Totes. I can't stand SF's triangle crest. It just looked weird. OG Freedom's rectangular crest and wings look the best. Gold PS frame is a hit or miss.
We're definitely headed there since the new Freedom Gundam is suppose to have an even stronger feather motif and we all know what the Wing Zero EW version looks like.
Frankly I would prefer something like this for at least the main body itself. The chest cannon just never felt right for me.
The first thing that came to mind when I saw the Super Strik-, sorry, now it's called Perfect Strike Gundam all those years ago was "won't all that shit drain Strike's hilariously short battery life dry in a minute?"
Yes and no. They added additional external battery packs (those white fin things) to compensate for the power drain. It was Strike Rouge they improved the battery on and granting it extended power. It's also why the color is red because red=more power to the PS supposedly.
IIRC the first time the Perfect Strike came up were kitbashes by modellers simply combining the equipment together. When the studio adopted it as an actual design, they dealt with the power issue via a little-known design feature. The rear end of the agni beam cannon is supposed to be a battery built into the weapon to help provide extra power since it's easily the most energy-sucking weapon that the Strike has. They decided to literally attach a whole stack of these batteries to the back of the Perfect Strike to give it extra power.
>apologize NOW!
Never cause the Strike Freedom wings look stupid and too thin compared to the original. Not only that, but the thinner skirt guns makes the Freedom lose part of the knightly look it had to it, and it's also stupid as frick that they go behind when Kira stores his beam rifles meaning he can't use either which is impractical as frick.
I would have given it pass had they made it buffer like this version. Give it that superhero bod.
There's something truly poetic that encapsulates everything dogshit about SEED that, to show Kira was the REAL main character and Fukuda was mad everybody liked Shinn so much, they trimmed his shiny new invincible Gundam in FRICKING GOLD
Shinn is actually pretty popular, even compared to most of the returning characters from SEED characters. If you take a look at the big NHK poll from a few years ago for instance, it does initially look like Shinn is a good bit less popular than any of them:
> 04th: Kira Yamato > 10th: Athrun Zala > 20th: Lacus Clyne > 27th: Shinn Askua
However, those numbers are a bit deceptive and most of them are being carried by people's perception of those characters in SEED specifically and their Destiny portrayals aren't nearly as popular.
> 07th: Kira Yamato (SEED) > 18th: Kira Yamato (SEED: Destiny) > 20th: Athrun Zala (SEED) > 29th: Shinn Asuka (SEED: Destiny) > 33rd: Lacus Clyne (SEED) > 38th: Athrun Zala (SEED: Destiny) > 44th: Lacus Clyne (SEED: Destiny)
If you break it down by work, then Shinn is actually the second most popular character in Destiny and more popular than Lacus in either individual work, with her only more popular than him when combining her appearances across both shows. Destiny Kira and SEED Athrun aren't even that much more popular than Shinn either, though the site doesn't break down the exact numbers sadly.
Yes, it's very popular. Kits sell well too, even the old 2005 HG.
One of few good things about Try was Shimon using that straight built Destiny. Naturally, it once again had to job against a Gary Stu protagonist.
shinn is the only reason why GSD is even watchable in the first place. the kira wank towards the end is obnoxious and he's a shit character
I had a friend who insisted Destiny 'got good' during the tail end. After I had watched it for myself, I stopped respecting any of his opinions on Gundam.

>Naturally, it once again had to job against a Gary Stu protagonist.
It didn't even job. Shimon was the first one to do any real damage to the Build Burning (a superior suit) and he had to make Sekai work for that victory even still.
If you want to see the Destiny jobbing then look at Shinn's fight with Kira and Athrun after they got their upgrades. On paper the Destiny should be about equal to both but Shinn consistently got his ass styled by both.
The gold is too much for me considering the other colors already present, but I otherwise don't hate the design. It's more that Kira and SEED Destiny are hot dogshit
I'm sorry for your shit taste anon, maybe with some medical help you can improve your condition.
It's not your fault being born moronic, and you deserve to be treated with respect even if you are a burden for everybody around you.
And don't worry about Mr. BANDAI, you aren't important enough to matter to him.
Unless you are chinese, then it's a cultural thing.
FUKUDA-SAMA… MY LEGS… THEY WON’T STOP KNEELING
I always liked both Freedoms.
>$1 store Double X
at least they found good design to copy
Don't fix something that is not broken
Best lead Gundam.
Bait.
Ugly ass gold plating and the OG Freedom is the best.
Totes. I can't stand SF's triangle crest. It just looked weird. OG Freedom's rectangular crest and wings look the best. Gold PS frame is a hit or miss.
Thank God this eyesore will be replaced in the movie.
Speaking of, will Kira had the new Gundam from the start or will he start out with SF and get it destroyed and replaced like in Trailblazer
Probably the latter
It would make the antagonist look impressive because Strike Freedom was a fricking monster
yeah you're still a homosexual.

Literally one step away from Unicorn/Hathaway's Flash tier overdesigned garbage MS

>how do you want your strike senpai?
>just frick my shit up
Just have Mwu pilot this. It fits him better than the Hyaku Shiki knockoff.
That's from the gunpla mobile game anon, it's a plamo

Don't quote me on this, but I think Orb upgraded its battery when they repaired it.
>I think Orb upgraded its battery when they repaired it.
Hey, it's a step up from Zeta Zaku and Exia hobo repair.
Yes and no. They added additional external battery packs (those white fin things) to compensate for the power drain. It was Strike Rouge they improved the battery on and granting it extended power. It's also why the color is red because red=more power to the PS supposedly.

It showed up as an SD kit pretty early on too, sans the batteries.

even the nips hates that bozo literally the worst part of GSD
We literally have an official manga proving you wrong.

Also isn't Destiny a popular MS in Gundam VS only lagging behind to Exia and 00?
Yes, it's very popular. Kits sell well too, even the old 2005 HG.

I can't believe recent shows have been so bad I'm looking forward to the seed movie of all things.
The gold is too much for me considering the other colors already present, but I otherwise don't hate the design. It's more that Kira and SEED Destiny are hot dogshit
The problem with the gold is that either looks amazing or absolutely shit with no inbetween. And unfortunately in the show itself it looks like shit.
SEED I hate SEED so much. But I'll admit, I've enjoyed the designs of many of the suits.
t. /m/ consensus
I started building the mg for this 8 years ago and stopped at 90% completion. Its still in my livingroom without an arm and weapons.
It's still shit especially compared to Vanilla Freedom. Never post this shit again.
No, you still look worse than the Freedom.
Trash design. Trash show.
Good Riddance, If Fukuda and Okawara pull off a Transformable Freedom. I will already call the movie a step up from Destiny.
Why do people keep wanting a transformable Freedom? Transforming MS have generally been terrible in terms of build stability.
