Tch, you're pretty good. But once I've memorized your attack pattern, we're making out sloppy style

Cockpit Gimmicks

I love a good control system for mecha and wanted to share some of my favorite control gimmicks I have seen so far in gundam. NTD: FUCK Conventional control systems, harness the power of space autism.

I love the gimmick of psycho frames. Like who cares if your mecha swallows your mindsoul look at the RBG colors.

Alaya-vijnana: Spine friends. Also, don't worry the thing you're now attached to is totally not a demon. Trust us.

Plug that shit into my veins, real cool how you can just have an open-back USB port to your mecha. What is cooler than being spinel friends with a massive metal war Machine? Why is my nose bleeding?

Mobile Trace System: The patient zero for a lot of anime fans growing up to develop a latex fetish.

I love the over-the-top nature of G-gundam and having a gimp-suit-Kinect-controller for your Wrestle robot adds so much charm to the show. Also Domom and Rain are the only ones who seem to struggle with putting in on (minus the horse). I think they're into it…

Also, shout out to the Zero System from wing. Got to midmax the ptsd of your child soldiers as much as possible. Tell me some of your favorites. From Gundam or otherwise would love to hear it.

Fear not, everyone, I am here today with an exhaustive* spotter's guide to that bunch of masked lunatics we like to refer to as 'Char clones' in the Gundam fandom. Because people are always getting into this monolith of the mecha anime canon and I thought it would save some confusion.

Row 1, left to right:

Char Aznable (Mobile Suit Gundam, 1979): hey, it's that guy!

Quattro Bajeena (Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, 1985): it's that guy, again, supposedly

Free space (Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ, 1986): ZZ omits masked lunatics to make room for all the unmasked lunatics

Iron Mask (Mobile Suit Gundam F91, 1991): evil uncle stepfather dad cut-price Darth Vader

Cronicle Asher (Mobile Suit Victory Gundam, 1993): some guy who is not really trying with this whole 'mysterious masked man' thing

Schwarz Bruder (Mobile Fighter G Gundam, 1994): just your average German ninja sportsman guy (honest)

Row 2, left to right:

Zechs Merquise (New Mobile Report Gundam Wing, 1995): a totally new guy with very familiar fashion-sense

Jamil Neate (After War Gundam X, 1996): ersatz guy, but not the one you think

Harry Ord (Turn A Gundam, 1999): what a guy!

Rau Le Cruset (Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, 2002): not that guy

Neo Roanoke (Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny, 2004): also not that guy, or that guy

Graham Aker (Mobile Suit Gundam 00, 2007): This guy...

Row 3, left to right:

Full Frontal (behave yourselves; Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn, 2010): not that guy either, probably, maybe, perhaps

Zeheart Galette (Mobile Suit Gundam AGE, 2011): a guy named after baked goods

Luin Lee (Gundam Reconguista in G, 2014): 'Captain Mask'

McGillis Fareed (Mobile Suit Gundam IRON-BLOODED ORPHANS, 2015): a guy who is way too into this

Vidar (Mobile Suit Gundam IRON-BLOODED ORPHANS, 2016): say, Iron-Blooded Orphans, how come mom lets you have two guys in masks?

Prospera Mercury (Mobile Suit Gundam the Witch from Mercury, 2022): mom

*Mainline series, at time of writing
