Fuck critical acclaim, cult following bordering on obscurity is what is best.

>>14299809
It's weird as shit and that makes it a good design by virtue of being memorable or something.
A kangaroo-beetle-crab thing is naturally going to stick out more than another monochrome Gundam without a v-fin, but I wouldn't say that makes it attractive. I do wonder why it's always 'villain' mecha that get the most creative designs in any given anime, though. Ugly as shit I can understand, but when they're creatively ugly in such a way that it's obvious there was real thought put into it, it's kind of disappointing that they usually end up being one-off designs that only appear in one episode, y'know?

I got an MSiA action figure maybe a decade back of the Baund Doc.
It was an utter piece of shit. Since then I've always hated it (particularly as well that it's transformed MA mode looks like a retarded horseshoe crab that needs a looney toons-esque hatch to open so it can lift out its beam gun on a spindly accessory arm.

Because people are plebs with shit taste and I'm a shitposter.

Seriously though, I always found the Gabthley and Hambrabi infinitely more interesting.

I mean, Baundy is cute, but seriously overrated by it's vocal minority cult fans.

Lucrezia Noin after Wing ended. She picked up a gig in a ZZ-rate fantasy film about possessed pastries. She was a too little into the role.

Because it's the best MS design in the entire franchise? Seems pretty self-explanatory.

Though, it's true potential as a design comes out when it's not limited by the toyetic aesthetic of TV Gundam.

Is Baund Doc at least a good MS specs wise?
>>
>>14319414
it's supposed to be fast in the show but the calculated acceleration rate makes it kinda slower than some grunt suits to get up to speed

it has that one powerful gun I suppose
>>
>>14299809
It is just a meme dude, by the time the first episode of ZZ was out, there wasn't even enough time to confirm this statement in toy sales or even magazine polls.

I don't know if it was an in-joke or a genuine 80s fad but now it's just a dead meme that autists on /m/ have managed to keep alive.
>>
I just don't know what its supposed to be. Like what is the fast mobility mode supposed to be? Hambrabi is a Stingray, Psycho Gundam is a Pyramid... Baund Doc is al...?

Jerid thought he could take the Zeta with it, so it's probably good by that conflict's standards.
It had a psycommu too, that could do... something.

It was a meme MS, they didn't think it was actually popular with people who would actually buy kits.

I'm just disappointed we never saw a doven wolf or a jegan silver bullet animated.
