2heroic.

Did ya'all forget that the Blitz is literally *teleports behind you, unsheathes katana* kind of unit? Only hurdle is that its pilot's personality is the complete opposite.

OG colors is about as close to low-observability as a designer can get away with in the toyline. Shit, it even gets actual katanas in its factory production version.

The color scheme for that one is even worse than the original by miles, though.
>>
>>14056679
This is a greyish matte black and a dark subdued red.
It's different from the unpleasant glossy black and bright red the Blitz has.

>>14056681
It would be better with G3-like colours, dark grey and desaturated blue.

>>14056679
Most of the time Big O comes off as more blue or purple due to how it reflects light

You mean shit tier pilot, right?

Blitz itself was cool. Well, aside from shit stock wepons.

Black and red is one of the most aesthetically pleasing color duos. Of course it's seen as edgy but that doesn't change the facts.

Agreed.

Black was sexy as fuck, but suddenly FUKKEN ULTRAMARINE?

Purple/blue if fine, sexy even when done right.

It's the blended bits on the funnels that get me. It looks so out of place on a gundam which you would normally think of as a solid primary colours type of machine.

When there's missiles or beam cannons, that tiny shield ain't worth it. Effective for close range, but that should be the last resort in a mobile suit.
