Always loved how these things could kick the ass of anything not a gundam, especially when they all they did was stand still, take hits and blast the shit out of every thing else, shame there was never an official kit.

She is so goddamn elegant. Who needs bulky assault rifles and shields when you've got all of your gear neatly built-in? The funnels and cunning vixen of a pilot are also major factors.

The pauldron binders ARE used as shields/armor, right? I actually don't remember if the Qubeley and its offshoots ever used them to block a shot...

We only had Wing (until SEED) in Canada unless your parents were loaded and could afford a satellite dish.

I eventually gravitated to Heavyarms though.

Speaking of Wing suits, I used to think these were the coolest shit. Nongundams made to be better than the Gundams, the Vayeate's cannon was kinda meh but I liked its firepower and the Mercurius' planet defenders and shield with a huge beam blade seemed strange and cool. Too bad they had so little screentime and jobbed to the Wing Zero and Deathscythe Hell pretty badly, but I still dig em and don't see much love for them.
>>
>>13569458
THERE WAS AN ACTION FIGURE!?

I WANT IT!
>>
>>13571031
I'm sure any of the other Gundams, bar Epyon, would job to Wing Zero in the TV series anyways.
>>
>>13571046
Well yeah but they were introduced and hyped only to be fed to the Wing Zero piloted by fuggin Quatre and then they were turned into Mobile Dolls and destroyed by Deathscythe Hell in like 2 minutes flat. It's just a whole lotta jobbin for the dynamic duo.
>>
>>13571434
There was that one time Quatre used the Mercurius to kick the ass of Heero, who are going loopy on the Zero system. So the Mercurius had one moment of glory where it beat the Wing Zero.
>>
>>13571434
>>13571450
I thought they had a pretty decent showing. They lost against what would be considered the strongest MS in universe. The mobile doll system couldn't compare to the operation meteor pilots anyways.
>>
>>13569965
Beam Saber, and I believe that it has a beam pistol type thingy built into the hands. Might be on the MkII
>>
>>13573034
Its beam sabers were stored under its wrists and could also be used as beam guns while stored. It had the original beam tonfas.
>>
>>13569582


You know how fucking hard it is to find those RDs for a good price on Manadrake? Wing Zero is the only cheap one

If you think having beams stored in your forearms are anything like tonfa, I recommend death. The difference between the two are staggering even before we get to how they're used in combat.

>born and raised in South Korean until I was 8
I had no idea what was going on but when unit 00, 01 and 02 started to run ....
Jesus chirst I thought the Evas was the coolest things ever. Started making paper robots of them, lego models based off them and hated lego for not making purple pieces
>and this was after watching almost all the brave series that aired in korea including gaogaigar
I had such an little boy hardon for the evas for YEARS because I didn't exactly know what they were and I never watched all of the series until I had access to the internet.
>>
>>13573327
I think they just named it that because the shape reminded someone of a tonfa somehow.
Wouldn't be the first strange naming for a weapon, I've seen the Gelgoog's double beam saber sometimes called a beam naginta, even though it's barely a spear type weapon.
