Why didn't Quattro ever have the Hyaku Shiki repainted red like his Rick Dias?

Didn't he feel like a tremendous tool flirting about in a shiny golden robot?

And it's not like the situation with the Zeong where he just didn't have time to have it painted red. He flew in it all the way until Haman drops some debris on him.

Because Quattro isn't Char.

Well, depending on the source

Huh?
Who said that he's Char. Gold just looks gay. Red is always cool.
What's this about the Zeong OP? What are you on about?
>>
>>14068728
No, you don;t understand, Quattro he is A CHAR

>>14068731
Looks like sex

>>14068731
It really does look good in red. Though I'm curious what it'd look like if it still had the slate black chest for contrast.

But his Zaku was pink. PINK.

>>14068722
Anti-beam coating is golden

>>14068745

Hyaku Shiki was a failed attempt at making a transforming Gundam, since that didn't work all they did was reinforce the joints and slap some gold paint on it.
>>
>>14068722

the real world answer is that it was a nagano decision, it's similar to the Knight of Gold from FSS

Didn't red become the standard color for the Rick Dias after he started piloting the Hyaku?

Yes.

sorry to barge in but can someone explain to me what the deal is with Re:0096? is it another OVA? recap episode? or a tv show?
>>
>>14070640
well, it was AE's test unit for the insertion of moveable frame tech, and also an unique sensor system. nothing much of a failure, since it became more of a prototype model for further MS development.

Codenamed Delta Gundam, it would iterate a new model with transformation abilities this time, under the name of Delta Plus.
>>
>>14073688
it's the OVA-so-good-you-put-it-on-TV case, albeit i've heard of new scenes added in and there's the Unicorn Gundam's althered Destroy Mode (in red this time)

Plus they made an english-dubbed promo for it... what does it means??
>>
>>14073700
oh ok, I thought they're doing a full length tv version of it, thanks.

>>14073688
oh wait i guess i just couldn't find it posted anywhere else

>>
>>14073705
it's been advertised as a 24 or 26 episodes cut of it, so it's not just the OVAs being on TV unchanged, it's recut as episodes instead.
>>
>>14073700
>Plus they made an english-dubbed promo for it... what does it means??
Maybe there's no new dialogue so they can re-use the old dub easily.
>>
>>14068731
I may be in minority but that color scheme is fucking horrible. On Hyaku Shiki at least.
>>
>>14068745
Nice meme.

It was light red.
>>
If we're going to ask Hyaku Shiki questions, why don't we ask why it never got a shield.
>>
>>14073826
Fuck off, Char.

it's not really part of the design, and one was never asked for

the hyaku shiki is seen holding a hizack shield in the third ANT movie and there's some magazine art of it having some sort of unique shield, though

Because he was trying to not be Char.

Just like how they had Amuro in the Dijeh.
>>
>>14068958
But can't they just paint over it? Does painting anti-beam coating just ruin it?

it's a chemical ablative coating, so no.

>>14069771
There is nothing the Hyaku Shiki actually needs in space in the lower legs, that is fairly the most logical place to strip armour from.

It carries a shield in some background shot in the movies, Char traditionally doesn't really use them because IT DOESN'T MATTER IF IT DOESN'T HIT YOU
>>
>>14068722
Cause Char wanted his mobile suit to be as fabulous as his shades and hair.

Spiegel, too (then again, G Gundam's definition for a Char is rather loose).

A good little vignette. Shame the actual Zeta Gundam didn't have episodes like this, seeing it clumsily put together with cheap CG like this is a sad thing.

When has that ever stopped Char?

Hyaku Shiki was developed by Anaheim's Zeta Project. Word is Quattro specifically asked for the gold paint job to make it insulting to the Titans that it was more or less produced right under their nose and they didn't see it coming.
>>
>>14068731
Cheap, Sinanju best RED

Which sounds like another stupid retcon they made for filler text in some stupid technical manual.

>>14076823
>SUMO

People misunderstand completely, but this is /m/ and /m/ is completely fucking stupid. Harry Ord is in no way a Char.
He's a Quattro. Hence the GOLD and the GLASSES.
>>
Oh and continuing from >>1407855, I'd also like to address >>14068735
>Quattro he is A CHAR
Quattro may be A CHAR, but by no means are any of the Quattro-types A Chars in themselves
>>
>>14078558
And you are a dummy. The "Char" is the semi-mysterious guy who in some way covers up his face. In Quattro's case his glasses are his "mask".
