MSV-R says they get put into storage, but that's only semi-canon at best

seems odd that the guy was only able to secure one that dates back to the OYW, but maybe that's just the limit of his influence or something

It'd be cool if some rich fuckers put there were buying up old grunt suits and pitting them against each other in giant robot boxing matches.

To millitary museums. That or sold to hobbyists.
The Titans old hizacks were painted over, disarmed, and sold as sports mobile suits.

The Ground types were likely decommissioned due to being inferior to the standard GM

The Zeta the MK II and the Hyaku Shiki were confirmed to be placed in storage Amuro in the CCA Novel actually requested he be let use the the Zeta but the highers ups said no

The Unicorn if I recall was sealed in the Megelanica maybe the Banshee as well

SNRI likely recovered the F91 to continue testing for the limited production series but SRW Alpha 2 (More of a endorsed fanfiction so take it with a grain of Salt) says Seabook used the F91 as Kincaid until he could get the F97 that would become the Crossbone X1

Usso and Marbet keep the V1 and V2 in storage just in case

Mark Curran and Reed Fox likely kept using their respective G-Saviors

Now as for the AU's (And Turn A and Reco)
G Gundam likely had them stored but Domon gave God Gundam to his student Yugo

Wing blew all theirs up until Frozen tear drop and built new ones dont know their fate though

The Freeden crew likely kept their respective gundams but the DX likely remains Trashed

The S.Freedom I.Justice Akatsuki and all of Terminals shit was likely kept under maintenance for the new world order The special additions imply they will rebuild the Destiny and the Impulse

CB Stores everything for later modifications and potential use

The AGE-1 was put in a museum the same can likely be said of the 2 and FX

Tekkadan will likely still be using Barbatos and Gusion unless somehow Gaelio is alive then either Tekkadan or Gjallarhorn recovered the Kimaris

The Crescent ship crew likely recovered and stored away the G-Self with the Lucifer and the Arcane

Turn-A and Turn-X cocooned each other

Judau and the ZZ fucked off to Jupiter until a Victory gundam side story saw the ZZ get blown up

wonder what would have happened if Amuro used the Zeta instead of the ReGZ during CCA?(and it seems weird that they'd deny Amuro the usage of the Zeta, at least from a Watsonian perspective, obviously from a Doylist one it's so he doesn't just slaughter most of Char's Neo-Zeon by himself)

Federation always fear NT (and Amuro), especially they saw what happened with Zeta vs The-O in the hands of Kamille.

So they rather give Amuro a conventional MS (Re-Gz) that spec wise, is superior but without all the NT gimmicks.
>>
>>14068607
Re-GZ is inferior to the Zeta. it has less firepower and is slower.
>>
>>14068610
It has more firepower due to its better reactor and is nore durable because it doesnt transform

This image from the BD cover always reminded me of Indiana Jones. Loran and Sochie's stance, the focus on aviation, and the Turn A half-encrusted.

I think there could be a good Stargazer-style OVA, just thirty minutes or so, about some other town on the other side of North America, where we see someone else communicating with the Moonrace via radio, excavating Mountain Cycles, and then Gym's forces invade, and this town needs to protect itself while the Inglessa-Luzianna-Dianna alliance is far, far away.
>>
>>14068590
Thats one of two major Amuro based questions I have always had.
One being what if he did actually get the ALEX and the other being of course how much better would he have done if he has the Zeta instead of the Re-GZ.
I doubt it would have bought enough time for them to finish the Nu but I think with it he could have at least stopped Luna II from falling.

think about it, some luna titanium for cockpit protection, lesson learned from EZ8 antenna, Beam RIFLE capable generator, added shield, litterarly they have mass produced something fit for aces to use and capable of achieving the same performance as the RX-78-2, damn spooky for me if im a zeek

Knowing humanity they probably just get left where they are, especially in space since there's tons of garbage just floating around.

Some get put in museums, I remember in Zeta the Guncannon (Mass production/recovered from A Baoa Qu?) was on display on that air base where Hayato was.

or get send to proxie wars like how england sent a bunch of old APC they built back in the 60s when ukran asked for armors because their corrupt government sold all their stuff to the terrorist cells in the middle east and then also sold all those APC to the rebals for $80000 USD each, which then they went back as asked for more; and this is why they use school buses as troop transport and get their face kicked up by the rebels

You forgot Buster and Duel in Seed, which vanished into thin air in Destiny.

People think they were given back to EA after the first war but that never officially confirmed anywhere.

I would imagine the ones that have no significant historical value will likely to get scraped like they did to warships in WW2.

amuro would have had to get ALEX before solomon or at least RIGHT after they conquer it for it to change anything. if he gets it a a boa qu maybe he kills char, maybe not (the zeong is more powerful than alex anyway right?); but if he gets it before a boa qu he doesn't kill lalah and instead kills char, which obviously radically alters everything afterwards most importantly amuro and lalah get to experience a new type of sex

It's logical to think that the return of GAT-X units stolen by ZAFT would be one point in the treaty after the first war.
Buster was heavily damaged by the Providence, Duel was alright. But in Destiny they're already outdated anyway so they don't show up.
>>
>>14071778
captured enemy machines are rarely ever required to be given back to whatever side originally operated them, lots of countries displayed captured enemy vehicles at war memorials or on public accessible army grounds

the loss of the 4 gundams didn't impact EA's development of their own MS (except maybe OS development) and as we already know, the only things that are left are the Buster and Duel.. there doesn't seem to be much of a point demanding their return when they don't even have much value, symbolic or material..
>>
>>14071778

There's really nothing to gain from them at this point, and nobody else demanded anything back.

It's more likely they just junked them because Buster was wrecked and Duel would have needed all it's equipment rebuilt and they were the worst of the GAT-X lot anyway.
>>
>>14068785
This.
>>
>>14071829
>>14071852
Or maybe ZAFT returned Duel as symbol of goodwill (Buster was lying there wrecked for anyone to pick). And added Assault Shroud data as bonus.
I find it weird how EA Blu Duel has very similar setup with AS, even down to exactly same-shaped railgun. Although we all know it's designed that way so the gunpla can reuse parts.
