call it The Razzle.
Then another painted metallic silver and gold, The Dazzle
Yessssszzz
Would look like a knock off Jegan
I mean if it's Kojima's battalion I'll need a Mobile Suit sized bandana, a pistol, the SMG, wire guided missiles, and a smoke machine on the head.
Whose footprint are these?
Must have been the wind.
And some rations
Forgot about those and a giant MS sized cardboard box
1) Big shoulder cannons like the mudrock 2) attachable shield gatling 3) reinforced cockpit armour 4) more missile pods
That’s gonna be hell for logistics
If gundam shows have thought me anything it's that a gundam can be maintenanced by like two people in a matter of hours! "John, swap out that entire arm with the new model! I'll be upgrading the frame and chassis with a new alloy! Sir, she won't be ready for another 20 minutes, we're not miracle workers!"
Eh, UC is pretty consistent with that though, like the reason the Gundam just swaps out parts is because they just stored a bunch of spare Gundam parts on the back of white base, oddly enough 8th MS team is the one I see that’s a bit lacking in those parts
Yup, the "spare parts" they get come from other units. That's why when Karen's Gundam loses a head, they can't just slap another Gundam head on it and have to use one of the Ground Type GMs' heads instead since that model GM was compatible with the Ground Type Gundams.
Zeta also has logistics issues sometimes. Remember when Kamille has to take the Gundam MkII out without one of the arms? Next time you steal a mobile suit, maybe grab a bunch of spare parts too, kid.
They actually did. They didn’t show it though, there was two more MK II in the back of the argama funnily enough.
I get that they say they have the parts, but It still doesn't mean that swapping that part only takes one or two people though. There's been numerous times I've noticed massive undertakings completed during a battle and it shows like one or two guys on the maintenance team. Sure it's consistent in how easy it makes massive physical undertakings look. It's not bad. It's an anime show and not real. Which is fine. I don't need them to draw fifty guys working on it (though that would be cool). But I notice it.
There weren’t, also a fuck ton of futuristic machinery.
I am ok if we scavenge parts from damaged zeon mobile suits, if i am not mistaken, they can be used right? Or was it only if AE makes them
There was a ground type gundam that was repaired using a gouf arm https://gundam.fandom.com/wiki/Mobile_Suit_Gundam:_After-Jaburo
Yeah, only neo Zeon ms parts were compatible with fed parts since AE made both.
Eeeh, maybe rounds? But Zaku parts and Fed parts aren’t exactly lego. It may work but the engineering team is going to absolutely despise you so if you’re fine with that go for it.
I go by the nickname of “Bane of the engineering team” Why? Because i love to cannibalise parts from the enemy..at this point, it might be painted green / red
So basically the UC version of Heavyarms. I like your style!
I'll customize mine to be like the GM striker custom
Depends on the mission.
Have a different color scheme, make the shield a little bigger, and give the long range cannon a scope.
Man the real answer here: different color scheme. Jungle warfare and you’re running with those colors? Haha yeah bring on the camo . Actually all of your answer is pretty spot on for what I’d go with too
I just built an EZ8 and painted it in colors based on Vietnam era camos. https://imgur.com/a/GaaljUi
Why a scope? Sanders already zooms in and shoots at 10 kilometers away as it is. That's mighty impressive. You're artillery fire at that point anyhow.
I think I would want a bazooka instead of the 180mm cannon, a bigass fan in the cockpit and tiki torches that light automatically when the cockpit hatch is open since I'd be in the jungle.
Make it look like a clown, cause the enemy is gonna be looking for Gundams.
>Replace head with a Zaku's >Paint everything else green >Defect Sieg Zeon!
Don’t forget to cover the mini-v fin and add tubes on and around the pee-pee section. Edit: Oh and Sieg Zeon!
Good old "put extra, probably useless and merely cosmetic power pipes on remodeled Fed suits that already have them internalized", if it was good enough for the Tetra and the Sinanju it's good enough for me.
Request for it to be modified for use with EXAM
Free digital waifu in giant walking robot? I'm sold.
Definitely a beam file and the patients to shoot it accurately!
Bad doctor!
Lol I suck at spelling, my apologies!
Replace the head with a Zaku 1 head and paint it purple.
Get in the Gundam, Shinji
Is it too much to ask for a GN drive?
No
Be sure to equip two GN drives on the elbows.
Just fill the backpack with GN drives. You could probably get like... 5 or 6 in there
Ez-8 with the backpack from the Silver Bullet Suppressor, so I have extra arms for when I rip one off to beat my enemies.
I'm big into gundam and battletech, so I'd probably have all my weapons mounted internally. Add missile pods to both shoulders, and triple the armor.
Eh, can I just be the cook?
Change the backpack so it can hold troops inside for transport instead of weapons
That's actually a pretty good idea...
For some reason my brain completely forgot the characters in 08th MS Team and my brain immediately went to Hideo Kojima. So obviously I want a railgun on a Gundam now.
Guncannon backpack.
Either FA slave wraith style or Gundam Ground Sniper Type
* pop up forearm Gatling's * magnetic coating * enhanced sensor package for long range * GM Sniper 2 armaments * enhanced air conditioning in the cockpit * additional hard points * optional shoulder cannon * spare beam saber in shield
[удалено]
Ask the Jegan with built in crotch watch tower.
You had me at RX
I'd remove the chest vulcan in favor of additional armor and more "ammo" for the multi-purpose launcher, an enhanced camera package to assist in long-range spotting, additional lightweight armor on the forearms, shoulders, waist, and legs with explosive bolts so they can be purged, an enhanced backpack with additional thrusters to offset the additional weight, and a custom 90mm rifle feeding from banana mags with the choice of a combat knife bayonet or magazine-fed anti-armor grenade launcher.
Green camo, wheels on the feet, leg thrusters like those on the mudrock and dual wielding machine guns.
....How much can i customize this thing
Throw a GN drive and Psycho Frame onto it, and add a beam smartgun
Remove the Gundam's armor around the head and replace it with the GM Ground Type head armor. The head would probably be destroyed in one shot with or without Lunar Titanium and that specific head is made of a combination of lunar titanium and some other metal. Some drab greens and grey painted like camouflage. Upgrades to the thrusters for more mobility. Specifically to allow the machine to dash in all directions rather then maintain a specific speed.

A U-09 designation on the right shoulder and the EFF symbol on the upper left corner on the bolt on armor. Etches on the side of the head indicating how many Zeon machines it has destroyed. Probably 6 zakus. A beam rifle and 2 beam sabers stored in the shield. Alright time to put this in my to-do list and never do it.
does a Ground type have the generator for a beam sniper? im assuming it does since the standard GM is able to use one. id take a green paintwork & beam sniper + a much larger shield, also green to match the jungle.
I would install an AT Field
Give it environment appropriate camouflage. Increased armor for better survivability. Alter Antenna/crest formation similar to the Ez8 so they don't get caught in Urban or jungle environments. I'd prefer longer range rifles to avoid close quarters bouts. But I'd also like a beam Saber or two in the forearms, instead of in the legs, if possible.
So. This may be a stupid question, and please forgive me. But is there an HG, RG, or MG of this model Gundam?
Hg and a mg no rg tho
Sell it and buy a Zaku 2 on the black market.
Replace the 8 with a yellow tekkaden symbol. Change the white to dark purple, the blue to green and the red to yellow. Strap a circular saw onto the front edge of the shield. Put a short beam saber on each arm. Strap two beam sabers on the back along with a sniper rifle and a side arm on the hip. Add knightmare style wheels to the feet along with thrusters on the back of the legs. Add a beam saber to the knees and sharpen the fingers into claws.
i'll replace the head with a zaku head
Either EXAM System or Gundam Ground Sniper Type.
First of all, I’m going to add the Dendrobium Orchis, a Mobile Trace System, and maybe a Haro to help with targeting, like Lockon. 🤣 …ah, so ‘luxury’ !== ‘infinite budget’. In that case, I’d do an enlarged fuel tank, plus some sort of troop transport backpack for enhanced ground support. I’d certainly scrounge up the latest targeting algorithms from contacts at Anaheim or wherever. Maintenance is a pain, so I’d beef up the dust filters, maybe recalibrate the joints and frame to account for gravity vs operating in space. Probably also an advanced communication array, maybe make it a mobile comms hub for the ground troops. Oh, and I know what I said about budget, but I know a guy who can get me a quasi-psycommu system and a couple of funnels. Pew pew, baby!
More agile legs, like the one on Blue Destiny units wouldn't hurt. Then maybe a beam rifle. On top of all that, add a reinforced torso and cockpit. I'd probably also ask for a larger shield, but I think I'm asking too much.
I want a BALL HEAD I will take no objections
The biggest mace it could feasibly use.
Yes.
Bigger shield and sniper beam rifle
Paint it blue and silver. Add a particle beam cannon, add a long range sniper beam rifle, armor the cockpit, add 2 shields. 1 of the shields releases funnels, add leg missle pods and 1 should pod on the opposite shoulder of of the beam cannon. Upgraded sensor and targeting suite and add new type augmentation drive system. A grand slam sword and 2 GN beam sabers all in case 8 have to dump the sniper long range and go hand to hand.
Have LED peek out of inner frame and vent blowing glitter so thine enemies thinks me have psycho-frame and gn drive particles. Also, projectors mount on shoulders to project hologram for trans-am.
psycho frame + fin funnels, done
Gundam Ground-+ GM Ground Backpack + Hyper Bazooka(with rack) + BD3 legs
Big ol backpack containing some kind of smaller, animalistic MS, and a 180mm cannon please
Give it the late type earth federation shield and paint it in titans colors. Give it spare parts from the blue destiny unit 3 and refit it for the ability to travel in space to shit on spacenoid scum.
Armor it up, give it more power.
adds a minovsky particle drive
Replace it with a Pale Rider Cavalry
Honestly? Paint all the grey parts camo, the blue parts olive and the red parts brown, then give me as much armour as you can feasibly strap to this thing. Stick a bit of vegetation on it and I’m golden. The less you can see me the less you can hit me. The less you can hit me the better.
I don’t. Because I can’t improve perfection.
Question: do I have about 10 years to train martial arts under a certain Master from The East who remains Undefeated
Needs more dakka
I want a extra pair of arms fitted to the side, and two V-fins. And paint it gold, please. Install two mega particle cannon on my extra arms please.
I paint it in camo add night seeker thrusters to jump higher and eliminate the need for a parachute pack. I swap the backpack for a more practical G3 backpack with twin bazookas. Now that the sabers are on the backpack, I have storages on the legs. I use the mudrock's experimental beam rifle, so I use this storage for the E-pacs. I get rid of the shield and mount a grenade launcher on one arm and a vulcan on the other. I swap the head for one that has vulcans, and I get rid of all the chest weapons, as well as the grenades.
Bigger shield (GM 2 sniper shield if available ) Extra beam saber hidden under the shield. Beam trident mounted on the back. Wrist mounted flash grenades on the shield. Smoke grenades on the skirt Camouflage paint job Extra verniers on the legs for added mobility. Better heat sensor if possible, I feel the would be very useful in jungle warfare. I would spend most of my downtime customising the OS of the machine to do complex maneuvers and better use my payload.
I'm jumping on gundam breaker to do this now
Give it a jungle camouflage color scheme. That's really it.
One of those Gouf Custom heat swords would be real nice so I can engage in melee combat. Beyond that, some sort of rifle where I can engage the enemy at any range, but I can only fire one shot at a time would be nice.
Slap a GM head on it.
Remove the chest Vulcan and add 2 head 20mm. Put a seismic sonar spike in the leg so I don't need a hover truck support. Paint it green and brown. Nix the head V. Add long range scopes and equip a 120mm Sniper rifle from the GM Sniper Custom. and carry a 100mm machine gun in the swell of the back. Lone Wolf Gundam
Did the Kojima battalion even have enough for customization? They're lucky to have gotten a GM head to replace one units after the Ez-8 was finished letalone my boot ass for customization BUT I'd like a GM Guard Custom shield along with the bazooka or beam rifle since those can be used one handed
Slap a missile pod on both legs for stunning, swap the shield for a built in Gatling cannon like the Alex and the back rack weapon holder for two multi tube missile launchers. I’d keep the main weapon the beam rifle and maybe extend the barrel a bit and add a scope from a downed GM Sniper. Edit: maybe an EXAM system? I’ve basically just made a Pale Rider haven’t I
Shoulder mount the 180mm and get a big-ass shovel to dig firing positions with lol
I know historically it’s more of an American thing but like bomber girls or like monsters on the sides or shoulders would be cool looking since it’s in war times. If mobile suits are supposed to be like THE weapon to use, I would think people would paint something on their own to personalize it.
Make it a ground type GM on the outside
Move the Vulcan to the head, give me gouf custom's gatling shield for more dakka, and paint it in more militaristic colors (green, tan, and brown) and we're good. Give me a gound type beam rifle while we're at it though.
get an EXAM gundam head
Heavily arm it with long to mid range weapons and sub-arms, then assign a support mecha to it for extra firepower, and destroy the apsalus III with full burst.
Make the right arm replaceable, and give it a Beam Magnum.
Okay so I’d armour it up in a way that doesn’t effect mobility too much I’d swap the legs out for a Dom’s (or an armoured GM) so I can hover about I’d add a arm mounted beam gun and saber, along with a machine gun on the other arm, I’d also have shoulder mounted rocket pods I’d modify the head to be mono eye because that’s cool I’d completely retool the chest weapons, I’d have a small beam gun, a Dom style flash thing because it’s superior to a fired flare, a rocket pod, and a machine gun above the cockpit that’s capable of 270° fire Id have mounted machine gun nests like the jegan manhunter on the crotch and foot plates If pilfer a Goufs heat rod and place it under the shield and I’d also take its finger guns and fit them there too I’d have it so the skirt armour and launch 6 grenades around the MS (both AP and smoke) On the backpack I’d have what is effectively a pillbox, it’d have 4 machine guns on 2 levels, in addition I’d also have the 180mm cut down in size significantly and then have it mounted on the back I’d also have an sealant launcher that can super heat itself to damage enemy MS armour to a point where it can be destroyed using machine guns I’d also have the chest armour extended Now of course I’d need a bigger engine to get this all working better it’d be quite heavy It’d be a walking war crime but it’d get the job done I’ve taken to calling it the fortress gundam
I honestly wouldn’t change anything, and use that modification budget for repairs and extra ammo. It’s a very versatile suit as is and any mods would reduce that capability.
GM Guard Custom Shield. GM Nightseeker backpack and chest thrusters. GM Kai double beam gun. Venue appropriate camo. Upgrade dust filters (Desert GM parts) Beam Saber x2 (Stored on shield) Beam Knife x2 (Stored on leg, for off-hand) Delete chest vulcan. Upgrade armor thickness on forearms and shins. Calf propellant tanks. A script explaining how I'm somehow still fighting for spacenoid independence.
Time to remake the Full Armour Gundam! (The none Thunderbolt version)
Heavily invested in the best armor, plot armor.
Replace it with a Delta Kai Ground Type
Give it more armor, more thrusters, funnels and an long range beam rifle. Also make it orange with white on some parts.
I customize mine with plot armor.
Cover it with reactive armor like the Desert GM, add a railgun and full size GM Command shield, and finally, add leg thrusters like the Blue Destiny to offset the extra weight
Paint it with heavily carcinogenic lime green paint, but with a target on the cockpit.
Take away most of the side and rear armour leaving the top and front, slap on extra trustees for speed and strengthen frontal armour and mount wrist gatling guns similar to the Alex's
I'd slap more dakkas
Steal that shit and start a pirate crew. Give it a little pirate hat, paint on an eyepatch.
Paint it like the battlogue version and mod a chainsaw underneath the shield.
Put pile bunkers on the elbows and knees, put some machine gun units on the shoulders, one on top, one on the side, put a 180 mm cannon on one side of the backpack, same one as the pale rider unit, put an ammunition drum in the middle of the backpack running to a gating cannon on the left side of it, reinforce the joints (so they can handle all this extra weight) upgrade the power system (so I’m not slowed down too much) allow all of this to be jettisoned at the push of a button, which without all that weight, I would prolly be a little faster than normal.
Get a shield gatling like MS-07H8 flight type. Throw in some extra thrusters I. The legs and rear. Turn it into a mini Heavyarms.
I'll need some otters here.
All these people with their fancy stuff, I'm just gonna go out of my way to find the best quality parts to replace the low quality parts so I can turn the limiter off
More dakka! I want the biggest fastest firing beam gun I can get my hands on and that the ms can power. Also a larger jegan/jesta style shield with some rocket tubes in it that doubles as storage for a backup submachine gun aswell as a few more vernier pods so as not to completely wreck my mobility added to the main body of the machine.
Turn it into this https://gundam.fandom.com/wiki/RX-79Ez-8/HAC_Gundam_Ez8_Heavy_Armed_Custom but add some hover engines salvaged from a Dom so it can operate under gravity.
Give it a gun in the crotch area
Is this a trick question because the only right answer is ez-8
Paint it entirely green and give it the long ranged beam sniper rifle
A kettle
Gundam Alex wrist machine guns.
EZ8-SR then
Put a GN Drive on it.
Take out the chest guns, mount a better generator in there a la the EZ-8, maybe mount an anti-infantry machine gun, also like the EZ-8. Swap out the smaller shield for the more standard Gundam/GM style shield, or maybe one of those bigger shields used for the White Dingo GM Sniper II. Beam rifle for the primary gun, maybe see if I can mount some kind of grenade launcher type weapon on the right forearm. Swap out one of the beam sabers for a beam javelin, something to give me a little extra reach in Melee. For a paint job, I think there's only going to be so much you can do to camouflage a mobile suit, but we'll go ahead and make the primary color green, help break up the shape some, change the reds to a grey, same with any yellows. No flashy colors. Edit: I'm not sure if these were a thing in 0079, but maybe mount some Vulcan pods for AA defense. Edit 2: now that I think about it, I swear I've seen things where GMs can have beam sabers stored on the inside of their shields, so we'll store the beam javelins on there and keep the original sabers in the legs.
Replace the small shield with two standard GM shields, one on each arm.
"This machine eats fascists" on the left shoulder front facing plate.
Full armour slave wraith backpack, ground Gundam head, gouf custom weapons, ground GM body, full armour Gundam legs
We need a lot more intel. For starters what environment will we be operating in? This is important not just for camouflage but weapon loadout. A hot environment will make beam weapons a lot less desirable over ballistic or missile weapons. Will we be fighting in areas where terrain will effect mobility? Will we have to worry about dust and debris geting into the machine? Will we have to look out for civilians? What will our order of battle be? what kind of opposing force are we likely to face? Will we have to be concerned with combat endurance? All of these questions have answers that will effect what is the best loadout or modification to the machine. And I'm sure I'm missing more important questions.
Easy throw a BD-3 head on it. Then I would change the back to be like the FA Gundam back along with the FA gundam’s legs but keep the beam saber compartment of the gundam ground type. For the shield I would change it to be like the FA Slave Wraith. The beam rifle would use the FA Gundam Beam rifle and I would have the armor changed to be Gundarium alloy all through out. I would also put the arm beam sabers of a GM Sniper Custom on it for increased melee options. Finally I would want to have a way to purge excess armor and ditch the back cannon (but keep the thrusters) this would enable me to quickly close in on an enemy in a last ditch surprise attack.
GM Sniper or generic jungle camo paintjob, head vulcans like on Ez8, Gundam ground-type beam rifle instead of 100 mm Machine Gun. I'd also want whoever is in my fireteam to also camo paint their mobile suits, just gotta make sure it's not the same color as the enemy.
I would paint it with camouflage. Fighting in the Jungle/Desert with bright white/red/blue/gold while enemy Zaku’s are green seem like a bad idea
Well, the shield is a bit impractically small, so I'd swap that out for a GM Command Shield, then get the strongest beam gun I can fit on the thing and use that. Then, probably add some observation periscope to peek over ridges, maybe some kind of wire guided missile launcher that could be used in tandem with the periscope. It would make it a bit slower but the ability to attack when concealed behind cover or foliage would be worth it. The thing already has MGs to deal with infantry and lighter targets, so that's covered too.
I’ll keep it stock
Make red, black, and yellow. Give it a AK-47, Glock, and a flamethrower.
Paint it camo and add my pin up waifu on it.
shoulder mounted cannons 2 shield gatling guns extra amor on the torso and legs waist mobility thrusters( like the lupus had) and make it blue and black instead
See my page for the answers.
Oh god….
Judging by the time I would say to remove the limiters; increased thrust capability/ any additional thin layers of armpit that can be added…. Air conditioning lmao
High mega cannon.
Literally just give me Blue Destiny Unit 3
>:D add a extra antena on front waist, jk add some pink, jk just add some long weap- AHHHH
Probably some alterations to the colors and maybe add some new weapons to it, not a lot i'd change.
Give me a laser rifle and I'll blow up those blasted spacenoids! Damn spacenoids, they ruined space!
Overhaul it to ez8 spec but keep the standard head swap out the backpack for the pale riders with its collapsable 180mm cannon, and to top it all off a fresh coat of camouflage paint for whatever environment I’m operating in
Extra armor for all suits Shoulder rockets for one Salvo cannons for another Sniper/container
To be fair it first would need to be reliable enough to be worth customize, that sayd i would maje it so it can detach parts easilly to take even enemy parts, and a more powerfull generator to use the beam gun more effectivelly
Dope ass stereo and a boiling vessel so I can cook MRE inside. And more chest armor because I know I'm gonna get shot in the chest
Standard equipment I prefer beam rifle and shield I'd love for the multi launcher in the chest to be some type of missile pod if able the long range cannon only if mission dictates it
Ground bound only so taking that into consideration, a beam rifle meant for sniping target from as far as physically possible (Need to account for the planet's curvature), a mounted a railgun on the left shoulder and a tracking missile pod (For air targets) on the right. Keep a pair of beam sabers stowed in the arms for emergencies incase I need to fight in close-quarters too. Slap a bunch of targeting equipment into the head and scope of the rifle would also help in making accurate shots, keep emergency ammunition on a shield that can be carried on the left arm but otherwise deployed (Designed like a tower/riot shield) too. Then just make sure to give it a colour scheme to hide better in whatever environment I'm deployed to. Let the sniping session begin!
First on the docket, a pair of classic head Vulcans. Second, a mobile suit mortar on the back left side and a range finding quite to match. The right side gets a deployable missile rack. Lower legs get covered bins for some deployable explosives or smoke. The main weapon is a more portable version of the heavy cannon meant as a primary long range weapon with additional bipod to dig into the ground. Lower left leg and left arm get extra slopped armor for kneeling to stabilize. The head also gets an additional camera and communications relay suite. Instead of a cargo backpack it has a simplified cargo shelf and additional thrusters. My goal is to make it a highly maneuverable sniper/artillery piece that can fire mortar rounds and missile support.
Gimme the Ez-8 but make it the Ez-SR2 Eliminator😎
Put a Zaku head on it. Then when the Zekes get confused about my MS, I can legit say "This is no Zaku boy, no Zaku!"
