It’s like Getter Robo minus the lameness. I would have voted for more Valkyries, but the 10 robot limit (and personal Super bias) cut them out. The GP-03 remains among my all time favourite Gundams. MOAR LIKE GUNDAM MECHA, AMIRITE? In all seriousness though, good selection. Lots of weapons = bulk, and the GP03 is a great example of how it’d look like.īeing my favorite mecha in all of Gundam, I’m bringing it back from last year’s nominations. In my mind it has a delightfully diverse weapons payload that isn’t magically streamlined into the mobile suit’s silhouette. The whole set up is a flower of death that spreads ruin among Zeon. GP03 DendrobiumĪnother monster from Gundam, the GP03 Dendrobium Orchis is a mobile armor set-up that is “carried” by the GP03 Dendrobium Stamen. There is no other unit that brought entertainment levels from melee combat as much as the Delphine with Rygart Arrow. This unit brought with it a unique value proposition: unskilled pilot with low power levels in an ancient robot with massive speed and physical capacity, armed by the imagination of the mad scientist queen who likes unconventional weapons as much as she dislikes clothing. It’s big, very big, can control fleets by remote, sings Aimo, teleports, and can stop time FOR THE SAKE OF LOVE AND THE RESOLUTION OF LOVE TRIANGELS SET AGAINST THE BACKDROP OF GREAT BATTLES. It’s a monster capital ship class giant robot that fired devastating Macross Cannon fire onto NUNS/SMS fleets. Piloted by Princess Alto Saotome, it effectively was a 0ne-unit siege assault weapon against an entire planetary defense fleet of Vajra, as well as the super robot kaiju monstrosity that was the Battle Frontier Vajra Queen mod. Sure, Sheryl & Ranka may be the metaphorical wings of farewell, but the Durendal is the actual swept forward wings of sayonara to all you enemies. If you’re not watching the ongoing show, you’re missing out on something incredible. You have variable parts in your real robot shows, but here you have variable pilots, and combinations. Without further ado, here are my nominations: Well, since this tournament is all about making sure MY favorite robot wins, an asteroid on all your planets, a colony drop on all your hangars and manufacturing plants. As I mentioned last year, I spend most of the time nursing and coddling the poor, neglected, and oppressed mecha fans, whom the anime industry chooses to ignore year after year as if robot shows are never made anymore. You’re going to notice that I’m far less polite in the discourse of what’s the most awesome robot.
