Top 10 'I want an MG of that MS!' list

Like everyone does nowadays, thanks to the internet - an own 'top____' list.
If you don't like Top 10 lists, you can skip the post, if you're interested what MG kits I'd like to see, and why, feel free to continue reading.

The only 2 rules for my list:
  1. There must not be any previous MG kit ('ver 1.0' - 'ver. Ka')
  2. I must be willing to pre-order the kit, disregards of the price it will have

10 - Zaku Tank

Let's get started - with a Zaku! The Zaku Tank is an interesting MS/MA, since it is, similar to the GunTank, basically no suit. The Zaku Tank is a modified Zaku Torso mounted onto a Magella Attack Tank. It showcases how zeon desperatly to maintain their MS forces although there's a lack in supply.
With the Guntank, Bandai showed us that they are able to have workable, easy to assemble and paint, tracks, so why not a Zaku Tank?

9 - MP GunCannon

I don't like prototype suits that much (altough there are exceptions), on the other hand, the Mass Production GunCannon looks so much better than the Prototype GunCannon.



8 - Gouf Flight Type (08th MS Team ver.)

It's a Gouf! And it can fly! what else do you want?

7 - Tieren HiMo B

The Tieren is the Zaku of the Gundam 00 Timeline (or Anno Domini), as well as a simple bi-pedal tank. I find the regular Tieren almost to be realistic - It's large, slow, and the regular weapon is mounted onto the arm, so that the Tieren technically doesn't need a Manipulator.
The High Mobility B Tieren on the other hand is, to put it simple, the AD Landtype Dom.

6 - PsyCommu Zaku

Again a Zaku! The Zaku is THE all-round suit in the UC Timeline - no wonder that zeon developed a NewType use 'PsyCommu' Zaku. The 'High Mobility PsyCommu Zaku' features thrusters instead of legs, and 'beam fingers' instead of regular manipulators - it's kinda like a Small version of the Zeong! As a Zaku-Fan, I gotta get him!



5 - RX-78-7 '7th Gundam'

Last year, Bandai-Namco released a new PS3 Gundam Game, called Mobile Suit Gundam Battle Records 0081 (機動戦士ガンダム戦記0081). The Story mode featured varies MSV suits, redesigned by Hajime Katoki. (The Original 7th Gundam).
What I like about the 7th Gundam (ver. Ka) is, that this is somewhat a redesign of the original RX-78-2, as well as the 7th Gundam. It's both: detailed and clean.

4 - O Gundam (gray)

Similar reason like the 7th Gundam - an redesign of the RX-78-2, and interesting design features, like the GN-Condensers on the chest,... overall a mix of the RX-78-2 and RX-79(G)

3 - RX-81 ST + option parts

Is it a Gundam? Is it a GM? NO! It's a G-Line!
Like the RX-78-7, it's a redesign by Hajime Katoki of the original RX-81 ST.
Like with the RX-78-7, Hajime Katoki managed to reduce the complexity of the suit, in order to achieve a much cleaner design, but still with plenty of detail.
I don't kow If you can Call the RX-81 a Gundam (probably not, due no V-Fin) or a GM (probably not, since not massproduced), but I stick with the term G-Line, used in Gundam Senki 0081.
What I like about the RX-81 line, is that they can easily be equipped with whatever equipment necessary for the Operation, and what I like about the Standart Armor (ST) type are it's shoulder armor and it's bulkyness.
'Option Parts?' - The RX-81 can be equipped with twin Missle Launcher, twin Gatling, Cannon, or without anything. As far as I know, those parts might be able to be swapped by changing the BackPack.

2 - Efreet Nacht

Zeon Suit Again!
The Efreet Nacht appeared, like Nr 5 and 3, in Gundam Senki 0081 and it was, surprise!, no pure redesign. Instead, it's a Variation of the original Efreet, which appeared in... well,... did it appear anywhere? At least according to MAHQ, the original efreet appeard nowhere. Well, but an Efreet Kai appeard in Blue-Destiny. The Efreet Nacht (Nacht is German for Night) is somewhat a Ninja MS - it uses electrical charged Kunai to stun the enemy suit, slice it with it's Katana shaped Heat Sword, and, if necessary, shoots the enemy with a wrist mounted vulcan.
Besides that, the Design is just awesome!

1 - Geara Doga

Somewhat the Zaku during Char's Counterattack - I just love the design.

do want! do want! do want! do want! do want! do want! do want! do want! do want! do want! do want! do want! do want! do want! do want! do want! do want! do want! do want! do want! do want! do want! do want! do want! do want! do want! do want! do want! do want! do want! do want! do want! do want! do want! do want! do want! do want! do want! do want! do want! do want! do want! do want! do want! do want! do want! do want! do want! do want! do want! do want! do want! do want! do want!

Glad to see someone who's still into the UC timeline.. Most people who's into plamos nowadays are crazy over the Seed MSs. D:
