I'm fairly interested in the opinions of the other lads out there - so let's get rolling.
Firstly , the pilot comparison.
Casval Rem Deikun :
- Known as the Red Comet for destroying five Earth Federation battleships with his red-painted Zaku II
- Rival of Amuro Ray , whom he lost to as Amuro started developing powerful Newtype abilities
- As seen throughout the series , Char himself is not a particularly powerful Newtype but is an extremely skilled
pilot
- Is able to pilot a Mobile Armor with Auto-Pilot off - showing that he is capable of handling a large array of controls
in a Suit.
- Survived an onslaught from Haman and Scirocco with an unfinished Mobile Suit
Full Frontal :
- Known as the "Second Coming of the Red Comet"
- Is a Cyber-Newtype clone of the notorious Red Comet
- Bears combat capabilities which is similar to Char's but had failed to accomplish similar feats
- Is capable of achieving the notorious "3x faster" feat
- Barely managed to gain a footing over Banagher despite the fact that he had only started piloting a Gundam
recently
Now to the suit comparisons!
Sazabi :
- Equipped with multiple beam sabers
- Equipped with a Mega Particule Gun which is built into it's waist area - capable of firing a wide-spread shot
- Equipped with a Shotrifle which acts as both a Beam Rifle and a shotgun.
- Equipped with a Beam Tomahawk which is stored under the shield - capable of forming an axe-like shape or a large beam
saber
- Equipped with missile launchers stored under the shield to damage Mobile Suits.
- Equipped with six Funnels
- Equipped with... well , a shield!
- Optionally equipped with Propellant Tanks for lengthier battles - can be ejected.
- Bears an in-built Psycoframe which allows Char to use the Mobile Suit with ease , as well as the Psycommu for the
Funnels
- Cockpit is built into the head of the suit which also serves as an escape pod
- Is somewhat bulky compared to Char's previous choices of suits ( If you exclude Zero the R and the Zeong
)
Sinanju :
- The modified version of Sinanju Stein - which was developed from both the Nu Gundam and the Sazabi
- Equipped with Vulcans
- Equipped with a Beam Axe which is stored under the Shield.
- Beam Axe could be taken out and used as a Naginata. Seems to be a reminder of the Gelgoog.
- Equipped with Grenade Launchers.
- Equipped with a Bazooka
- Equipped with a Beam Rifle which can be used to fire a long stream of beam or just a singular shot of beam.
- Bears
- Equipped with multiple beam sabers
- Equipped with Propellant Tanks - can be ejected.
- Equipped with a Shield
- It also comes with an in-built Psycoframe cockpit.
- Is faster and slimmer compared to the Sazabi
On to the next team!
Amuro Ray :
- Well-known for his accomplishments in the One Year War for turning the tide on Zeon
- Zeon widely refers to him as the "White Devil" ( Though he is also known as the White Unicorn and White
Shooting Star )
- His combat data was later built into GMs - causing foes to struggle against the upgraded grunts as shown in
Char's Deleted Affair
- Shown to defeat grunts with ease despite the fact that his using an inferior suit compared to the Gundam
- Displayed powerful Newtype abilities
- Rival of the Red Comet - whom he defeats after realizing his Newtype potential
- Is well-learned in the field of engineering and similar sciences.
Banagher Links :
- A technical student whom seems to understand a fair bit of Mobile Suits
- Starts to develop powerful Newtype abilities in the OVA
- Seems to bear great Newtype potential as he managed to handle the Unicorn's acceleration and other veteran pilots
in the field.
- Displayed Newtype powers similar to Amuro's
- Fairly reliant on the NT-D
- Seems to bear a heavy resemblance to Amuro in several ways
Nu Gundam :
- Developed based on previous Gundam data and specifications.
- Equipped with Vulcans
- Equipped with a Beam Rifle which features a high firing rate
- Equipped with a Hyper Bazooka which can be fired directly from it's back
- Equipped with Fin Funnels which features it's own generators
- Fin Funnels are capable of deploying a Beam Shield which could prevent beam and solid rounds from piercing through
- Equipped with Dummy Launchers - allowing it to deploy explosive balloons as decoys
- Equipped with a standard Beam Saber and a large Beam Saber
- Equipped with a Shield
- Have an in-built Psycoframe Cockpit
- Is - surprisingly enough - an incomplete suit
Unicorn Gundam :
- Is developed from the combat data of Sinanju Stein and is the successor of both the Sazabi and the Nu Gundam
- Equipped with Vulcans
- Equipped with Beam Vulcans
- Equipped with a Shield
- Equipped with four beam sabers - two in the backpack and two are used in NT-D mode.
- Optionally equipped with a Hyper Bazooka which explodes prior to impact - scattering the foe with laser beams
- Equipped with a Beam Gatling Gun built under the Shield
- Equipped with a Shield which bears an I-Field Generator - which allows it to negate beam attacks
- Equipped with a Beam Magnum - a fairly inaccurate , slow but immensely powerful gun which runs on limited ammo
- Is the Key to the La+ Box ( Though that doesn't really matter combat-wise )
- Bears the NT-D System which is used to combat Newtype pilots - it is activated under stressful circumstances or when
encountering a Newtype
- NT-D automatically shuts down within five minutes or will shut down when the pilot is in no fit condition to use it
- NT-D drastically improves the suit's capabilities and movement speed
- It can use "Psycommu Jack" in NT-D Mode - allowing Unicorn to control any Psycommu weapon the enemy is
currently using
