>get curious about the Gaplant
>look it up on Gundam Wiki
>"Although it isn’t known how many Gaplants were produced only two units were seen during the Gryps War. The first was piloted on Earth by Cyber Newtype Rosamia Badam, and was deployed against the AEUG following the attack on Jaburo, when she attacked the Audhumla. The second was used in space some time later by Titans pilot Yazan Gable. "
Now, it's been a REAL long time since the last time I watched Zeta Gundam, but wasn't the Gaplant piloted by Four Murasama?
I could just rewatch, yes, but I don't have the episodes downloaded right now and I don't want to redownload them just to confirm who's butt warmed the seat. That and I'm fairly certain I'm not wrong.
>>14426083
Four only ever piloted Psycho Gundam. It was Rosamia.
>>14426083
Rosamia piloted it. She disappeared from the show after ejecting from it until she returned as a retard later on.
>>14426084
>>14426087
Ah. I am shamed. I may have to make reparations by rewatching Zeta Gundam now.
While we're on the subject, I know the Gaplant has a blind spot. Does any other 360 degree cockpit have a blindspot?
>>14426698
All of them, until they figure out how to make a transparent seat
>>14426724
Didn't Boba Fett or some Star Wars mercenary have a fisheye view in their helmet that gave them a 360 view compressed down to 180 or whatever the human field of view is? I'd imagine that while processing such distorted information takes some getting used to it'd be s better option, since you don't have to learn to see behind yourself or through yourself or your equipment.
>>14426087
Even before ejecting and becoming a retard, she had a retardly good body.
Touch fluffy hair
Since we brought it up...Why is Rosamia so LITERALLY retarded at the end of the show??
It really drags Zeta down a notch for me because she is a significant enough character to impact my thoughts on the show as a whole. I know 4chan likes to exagerate and name-call, but she became literally a retarded retard. Wtf.
>>14430250
To clarify (since many people don't know what the word "literally" means), I'm talkin like
>duuuuuuuuuuuRAAAAHGGFFFFPTPTT!
Retarded. Fucking actually mental.
I'm still wondering how would have been the mecha design if the authors weren't so obsessed with transformable mobile suits.
>>14430250
She's really supposed to illustrate how the procedures to create cyber newtypes could destroy the person. We first saw the effects with four and her mood swings. Rosamia takes it to a different extreme. Rossamia also shows that the Titans really didn't care about the effects their procedures could have. Rossamia is ultimately a tragic character when you look at her. What's sad though is that people, including Char, continued using Cyber Newtypes.
On a side note, I think the Titans have my favorite designs for a villain faction.
Imagine how different, and better Rosamia would have been if she never went full retard. Staying in her Earth arc mindset
>>14430357
Not all that different honestly. Messala, Asshimar, Gaplant and Methuss are the only ones that are really designed from the get-go as a transformer.
Zeta, Gabthley, Gaza, Bound Doc and the two Psycos are such last minute tack ons that you would never be able to guess they transformed unless you saw their backsides.
>>14430483
Gaza? You mean literally-a-gun Gaza?
>>14426083
>The second was used in space some time later by Titans pilot Yazan Gable.
Prototype mobile suit for newtypes
"Fuck you I'm using it anyway"
>>14430366
Rosamia was only there at the end to show Kamille's development and changing attitude though. Otherwise she'd just be another Titan side grunt for Kamille to off.
>>14430579
It wasn't for Newtypes, it was for Cyber Newtypes because they have been physically altered to endure the G forces. Yazan is just that tough, do Rosamia and Yazan actually use the Gaplant in any comparatively different way?
>>14430483
based Messala, best of Scirocco's work
>>14430691
In the johnny ridden manga Yazan uses his thrusters to do full on barrel rolls and 180. reverses when he's fighting that sniper
>>14430691
Still makes me sit up and go "holy shit" years later, based Yazan
What if instead of Byarlant Custom, it was a Gaplant at Torrington?

>What if instead of one of the best Titans designs we brought back one of the worst instead?
Please get some taste.
>>14430938
Gaplant shits all over the Byarlant, and doesn't have the stench of Jerid aka failure.
>>14431055
>Snot-green VF-1 wannabe
>Anything but a failure that everything else shits on
Well, it's above the Asshimar and Bound Doc, I can give it that much.
>>14430691
looks like the animators dropped the ball.
>>14426083
Thought that was Srirocco? I don't remember
>>14431055
Did you even watch the show?
The few times Jerid didn't end up a complete idiot was infact with the Byarlant.
Though I agree Byarlant custom is just garbage
>>14430250
Because she needed to be linked with Gates but Scirocco's forces attacked and she panicked as Gates remained behind to protect Dogosse Giar
>>14440425
> protect Dogosse Giar
>protect
He did one hell of a job.
Re100 pleez
>>14440250
Jerid was at his best in the Gabthley, even if he didn't score a named kill in it.
>>14441604
>>14440250
He was damn god in both the Gabthley and the Byarlant. I don't know why he didn't keep the Byarlant.
>>14441697
Baund Doc had a biosensor. So as a newtype he got bumped up into its pilot.
>>14440250
>>14441604
>>14441697
I dunno if I'm the only one, but I thought Jerid's best performance was with one of his earliest suits. Were it not for Char coming in to break up his fight with Kamille in ep. 8 he most likely could have gotten his revenge then and there.
>>14431142
Hey, at least she's got better
>>14441898
not better enough.
I'm surprised this hasn't shown up yet.
>>14441604
I can't actually remember Jerid getting any named kills.
We have lists for protagonist kills, what about side characters like Emma and Jerid?
>>14441747
Kamille was talented, but by ep 8 he was still an angry confused newtype running around rather than any sort of hardened pilot. He has a later performance with the Gabthley against a trained Kamille in the Zeta and he has him dead to rights.
Having said that, fuck yeah Galbaldy Beta, because I'm a Gelgoog fanboy.
>>14442051
He wrecked Apolly's Dias with Apolly still inside it. But that's all he managed.
>>14441697
>I don't know why he didn't keep the Byarlant
Anon, do you really not know, they introduced a new design two new units. They did absolutely fucking nothing especially the silver one quite frankly in that sense.
>>14426083
AOZ really made the Gaplant achieve a new level of dead fucking sexy
