the gundam show was believed to be a failure. So when the show hit big time, the big dogs decided that the good guy design had to be toy friendly so that they can made toys. So what about the ZEON? nobody care about it so the creator has freedom and he designed them like a giant robot that is a tool for war. Like the eye, why would a robot need eyes? they need a good camera and that is why the ZEON mobile suit has mooneyes. if you look at the good guy gundam, their eyes are not the camera, it the thing on top of the head.
yeah I remember hearing that in a gundam documentary, the lead gundam mech designer Kunio Okawara was told very specific things when making the federation MS but when it came to zeon the only major thing he was told was give them a mono-eye so he had a lot of creative freedom there. they did this beacuse they thought no one would want toys of the bad guys
@@slothcakes i have model kits of Rx72 and the Zaku, the grand dady look so boring that I only buy Zeon from now on. Hg Acguy and hg Gogg are on their way and the next model will be MG Acguy
Damn totally forgot how much of a "tacticool" porno thunderbolt was. Loved seeing the acguys kicking ass. But l always felt like all the different specialized units were simply normal suits modified by the zeon remnants, that would kinda explain them using zaku weaponry and scrapped armour for shields. Neo zeon ramshackling stuff wouldn't really be a new thing.
10:17 as far as I know, the Thunderbolt ver is smaller than the standard one. It stands around 12 m. The change of proportion makes them looked taller.
@@slothcakes I just remembered you need to pay more attention to the Thunderbolt Manga for the Acguy because it has has a giant Gatling gun featured quite prominently.
I really appreciate getting to see the various art work associated with the mech. Mentioning if (and which) model kits exists might be a nice addition. I'm a fan of the bulkier mechs (for example the Gelgoog and the sweet looking Gushion) and I suspect I'm not alone in that regard. Maybe a video on bulky designs would be cool. Thanks for the video.
glad you enjoyed it am also a fan of thicker bulkier looking MS and thankful;y most amphibious ms are that also the gunpla idea is not a bad idea never thought bout it but sounds intresting
I love the designs of Acguy in thunderbolt much more cooler and badass that the classic designs was hoping more mobile suits of one year war re imagine in the next thunderbolt series
If you bury an acguy up to it's neck you're probably going to mistake it for a giant landmine or a bunker, actually I think an acguy head could act like a bunker with its head vulcans or 6 tube head missile launcher, like a low budget zock .
I had no idea that the Vulcans on Mobile Suits shot rounds upwards of 60mm that fast. That could easily shred infantry targets if they put explosive rounds in there. Like imagine you are trying to hide in a house from the enemy mobile suits and it shoots 105mm HE Rounds into the house one over from you? That firepower is terrifying.
I was so looking forward to the thunderbolt HGUC kits but bandai never made it sigh -_- Hey! I like the OG bear guy, so did my girl friend when i got her both versions.
To this day I still hope for hg acguy thunderbolt kits I like the redesign but since we don't have a mg of the atlas I doubt we will get anything Bearguy is great doe amazing gateway drug for gunpla good choice 👌
10:25 It’s worth noting that despite appearing taller due to its slimmer design the Acguy TB ver is actually stated to be significantly shorter than the standard Acguy at 12m compared to the standard 19m in official sources.
In FvsZ we called him the 'ugly' this things are deceptively annoying stubby ankle bitters who could deliver a surprising good fight with a strategically well times cannon shot that could deliver a wallop and CqC was nothing to snub at either, with it's extra range. As ugly as it first look the design certainly grows on you over time. I am glade Thunderbolt managed to do justice to it by making them look good.
@@slothcakes thank you! That game looks nuts seem i dont have a pc strong enough to run the at home version. Ive been running the acguy a lot in gbo2 recently. When i first started i played the agguguy a ton and i love it but now going back to it against a rank players i need to relearn how to play it completely. I think the acguy is a bit underrated. Especially with level 3 stealth at 350 cost. You have to master its play style a bit with having to stand still for the particle gun and rockets but being able to one shot stun 2 shots in a row with a relatively short overheat and head vulcans that stun fairly quick and can be fired while boosting gives you a lot of tactical options and the ability to put out lots of stuns. And it you get in trouble boosting away while firing the vulcans witn their 300m range can usually get an enemy off you.
Did you really make a video about the acguy and not in a single moment mentioned MSM-04-1 Prototype Acguy or Mobile Suit Acguy - MSM 04, the manga about the whole development of the Acguy but STILL mentions two other works by the same author which it wasn't that important? And this isn't even me saying: oh no, there isn't a mention to Iron Acguy, a parody manga about a fusion of Iron Man and Acguy...
Aggai Hakase is not tranlated nor could i find raws of it but good point i should of mention the proto-type at least somewhere ill make sure to do that in the future, thank you for the comment
So apparently there's a short manga that's similar to the ultra man manga but it's a acguy power suit never knew that existed I can't even find raws of it

@@slothcakes fuck yeah man. Just look at the inner frame of the mg acguy make me excited man. It's like enginer wet dream :))))
@@slothcakes That's a big error, because I really want toys of the amphibous (specially Z'goks, they're the coolest of the bunch)
Acguy is a mech sea goomba with arms
U wot mate
@@acguy907 hi acguy! :)

I wish there would be an HG for the Acguy Gundam thunderbolt version.
Same I wish bandai made more TB model kits in general
10:17 as far as I know, the Thunderbolt ver is smaller than the standard one. It stands around 12 m. The change of proportion makes them looked taller.
makes sense, seeing them taller than other MS and being more lanky they look bigger than they are thank you
@@slothcakes yeah not as tall as char red ones
I always thought of the Thunderbolt version as a Universal United Maintenance Plan model, like the Z'Gok-E.
Great way to look at it, love all the attachments TB acguys are shown to have feels like there amphibious zakus
@@slothcakes they upgrade it so much , this lil guy is a spec ops recon MS from the core ( just look at daryls MS setup)
I just finished building my Acguy and found these videos to build all my amphibious suits!!!! ABSOLUTELY LOVE THESE VIDEOS!!!!
The Thunderbolt Acguy is so COOL.
its my favorite thunderbolt redesign it just looks so clean
@@slothcakes Yes they did a really good job on the Amphibians. And the EFF FINALLY got decent Amphibious MS which they never had until now.
@@JeanLucCaptain yeah more GM varients besides the aqua gm gives a better impression that the EFF at least tried to make amphibious MS to fight back
@@slothcakes I just remembered you need to pay more attention to the Thunderbolt Manga for the Acguy because it has has a giant Gatling gun featured quite prominently.
@@JeanLucCaptain yeah i missed out on the hand vulcans and massive gatling gun which is a damn shame since its so god damn cool
I freaking love your commentary it’s really fun to listen to
Thank you glad you enjoyed!
Oh yeah it’s so good energy

The 08th ms team acguy took out a gundam
I love this video series

damaged MS used as gun platforms sounds like a awesome idea
they never got a dessert cammo, too bad

Hek this is the fav MS of my 6yo daugther
fun fact, in the thunderbolt manga there’s a acguy using a gatling gun
Congratulations , i love The video!!

Bearguy is great doe amazing gateway drug for gunpla good choice 👌
@@slothcakes can you imagine the excessories it going to come with? Oh, HGUC fans would go crazy over that. Haha.
Thunderbolt Acguy and Orgin Acguy body style looks similar don't you think 💬🤔.
FOUR 105 MM VULCANS?!? That’s like 4 FZ zaku machine guns
10:25 It’s worth noting that despite appearing taller due to its slimmer design the Acguy TB ver is actually stated to be significantly shorter than the standard Acguy at 12m compared to the standard 19m in official sources.
Is it wired that im watching an analysis of myself?
lol great comment, hope you find the biography accurate and thanks for your service

why this dude sound like homestar runner
Ache-guy or Ack-guy? Also thunderbolt and origin ova is considered alt. canon. not original canon but alternate canon.
Fun fact the Acguy from Gundam Katana is the same one from 2250 Miles Across North American.
It looks likes a terminator built a teddy bear
They're Saibamen
Who is that bottom right zaku near the end? 14:19.
That's the Zaku flipper it's a varient of the Zaku recon
Personally still a bigger fan of the og design. It's a lot more focused, less busy, and just has a more recognizable silhouette. Less is more.
Seafood 🦞
Why is he talking in uwu
What game was shown at the end in the outro with all the amphibious suits?
Gundam extreme versus full boost
@@slothcakes thank you! That game looks nuts seem i dont have a pc strong enough to run the at home version.
