Well Nicola was personally trained by Char. So the way he fights is almost just like him. If you recall the damage Char could do with a Zaku in the first Dynasty Warriors Gundam game, Nicola's a lot like that

Pretty much, Tempest really had no interest at all in continuing the war.It wasn't even until the start of Gryps Conflict that it became widely known that Tempest Zeon wasn't a myth.

And since getting their own Colony they were able to increase their operations by a factor of ten. While I admit many Titans soldiers were not bad people (just missled) Their leaders were all assholes. And too many of those guys got off easy after the Gryps conflict

The commander's antenna seemed the right height to me. But I was worried it wasn't wide enough. I drew and redrew it repeatedly until I settled for this one.

By theway, have you seen the GM Kai I drew?

I have. Very well done as well, though it does seem rather flat-footed. The GM models I have have all got a bit more substance to their feet.

And the taller antenna is just a particular styling of mine. It's been a while since I drew a Zaku, and the best ones were on rather... cheap paper not really intended for having nice things on it.

On a side note, Annoyance at a blatant art theif trying to profit off the Masurao from Gundam 00!

Well most of the early GM models and Gundams were flat footed. (Save for the [G] series and Guncannon MPT) And to be honest I kind of prefere it that way.

I've drawn a fair amount of Zakus. The reason for that is because they make good practice. One of the things I'm hoping to draw in the future I call the Leogeese. It's a Leo Commander Type with beam cannons on each shoulder, downsized Tallgeese thrusters and a Talgeese like face. But that's just one of the many ideas I have. And I don't know when I'll get around to them

Crap! That guy might be in a load of trouble. I have plenty of frankens that were my earlier posts. But I never had them on a buy option. And I never took credit for them either. And the sequential art pics I colored all have credits to the original artists. A while back I accidentilly had a couple of my colored sequential art pics in the buy print catagory. But that was olny because I uploaded them the wrong way. When somebody pointed it out I fixed it

"Leogeese". I like it. I think that something similar is already referred to as the Leo II... Though it too is a fan-designed suit and is almost identical to what you describe, sans the Tallgeese-face and beam cannons.

You can use my Tallgeese drawing for reference if you want, the Leo is structurally almost identical.

Well likely many people have thought of the Leogeese. But I think the other versions of it that were made are Gundam Frankens rather than scratch drawings.

It is a very good Tallgeese drawing. By the way, used a new paint program I downloaded to make a black and white lineart version of that Gundam you asked me to line for you. I think I might be able to send it to you via the gift option on this site and you could color it however you please.

I'd like to see your custom Tallgeese. My personal favorite is the Tallgeese 2. I love that one. Oh have you ever seen the Tallgeese Heaven?

I've actually seem both frankens and originals of the Leogeese. Saw this one thread once (that for the life of me I can't find again somehow) that had a few variations of it linked in some of the posts.

I honestly have now idea how the gift option works here, but if you do manage to get it to work I guess I'd find out pretty quick with a notification or something. I have been thinking about how I could make more variations of the Titan's color scheme....

Right now the only good picture I have of my Tallgeese is one I made (and photocopied several of) to try and come up with a color scheme I like for my modified Tallgeese III HG 1/100 model which now sports a grey and black color scheme not too dissimilar from the Titan itself. Also it will ideally have a cape that bolts to the shoulder armour like for Sandrock Kai, except the way that the Tallgeese III's extra shoulder armor is bolted over the normal armor means that it requires no additional plating to hold in place as it can fit in between the layers of armor rather easily, which means if it has to be discarded in battle then it happens quicker than the Sandrock Kai's (which requires all of the extra plating holding the cloak be purged, which both takes time and encourages remaining stationary so that you don't damage your machine on its discarded armor as it falls.)

And... no, I can't seem to find anything about the Tallgeese Heaven except that it's from Frozen Teardrop and uses nanotechnology.

If you google Tallgeese Heaven and check images you'll find a picture of it. It looks a lot like the original with the wings from Wing Zero Custom and is doing an angelic pose.

And If I can't figure out the gift option I can just post the Titan and then you can copy it and I can remove it once you have it.

I think the Red Leo custom had a cape like the one you speak of. It was a nice looking Mobil Suit.

Hey you ever wonder what would happen if the original Tallgeese faced off against the RX-78-2 Gundam?

I tried googling and ... I'm not really sure what I got from that. I did see exactly one image that kinda resembles what you just described, but it was surrounded by images like a recolored Epyon in Wing's color scheme and a myriad of other nonsense.

I do remember that red Leo though. Part of the inspiration for mine to have a cape.

I've though about a few mashup fights, but not that one in particular though. I would love to see a Char VS Zechs match, Gelgoog VS Tallgeese (Giving Char the Gelgoog because of how little chance a Zaku stands against a very basic Gundam, and how well the Tallgeese stands against far more advanced models, just makes it more fair. Of course, my knowledge of UC timeline MS is incomplete, so if you can recommend a suitable replacement for Char's Gelgoog then I'd say to just go with that instead.)
Others include Heero V Setsuna (any of their suits), the ALEX VS Heavyarms, Leos VS Zakus, OverFlagg VS Wing Gundam, and many many many more.

Well the recolored Epyon is called the Epyon White. It was built by Chang Wufei decades later and has been customised to his prefrances. The original Epyon wasn't destroyed either. It was mothballed for some time but was repaired, upgraded, and is now piloted by a clone of Milliardo Peacraft that is made of nano machines or something. The clone carries over the names Zechs and is leader of a third party group that is a thorn in everybodie's sides. Heero resurfaces piloting the Snow White, which from what I know heavily resembles the Wing Zero Custom. And the real Milliardo Peacraft comes back piloting the Tallgeese Heaven.

In a battle between the RX-78-2 Gundam and the Tallgeese 1 you have to take all things into consideration. Both units are first generation tech in their respective timelines. They have comperable cockpit controls but the Gundam has the core block system. Though that is designed for escape and is not really worth noting in a 1 on 1 fight. The Tallgeese is physically smaller than the RX-78-2 Gundam and is only built from Titanium alloy. So it has physical strength and durability probebly pretty similar to an RGM-79. Whereas the Gundam is made of Luna Titanium (Later renamed Gundarium) So it can take a hit better than the Tallgeese. The Tallgeese has been shown to be able to rip a Cancer Mobile Suit in half. But I have no doubt a standard RGM-79 could do that too. Also the Tallgeese's beam sabers don't work under water, but the RX-78-2 Gundam's do. The RX-78-2 Gundam has quick access to both of it's beam sabers, whereas the Tallgeese can only use one of it's beam sabers at a time. Early on the Tallgeese is veiwed as a juggernaught because it could overpower enemy units with it's size. But with further advancements in technology this was eventually negated. As such the Tallgeese 2 was viewed as more of a finesse Mobile Suit. The Tallgeese 3 brought back the juggernaught status though. The first Tallgeese was armed primarliy with a shell firing dober gun. Which has been shown to be able to damage the Gundanium alloy armor of the AC Gundams. However I don't think it would easily penatrate the thick Gundarium shield of the RX-78-2 Gundam. The Tallgeese 2 had a beam dober gun that would have a better chance. But the RX-78-2 had a beam rifle that was capable of a decent rate of fire, was excellent at shooting from the hip and had very accurate medium range shots. The RX-78-2 also has faster bodily movment than the Tallgeese because of it's magnetic joint coating. And the RX-78-2 Gundam has been shown to be more adjile as well. It can hop on the heads of enemy MS with reletive ease. The Tallgeese's mobility is heavily relient on it's thrusters. But that didn't do it much good in space because the thrusters couldn't keep up with the demand, a problem that was fixed in the Tallgeese 2. The Gundam's thrusters however were good in both land and space combat with no trouble at all. The Gundam was also capable of unassisted atmospheric reentry. When it comes to beeam weapons in the AC timeline I've noticed that there is no standard rifle. They have small beam spray guns that are either in gun form or mounted directly on a MS, the Leo Commander type being an example. Then there are large beam and or long beam rifles and beam dober guns. But none of them can shoot like a standard beam rifle and lack reliability by comparrison. The only one that really compares is the beam dober gun as it has the power for mutiple shots and can be fired reletively quickly. But few Mobile Suits could handle them and they are rarley shown in use. From what I can tell the Tallgeeses 1 through 3 all share the same base frame because they are all physically the same size. But I'm not sure about the Tallgeese Heaven. That one may be made of Gundanium alloy since it was built decades later. I don't mean to play favorites but in the end with comparrison of all the stats I'd have to say the RX-78-2 Gundam would be the winner.

I have an SD Gundam youtube video that has a battle between the RX-78-2 Gundam and the Tallgeese. It's a good video but I wouldn't say it was technologically accurate [link]

It's true that the Tallgeese was capable of overwhelming enemy machines with its sheer bulk, but look at how the Tallgeese fights - despite the SIZE of it, it's incredibly difficult to pilot due to the sheer speed and maneuverability of the machine. Those huge booster packs on its back are NOT for show. Also I'm not sure if the Tallgeese was Gen1 in the AC timeline - it's stated to be the first mobile suit of the Generation which the OZ ms and AC Gundams are members of, but it doesn't say how many Generations came before it. Theoretically, there could be dozens of Generations of mobile suits because we just don't know - but we DO know that the RX-78 line is Generation 1 tech. Presumably, the Tallgeese is at least a Gen2 based on what we know, but could easily be anywhere further down the line. Also it's never really stated if the Tallgeese's joints are magnetically coated, but due to being Post Gen1, it very would COULD be. Remember about how it's so hard to control for most pilots? So was the RX-78-Nt1 ALEX, which was magnetically coated, and intended for pilots like Amuro to use. It could be said the the Doctors who designed the Tallgeese (who seem to have quite a penchant for making hyper-capable machines) built the Tallgeese with a similarly superior pilot in mind. With that said, it's true that the Dober Gun used by the Tallgeese is greatly inferior to a beam weapon, but it is NOT true that the Tallgeese can only use one sword at a time - as the shield in which the swords are stored is held to the shoulder by an 'arm', it means that both swords can be deployed rather easily.

Also, the AC timeline doesn't have 'standard' beam weapons, it's not without standard energy weapons. There are the stubby beam cannons used by Leos, and there are also standard laser-based rifles that Leo's can use, and did use during the end of the series. When the Virgo and Virgo II were unveiled, what with there Planet Defensors creating energy shields for them, most people learned real quick that machine guns were useless, but once it was (rather accidentally) learned that an 'antique' laser rifle shot straight through the shield, a new model was mass-produced for the Leos to use. While the original Tallgeese was already KIA at this point, there were standard-model laser rifles available which it could have used alongside its Dober Gun. In fact the opening/ending cinematic shows it doing just that, before attacking Wing Gundam with a blade and then switching to the Dober Gun.

As for mobility in space, it is true that the Tallgeese is not as capable as it could be, but it would still be significantly faster than the Gundam due to the immense amount of thrust it DOES have. Once in the atmosphere, though, the advantage is very much with Tallgeese, which can fly under its own power while the Gundam can only perform booster-assisted jumps. So I suppose it matters where exactly their fight takes place. Planet-side, the Tallgeese has a clear advantage in mobility that the Gundam just cannot match, while in space the deficiencies of the Tallgeese's mobility and the fact that the Gundam is in its most potent environment would definitely even the playing field significantly.

DaiGuard78 In reply to Etheral117 [2013-03-22 05:02:57 +0000 UTC]

I am inclined to agree with most of that. But from all the information I've gathered the Tallgeese is G1 tech. The AC timeline is noted for having one of the slowest MS development plans of all. In fact Mobile Suit technology hardly changed in AC for over thirty years.

Yes the RX-78-2 cannot fly under it's own power. But it's thrusters did provide surprisingly quick movement in a pinch. In DWG 1 the RX-78-2 dodged a shot from the far more advanced Zeta Gundam with reletive ease. The Tallgeese's biggest strength is also unfortunately it's biggest weakness. If it's thrusters take any damage and cannot function they only serve to weigh the unit down as they cannot be jettisoned. And if it were to be using it's speed against the Gundam than it may be limited to hit and run tactics. Also I'm pretty sure it had no magnetic joint coating. Milliardo remarked that the unit was reacting too slowly, and was told he was simply moving too fast for it to keep up. A problem the RX-78-2 had until recieving the mag coating. And either way the RX-78-2 already had enough adjility to dodge the Tallgeese's attacks reletively easily. If anything in a 1 on 1 fight without thrusters the RX-78-2 would seem like a juggarnaught against the Tallgeese. The scientists that designed the Tallgeese were simply trying to make something as powerful as they possibly could at the time. But they got a little overzealous and made it too powerful for most pilots to control. Before Milliardo got used to the g forces he suffered a heart attack. Milliardo himself even referred to the Tallgeese's design as reckless.

The history records state that the Tallgeese is the first armed MS of the AC timeline. Meaning that all previous units were worker machines at best. It was the same when the Zeon Zaku was in development. It was only when they built the MS-04 Prototype Zaku that Mobile Suits in UC achieved combat status. And all Zakus right up until and through the One Year War were G1 tech. It was only until the release of the Zaku III that they finally improved on the model. Though it was mostly in name only as the G2 Hizack shared more in common with the old Zaku series. And it can also be noted that the Gaza Cs that were from Axis were constructed canniblized parts from old worker MS that were never made for combat. As such the Gaza C suffers from low durability and had a lifespan of only three missions before needing to be rebuilt or it would litterally fall apart.

I do not recall ever seeing the Tallgeese use more than one beam saber at a time in the show. I do remember seeing the Tallgeese 2 use two in a special attack in DWG 3. But that's it. However if you say it can use them that way then I believe you.

From what I can imagine the Tallgeese might run itself ragged trying to overpower the RX-78-2 in land combat. The fight might drag on for so long that the Tallgeese's pilot's heart might give out or they might simply pass out at the controls. Milliardo stated that the mobility of the Tallgeese is dependent on the vernier output. A critical weakness. It was thanks to Milliardo's skill that he wasn't shot in the back until losing the Tallgeese in space combat. In order to fight in space the Tallgeese had to have extra thrusters installed. But it was only a stop gap measure that delayed the inevitable. The RX-78-2 on the other hand was good at taking out MS faster than itself. This was shown when Amuro fought the Black Tristars and Char's Gelgoog and Zeong. In terms of sheer combat ability and adaptability the RX-78-2 wins out. Also the Gundam has a better asortment of close combat weapons. I shudder to think of what would happen if the Tallgeese were hit with the powered up Gundam Hammer. The stress on it's frame might tear the unit in half because of it's thin abdominal region.

All in all I'd have to say the only advantage the Tallgeese has is it's flight cababilities. And when Milliardo upgraded to Wing Zero and then Epyon he was shown to be far more capable. And the Tallgeese Heaven that he pilots in the future undoubtably fixes all the problems with the past models.

Even with Amuro being able to hold out against better machines with the upgraded Gundam, I still say that Zechs/Milliardo (never was fond of that name, it sounds more than a little silly to me - like they were trying too hard to make him sound royal), the Char of the AC timeline, would definitely be a very challenging opponent for him. I think it may also be worth specifying just how far into their careers they are - as Zechs got more used to the stresses the Tallgeese gave him and Amuro spent more time on the battlefield, both began to improve their performance drastically. Also it was later in Amuro's One Year War career that the Gundam was upgraded to better match his abilities, (but on that note I feel like if the problem of it lagging behind him were completely fixed with that upgrade then they wouldn't have invested so much effort in a new Gundam, the ALEX, to match his reaction speed more suitably). If, say, mid OYW career Amuro fought Zechs while he was halfway through his use of the Tallgeese, the two factors of the both of their abilities only just truly beginning to shine through AND the fact that the Gundam has not yet received that crucial upgrade would make the playing field, in my mind, almost completely even. Amuro has quite a knack for clipping the wings of machines significantly faster than his, and Zechs has been shown to be able to handle almost anything that gets in his way (He even nearly kills Heero during their duel on Antarctica, but Relina's timely arrival forces him to stand down long enough for Heero to rest a moment). But I'm sure you're inclined to disagree with me on this somehow ^_^

I suppose the only way we'll really find out is if someone runs a "Deadliest Warrior" type simulation on it. I'm trying to think of someone who could be a worthy opponent for Treize from the UC timeline, but outside of some of the Zabi's and Bright, not much really comes to mind. It's kind of hard to top someone who both politic'd his way into being literal King of the World and could go toe to toe with the best pilots and machines of his time with an upgraded Tallgeese.

DaiGuard78 In reply to Etheral117 [2013-03-25 01:58:31 +0000 UTC]

I agree that if Milliardo fought Amuro early on while Amuro was still getting used to being a pilot then the odds would greatly increase in his favor. And I completely agree that a battle mid way through both their carreers could go either way. I know Zechs didn't like being called Milliardo for a while. But that was the name he settled on after he got married. And since he has that nano machine clone of himself that's actually named Zechs, I refere to him as Milliardo to avoid confusion. One of the main differences of Amuro and Milliardo was that Milliardo had formal training as a pilot. Amuro did not. Amuro had to learn on his feet. Milliardo had to do some quick learning to handle the Tallgeese. But the base performance of the machine is like that of an upsized Leo. So he could work the body almost as good as the Leo right away. He also had a lot of experience piloting Aries Mobile Suits, so he could handle a flying MS too. For him the Tallgeese was the best of both worlds.

The reason the Gundam Alex was built was not just to give Amuro a faster MS, but was also to test new technologies. It just gave the Federation an excuse to build it. If they had wanted to get it to Amuro bad enough then they should have shipped the parts directly to White Base and assembled it there. The truth is that after the mag joint coating was applied the RX-78-2 was able to fully keep up with Amuro. But it put extra strain on the body because it wasn't designed to use the mag coating to begin with. Something that was fixed with the Federation's Alex and Zeon's Act Zaku. If the RX-78-2 had undergone a full rebuild with upgraded parts as well as the mag coating then it would have been just as good as the Alex, perhaps even better. The Alex I noticed had a slight durability problem with the arms because of the built in machine guns. An X3 heat hawk sliced right through the right arm rather easily because of the area where the armor separates to allow the built in machine gun to be deployed. It's also worth noting that the Gundams RX-78-4 and RX-78-5 were superior perfomance-wise to the RX-78-2 as well. But they were also flawed as they could only be used in space. And it can also be noted that Amuro wouldn't have used the Alex even when made availible to him. In certain Gihren's Greed games he fought along side the Alex in the RX-78-2 instead of switching over to it himself. I think perhaps he felt close to the Gundam because his father not only designed the Mobile Suit but he'd also bonded with it. Milliardo bonded with the Tallgeese to as well since he mourned it's destruction. And honestly I would too in his shoes.

I agree that Milliardo did intend on fighting Heero to the death. He hates to leave a duel unfinished. That's why he and Heero were at each others throats until their final fight at the end of the series. I don't think they in any way hate each other though. I'd have to say the battle in antartica was pretty close to even. But Heero was in a Gundam he wasn't used to using. And one of his arms was in bad shape. The only handicap was that Milliardo perposely didn't fully repair the Tallgeese's left arm from when it was damaged in their previous fight. If Heero had been in top form piloting the Heavyarms then I think the odds would have been just a bit better. I can understand why he refused to use the Wing Gundam though. He didn't want charity and hates to lean on anyone unless he has to. And I think it's also possible he didn't want to damage it again.

Yes a Deadliest Warrior simulation would be perfect. But it would be a pain to gather data on the combattents without a full technological backround on either. Stuff from video games and anime just wouldn't do the job as they always test the weapons by hand in the show. In terms of an opponent for Treize... I'd have to say maybe Johnny Ridden in his Gelgoog. But I'm not sure as there are few people to compare Treize to.

On a side note. One thing I've noticed about Gundam Seed though is that the Astray Red Frame has abilities virtually the same as the RX-78-2 Gundam. They both are similarly armed (Asside from the katana sword) and seem to have comperable physical strength too. The Red Frame doesn't have a reactor to power it but it does have an added booster assembly that can be detached. I wouldn't mind seeing a fight between the two of them

Man I miss finding Gundam on TV - watching it on the PC is just never was the same - mostly because I have a desktop which I cannot use from the nice recliner in the living room, but the widescreen TV more than made up for it. Of course, I didn't even have a computer until just a couple of years ago, well after CN started mucking everything up, so by that point I guess I had just... I dunno, compartmentalized it as "in the past" or something. Even now that Toonami is (partially) back, I never really take the time to watch the programming. Back in the past I used to watch the aired anime (even Sailor Moon and Hamtaro, for some reason) every run I could, growing fond of Big O, Outlaw Star, Yu Yu Hakisho, and Tenchi Muyo. I remember when IGPX was supposed to be a mecha combat series, instead of the mecha racing thing it got revised to literally years after the preview. Heh, you can't imagine how absolutely thrilled I was to discover Gundam 00 was being aired on the SciFi Channel. (Which they have also gone and mucked up now, damn "SyFy" bigwigs.) Still, I saw more of Wing than anything else, except maybe G Gundam, so I guess it goes without saying that Wing is by far my favorite series of the bunch.

I guess I have a lot of nostalgia for Gundam Wing, like you have for the UC timeline Gundams. I blame Cartoon Network : prolly around 13 or so years back, watching TV in a new house we had just moved to, flipping through the channels to try and learn what was what so I could find cartoons on Nickelodeon easier, and instead my sister and I were treated to a hectic fight between some Leos and some Aeries, followed by a ludicrous display of martial arts by Goku and company (or was it the other way around...?). Let's just say we were hooked from then on - me on Gundam Wing, my sister on Dragon Ball Z. Served as an excellent introduction to Cartoon Network, and it only got better as we watched it more (that is, until they started mucking it up.)

Man, those were good times. I hate that they stopped airing SEED right in the damn middle of the run. I was getting out of bed at 1 AM to see it, and I kept doing it right up until it just quietly yet blatantly vanished. Normally I liked Yu Yu Hakisho, but not when I had not yet developed any of my current nocturnal tendencies and was making the next morning incredibly lousy by staying up at that hour. Well damn, I've gone all nostalgic on you. I never really got to talk Gundam to most of friends. Most who even know what it is have more interest on other Anime, while mine has stayed relatively focused on Gundam (Save for Miyazaki films, those are all just frickin' sweet).

Well I saw Gundam Wing on Toonami from episode 1 to the end. I rather liked it all too. I liked DBZ as well. Lot of fun there. Me and a friend of mine liked Toonami until they decided to throw a curve ball and completely change the design of everything. They made Tom and his crew look like some beat up kids toys. And wile I admit they were a bit funnier that way it was kinda....... Well you get the idea.

I actually liked IGPX a fair bit. I have some of the series on DVD. And I watched Sailor Moon too. My older brother said it was natural for me to be watching it with the age I was at the time. Did you ever see Blue Submarine No.6?

When I was a kid I lived in Portland for a while. Didn't much like it there. Our cable didn't get cartoon network, just nikolodeon. Then in 1999 we moved to Oregon City and our new cable company had cartoon network. Needless to say that was a godsend for me.

I saw some of Gundam 00 and Gurren Lagan on Scifi too. They were pretty good. Might get them on DVD some day. But Gundam 00 is kinda low on my priority list at the moment. Right now I have the first issue of Gundam The Origins manga on pre-order because they are re-releasing it.

I saw some of Seed on TV. But I spent a few months at a Job-Corps trying to learn a trade. Needless to say that didn't work out very well. And I missed so much while I was gone I didn't bother with it when I got home. When I was a kid I used to get up in at 11:00 PM on a Tuseday night to watch an episode of the Three Stooges. That left me kinda tired at school the next day.

I like talking Gundam with friends online. Because none of my close friends are really that into it. Nostalgia is good to listen to sometimes. I may be a big talker in my family, but I can be a good listener too

It has been shown that some Zaku 1 Commander Types were equipped with the heat saber. And I always wondered why we didn't see more of them. If more Zakus had been equipped with them it would had improved chances. They were much better than a X3 Heat Hawk after all
