A guide to Gundam!

Interesting article on Gundam, from an American perspective anyway. Gundam to me will always be the "Universal Century" timeline. The other shows in the series are like Star Wars Eps I-III to me; it's there but not necessarily good. At least they are separate timelines and not canon like the prequel trilogy. :p

I kinda agree on how most people think an 18m tall robot would just make a realllly big (and expensive) target. But the reasoning for it (if i remember correctly), was that 1) the armor on these machines were so thick most conventional weapons were like peashooters to it 2) the discovery of "Minovsky Particles" which rendered conventional communications and targeting systems useless.

So if you wanted to kill an 18m tall robot, you'd need another 18m tall (or bigger) robot haha.
