Can we have a thread about shields? What's your favorite?
Only good shield is no shield.
How does the shield end up on the back during transformation?
Ridiculous shield or bust

Like Zeta Gundam's rifle but before transforming, the rifle and shield is connected when it throws it up.
>>12464670
The shield and gun are thrown into the air and land on the body.
Striker Shield, hands down.
Silver Bullet's shield is pretty sweet too, I think.
Pretty partial to the Armed Armor DE, myself.
>>12464642
I like 00's Rod Shields. Completely silly, but pretty cool.
>>12464667
I like the gouf custom shield a lot, though i don't like how the model makes the gatling stick out too far.
The one in the actual OVA was better but I understand the limitations of hard plastic.
Jegan shields are cool
I also like the small pronged shields that the ez8 and sandrock use. >>12465119
That's actually a nice twist on the small shield with prongs I was talking about
Seed Destiny may have sucked but their shields were pretty good too.
BLitz had a cool shield, but having all its weapons on the inside of the shield is kinda a flaw.

It was supposed to be a javelineer
Shields are oldfashioned.
I fields bitch!
My *least* favorite shield has to be the deployable ones from the wing universe, because it meant that even grunt-versus-grunt battles were one-sided plotarmor stomps unless the shielded dolls just forgot to deploy them at all.
>>12465180
Yes but it had to expose itself to fire and the off-hand was busy doing a whole lot of nothing most of the time, hell even its beamsword was usually used as a bayonet for the shield-gun.
We all know what the biggest shields in the average gundam show were however.
Nothing was quite as much of a bullet/beam sponge as these things.
Fucking Thunderbolt

>Shields are old fashioned
>posts a MS that's literally covered in shields
The kind that spin like a critical attack in Fire Emblem
i really like G-self shield
it's like souped up version of Strike's or any typical gundam red shield
it also has many abilities like absorb beam and vulcan guns and shoot mnovsky particles to jam opponent up
>>12465208
>If it's stupid and it works, it aint stupid.
Though seriously, for something that cobbled together that's actually a pretty good idea. Granted shields in UC vary from tissue paper to gundarium stronk depending on who's piloting and how interesting they want the fight to be.

Copy-Paste Shield is some shit
PANZERSCHILD
>>12465169
Like I said Seed Destiny may have sucked but these shields (And the rest of the suit when they didn't draw it super lazy) were bretty gud.
I don't really like round shields looks wise but the Gyan shield is pretty solid ability wise.
Hi-Nu or Alex's.
I like the long design, but probably also that they have custom markings.
Though the Zeta's is really unappealing to me for some reason.
It's a shame I can't find any good pics, the assault-busters shield was awesome.
Le Cygne's snazzy looking tower shield.
>>12465208
The hover fan Gouf? Yea that's retarded alright.
No divider love? I'm disappointed anons.
>>12467652
Best shield in Gundam.

Guys pls.

>>12467652
It's a shield, a powerful beam cannon, AND it adds a few thrusters/verniers. Where does it go wrong? Absolutely nowhere. Best shield in gundam is right. I was really upset how it got very little screen time in X.
>>12469235
Eh... doesn't all that other stuff make it kind of dangerous to use it as a shield? If it's broken the Divider is basically crippled.
Oh, well, I wish the DX got the Divider shield as equipment in SRW though, since he uses it against the Rasveyt.
>>12469289
Well it is an alternative setup for the X in some SRW games. Z for instance.
>>12469301
I mean the Double X, not the X/XDivider. Garrod is given the divider shield for a bit while fighting against the Rasveyt. IIRC, he even uses the boosters.
>>12469312
>Double X Divider
... I need pics
>>12469215
Surprise, people don't like old and busted useless shields.
>>12467652
I was going to post this and the original Gundam X's Shield Buster Rifle. Mah nigra.MG X Divider when

Woah space technology is magical
>>12469473
no shit
all Heero need is to pull one lever and there, robot to bird action and back
>>12467652
I don't really get the love for it. I think it's fugly.
Pure sex
>>12469658
same here, looks like it's come from older super robot show
>>12467560
Gyan Custom has my favorite shield from the Gyan family. Has more of a star shape, but retains that buckler style in the center.
Best defence is attack.
