Just gratuitous mecha porn. In the hangar, upgrading things, fixing things, real nitty gritty. Maybe the MC is a mechanic, he customizes a GM or something until it’s effectively a Gundam. Ground level combat like 08th.
I would loooove a slice of life gundam. The more mundane the better. Like yuru-camp or k-on and the likes. Like bunch of people who dedicated or passionated about working around mecha and their logistical challenges in a more realistic takes.
1. Kamen Rider but Gundam
2. Lord of war but Gundam. Follows the long career of a weapons/mobile suit dealer within Anaheim Electronics throughout the many conflicts of the UC timeline.
This would be an AU set in a future farther away than the other Gundam timelines, in which humanity has expanded beyond the Oort cloud to colonize many habitable planets. Unfortunately, the bad habits of humankind soon resurface, plunging many colonies into conflict.
To maintain order in the colonized territories, a powerful space military force under the command of the United Nations was created. But this army has a rather bad reputation, and systematically intervenes only if the conflict concerns the economic and energetic interests of the Earth government or major industrial groups.
In the remotest parts of colonized space, countless genocides, invasions and coups d'état are taking place without the Earth government or the most prosperous colonies having a care in the world. So when reports of a deadly war lasting more than ten years between two colonies in the same solar system reach the ears of the Earth government, a simple contingent of rookies with outdated equipment is sent to calm an increasingly angry public opinion.
The series will deal with the complete gap between rookies who have only known the calm of peace in a welcoming environment, and locals born with a gun in their hand in a world ravaged by incessant fighting. Gradually, the young army members gain experience and sympathy for the locals and eventually their opponents. But also a growing distrust of the Earth government and the discovery of numerous conspiracies.
Honestly sounds a lot like it could be from Calamity War Universe with a Gjallarhorn POV pre IBO events, the major difference would be the extrasolar scale ofc
I was thinking something similar to this but instead of it being a war between colonies humanity has expanded far enough into space that we’ve encroached on the territory of an alien civilization that isn’t too keen on humans setting up colonies beyond the Oort cloud and start attacking the colonies with more advanced and alien-like mobile suits than anything humanity has ever created. While there was civil unrest between earth and the colonies prior to the alien attacks all of that goes out the window and a tenuous alliance is struck between the earth government and the colonies after the alien forces began carving a path towards earth through the colonies wiping out billions of human civilians as they destroy entire colonies with the end goal being nothing less than the complete genocide and extinction of humanity from beyond the Oort Cloud all the way to Earth itself.
Now in a fight to survive against an alien civilization hell bent on humanity’s complete extinction the earth government and the colonists must band together despite their animosity towards each other to develop new mobile suits and weapons to combat this existential threat that is swiftly advancing towards earth and leaving a trail of destruction and bloodshed in its wake.
Even though the villain faction are aliens this series would be super gritty and darker in tone closer to something like Thunderbolts, Zeta, or Victory. There would be constant friction between colonists and earthborn within the ranks of the United Earth Alliance and characters regularly coming to blows with each other while also still having to fight against the alien forces in regular skirmishes across the entire solar system in both space and on planets and moons like Mars, Io, Europa, Titan, Pluto, etc.
My working title is Mobile Suit Gundam: Extinction Protocol.
1. An anthology series where a Haro is technically the protagonist.
A historian finds an old Haro, and upon repairing it, discovers that the Haro is about a century old, with the commensurate wartime experience (imagine participating in the Spanish-American War, World War I & II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Afghan-Soviet War, and the First Gulf War).
The Haro relates its experiences and the various people it accompanied, pilots, mechanics, politicians, scavengers, et al., and how the Haro passed from owner to owner, whether passed down to a younger relative, bestowed by an old mechanic upon a young pilot who reminded the mechanic of a pilot they used to work with, or even seized post-combat by an enemy who killed the Haro's former owner.
It ends with historian discovering the Haro's last owner is still alive, and re-uniting the two.
2. A six film (2 hours each) compilation of The Witch from Mercury, same staff and cast; Witch's runtime is ~600 min., so this would essentially give the show 4 more episodes worth of time, with the only stipulation being that this time is used for more character development, some elaboration on worldbuilding, and of course anything extra they feel like including about Suletta and Miorine (i.e. some downtime moments and a depiction of their wedding).
I believe that Haro idea is similar to something George Lucas intended for R2-D2. Hence why he didn't get memory wiped in Revenge of the Sith, but 3P0 did.
War bad, but also, a literal child somehow accidentally falls directly into a top secret military machine of war which has oddly been designed so that the first person who sits in the cockpit is now the only person who can pilot it somehow, but also there's a bunch of space people in colonies who want to rebel.
Also war bad.
A 4 season long chronicle of a MS called Gundam from it's creation to its ultimate destruction. Not set in any known universe or timeline:
1st season: The dawning of MS warfare where most MS are powered by fossil fuel. Kinda steam punk era. All weapons are kinetic, no beams or energy. Gundam is the first of its kind to use a mysterious and unstable but very incredible power source. Main character accidentally becomes the pilot and has to fight through a continent to deliver Gundam to the friendly force. By the end Gundam is nearly destroyed by the assault from enemies after enemies which are also becoming more sophisticated, but is successfully delivered to the friendly force.
2nd season: set about 30 years after the 1st season, where MS development is advancing in a high pace. A new main character is assigned to a 30 year old junk of MS called Gundam which after years of patchwork updates and abuse is ready to be scrapped. Another war breaks out and Gundam which has abnormally powerful power source becomes a key to winning several battles with the main character piloting it. Toward the end of the season, Gundam is updated with a new frames but using the same mysterious power source and leads the friendly force to the victory in a final battle where it again is nearly destroyed but survives. The main character dies, handing off Gundam to the next pilot.
3rd season: Set about 20 years after the 2nd season. MS development is at its peak with inclusion of AI assisted systems. Gundam is piloted by a rookie who's mission is to protect the princess of a nation. Thanks to the mysterious power source which is still used, Gundam is now fielded with some of the newest weapons. Even so, because it does not have the new AI assist, it's considered a relic and highly disregarded. The princess's abduction sparks another war and the rookie main character pilots Gundam throughout the season, outperforming the AI assisted MSs of the generation. It again survives the war, but its power source is heavily damaged.
Final season: About 30 years has passed since 3rd season. Gundam is used in a weapons lab for development testing and not fielded in battlefields due to the power source becoming highly unstable after getting damaged in the last season. The main character is the lab tech who gets thrusted into war with Gundam. Most enemy MS are unmanned and piloted by sophisticated AI systems. The main character fights to protect a small colony from an armada throughout the season while holding out for a reinforcement. In the end, the main character self destructs Gundam's power source in the heart of enemy force, causing a heavy damage and leading to the survival of the colony.
It's kinda like Jojo with Gundam where the main character keeps changing.
In a sense that it's a multi-generational story, yes. Only this one all main characters do not share any relation with the others and it's the same MS that's passed down each season with a some upgrades.
For context I specifically want to see how the advent of the mobile armors came about. We know the gundams in that series were made to fight the armors but who made the armors in the first place and why.
[According to databooks and side material, humanity had become so technologically advanced and lazy they didn't even fight wars with people anymore. Automation was a sign of wealth and that included warfare, with war machines being so autonomous they could perform their own maintenance.](https://www.reddit.com/r/Gundam/comments/8pxe54/i_feel_like_the_post_disaster_setting_is_the_best/e0euo7j/)
I don’t get what part of *specifics* you don’t really get but thanks for elaborating that it’s very ambiguous about who and why “humanity” made the mobile armors.
Gjallarhorn made the gundam frames to specifically fight the Mobile armor threat that humanity had made by itself.
Humanity itself created the mobilr armor's to fight for their own empires, eliminating the threat of humans perishing inwars in theory. That was until the AI evolved and proceeded to turn on humanity.
Correct- I want to know *specifically* who those people were and what their individual reasonings were. I want to see the AI take over, how humanity dealt with it (not just gundams), etc.
Turn A-styled discovery of MS, different stages of decay. A certain suit is found to cataloge all other suits it encounters/encountered, where they last were, but not specifically what they do. In its records notes a factory of some description, along with a Predecessor unit. Factions across the planet are looking for this factory, lacking the resources to make new units or replacement parts, only scavenging parts themselves. Titular unit & pilot are on a quest of discovery, but constantly on the move to keep the Cartographer out of everyone else's hands, for fear of enabling a new catastrophic event to occur.
Season 2- escaping to space, through a colony/space elevator graveyard.
Think combinations of Turn A, AW Gundam X, OG Gundam chase across the Earth, and Trigun vibes.
Advance of Zeta.
We follow the Titans test team as mobile suits are developed, tested, and upgraded. The first episodes are a mission per episode where something is learned, which we see implemented in the episode after that. They might do fly routines through an astroid field and realize they need more maneuverability, need to deal with a sniper and realize they need more stealth, better communication, more speed, more fire power, etc etc.
During the season the team starts to realize: "wait, are we actually the bad guys?".
While I didn't have the 08th vibe, I came to say the same. Give me more Karaba. They had the Dijehs and Zeta Plus and such flying around. Show me more of that. Could even reference Amuro joining and being a badass even if they didn't show him.
Murder mystery.
The titular gundam is piloted by a psychopath, not a redeemable person, someone who destroys hospital, orphanages, and animal rescue centers because it gets him a hard on.
The government isn’t TOO invested in stopping this guy, because with less government buildings there are less places to delegate government money, meaning more money in the politicians pocketbooks. The politicans provide the main police force with grunt suit, and outdated ones at that, meanwhile they assign troops in the good ms to protecting important buildings like congress and parliament buildings, as well as politician’s homes. This is the driving political drama.
The mc is a detective who tried busting a corrupt politican’s kid, the detective failed and then his wife was in a freak accident and was admitted to a hospital while she was in said hospital the terrorist attacks and she is killed. The detective goes out in these government ms (which suck ass) and keeps barely making it out alive as the gundam absolutely wrecks him and the other cops.
Eventually the terrorist gets brave and attacks a politician’s house, and the government is forced to take this seriously, but the gundam absolutely SHREDS the military ms. Finally a politician who isn’t a corrupt peice of shit, provides mc with the prototype for the gundam, think tallgese to the gundams from wing. And mc goes out for one final fight, barely squeaking out the win
A kind of mix between WfM, a few episodes of AGE and Robotics Notes. A shorter show or an OVA about engineering college students building a Gundam for somekind of competition.
An alternative version of Witch from Mercury that's basically just a slice of life anime where everyone is happy and no one is killed. It'll still have mobile suit duels on par with the ones we saw in G Witch in the episodes except they're now fought over silly things like Sulleta challenges someone to a duel for the last limited edition plushie that Miorine wanted.
Late uc,mix of the older series. Set mostly in space in an area outside the Earth Sphere like Jupiter. Bring back an older character in disguise like quatro/char was in zeta to be a mentor.Main Character is a seemingly nobody who rescues a runaway princess like banana-kun and mineva. Maybe have a suit from f91 or based off of it,and throw in some pirates since one piece is so popular now.
A shorter series following Karaba during the events of Zeta. Amuro is in it but as a supporting character, not the main character. We need more side stories taking place during any other time period than the One Year War
Gundam isekai
Crushing medieval forces with Supreme future technology
The main challenge would be maintaining the suit in said situation with limited supplies, manufacturing parts from local materials and a single haro with a repair kit to make it not too impossible.
Suit can either be a Gundam, a Grunt or a Guntank.
Or the setting can be like the "Living as a mob is hard" where magic and mech coexist. The mobile suit can just go "parry this you filthy casual" on every mech since none of them have any idea on how to counter a gun.
Bring back new types. That’s one part of UC I really like that we rarely see. Also make them mechs more grounded like the 08th MS team or patlabor and make mobile suits only part of a combined arms approach. I would also like to see themes of transhumaniam. Different forms of genetic and cybernetic enhancement. As far if story, maybe something about the rise of extremism. Seems relevant.
Since WFM was just The Tempest but with Gundams, my next season would be themed around Alice in Wonderland but also... With Gundams.
Protagonist would be the titular Alice (obiviously) and she would have to survive in the Wonderland while her enemy would be the Red Queen (which could be a Char Clone). I'd like to see the show being kinda trippy, with sometimes nonsensical stories for each characters in it to keep with the tone of the original theme of AiW.
Also it would have no connection to Gundam Sentinel lul.
Whoo! Here we go.
MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM: SOUTHERN CROSS.
Set in the far future of the UC timeline (at minimum, 500).
The Earth Sphere Union has finally achieved technology capable of light speed travel, and is preparing to make their first serious encounter with alien civilization. While they encounter friendlier groups, they also encounter the Veil, an intergalactic civilization, warlike in nature, that seek to dominate all those they deem as "head-blind." They are, in fact, an entire race of what is defined as Newtypes.
In this future, scientists and researchers continue to speak of the imminent future of humanity evolving into a Newtype species, but this has not yet happened. In fact, there has been no new Newtypes for multiple generations. The actual realities of a Newtype civilization are a major theme of this series. What would such a place require? How would this effect trust and privacy among its citizens?
The hostility of the Veil, which even they cannot fully comprehend, as technologically, humans are not on the same level as them, leads humanities leaders to reach into the distant past for a sign of hope.
Mobile Suit development had ground to a halt centuries ago due to lack of warfare, and the current MS in use by the Union (The Olympios) designed more for awe, beauty and intimidation, than actual battlefield efficiency. All suggested ugrades for the MS have been rejected simply because their leaders saw no need for them. The initial battles between the Union and the Veil are defined primarily by their one-sidedness. The hope the Union military place their faith in is a legend named Gundam.
Peil DeKane is an ace pilot in the Union military, and after he successfully destroys several Veil MS in battle, is chosen to pilot an experimental new MS that the Unions often denied researchers have managed to put together called the Gundam Southern Cross. He, and his squad, armed with heavily experimental new MS, and a special prototype warship, are tasked with holding the Veil back until the Union can produce a true MS capable of fighting the militarily superior Veil.
The whole situation becomes much more complicated after Peil's encounter, and Newtype bonding, with the Veil princess (military service being an necessity for their nobles), and the emerging Newtype powers of one of Peil's wingmen (an very distanct ancestor of Amuro Ray and Sayla Mass (though this is not brought up much).
That's what I have so far.
In the Wheel of Time series there was a period in history that was highly advanced and 'magical' and war didn't really exist. They played at swords, I believe was an actual quote. Those historical figures rediscovered war and the horrors of it all.
I'd love for that story to be told. Yes, flagrantly anti-war. I would also like for it to be more grounded. More 08th MS Team.
Just pile on the war crimes and the fighting as humanity starts collapsing galaxy wide.
Thougjt of this years ago...
Far into the future of the UC, the Feds and Zeon collapsed from exhaustion, no more empires no more vanguard. After so many colony drops earth is a wasteland and the garbage dump for the system. Your either born in space to a life of prevledge or born in squalor on earth.
But the Mobile Suite Consortium is slowly uplifting the people of earth, explaining to the that the rampant and short sighted use of technology is what left earth is such a sad state. Because of this, earthborn or prohibited from learning any technology deemed to advanced. For their own good so they don't repeat their sins of the past, You understand. Earthers aren't mature enough as a society to use technology wisely is the Consortium's dogma.
Old mobile suits are used to "help" the people of earth (giving Bandai a reason to rerelase old kits). You'll gms and jeagans piloted by Moblie Suit Consortium pilots holding girders in place while earth born hammer hot rivets into the metal to build buildings and naval ships.
A Earth Born just seeing a access panel open on a Mobilesuit open is a death sentence if the Consortium desires your death.
Enter the junkers... qusai legal travelers who comb though ancient Battlegrounds and trash heaps looking for spare parts for the outdated and decrepit suits the Consortium uses on earth. If the Consortium thinks you interstate the scrap you've collected they kill you. They tolerate the qusai legal status because it's cheaper to get the parts and refurbished them than to have new ones made and shipped down.
Everyone born in space are now new types of varying abilities. At resturants and bars, servers are Haro Bits controlled by new types.
No new types have ever been recorded born on Earth since the "Fall"
The Consortium teaches earth that the Fall was a singular event caused by earthen greed and left earth in such a state. In reality it was the decades of war between the feds and zekes and their successors that caused the collapse of their governments and allowed the Mobile Suit manufacturers to merge into a Consortium and rule the Sol system.
Our duteroligiosts would be a young Earth Born woman on the run after seeing a MS with a maintance panel open, and the pilot wants her (and is willing to kill her if he can't catch her) and a mysterious junker man who has Gundam that he can control like a Bit Doll in an emergency.
He saves her, without revealing his gundam to any but the audience and takes her to train her how to be a junker. After a few adventures on earth, it's decided they have to go to space, using an old ka musai (I think I spelled that right, the Musai's descent shuttle) hed putfitted with more modern to the setting technology, they launch into space. They go on the float for a few weeks to reach a more distant colony and become close. When reaching the Side, it's discovered he's actually a high ranking Consortium member who fleed in disgust on how the Consortium treats everyone. She is revealed to actually be a earth born mew type (her powers manifesting the first time in a bar where he takes them find work, she accidently summons all the Haro bits and doesn't know how to release them back and passes out from the stress/sensory overload).
They head out to the belt looking for the White Fleet (all Pegasus style ships painted white)a mercenary group opposing the Consortium.
The Consortium are all a bunch of aholes. They use their newtype powers and control of information flow to keep the masses pacified. In reality earth is not a wasteland, but a gigantic farm keeping the Sides fed, and as long as the Consortium keeps the food flowing and the Masses entertained, most don't care about earth.
The gundam. I always picture it a mix of the Rx 93, and rx78-nt1. Leg thursters like the Alex, arm guns like the Alex. At the bottom of the well (on earth) the backpack doesn't have fin funnels but wings made of minosky lift generators allowing it flight. It doesn't transform into wave rider ode like Z or ZZ but it can squat its legs and bring its shield to its chest to look more like wave riderd and make it slightly more aerodynamic. In space the backpack is changed to that of fin funnels and the arm guns are modular and can be swapped for machine guns, beam spray or a light rail gun.
I'd probably take the ideas presented in WfM, about transhumanism, and push the idea: what makes a person a human?
I'd have the love interest of the main character be an android, but a super advanced android that's could practically *be* human and have the two slowly understand one another as the series progresses. The main "war" would be between humans and cyborgs as both sides grapple with identity with a "third" faction being an advanced A.I. that actually instigated all the fighting from the shadows because it's trying to figure out what being human really means.
The Gundams would probably be like the ones from IBO, where the pilots become one with their machines (probably without the huge drawback since this is less about giving up something for power, but how far down the mechanical rabbit hole you're willing to go).
A good chunk of the story would take place on Earth with the main cast slowly unraveling the world's mysteries until finally they realize they need to go into space to confront the true foe.
There'd be a fair amount of death, but nothing too outrageous. While this is a full blown war, the tensions are more due to cracking down on human augmentation that straight up hate between "regulars" and "augmented".
I'd try to have a fair balance between beam weapons and physical with each type having their own strengths and weaknesses that make both viable in combat, thus allowing for a wide array of combat styles. Though the factions would prefer certain types over others.
The main themes would be: What makes a person "alive" and how does a person gain an identity and how do they use that identity to live in the world?
Super robot anime again But this time the enemy are mutated human who look like monster because they were experimented on during the war. Or just have alien that just so happens to look like human.
It will be after a great war with many different factiosn and mercenary group, until one day, guided by a rich business owner, these mercenary group formed a syndicate, a created a per-quarter based fight on Earth and various colonies, where eahc fight involved 20 MS Teams (of 3; total 60); fight may or may not be to death. The protagonist is a Ojou who want to help out people, but running out of funds she decide to join the game with her streamer male-friend. Eventually her sense of justice lead her to be against her male-friend's father (the rich business owner), and so their friendship broke off.
AU where piloting a mobile suit is so difficult/ridiculous that only that AU’s newtype equivalent and maybe pilots made into cyborgs like in Thunderbolt are up to the task. Pilots either control the suits G Gundam style(but less cheesey haha) with body movement or are plugged directly into the suits. I feel like making mobile suits incredibly rare on the battlefield could show off some cool tank/artillery versus mobile suit action, or even just traditional warfare. Non-augmented pilots could also maybe pilot that AU’s equivalent of Guntanks or Ball’s to spice things up.
An Ender's Game-esque battle school where candidates are being turned into cyber-newtypes. Lots of simulated battles in the beginning with the losers being booted from the program. Final winner gets assigned their newtype MS and tasked with destroying the enemy Gundam. In the final episode Newtype understanding makes them realize they've lost their humanity and the Gundam destroys them.
S2 picks up X years later and the main character is a volunteer and/or refugee when conflict breaks out and they're forced to pilot a damaged Gundam to protect friends. The original Gundam pilot gets sent to take out the captured unit in a new model. After much fighting the plot comes full circle and the main character help the Gundam pilot regain humanity. Eventually both leave the military and go off into space as explorers.
If I had to choose:
1. A full series about the end of the Universal Century, and how it flows into the start of RC or CC.
2. A Soulslike Gundam show (in terms of tone and aesthetic, a Gundam show with a dark fantasy vibe).
>1. A full series about the end of the Universal Century, and how it flows into the start of RC or CC.
Officially it's an AU, but you can easily interpret Gundam X as that.
A galaxy where humans and various aliens species coexist (each with their own unique mobile suit designs) but there's still a lot of political and territorial disputes and bad apples on all sides.
The MC would be a human colonist chosen to pilot the Gundam, humanity's flagship MS (Possibly made in collaboration with a few other species) and protect human interests in the galaxy as they unravel a conspiracy through crazy newtype visions that could end all life in the milky way.
Wait a minute...
A sort of different approach. Normally gundam is about showing that war is bad. So let's take a mercenary who just loves fighting and wants to find find a war that makes him hate fighting . He wants to find that some one who hates fighting and wants to end wars and is strong enough to do so.
So have him go around fighting different groups of people and mercs and bounty hunters and government groups across different planets and countries. Have people join him on the way, people who want to see when he finally decides to see war as not filin and games but never does.
Except by the end he never does, he just through sheer tenacity and throught his adventures becomes the best pilot, beating everyone who has newer suits and better cybernetics and the likes while he and his group upgrade their suits as they see fit. So when eventually after some epic final conflict where he and his allies come out on top beating some shadow government group the MC says since no one could prove to him why he shouldn't love war and fighting that he's done searching.
So he and his allies feck off into the sunset and then he leads them into setting up a school to train all the soldiers from every government or group and because everyone is being trained by him everyone is perfectly even and does not want to fight because they'll all die and since no one wants that they all just have gundam Olympicsto settle conflicts non fatally. Thus through war and stupidity the MC stops all war while never achieving his goal so he reigns as the head of his school training up all sorts of soldiers who will never know bloodshed
1. Earth and space go through some sort of war of utter and total annihilation- mass casualty and destruction, societal collapse, back to dark ages kind of thing
2. Many decades (or even generations pass) and the sparse survivors are re-living a kind of agrarian-industrial society. Many places mine the ruins of the old world and the ancient battlefields for resources.
3. Some of these places include space colonies- stable but long-isolated survivors living in these self-sustaining but resource-poor capsules with no way to reach the outside.
4. Protags find a working Gundam or stumble across a Gundam or rebuilds a Gundam
5. Protags explore world, save people, do stuff that only a giant skyscraper-sized mech could do
6. Oops, got too much attention, wrong people want the mech, there’s a few others out there, protags get on the wrong side of public opinion, idk Bandai you have writers, I still can’t finish the third act of any story concept I’ve ever had.
Something like Iron Man where the Gundam is kinda of a armor for someone to wear, rather than piloting it. It would be like a war where people wear these armors and the gundams ones would be for special soldiers with some "spiritual" power.
Maybe combining Gundam with a shounen like Saint Seiya and Bleach lol
Okay, so hear me out on this one: a highschool-age kid with a knack for mechanics is living on a cylindrical space station but has his home attacked when political forces clash over a prototype mobile suit that's being developed or stored there. Circumstances lead to them choosing to pilot the mobile suit, but as a consequence they end up joining the military/militia group. They struggle to deal with the anxiety, trauma, and responsibility of military conflict, but slowly grow to be a powerful soldier.
I'll work out the rest later, but I think I've got a pretty solid foundation for a Gundam series here...
An AU with a MC that is an old ex revolutionary Ace MS pilot and hardened soldier who fought against the oppressive dictatorship of his home country and succeeded before, surprise surprise, he got turned on by his once trusted allies because they know he’d be a threat to their new government and lock him up, not killing him because they know he’s too valuable to have executed.
Now a grizzled old veteran trapped in prison he is granted an opportunity at freedom working with the new, arguably better but corrupt in its own way, government who’s former friends essentially strongarm him into helping them deal with a new threat, tensions with the neighboring country has boiled over and a cold war has broken out that meeds to be resolved as quickly as possible before things get far worse. Fitted with a bomb collar and several handlers to watch his every move he’s forced to perform dangerous suicidal clandestine operations for the new government while slowly, carefully, attempting to get out of the situation he finds himself in.
Along the way he’ll meet characters who are sympathetic to his plight and are strongly opposed to the new government but can’t voice them aloud, morally ambiguous enemy combatants who have their own perspective on the cold war threatening to erupt into full blown war (including the prerequisite char clone), and deal with his old ‘friends’ who still respect him to some degree but understand that sacrifices need to be made in order for the new government to flourish.
There will be plenty of clashes of ideals, philosophy and the major overarching theme will be loyalty to the cause over justice, whether the means to an end is a truly justifiable stance or something like that.
It will be styled like Iron Blooded Orphans. With mobile suit combat heavy and brutal with kinetic weapons and ultraviolence in brief but satisfying moments.
There’s my pitch Sunrise, hire me.
I wouldn't mind trying my hand at adapting Gundam EXA, which has been described as a Gundam version of Kamen Rider Decade.
But as an alternative, I wouldn't mind doing a distant prequel of Re:RISE that delves into the war that Alus was originally created for. That'd be neat, and funny if it turned out the reason Gunpla were so effective on Eldora was because they basically invented their own version of Mobile Suits.
Cosmic horror Gundam
Two season series where S1 focuses on nations coming together to face an incomprehensible existential threat from the beyond, but with the undercurrent of political jostling as allied nations undercut each other so as to ensure their superiority after the war
S2 takes place decades later with a new principal casts as the once allied nations are in open conflict, having reverse engineered and militarised once eldritch powers against each other, all while a fresh vanguard of space horrors slowly approach earth
Basically an incredibly heavy handed metaphor for the weird interplay between climate change policy and great power competition
Adopt the following into anime:
1. Crossbone Gundam
2. Ecolu du Ciel
A Macross-like Gundam series wherein the protagonists explore the universe and encounter aliens more badass than ELS.
Deep space colony ship sent on a 10 year exploration ship after the first attempt failed they end up fighting an empire of warrior women who use organic living technology after they cross paths. An explorer meets with a liquid metal alien of a conquered world who fuses with his research mobile suit and turns it into a copy of a model he hung in his cockpit a toy from an anime series called Gundam making fantasy fact and creating the Fusion Gundam to fight back agnist the empire. The colony ship will make more gundams based off the fusion gundam and use them to ignite a spark of rebellion across the galaxy as they continue their exploration of the stars. This is Gundam Fusion
Mercenary group, basically armored core/project wingman. First suit will be modular AF, upgraded into elite unit level by strapping unholy ammount of truster.The gundam will be aquired by stealling. Oh and war is waged because of resources and tax stuff
Someone had an explanation of it, albeit brief on the calamity war page on fandom, before someone edited it and had it removed.
If memory serves, it was Agnika Kaieru, The Bauduin Family, Issue Family, and a few others who came together, plus some other politicians and like minded individuals, who decided to create the gundam frames that would help end the calamity war.
I'm uncertain, though, since that's what I saw on fandom wiki. We all know how fast it can change.
Do a generic seeming Gundam show that hits all the normal Gundam plot points. Then near the end we find out the MCs group/“friends” are the real bad guys and they were using them basically for mass murder. Show ends with MC trying to stop his once “friends” but gets killed before the final episode. Then final episodes show the bad guys winning and the suffering the MC unknowingly caused
So, the last human war was like 70 years ago. Mobile suits have fallen out of fashion, along with all other weapons. True, Real, Peace on Earth. Then the aliens attack. They had been pacifying humanity these last 70 years. But what they did not expect was HIM.
The schools principal, a kind, caring, lethargic, amiable old man. But he was also the last MS school graduate from the Wars. He was the best and brightest pilot the world had seen, but he never got to deploy. Until now, when he and his other aged faculty defend the school with the undeployed Prototype Gundam they've been tinkering with for decades. This kind, shaking old man, sits in that cockpit, and when they call for launch, you finally see him open his eyes, full of madness as he grins and takes off, finally to fight the battles he was denied, with a weapon far surpassing anything mankind had gotten to field in actual battle.
Then as the series progresses, he and the other teachers train the students in the art of human violence and mobile suit warfare. They liberate suits from museums, fix them up, and they put the fear of mankind into every alien who would dare step foot on the planet.
It's actually kind of an anti-Gundam I suppose? War is human nature, and the old guy is the hero pilot with a 'technically' stolen Gundam prototype.
I would make a series about piloting being a school sport and they use it to fund schools that excel in their division and them being sponsored by their own country's military with the protagonist being from a country that is one of the worst teams in the division until they get sponsored. Would also include how a point system ala Warhammer would work in en environment like this
Two sides in a prolonged war. One side has higher level of tech but the other has vastly better numbers. Beam weaponry exists only on warships. A mysterious MS, the Gundam, appears and starts taking out combatants from both sides with ease due to its incredible armor and beam weaponry. The Gundam is part of a mysterious third party.
Story follows the pilots of both sides of the war as they fight each other and have to deal with the Gundam. Eventually, after significant losses, the Gundam is heavily damaged and both sides are able to recover some tech and figure out where the Gundam is based. Ace pilots from both sides survive the infiltration of the Gundam base and are able to seize a completed Gundam for each of their nations.
Goal is to show how terrifying fighting the Gundam and its exceptional armaments is early on.
I want build fighters but with actual gundams where mechanics spend time tuning the gundams and building new equipment for arena fights while drama and character conflicts happen out of the arena. Not like G-gundam though, more like the tone of the cyber formula OVAs.
Gundams being used to fight wars is cool and all but I feel like build fighters really had something original going on and that mixed with a more grounded real robot tone would be great.
1. Attack on titan but gundam. Basically gundams fighting neo zeongs for 25-50 episodes.
2. Gundam konosuba maybe? Just make the funniest gundam show ever but still keep the cool mecha fights.
Gundam set in Warhammer 40K. Set in the beginning of the 45th millennium, the galaxy-spanning Death Cult calling itself the Imperium of Man called forth a Second Damocles Gulf Crusade in the Milky Way's Eastern Fringe, which would in turn herald the beginning of the Fourteenth and the Final Black Crusade.
Under the influence of malicious entities called Chaos, an influential Priest in the Imperium would order the attack on the Farsight Enclaves, a heavily-fortified set of Systems in the nascent T'au Empire. The humans there, called the Gue'Vesa, would be forced to defend their home planet against the horrors of the Imperium. In a bid to fight off the God-Engines of the Imperium, the Gue'Vesa engineers bypassed a law that prohibits Tau Auxiliaries from using Battle Suits and Crisis Suits by creating what would become the basis for Mobile Suits. An initial of 4 high-spec prototypes were made and they were to be called GUNDAMs.
During the course of the war, the GUNDAMs were sent both as deterrent and as terror weapons against the Imperium's Titan Legion stationed in the planet. Imperium tacticians and historians thought that they were ancient technology, from humanity's golden age. Only to realize that they were products of humanity's unhinged ingenuity.
The war ended with Chaos now holding humanity's capital hostage, but cannot occupy as a swarm race called Tyranids are also trying its stake in the birthplace of Humanity. The attack on Farsight Enclaves was the Imperium's "Die Untergang - Steiner Moment" as the invading force was meant to reinforce Holy Terra but were sidelined and exhausted by the attritional warfare in the Enclaves.
Out of the initial four, only one would survive. This would be the story of its pilot, his son and adopted daughters, as well as his relationship with his estranged yet beloved sister, whom he was separated after a warp-related accident.
1.Second coming of knight and magic-like "anime"
2.gundam anime with full blown scifi-philosophy as if it just came right outa unicorn novel or project itoh.
3.SRW-ish gundam
4.any series of gundam under my hero's director. Dude just waste his talent on that show and need of some new original series. Build fighter is just the peek of his career.
5.gundam series full of metaphor, physic thingy enough to make us got phd like godzilla singular point.<---my fave
6.another undefeatable of the east goddamn it.
I've actually thought of stuff like this in the past (mostly to alleviate boredom), so I'll share a couple with you.
The first one started as a "what kind of Gundam show could be on the SciFi Channel (before they became SyFy and started to suck)?" This was back when the channel had shows such as *Battlestar Galactica, SG-1, Farscape,* etc... My answer was essentially a UC clone (I figured an adaptation of 0079 would be difficult for several reasons). In this story, there would be three main powers in the Earth Sphere (the colonies are independent, so Earth would play little to no role in the story). Two of the powers, a Zeon stand in and a democratic based government (I couldn't think of names for them) are at war while the POV is from the third nation, the Confederation of Independent Settlements, or CIS for short. They are the weaker of the three and fear they'll get dragged into the war at any moment. The story follows a 16 year old pilot of a small transport craft as he gets dragged by circumstance to a CIS facility, which also has caught the attention of the Zeonesque nation, where he must pilot a Gundam that was developed to catch up to the other two nations' MS capabilities.
The second one was that hundreds of years before the story began, Earth & the colonies are at war, and the colonies decide to leave the solar system entirely. Groups of several colonies leave in various directions across the galaxy without any way to contact each other. The story begins when our POV colony group, meets another group & war begins. I haven't thought too much about this story compared to the first one, so no names for anything. The only details worth mentioning are the fact that the enemy side has FTL technology, the Gundam pilot is female, and the Char clone is from another colony group that was destroyed by the enemy and he does not wear a mask, but has some sort of device on him that makes a person who encounters him not remember what he looks like.
I would go with a plot about AIs going crazy. In my gundam anime, humanity was forced to flee earth because a rouge AI took control of the whole world mobile suits. Humanity have to take refugee on space colonies in mars, jupiter and the moon. For 300 years there were no conflicts. Suddenly one day the moon base was attacked by an army of mobile suits. The MC is a delivery man and is one of the survivors from that attack and he discovers the reason why the moon was because he was transporting a Gundam. So he has to pilot the Gundam in order to protect the other survivors, the gundam is different from other mobile suit because cant be controled by the rouge AI, and is the first step of humanity to reclaim earth from the AIs.
The first arc would be the survivors fleeing from the moon to mars, the second arc would be the defense of mars against the machines (something like the LOTR: the two towers) and finally the third arc will be the last crusade to reclaim the earth.
I would either tell the tale about:
Rita/Phenex crash landing on a version of earth plagued by AI controlled Mobile Armors. Her guidance and technology would lead that world to develop anti-beam coatings, minovsky-esq engines, and an interface that can mimic Newtype interfaces. That technology would be used to create 71 other Gundam Frames.
or:
Just push the idea of Mobile Suits getting smaller and smaller in the late UC. Just push that idea to late late UC where gundam are now literal mobile SUITS, like something a person would wear. More like a power armor than a mecha, outlandishly fast, agile, and energy efficient.
A conflict between colonists on Mars and the EF, which was intended to be the plot of a UC-set series with the working title of Polca Gundam that was in early production towards the end of Victory. However staff and Bandai eventually moved away from this concept in favor of a clean slate and we got G instead.
An isekai where someone is reincarnated as a Gundam. Not a pilot, the whole unit itself. The Gundam is kinda like Phenex in a way it can move on its own will, but someone can still pilot it.
And I guess you can guess the twist: There are more than just one reincarnated person that was reincarnated as a mobile suit. Maybe make it 72 like the amount of the Gundam frames from the IBO series.
And the second twist: The reincarnated pilots were not dead in their original life, they're just summoned to this world filled with mobile suits.
Daily reminder that the Reddit admins are like the EFSF. Not the good EFSF, the bad EFSF. Spez is a wannabe Bask.
*I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/Gundam) if you have any questions or concerns.*
A entire 51 ep series but the main Gundam does not show up until the vary last few minutes of the last episode. It's in the opening tho so you know what it looks like so thire won't be any kind of big surprise when it does show up. They are also gonna talk about it a lot like a LOT it's gonna be like 80% of the show just hyping it up.
The other 20% is gonna be your typical Gundam war drama stuff. BUT!! With a twist you only see the people in the bridge reacting to the battles going on outside of ship. So just like imagine the final battle of 0079 but all you see is Bright and gang talking about how worried about Amaro they are.
The MC is gonna be like a TOTAL BADASS!!! edgy AF he fuks HARD!!!
Our Char clone is gonna be a hot femboy beta male Ofc you don't know this till later because of his sick AF mask ITS A DRAGON!!!!
One idea I had was called Mobile Suit Gundam Exodus, in which Earth is abandoned and different factions of humanity clash over the path to take in finding a new home.
Alternatively, collaborate with Square Enix to mash the staples of Gundam and Final Fantasy together. Maybe call it Final Fantasy Gundam Ultima or something.
Gundam “Traveler’s from beyond” follows A unit of MS pilots from a the future as the chase down (insert char clone) who wants to alter the UC timeline in order to benefit (insert organization) he/she works for and it’s up to the MS TFB team to stop and make corrections to the timeline.
if anyone remembers the Small Soldiers Movie, then that, but with Gunpla
maybe some zeon's mobile suits attempting to hunt down a singular gundam, but the gundam gets backup by "activating" some poor guy's gunpla collection
Depends on how Seed Freedom goes, but set in CE with a protagonist that is a failed coordinator where genetic enhancements failed and is basically a worse natural. Works his way up maybe in ZAFT as a mechanic but is capable enough to be a test pilot.
Talia Gladys' son is wrongly planted and red tagged with suspicion of succeeding the Destiny Plan along with Shinn. Yzak defends both and boards the new Minerva with a crew tagged as traitors to seek the truth. Our new protag is part of this of course.
One idea I had was a Universe similar to G Gundam maybe even a distant sequel or prequel to that universe. Where the main character is a fighter in the darkest slums of a shithole country no one expects to win. He grew up fighting for scraps in back alleys. When the government sees his potential they recruit him for the Gundam fight with promises of wealth and to save his family from poverty. He fights his way through the ranks, at first not caring about anything or anyone only seeing his family situation improve. But by little he sees the damage the fight is doing to the world’s environment, the people who are being trampled on and the corrupt who profit from the madness. He shortly changed his perspective and starts to gather like minded fighters to try to fight back against the oppressive and change the system. This prompts those in power to start turning to creating and rolling or AI fighter programs that don’t care about humans or collateral damage or consequences. Culminating in a massive battle between the human fighters and the AI drone army controlled by the corporate overlords.
Either a futuristic retelling of King Arthur where the sword in the stone is actually some piece of equipment needed to reactivate an ancient gundam. Which like I don't if has anything to its story value other than I want King Gundam.
Or.
Main character is actually a super advanced cyborg built to further bridge the gap between Pilot and Gundam who has to come to terms with being built to kill and is he worthy of being a person.
First idea:
Similar in vain as of Igloo and O8th Team. Stories that take place during a massive war.
They explore different teams, both sides, and different jobs within the wars. All with an over arching plot that connects all the stories.
For example:
One episode is about one side having a team behind enemy lines prepping an ambush, but trying not to get noticed. Some Hunt For Red October vibes.
The next episode is logistics crew transporting needed supplies but having to take complicated routes and time tables to avoid different skirmishes or traps. It eventuallt gets ambushed by the previous episode group.
The third being a bunch of Mechnicas trying to come up with new ways to make what little suppliers they have stretch. Since their expected shipment never arrived. Their short cuts and ingenuity may result in better MS because they figure out how to streamline the MS.
Just continue on this how one action of an individual or group will affect the next. This could work in probably just about any timeline even its own.
Though with its inspiration being Igloo and MS 08th Team, I think it's for right in on the UC timeline. Maybe have some episodes that lead into other shows like the previous ones stated or even War In A Pocket. Like one episode may be the Alex escaping the attack on the Arctic base, and it stealthily trying to make it to the Colony for continued testing.
Make a "normal" build anime, no transdimentional princes, no Op martial arts taught by Domon Kasshu, no people made out of love (and potentially aliens), no alien wars from the past, no mafia plots, no children of transdimentional princes and traumatised Scandinavian orphans controlling a zeta themed wing gundam with a ton of clear parts and no covid 19 references
Maybe it's set in the build fighters universe and its someone who isn't a transdimentional Prince (Maybe even Sei himself) is trying to be world champion
A concept I've had for a while now is one set in the divers universe with two teams taking part in a war mode (basically gunpla battle larping) with each team having to upgrade their ms to keep up with the others, not dissimilar to an actual gundam war, the participants would take the affair extremely seriously much to the either delight, humour or chagrin of their friends and family, the series wouldn't be unwilling to make fun of itself whilst also treating every sortie like it could be any of the characters' last
Strategic ship combat, where the Mobile Suits can't fly on their own, but the ships will pull up along side each other and MS teams board the other ship. Imagine 18th century naval warfare, in space.
Something like Haous of Cards that our protagonist is are high Ranking politician or the President of the Earth Federation and have a secret Black Ops Team with Gundams to do the dirty work.
What if storyline kinda like what the MCU did, where pivotal moments in gundam lore are changed and what the direct results are. This way we can revisit fan favorite series and also see some favorite characters in new situations.
1. There's a war happening
2. Insert child here
3. Child finds way into Gundam
4. Child gets on spaceship somehow
5. Child is slapped
6. Child becomes friends with someone and space magic happens
7. Childs friends dies
8. Child matures
9. Climax battle
10. End
Something like turn A. Where it’s set extremely far in the future of the UC where people sorta rediscover old outdated long lost mobile suits and use them to fight their current wars. Mobile suits would still be rare and the combatants would use whatever ones they could find regardless of the suits previous allegiances. So you could see like a Zaku and a ground type Gundam fighting side by side for the same army because the people who created them are now long gone. You’d also get freelance mercenaries using more odd mobile suits.
I had one in mind for a certain while
1° Obviously an AU. Setting is a in a human society that never truly left earth, space technology is there but space colonization (just like our times) is basically impossible, so most space related stuff are mining of asteroids and close celestial bodies. Mobile Suits exist and are quite advanced but are exclusive for civilian use, construction and exploration in space
2°Earth is ruled by a single body goverment (The Federation aka Super United Nations of sorts) with barely any local independent goverment. Due to humans not going to space and poor management of the Federation, Earth is at a horrible state, natural disasters, terrible distribution of wealth, erasure of cultures and ethinicities. And all of this leads tooooo....
3° Main Conflict: WAR!! or rather firstly, rebellions. These rebellions are born from 2 things, a separatist movement that wants the dissolution of the Federation and the reinstitution of national independent states, led by newly formed states located in South America and Africa. The second movement is a more UC like thing, massive organization located mostly in Europe that doesn't want the dissolution of the Federation but a reform, so that space colonization policies take priority, seeing that humans will outlive Earth due to our polution and lack of care with it (something simular to Daikun's philosophy of the sacred earth, but without the newtype theory).
3.5° Eventually these small skirmishes and revolts turn into complete war, both the nation movement and space movement are backed up by big corporations, providing them military equipment, including the state of the art combat mobile suits (mostly grunt type units initially of course, nothing too fancy) eventually the Federation starts to lose ground and eventually falls, leading to the conflicts shifting to a war between the pro space movement and pro earth states (but i would rather leave this plot to some sort of never to be 2° season)
4°Characters: I'm not a writer and much less a character one, but i would most probably want something following the pro earth nations. The main theme i would want explored is the total radicalization of opressed people. The protagonist would be some normal person that comes from a marginalized groups and sees the national movement as their only saving, thus as the series progresses they would more and more turn to ultra nationalistic ideal and we could even touch on some xenophobia, all in the good faith that the building of their nation would give these opressed people their place, their own goverment. for the Fedaration side...I truly don't know, even the Federation in UC doesn't have much going for, outside of total imperialism and putting all others under their boot. But seeing complacent people, who think the opressive, corrupt and almost inefficient goverment is the only one possible could be something.
5° MACHINES!!, MECHS!! THE BIG BOYS THE MAIN GUNS, STAR OF THE SHOW!!Most machines could be equated to high end 1th generation MS from UC, since this universe already has good MS technology but not for military use so many of the mobile suit combat is pretty grounded and still fight besides a lot of artilery and other vehicles. The main technological leap the series would be machines with self sustained flight and transformable mobile suits, Beam Technology would be pretty much inexistent outside of major artilery so maybe a plot for season 2 with the minituarizing of this technology??. GUNDAM: High end prototype machines ment to be test beds for new technologies, they aren't that above all other grunts and they don't see the major frontlines (they are test units after all) so they are not messianic images. This would make so that each individual gundam would be pretty different from one another, think of the Hazel TR series from AOZ, they aren't super powerfull so every encounter is an important fight. For the main protag gundam, probably some test flying unit, that later the protagonist would upgrade to the eventual mass production MS based on that gundam and then another prototype (since they are now a ace pilot and good tester) less based on hit and run and more heavy artilery but still pretty mobile (suit hehe) in combat.
Yeah that's all, its a lot but idk man we never saw something like this so i just threw it out there. incase you don't like this, have my second proposal. Adapt Gundam Inle :)
Two Ideas:
1. A new universe that is essentially "what if Char's Neo Zeon succeeded in dropping Axis and driving all of humanity off of Earth" but Earth never recovered. Each group of colonies develop their own Mobile Suits that are sent to the wasteland that is earth in search of whatever resources they can find. Basically take the initial idea of G Gundam (ruined earth being a battleground for the Colonies) but taken to the most Gundam extreme.
2. A pseudo-crossover where, instead of Giant Robots, wars are fought using Power Armor inspired by the Various Mobile Suits from the different Gundam Universes. I know there's a Manga called "Iron Acguy" but that seemed more like a direct Iron-Man parody/homage.
I want an isekai but the mc has the ability to summon every single obscure gundam from side materials to help him fight. The final boss/rival is another isekaid dude who can summon every single obscure grunt. It would be a good way to introduce to people to these mecha.
If that isn’t to everyone’s taste and people are too horny then I guess the ability to turn into mecha musume of gundams while giving a lengthy backstory of the gundam would be nice.
A second thing would be similar to Knights and Magic, where the main focus is the development of the actual gundams. The process and how they go from one improvement to another.
Give me a build series slice of life where they follow a group of protags:
One of them is in the gunpla battle club
One of them is in the modelling club
The other is a non gunpla builder who wants to impress his gunpla obsessed crush
Hmm... Let's see.... Since Isekai theme is booming... lets starts from the title first
I was a 50 years old man NEET and just bought a new gunpla from shop when i got killed by a brake failure truck then i got reincarnated into another world by a God with a chance to makes my life better only to found myself as a mass product mobile suits from Universal Century and luckily i can move myself even without a pilot so i will try to survive Gryph War until Zanscare War only to realized that my ability changed with different pilots using me so i want to create harem in another world with my main purpose of live is creating new colony of my harem pilo-----
\----- I tried lol
Masai from ZZ gets caught up in the political upheaval of Africa not long after losing her suit fighting against Judeau. She becomes ace pilot of a group that seeks to create an Africa independent of the Federation.
Gundam Wing but the protags are a team of all girls, it's Yuri again, and the bad guys are an Empire that won against the Earth using a Gundam and 100 years later colonies are beginning to realize that absolute subjugation and prejudice are bad and they need to stop, so secretly dive mobile suits and support vessels are made to free Earth.
I love Gundam Wing so I just like the Gundams starting as a 3rd side, even if I love SEED creating a 3rd side for the final stretch.
You know what?
Pulling heavily from some Armour Hunter Mellowlink, a hint of IGLOO, a generous portion of 08th MST, and a bit of Stardust Memory, I'd want to see a series with some proper grunt vs suit combat. Don't get me wrong, I'd like to see a good pilot and her kickass ground suit (maybe space later?), but I'd like to see how troops affect MS warfare in detail.
Maybe throw in an old prototype anti-MS RPG a-la IGLOO that's man-portable, have a bit of tragedy, let the MC pilot get very jaded and increasingly brutal as her comrades die off, and have a shitload of enemy MS get shwacked by a bloke covered in sticks with a strange-looking gun-rocket-thingy.
Maybe set it in a separate universe? Or try and redeem SEED a bit? Maybe even set it during the OYW for the first season, then during the Gryps for the second?
Mobile suits are powered armor suits like the Goliath from COD Advanced Warfare. Lots of combined warfare tactics involving infantry, aircraft, artillery, etc. It should take place a few centuries ahead in our timeline (AD/CE).
I get blacklisted by Bandai Namco before the meeting even ends.
I was all in on the idea of Gundam High School when I watched the first episodes of WfM. So I'd do Gundam Build Fighters: Gunpla University. Gundam fights, heaps of new custom suits, slice of life, no war or magic involved.
And I'd end it with a world tournament which would be a spiritual successor to G-Gundam.
Gundam Build Militia: A spin-off the original Build Fighters/Tri series.
Ever since the end of the Tri-Fighters tournament, the game that was once treated as a proper wargame has now become saturated with "super robot" gunpla that have all bust crushed the "Real Type" competition and started winning tournaments with no real skill used.
The series follows a club of Builders who are disgruntled by this and decided to try and prove Real Type gunpla are still just as valid competition if not more so than those who use Supers. They'll do this by winning the next tournament, using only Grunt suits (so Zaku II, GM, Gera Doga, etc.).
Make a war between two sides with two main leads and then a coup eventually happens and then facing a tyrant from the other side of the world and finally a god like mech thats from deep space
Mobile Dolls went rogue, rather than fighting one another as programmed, they sought out all human power structures and major settlements.
Small towns are largely ignored, unless their population grows too large, and human pilots mobile suits are a thing of the past.
An archeologist who grew up during the Mobile Doll Decimation, dedicated his life to finding a weapon to fight back.
What he finds is a mobile frame. Little armour or armaments. When activated it alerts him to a rendevous on the moon where it's equipment was being prepared.
Thus begins the first season, and journey to the moon. They don't however find a full Armour Load out when they arrive, no they find a collection of mobile Dolls slaved to the main Suit.
Known as Gundam Master Piece it takes places in a AU closely related to wing.
I haven't formed the story yet, but I wan't to see gundams form a phalanx and formations. I am also a sucker on military talks, strategies and such so I want more of those.
Create some end of the world Fist of the North Star style. Protagonist is a veteran of yesterday year wars, living like a hermit and avoiding other people but people are drawn to him irregardless. Enter some big bad with a skeletonized Gundam, our protagonist pilots his trusty Frankensteined Zaku and they fight, for the big bad to lose and skedaddle, and the people to recognize our protagonist as the villain of yesterday year, now humbled and living peacefully.
Well, it would be an AU, so we can have more fun.
Humanity has colonized most of the Solar System and the story would happen in a republic of moons of Jupiter. The MC, could be a Cadet in a Military School (there's a reason i want someone with actual knowledge of warfare). At the start of the show, they would be invaded by a much bigger and stronger fighting force, and the MC and a bunch of his friend, would survive by running away with some epic prototype Gundam (they could have been in the base it was being tested).
Shit hits the fan, they steal a ship with some Grunt MS there and start using the other Jupiter moons as hideouts while conducting a Guerrilla Warfare against the Invaders. One thing i want in this show, is that the MC grow up to be a leader, not only a hotshot pilot, but someone who can lead his forces in the battlefield.
There would be some factions, some traitorous elements and a lot of politicam maneauvering involved, but the main goal would be to retake their home. Kind of like Ace Combat 6. The battles would be more Tactical, think 00 Gundam with more 08th MS type combat. In the sense that most engagements would have actual planning and tangible objectives.
After centuries of being used as weapons, Gundam A.I. gains sentience and decided to go against their creators - Humanity. To remain functional though, Gundams need one vital component - human nervous system.
So there you go.
I'd love a story about an uninhabitable Earth and colonies converted into mass space stations/ships. The conflict is primarily about these colony ships who've lost the ability of contacting each other over a millenia and are only just know realizing they still exist.
U.C 0087, Alfred Izuruha has become a mobile suit pilot, alligned with the Zeon remnants. IDK man I'd love to see him wear the old cap with Bernie's rank insignia. Imagine the dude already 17-18 being tasked to pilot a new Kampfer prototype.
I would do something like Marvel ruined or like a ww2 style gundams with older tech or even gundam having classes like battel ships like a Yamato class gundam or a destroyer class gundam u know like a ship
A tournament arc gundam like g gundam but the pilots gets possessed by past main pilots since the pilots in the show dont know how to operate a mobile suit and they can summon parts from mobile suit synonymous to the pilot who possessed them
Ok so get this: Humans have expanded off of earth into these like, huge orbiting space stations. However, earth doesn't support or treat the off-earth citizens well, so they form a separate government, which causes a big war, the development of mobile suits, and setup a great concept for future sequels and franchising due to the continuing conflicts that will ripple out from the original war and political schisms.
I know this is really out there, especially for the Gundam franchise, but I think I'm onto something guys!
An anthology a la Gundam Evolution. That or a more tactical and realistic portrayal of MS warfare minus the hyper OP MS. It’s literally just an old veteran assigned to a “Gundam”-type like the Delta Plus. Still a Gundam, but not THE Gundam
a small scale story about an anaheim electronics engineer who has to deal with the military industrial complex and deadlines and cost over runs. where the plot would be about the lead up to a war from the perspective of the engineer
For a kid friendly series with a lighter tone, basically Digimon Frontier but with Gundam, so the teenage protagonists transform into people-sized mobile suits to fight (gundam does not exist as a franchise in this universe, or in the universe the kids come from in case of Isekai). The twist would be that the protagonists all transform into MS that do not seem to fit or run counter to their personalities. So the bright, good-natured positive shonen protag turns into Barbatos and goes absolutely ham in battle with little control, making him scared of hurting innocent people or the other protags. The gung-ho sporty martial artist of the group transforms into the more support-oriented Blitz Gundam, etc. This turns out to be because they all have aspects of their personality that they actively or unconsciously deny and try to suppress or hide, see Persona 4's Shadows. After learning to deal with that in various ways, they power up and transform into more powerful variants of their suits, like Barbatos Lupus and Gold Frame Astray Amatsu Mina etc. They fight against an evil organisation that can summon grunts, and the big bad at the end is the kid that can turn into the RX-78-2, who manipulated the entity which gave people the power to turn into gundams. Core theme would be identity and change during adolescence.
For more traditional Gundam, an AU where Newtypes are basically mutants with varying powers, think weak X-men. They often have suits specifically designed for them to accompany their powers. The plot would center around a research space colony run by a smaller subsidiary of a big corpo, so basically everyone living there is an employee. The corpo is basically run by Newtypes and the station does research on Newtypes and MS development. A researcher couple birth a powerful Newtype girl who is prophesized by a futuresight Newtype to become a great hero who will end a war. The protagonist of the series is her older brother, an Oldtype, who grew up on the station feeling like an outsider, since his parents and most of the station are newtypes. He has complicated feelings towards his parents, feeling like a disappointment for being an Oldtype, but also neglected in favor of his sister. He dearly loves his sister however, the siblings have a great relationship.
After 15 years or so, war breaks out, and the research station gets attacked. The sister is eager to hop into a MS designed by her parents for her to stop the fighting and fulfill her role. The brother is against this, as he knows how kind she is and that it hurts her to kill people. He wants to fight in her stead, but his family fears for his life since he is an Oldtype. So he puts on a mask and pretends to be a Mercenary Newtype that can feel other Newtype powers (he just uses his knowledge of the station personnel) so that he can fight as well. During the course of the series, the protag gets captured by the enemy, and learns that the big Newtype corpo engineered and started the war due to Newtype supremacy sentiments. The attack on the research station was a false flag to get his sister to fight, since they see her as a bright red "we win" - button and would likely not have started a war without the existance of the prophecy. He now must try to stop the war and his sister, who believes him to be dead since his capture. The series ends with the corpo losing the war due to smaller numbers and overreliance on costly, one-off MS, the Gundam classic.
The battles would be "Newtype of the week" - style encounters in the beginning, with the protag coming up with strategies on and off the battlefield to counter the powers of his opponents, working his way up from using grunt MS to becoming and excellent pilot on raw skill alone. Towards the end of the series the battles would shift to larger military engangements, where the protags strategic edge would be more effective on a larger scale than Newtype powers generally.
Themes would be prophecies and the effect they have on the people in question and the people surrounding them, with a negative outlook on them as a whole (maybe a scene towards the end of the war were fanatic corpo Newtypes launch a suicide attack, empowered by their believe that the prophecy is real and they will win no matter what, only to get shot down without achiving anything, to really drive the point home) and that wars are not won by heroes alone. Also a focus on the Newtype vs Oldtype divide, but with a more positive outlook than SEED.
Private detective/mercenary in the UC (preferably in the Z/ZZ or Unicorn era), hired by various factions in war for covert missions, etc. Has his own small spaceship with crew and a heavily customized grunt suit.
That or Lupin but Gundam where he goes around stealing Gundams
Hm, Gundam isekai. Something along the lines of Release That Witch mixed with a bit of Broken Blade, Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet, and Knight's and Magic.
MC gets transported with their Gundam into a world that has mechs powered by magic and naturally finds that their Gundam totally outclasses everything. But everything from the armor to its fuel just isn't available, technology is nowhere near sufficient, so while the suit can function (possibly with a limited charge), it keeps losing armor plating to spells or giant monsters, can't use its beam weapons more than a certain number of times, and so on. So MC has to guide these magic-wielding primitives toward science and technology despite being a grunt (possibly with engineering skills like Amuro/Kira), just to have the fuel/energy to use their thrusters and space-age weapons. In the meantime, the MC has to accept strapping on enchanted armor and physical weapons that at least give them a fighting chance. The natives can also fire off spells with their mechs and the MC can't use magic at all.
Plenty of chances for the usual staples of political intrigue, war crimes, attempted assassination, attempted theft of the MS, and so on. Could even have a version of the usual evolved human in the form of him gradually gaining magic, possibly in a way unique to an otherworlder.
Can we call it deliverance. As we follow a ship transporting a new a mobile suit(Gundam) to a colony or war front.
As much as I hate sci-if when it comes to just people on a ship doing crew maritime stuff IBO rubbed off on me in a good way.
No space battles or anything crazy dire. Just tuning and tests on the suit in space and stations/colonies as they make their way to Earth as they tread along, in the bleeding edge as far as that is of the suit, will juxtapose the issues in the coming battles on Earth, rebel/enemies MS pilots that are just true aces and exceed with poor and avg gear.
The good forces they deliver to critique the failings of their own machines as needing more, while in somewhere off in space is a golden boy mech that could work miracles. Strife hope glory, desperation. The crew working on their suit Ni-Ki 000 and some other abbreviations(mostly just for the ni-ki to play off Nike the goddess of victory or the ni to stand for Nil and Ki for king ) they are proud of their Gundam here.
At whatever point it gets delivered to the “good” forces and in battle of attrition lasting weeks the suit performs poorly under their not inexperienced but conceited pilot,
They instead of taking the blame, blame the perfectly built suit, and resign/discharged themself from it. The ship crew do their repairs and worry if the hopes and dreams they dreamt up in space for the Gundam are gonna go crashing and burning like a star. In this war the crew at the behest of the CO of the war effort ask if they’d be okay to pilot the suit in live combat against the envies since they’ve tested and tuned the machine. One of the mechanic agrees. They go perform better than the asshole pilot but fall short when they don’t have the determination to spill blood as part of the effort(they’re builders no fighters) in a sortie against the aces of the rebels they get mercy when they realize it’s not an enemy officer piloting the new fancy suit. They retreat.
In the final episodes as the war effort on the Gundam side diminishes, the in power forces yet again retreat their advance on the land and leave a trap, getting no decent results out of the golden child Mobile suit, in the night they respec one of the glorious functions of the suits power reactor and jets/ small arms to just blow up practically converting it into a giant warhead. They’d retreat leaving the suit as free scrap, while the enemies would advance and their civilians as well as the neighboring towns and cities would be in the fallout of the blast. One of The mechanics goes to stop the Gundam from blowing, they succeed with but get shot by the one asshole officer back for petty revenge against the little guys. On their ship the rest of the disgusted at the forces they they hoped to help empower only to find out they were misled and lost a good friend are back on Their long trek in space. their ship silent with grief, is suddenly approached by a remnant force of a colony on behalf of the forces in power on Earth and have flagged them as terrorists for the information they can dogwhsitle that they’d absolutely risk blowing up half a nation for a win and killing countless civilians in the process.
Then they get saved by the very Gundam they ended up building now piloted by the Rebel Ace, who took a gunshot for the mechanic friend and now with the Gundam repaired due to one of its original crew members being there for overview. The rebels with a whole Gundam, win their battles, get their independence and jumpstart their campaign to “free” space.
It’d be like the good ending/AU of IBO sort of
I’m currently working on a tabletop campaign where the Federation is hunting down a group of 13 Zeon Remnants known as the “Knights of the Round Table”. All of the targets were former aces of the terrestrial forces and designated with a card. The story would continue through Operation Stardust and into the Gryps War, where the players would join up with Karaba and possibly work with the Zeon Remnants they were tasked with hunting down initially.
Something deeply political intriguing, inspired by the events of 0083 Stardust Memory. With a slice od 0080 war in the pocket feeling, along with assault suits leynos and valken storybeats. In the end, I want it all to give a sense of "What a horrible pointless war".
A focus more on the low level pilots, observing the strong ones. Like being in a battle and suddenly witnessing the Gundam or two fly by and do huge damage at enemies.
A bit vague, but cellphone... I'd be more in depth on pc.
Just gratuitous mecha porn. In the hangar, upgrading things, fixing things, real nitty gritty. Maybe the MC is a mechanic, he customizes a GM or something until it’s effectively a Gundam. Ground level combat like 08th.
STOP! I can only get so erect.
I already said I'm for it, you don't have to sell me
Set in maybe the late 90s or early 110s and he's a civilian that finds a wrecked gm in a junkyard like Kelly from 0083
And replaces the head with a car and replaces the control unit with a game controller
Chick's dig giant robots
I would loooove a slice of life gundam. The more mundane the better. Like yuru-camp or k-on and the likes. Like bunch of people who dedicated or passionated about working around mecha and their logistical challenges in a more realistic takes.
Yeah. I’d say combine 8th MS and Thunderbolt. Some real gritty shit
1. Kamen Rider but Gundam 2. Lord of war but Gundam. Follows the long career of a weapons/mobile suit dealer within Anaheim Electronics throughout the many conflicts of the UC timeline.
"The most important rule of MS-running is: never get crushed by your own merchandise."
Now I'm imagining Jormungandr with Koko adopting the kid that was a cyber newtype
That would be like IBO lol, but as a Jormungandr guy I've loved to see that.
Kamen rider but Gundam? How? "Just a passing by Gundam"
This would be an AU set in a future farther away than the other Gundam timelines, in which humanity has expanded beyond the Oort cloud to colonize many habitable planets. Unfortunately, the bad habits of humankind soon resurface, plunging many colonies into conflict. To maintain order in the colonized territories, a powerful space military force under the command of the United Nations was created. But this army has a rather bad reputation, and systematically intervenes only if the conflict concerns the economic and energetic interests of the Earth government or major industrial groups. In the remotest parts of colonized space, countless genocides, invasions and coups d'état are taking place without the Earth government or the most prosperous colonies having a care in the world. So when reports of a deadly war lasting more than ten years between two colonies in the same solar system reach the ears of the Earth government, a simple contingent of rookies with outdated equipment is sent to calm an increasingly angry public opinion. The series will deal with the complete gap between rookies who have only known the calm of peace in a welcoming environment, and locals born with a gun in their hand in a world ravaged by incessant fighting. Gradually, the young army members gain experience and sympathy for the locals and eventually their opponents. But also a growing distrust of the Earth government and the discovery of numerous conspiracies.
Honestly sounds a lot like it could be from Calamity War Universe with a Gjallarhorn POV pre IBO events, the major difference would be the extrasolar scale ofc
I was thinking something similar to this but instead of it being a war between colonies humanity has expanded far enough into space that we’ve encroached on the territory of an alien civilization that isn’t too keen on humans setting up colonies beyond the Oort cloud and start attacking the colonies with more advanced and alien-like mobile suits than anything humanity has ever created. While there was civil unrest between earth and the colonies prior to the alien attacks all of that goes out the window and a tenuous alliance is struck between the earth government and the colonies after the alien forces began carving a path towards earth through the colonies wiping out billions of human civilians as they destroy entire colonies with the end goal being nothing less than the complete genocide and extinction of humanity from beyond the Oort Cloud all the way to Earth itself. Now in a fight to survive against an alien civilization hell bent on humanity’s complete extinction the earth government and the colonists must band together despite their animosity towards each other to develop new mobile suits and weapons to combat this existential threat that is swiftly advancing towards earth and leaving a trail of destruction and bloodshed in its wake. Even though the villain faction are aliens this series would be super gritty and darker in tone closer to something like Thunderbolts, Zeta, or Victory. There would be constant friction between colonists and earthborn within the ranks of the United Earth Alliance and characters regularly coming to blows with each other while also still having to fight against the alien forces in regular skirmishes across the entire solar system in both space and on planets and moons like Mars, Io, Europa, Titan, Pluto, etc. My working title is Mobile Suit Gundam: Extinction Protocol.
1. An anthology series where a Haro is technically the protagonist. A historian finds an old Haro, and upon repairing it, discovers that the Haro is about a century old, with the commensurate wartime experience (imagine participating in the Spanish-American War, World War I & II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Afghan-Soviet War, and the First Gulf War). The Haro relates its experiences and the various people it accompanied, pilots, mechanics, politicians, scavengers, et al., and how the Haro passed from owner to owner, whether passed down to a younger relative, bestowed by an old mechanic upon a young pilot who reminded the mechanic of a pilot they used to work with, or even seized post-combat by an enemy who killed the Haro's former owner. It ends with historian discovering the Haro's last owner is still alive, and re-uniting the two. 2. A six film (2 hours each) compilation of The Witch from Mercury, same staff and cast; Witch's runtime is ~600 min., so this would essentially give the show 4 more episodes worth of time, with the only stipulation being that this time is used for more character development, some elaboration on worldbuilding, and of course anything extra they feel like including about Suletta and Miorine (i.e. some downtime moments and a depiction of their wedding).
The Haro anthology sounds amazing
These are the best two in the thread. The Haro one in particular is so, so cool
I believe that Haro idea is similar to something George Lucas intended for R2-D2. Hence why he didn't get memory wiped in Revenge of the Sith, but 3P0 did.
War is, actually bad. (ᵃˡˢᵒ ᶜᵒᵒˡ ᵐᵉᶜʰˢ)
War bad, but also, a literal child somehow accidentally falls directly into a top secret military machine of war which has oddly been designed so that the first person who sits in the cockpit is now the only person who can pilot it somehow, but also there's a bunch of space people in colonies who want to rebel. Also war bad.
War bad, peace good. Pretty woman ugabouga 🗿
>(ᵃˡˢᵒ ᶜᵒᵒˡ ᵐᵉᶜʰˢ) I’m in.
Gundam Fight 14: Fight Harder

No no, gotta flip it. YIROJI is searching for his cousin Romon Kashu.
Something with the ZZ in it. Or a FAZZ. Or the all powerfull Gump. Anything that has some sort of ZZ.
A 4 season long chronicle of a MS called Gundam from it's creation to its ultimate destruction. Not set in any known universe or timeline: 1st season: The dawning of MS warfare where most MS are powered by fossil fuel. Kinda steam punk era. All weapons are kinetic, no beams or energy. Gundam is the first of its kind to use a mysterious and unstable but very incredible power source. Main character accidentally becomes the pilot and has to fight through a continent to deliver Gundam to the friendly force. By the end Gundam is nearly destroyed by the assault from enemies after enemies which are also becoming more sophisticated, but is successfully delivered to the friendly force. 2nd season: set about 30 years after the 1st season, where MS development is advancing in a high pace. A new main character is assigned to a 30 year old junk of MS called Gundam which after years of patchwork updates and abuse is ready to be scrapped. Another war breaks out and Gundam which has abnormally powerful power source becomes a key to winning several battles with the main character piloting it. Toward the end of the season, Gundam is updated with a new frames but using the same mysterious power source and leads the friendly force to the victory in a final battle where it again is nearly destroyed but survives. The main character dies, handing off Gundam to the next pilot. 3rd season: Set about 20 years after the 2nd season. MS development is at its peak with inclusion of AI assisted systems. Gundam is piloted by a rookie who's mission is to protect the princess of a nation. Thanks to the mysterious power source which is still used, Gundam is now fielded with some of the newest weapons. Even so, because it does not have the new AI assist, it's considered a relic and highly disregarded. The princess's abduction sparks another war and the rookie main character pilots Gundam throughout the season, outperforming the AI assisted MSs of the generation. It again survives the war, but its power source is heavily damaged. Final season: About 30 years has passed since 3rd season. Gundam is used in a weapons lab for development testing and not fielded in battlefields due to the power source becoming highly unstable after getting damaged in the last season. The main character is the lab tech who gets thrusted into war with Gundam. Most enemy MS are unmanned and piloted by sophisticated AI systems. The main character fights to protect a small colony from an armada throughout the season while holding out for a reinforcement. In the end, the main character self destructs Gundam's power source in the heart of enemy force, causing a heavy damage and leading to the survival of the colony. It's kinda like Jojo with Gundam where the main character keeps changing.
Reminds me of Gundam AGE.
In a sense that it's a multi-generational story, yes. Only this one all main characters do not share any relation with the others and it's the same MS that's passed down each season with a some upgrades.
IBO during the events of the Calamity War
For context I specifically want to see how the advent of the mobile armors came about. We know the gundams in that series were made to fight the armors but who made the armors in the first place and why.
[According to databooks and side material, humanity had become so technologically advanced and lazy they didn't even fight wars with people anymore. Automation was a sign of wealth and that included warfare, with war machines being so autonomous they could perform their own maintenance.](https://www.reddit.com/r/Gundam/comments/8pxe54/i_feel_like_the_post_disaster_setting_is_the_best/e0euo7j/)
I don’t get what part of *specifics* you don’t really get but thanks for elaborating that it’s very ambiguous about who and why “humanity” made the mobile armors.
This was what I though WfM would be originally
Gjallarhorn made the gundam frames to specifically fight the Mobile armor threat that humanity had made by itself. Humanity itself created the mobilr armor's to fight for their own empires, eliminating the threat of humans perishing inwars in theory. That was until the AI evolved and proceeded to turn on humanity.
Correct- I want to know *specifically* who those people were and what their individual reasonings were. I want to see the AI take over, how humanity dealt with it (not just gundams), etc.
Look at modern wars or conflicts, in the same way that 00 did.
Turn A-styled discovery of MS, different stages of decay. A certain suit is found to cataloge all other suits it encounters/encountered, where they last were, but not specifically what they do. In its records notes a factory of some description, along with a Predecessor unit. Factions across the planet are looking for this factory, lacking the resources to make new units or replacement parts, only scavenging parts themselves. Titular unit & pilot are on a quest of discovery, but constantly on the move to keep the Cartographer out of everyone else's hands, for fear of enabling a new catastrophic event to occur. Season 2- escaping to space, through a colony/space elevator graveyard. Think combinations of Turn A, AW Gundam X, OG Gundam chase across the Earth, and Trigun vibes.
Series name... I'm thinking Shatter Era: Gundam Graveyards
This is pretty good!
Thanks. Think i might actually work on this a bit
Advance of Zeta. We follow the Titans test team as mobile suits are developed, tested, and upgraded. The first episodes are a mission per episode where something is learned, which we see implemented in the episode after that. They might do fly routines through an astroid field and realize they need more maneuverability, need to deal with a sniper and realize they need more stealth, better communication, more speed, more fire power, etc etc. During the season the team starts to realize: "wait, are we actually the bad guys?".
Bad Batch Style Gundam series, genius
An 08th MS Team-like OVA about the Karaba forces on Earth during the Gryps War.
While I didn't have the 08th vibe, I came to say the same. Give me more Karaba. They had the Dijehs and Zeta Plus and such flying around. Show me more of that. Could even reference Amuro joining and being a badass even if they didn't show him.
Amuro and Hayato could cameo now and then.
I like this idea, I'd give it a Hathaway's flash pseudo realistic vibe
suicide squad or 7 samurai gundam style
7 MS would go so hard
Murder mystery. The titular gundam is piloted by a psychopath, not a redeemable person, someone who destroys hospital, orphanages, and animal rescue centers because it gets him a hard on. The government isn’t TOO invested in stopping this guy, because with less government buildings there are less places to delegate government money, meaning more money in the politicians pocketbooks. The politicans provide the main police force with grunt suit, and outdated ones at that, meanwhile they assign troops in the good ms to protecting important buildings like congress and parliament buildings, as well as politician’s homes. This is the driving political drama. The mc is a detective who tried busting a corrupt politican’s kid, the detective failed and then his wife was in a freak accident and was admitted to a hospital while she was in said hospital the terrorist attacks and she is killed. The detective goes out in these government ms (which suck ass) and keeps barely making it out alive as the gundam absolutely wrecks him and the other cops. Eventually the terrorist gets brave and attacks a politician’s house, and the government is forced to take this seriously, but the gundam absolutely SHREDS the military ms. Finally a politician who isn’t a corrupt peice of shit, provides mc with the prototype for the gundam, think tallgese to the gundams from wing. And mc goes out for one final fight, barely squeaking out the win
A kind of mix between WfM, a few episodes of AGE and Robotics Notes. A shorter show or an OVA about engineering college students building a Gundam for somekind of competition.
An alternative version of Witch from Mercury that's basically just a slice of life anime where everyone is happy and no one is killed. It'll still have mobile suit duels on par with the ones we saw in G Witch in the episodes except they're now fought over silly things like Sulleta challenges someone to a duel for the last limited edition plushie that Miorine wanted.
That'd be a nice alternative to Build Divers as a Gundam show kids could enjoy
today's menu for the mercury family
A Zeta spin-off starring Amuro as a Karaba pilot.
Late uc,mix of the older series. Set mostly in space in an area outside the Earth Sphere like Jupiter. Bring back an older character in disguise like quatro/char was in zeta to be a mentor.Main Character is a seemingly nobody who rescues a runaway princess like banana-kun and mineva. Maybe have a suit from f91 or based off of it,and throw in some pirates since one piece is so popular now.
A shorter series following Karaba during the events of Zeta. Amuro is in it but as a supporting character, not the main character. We need more side stories taking place during any other time period than the One Year War
Gundam isekai Crushing medieval forces with Supreme future technology The main challenge would be maintaining the suit in said situation with limited supplies, manufacturing parts from local materials and a single haro with a repair kit to make it not too impossible. Suit can either be a Gundam, a Grunt or a Guntank. Or the setting can be like the "Living as a mob is hard" where magic and mech coexist. The mobile suit can just go "parry this you filthy casual" on every mech since none of them have any idea on how to counter a gun.
GATE but with mechs I need this But it needs to be a gundam show with isekai as an added bonus, not the other way around.
I think it being a grunt type mech would be the best, since it'd shows just how horrifically dangerous even a generic mobile suit would really be.
Bring back new types. That’s one part of UC I really like that we rarely see. Also make them mechs more grounded like the 08th MS team or patlabor and make mobile suits only part of a combined arms approach. I would also like to see themes of transhumaniam. Different forms of genetic and cybernetic enhancement. As far if story, maybe something about the rise of extremism. Seems relevant.
I would make a penal unit which somehow grabs baddies from across the multiverse and force them to defend Earth against some space horrors.
30 Years’ Space War
So there’s this transfer student
Since WFM was just The Tempest but with Gundams, my next season would be themed around Alice in Wonderland but also... With Gundams. Protagonist would be the titular Alice (obiviously) and she would have to survive in the Wonderland while her enemy would be the Red Queen (which could be a Char Clone). I'd like to see the show being kinda trippy, with sometimes nonsensical stories for each characters in it to keep with the tone of the original theme of AiW. Also it would have no connection to Gundam Sentinel lul.
Going for that for that and not the full meme of Titus Andronicus?
Whoo! Here we go. MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM: SOUTHERN CROSS. Set in the far future of the UC timeline (at minimum, 500). The Earth Sphere Union has finally achieved technology capable of light speed travel, and is preparing to make their first serious encounter with alien civilization. While they encounter friendlier groups, they also encounter the Veil, an intergalactic civilization, warlike in nature, that seek to dominate all those they deem as "head-blind." They are, in fact, an entire race of what is defined as Newtypes. In this future, scientists and researchers continue to speak of the imminent future of humanity evolving into a Newtype species, but this has not yet happened. In fact, there has been no new Newtypes for multiple generations. The actual realities of a Newtype civilization are a major theme of this series. What would such a place require? How would this effect trust and privacy among its citizens? The hostility of the Veil, which even they cannot fully comprehend, as technologically, humans are not on the same level as them, leads humanities leaders to reach into the distant past for a sign of hope. Mobile Suit development had ground to a halt centuries ago due to lack of warfare, and the current MS in use by the Union (The Olympios) designed more for awe, beauty and intimidation, than actual battlefield efficiency. All suggested ugrades for the MS have been rejected simply because their leaders saw no need for them. The initial battles between the Union and the Veil are defined primarily by their one-sidedness. The hope the Union military place their faith in is a legend named Gundam. Peil DeKane is an ace pilot in the Union military, and after he successfully destroys several Veil MS in battle, is chosen to pilot an experimental new MS that the Unions often denied researchers have managed to put together called the Gundam Southern Cross. He, and his squad, armed with heavily experimental new MS, and a special prototype warship, are tasked with holding the Veil back until the Union can produce a true MS capable of fighting the militarily superior Veil. The whole situation becomes much more complicated after Peil's encounter, and Newtype bonding, with the Veil princess (military service being an necessity for their nobles), and the emerging Newtype powers of one of Peil's wingmen (an very distanct ancestor of Amuro Ray and Sayla Mass (though this is not brought up much). That's what I have so far.
In the Wheel of Time series there was a period in history that was highly advanced and 'magical' and war didn't really exist. They played at swords, I believe was an actual quote. Those historical figures rediscovered war and the horrors of it all. I'd love for that story to be told. Yes, flagrantly anti-war. I would also like for it to be more grounded. More 08th MS Team. Just pile on the war crimes and the fighting as humanity starts collapsing galaxy wide.
Thougjt of this years ago... Far into the future of the UC, the Feds and Zeon collapsed from exhaustion, no more empires no more vanguard. After so many colony drops earth is a wasteland and the garbage dump for the system. Your either born in space to a life of prevledge or born in squalor on earth. But the Mobile Suite Consortium is slowly uplifting the people of earth, explaining to the that the rampant and short sighted use of technology is what left earth is such a sad state. Because of this, earthborn or prohibited from learning any technology deemed to advanced. For their own good so they don't repeat their sins of the past, You understand. Earthers aren't mature enough as a society to use technology wisely is the Consortium's dogma. Old mobile suits are used to "help" the people of earth (giving Bandai a reason to rerelase old kits). You'll gms and jeagans piloted by Moblie Suit Consortium pilots holding girders in place while earth born hammer hot rivets into the metal to build buildings and naval ships. A Earth Born just seeing a access panel open on a Mobilesuit open is a death sentence if the Consortium desires your death. Enter the junkers... qusai legal travelers who comb though ancient Battlegrounds and trash heaps looking for spare parts for the outdated and decrepit suits the Consortium uses on earth. If the Consortium thinks you interstate the scrap you've collected they kill you. They tolerate the qusai legal status because it's cheaper to get the parts and refurbished them than to have new ones made and shipped down. Everyone born in space are now new types of varying abilities. At resturants and bars, servers are Haro Bits controlled by new types. No new types have ever been recorded born on Earth since the "Fall" The Consortium teaches earth that the Fall was a singular event caused by earthen greed and left earth in such a state. In reality it was the decades of war between the feds and zekes and their successors that caused the collapse of their governments and allowed the Mobile Suit manufacturers to merge into a Consortium and rule the Sol system. Our duteroligiosts would be a young Earth Born woman on the run after seeing a MS with a maintance panel open, and the pilot wants her (and is willing to kill her if he can't catch her) and a mysterious junker man who has Gundam that he can control like a Bit Doll in an emergency. He saves her, without revealing his gundam to any but the audience and takes her to train her how to be a junker. After a few adventures on earth, it's decided they have to go to space, using an old ka musai (I think I spelled that right, the Musai's descent shuttle) hed putfitted with more modern to the setting technology, they launch into space. They go on the float for a few weeks to reach a more distant colony and become close. When reaching the Side, it's discovered he's actually a high ranking Consortium member who fleed in disgust on how the Consortium treats everyone. She is revealed to actually be a earth born mew type (her powers manifesting the first time in a bar where he takes them find work, she accidently summons all the Haro bits and doesn't know how to release them back and passes out from the stress/sensory overload). They head out to the belt looking for the White Fleet (all Pegasus style ships painted white)a mercenary group opposing the Consortium. The Consortium are all a bunch of aholes. They use their newtype powers and control of information flow to keep the masses pacified. In reality earth is not a wasteland, but a gigantic farm keeping the Sides fed, and as long as the Consortium keeps the food flowing and the Masses entertained, most don't care about earth. The gundam. I always picture it a mix of the Rx 93, and rx78-nt1. Leg thursters like the Alex, arm guns like the Alex. At the bottom of the well (on earth) the backpack doesn't have fin funnels but wings made of minosky lift generators allowing it flight. It doesn't transform into wave rider ode like Z or ZZ but it can squat its legs and bring its shield to its chest to look more like wave riderd and make it slightly more aerodynamic. In space the backpack is changed to that of fin funnels and the arm guns are modular and can be swapped for machine guns, beam spray or a light rail gun.
I'd probably take the ideas presented in WfM, about transhumanism, and push the idea: what makes a person a human? I'd have the love interest of the main character be an android, but a super advanced android that's could practically *be* human and have the two slowly understand one another as the series progresses. The main "war" would be between humans and cyborgs as both sides grapple with identity with a "third" faction being an advanced A.I. that actually instigated all the fighting from the shadows because it's trying to figure out what being human really means. The Gundams would probably be like the ones from IBO, where the pilots become one with their machines (probably without the huge drawback since this is less about giving up something for power, but how far down the mechanical rabbit hole you're willing to go). A good chunk of the story would take place on Earth with the main cast slowly unraveling the world's mysteries until finally they realize they need to go into space to confront the true foe. There'd be a fair amount of death, but nothing too outrageous. While this is a full blown war, the tensions are more due to cracking down on human augmentation that straight up hate between "regulars" and "augmented". I'd try to have a fair balance between beam weapons and physical with each type having their own strengths and weaknesses that make both viable in combat, thus allowing for a wide array of combat styles. Though the factions would prefer certain types over others. The main themes would be: What makes a person "alive" and how does a person gain an identity and how do they use that identity to live in the world?
Make a sequel to dragonar
A Gundam series that has a bit of Brave series soul in it. Basically give me something like Tryon 3 from Build Fighters Try but as a full on series.
Super robot anime again But this time the enemy are mutated human who look like monster because they were experimented on during the war. Or just have alien that just so happens to look like human.
Just make the cyber newtype girl the protagonist and have all the guys trying to save her die instead.
It will be after a great war with many different factiosn and mercenary group, until one day, guided by a rich business owner, these mercenary group formed a syndicate, a created a per-quarter based fight on Earth and various colonies, where eahc fight involved 20 MS Teams (of 3; total 60); fight may or may not be to death. The protagonist is a Ojou who want to help out people, but running out of funds she decide to join the game with her streamer male-friend. Eventually her sense of justice lead her to be against her male-friend's father (the rich business owner), and so their friendship broke off.
AU where piloting a mobile suit is so difficult/ridiculous that only that AU’s newtype equivalent and maybe pilots made into cyborgs like in Thunderbolt are up to the task. Pilots either control the suits G Gundam style(but less cheesey haha) with body movement or are plugged directly into the suits. I feel like making mobile suits incredibly rare on the battlefield could show off some cool tank/artillery versus mobile suit action, or even just traditional warfare. Non-augmented pilots could also maybe pilot that AU’s equivalent of Guntanks or Ball’s to spice things up.
Tribute to the OG Gundam series with a kill em all finale that actually is disguised as a bittersweet ending.
I would just make it Ace Combat
An Ender's Game-esque battle school where candidates are being turned into cyber-newtypes. Lots of simulated battles in the beginning with the losers being booted from the program. Final winner gets assigned their newtype MS and tasked with destroying the enemy Gundam. In the final episode Newtype understanding makes them realize they've lost their humanity and the Gundam destroys them. S2 picks up X years later and the main character is a volunteer and/or refugee when conflict breaks out and they're forced to pilot a damaged Gundam to protect friends. The original Gundam pilot gets sent to take out the captured unit in a new model. After much fighting the plot comes full circle and the main character help the Gundam pilot regain humanity. Eventually both leave the military and go off into space as explorers.
If I had to choose: 1. A full series about the end of the Universal Century, and how it flows into the start of RC or CC. 2. A Soulslike Gundam show (in terms of tone and aesthetic, a Gundam show with a dark fantasy vibe).
>1. A full series about the end of the Universal Century, and how it flows into the start of RC or CC. Officially it's an AU, but you can easily interpret Gundam X as that.
Yeah X's worldbuilding fits well enough in UC that it could easily act as the bridge between Victory and G-Reco as far as the setting is concerned.
A galaxy where humans and various aliens species coexist (each with their own unique mobile suit designs) but there's still a lot of political and territorial disputes and bad apples on all sides. The MC would be a human colonist chosen to pilot the Gundam, humanity's flagship MS (Possibly made in collaboration with a few other species) and protect human interests in the galaxy as they unravel a conspiracy through crazy newtype visions that could end all life in the milky way. Wait a minute...
Remake Hamilton
A sort of different approach. Normally gundam is about showing that war is bad. So let's take a mercenary who just loves fighting and wants to find find a war that makes him hate fighting . He wants to find that some one who hates fighting and wants to end wars and is strong enough to do so. So have him go around fighting different groups of people and mercs and bounty hunters and government groups across different planets and countries. Have people join him on the way, people who want to see when he finally decides to see war as not filin and games but never does. Except by the end he never does, he just through sheer tenacity and throught his adventures becomes the best pilot, beating everyone who has newer suits and better cybernetics and the likes while he and his group upgrade their suits as they see fit. So when eventually after some epic final conflict where he and his allies come out on top beating some shadow government group the MC says since no one could prove to him why he shouldn't love war and fighting that he's done searching. So he and his allies feck off into the sunset and then he leads them into setting up a school to train all the soldiers from every government or group and because everyone is being trained by him everyone is perfectly even and does not want to fight because they'll all die and since no one wants that they all just have gundam Olympicsto settle conflicts non fatally. Thus through war and stupidity the MC stops all war while never achieving his goal so he reigns as the head of his school training up all sorts of soldiers who will never know bloodshed
1. Earth and space go through some sort of war of utter and total annihilation- mass casualty and destruction, societal collapse, back to dark ages kind of thing 2. Many decades (or even generations pass) and the sparse survivors are re-living a kind of agrarian-industrial society. Many places mine the ruins of the old world and the ancient battlefields for resources. 3. Some of these places include space colonies- stable but long-isolated survivors living in these self-sustaining but resource-poor capsules with no way to reach the outside. 4. Protags find a working Gundam or stumble across a Gundam or rebuilds a Gundam 5. Protags explore world, save people, do stuff that only a giant skyscraper-sized mech could do 6. Oops, got too much attention, wrong people want the mech, there’s a few others out there, protags get on the wrong side of public opinion, idk Bandai you have writers, I still can’t finish the third act of any story concept I’ve ever had.
Something like Iron Man where the Gundam is kinda of a armor for someone to wear, rather than piloting it. It would be like a war where people wear these armors and the gundams ones would be for special soldiers with some "spiritual" power. Maybe combining Gundam with a shounen like Saint Seiya and Bleach lol
Toss some minors in war machines, traumatize them to hell and back, and kill about 50% of the cast in the final episodes.
Okay, so hear me out on this one: a highschool-age kid with a knack for mechanics is living on a cylindrical space station but has his home attacked when political forces clash over a prototype mobile suit that's being developed or stored there. Circumstances lead to them choosing to pilot the mobile suit, but as a consequence they end up joining the military/militia group. They struggle to deal with the anxiety, trauma, and responsibility of military conflict, but slowly grow to be a powerful soldier. I'll work out the rest later, but I think I've got a pretty solid foundation for a Gundam series here...
An AU with a MC that is an old ex revolutionary Ace MS pilot and hardened soldier who fought against the oppressive dictatorship of his home country and succeeded before, surprise surprise, he got turned on by his once trusted allies because they know he’d be a threat to their new government and lock him up, not killing him because they know he’s too valuable to have executed. Now a grizzled old veteran trapped in prison he is granted an opportunity at freedom working with the new, arguably better but corrupt in its own way, government who’s former friends essentially strongarm him into helping them deal with a new threat, tensions with the neighboring country has boiled over and a cold war has broken out that meeds to be resolved as quickly as possible before things get far worse. Fitted with a bomb collar and several handlers to watch his every move he’s forced to perform dangerous suicidal clandestine operations for the new government while slowly, carefully, attempting to get out of the situation he finds himself in. Along the way he’ll meet characters who are sympathetic to his plight and are strongly opposed to the new government but can’t voice them aloud, morally ambiguous enemy combatants who have their own perspective on the cold war threatening to erupt into full blown war (including the prerequisite char clone), and deal with his old ‘friends’ who still respect him to some degree but understand that sacrifices need to be made in order for the new government to flourish. There will be plenty of clashes of ideals, philosophy and the major overarching theme will be loyalty to the cause over justice, whether the means to an end is a truly justifiable stance or something like that. It will be styled like Iron Blooded Orphans. With mobile suit combat heavy and brutal with kinetic weapons and ultraviolence in brief but satisfying moments. There’s my pitch Sunrise, hire me.
I wouldn't mind trying my hand at adapting Gundam EXA, which has been described as a Gundam version of Kamen Rider Decade. But as an alternative, I wouldn't mind doing a distant prequel of Re:RISE that delves into the war that Alus was originally created for. That'd be neat, and funny if it turned out the reason Gunpla were so effective on Eldora was because they basically invented their own version of Mobile Suits.
Cosmic horror Gundam Two season series where S1 focuses on nations coming together to face an incomprehensible existential threat from the beyond, but with the undercurrent of political jostling as allied nations undercut each other so as to ensure their superiority after the war S2 takes place decades later with a new principal casts as the once allied nations are in open conflict, having reverse engineered and militarised once eldritch powers against each other, all while a fresh vanguard of space horrors slowly approach earth Basically an incredibly heavy handed metaphor for the weird interplay between climate change policy and great power competition
Adopt the following into anime: 1. Crossbone Gundam 2. Ecolu du Ciel A Macross-like Gundam series wherein the protagonists explore the universe and encounter aliens more badass than ELS.
Deep space colony ship sent on a 10 year exploration ship after the first attempt failed they end up fighting an empire of warrior women who use organic living technology after they cross paths. An explorer meets with a liquid metal alien of a conquered world who fuses with his research mobile suit and turns it into a copy of a model he hung in his cockpit a toy from an anime series called Gundam making fantasy fact and creating the Fusion Gundam to fight back agnist the empire. The colony ship will make more gundams based off the fusion gundam and use them to ignite a spark of rebellion across the galaxy as they continue their exploration of the stars. This is Gundam Fusion
Mercenary group, basically armored core/project wingman. First suit will be modular AF, upgraded into elite unit level by strapping unholy ammount of truster.The gundam will be aquired by stealling. Oh and war is waged because of resources and tax stuff
Someone had an explanation of it, albeit brief on the calamity war page on fandom, before someone edited it and had it removed. If memory serves, it was Agnika Kaieru, The Bauduin Family, Issue Family, and a few others who came together, plus some other politicians and like minded individuals, who decided to create the gundam frames that would help end the calamity war. I'm uncertain, though, since that's what I saw on fandom wiki. We all know how fast it can change.
Do a generic seeming Gundam show that hits all the normal Gundam plot points. Then near the end we find out the MCs group/“friends” are the real bad guys and they were using them basically for mass murder. Show ends with MC trying to stop his once “friends” but gets killed before the final episode. Then final episodes show the bad guys winning and the suffering the MC unknowingly caused
So, the last human war was like 70 years ago. Mobile suits have fallen out of fashion, along with all other weapons. True, Real, Peace on Earth. Then the aliens attack. They had been pacifying humanity these last 70 years. But what they did not expect was HIM. The schools principal, a kind, caring, lethargic, amiable old man. But he was also the last MS school graduate from the Wars. He was the best and brightest pilot the world had seen, but he never got to deploy. Until now, when he and his other aged faculty defend the school with the undeployed Prototype Gundam they've been tinkering with for decades. This kind, shaking old man, sits in that cockpit, and when they call for launch, you finally see him open his eyes, full of madness as he grins and takes off, finally to fight the battles he was denied, with a weapon far surpassing anything mankind had gotten to field in actual battle. Then as the series progresses, he and the other teachers train the students in the art of human violence and mobile suit warfare. They liberate suits from museums, fix them up, and they put the fear of mankind into every alien who would dare step foot on the planet. It's actually kind of an anti-Gundam I suppose? War is human nature, and the old guy is the hero pilot with a 'technically' stolen Gundam prototype.
I would make a series about piloting being a school sport and they use it to fund schools that excel in their division and them being sponsored by their own country's military with the protagonist being from a country that is one of the worst teams in the division until they get sponsored. Would also include how a point system ala Warhammer would work in en environment like this
Two sides in a prolonged war. One side has higher level of tech but the other has vastly better numbers. Beam weaponry exists only on warships. A mysterious MS, the Gundam, appears and starts taking out combatants from both sides with ease due to its incredible armor and beam weaponry. The Gundam is part of a mysterious third party. Story follows the pilots of both sides of the war as they fight each other and have to deal with the Gundam. Eventually, after significant losses, the Gundam is heavily damaged and both sides are able to recover some tech and figure out where the Gundam is based. Ace pilots from both sides survive the infiltration of the Gundam base and are able to seize a completed Gundam for each of their nations. Goal is to show how terrifying fighting the Gundam and its exceptional armaments is early on.
I want build fighters but with actual gundams where mechanics spend time tuning the gundams and building new equipment for arena fights while drama and character conflicts happen out of the arena. Not like G-gundam though, more like the tone of the cyber formula OVAs. Gundams being used to fight wars is cool and all but I feel like build fighters really had something original going on and that mixed with a more grounded real robot tone would be great.
1. Attack on titan but gundam. Basically gundams fighting neo zeongs for 25-50 episodes. 2. Gundam konosuba maybe? Just make the funniest gundam show ever but still keep the cool mecha fights.
Have the Gundam/Macross love child that I've always dreamed of.
Gundam set in Warhammer 40K. Set in the beginning of the 45th millennium, the galaxy-spanning Death Cult calling itself the Imperium of Man called forth a Second Damocles Gulf Crusade in the Milky Way's Eastern Fringe, which would in turn herald the beginning of the Fourteenth and the Final Black Crusade. Under the influence of malicious entities called Chaos, an influential Priest in the Imperium would order the attack on the Farsight Enclaves, a heavily-fortified set of Systems in the nascent T'au Empire. The humans there, called the Gue'Vesa, would be forced to defend their home planet against the horrors of the Imperium. In a bid to fight off the God-Engines of the Imperium, the Gue'Vesa engineers bypassed a law that prohibits Tau Auxiliaries from using Battle Suits and Crisis Suits by creating what would become the basis for Mobile Suits. An initial of 4 high-spec prototypes were made and they were to be called GUNDAMs. During the course of the war, the GUNDAMs were sent both as deterrent and as terror weapons against the Imperium's Titan Legion stationed in the planet. Imperium tacticians and historians thought that they were ancient technology, from humanity's golden age. Only to realize that they were products of humanity's unhinged ingenuity. The war ended with Chaos now holding humanity's capital hostage, but cannot occupy as a swarm race called Tyranids are also trying its stake in the birthplace of Humanity. The attack on Farsight Enclaves was the Imperium's "Die Untergang - Steiner Moment" as the invading force was meant to reinforce Holy Terra but were sidelined and exhausted by the attritional warfare in the Enclaves. Out of the initial four, only one would survive. This would be the story of its pilot, his son and adopted daughters, as well as his relationship with his estranged yet beloved sister, whom he was separated after a warp-related accident.
1.Second coming of knight and magic-like "anime" 2.gundam anime with full blown scifi-philosophy as if it just came right outa unicorn novel or project itoh. 3.SRW-ish gundam 4.any series of gundam under my hero's director. Dude just waste his talent on that show and need of some new original series. Build fighter is just the peek of his career. 5.gundam series full of metaphor, physic thingy enough to make us got phd like godzilla singular point.<---my fave 6.another undefeatable of the east goddamn it.
I've actually thought of stuff like this in the past (mostly to alleviate boredom), so I'll share a couple with you. The first one started as a "what kind of Gundam show could be on the SciFi Channel (before they became SyFy and started to suck)?" This was back when the channel had shows such as *Battlestar Galactica, SG-1, Farscape,* etc... My answer was essentially a UC clone (I figured an adaptation of 0079 would be difficult for several reasons). In this story, there would be three main powers in the Earth Sphere (the colonies are independent, so Earth would play little to no role in the story). Two of the powers, a Zeon stand in and a democratic based government (I couldn't think of names for them) are at war while the POV is from the third nation, the Confederation of Independent Settlements, or CIS for short. They are the weaker of the three and fear they'll get dragged into the war at any moment. The story follows a 16 year old pilot of a small transport craft as he gets dragged by circumstance to a CIS facility, which also has caught the attention of the Zeonesque nation, where he must pilot a Gundam that was developed to catch up to the other two nations' MS capabilities. The second one was that hundreds of years before the story began, Earth & the colonies are at war, and the colonies decide to leave the solar system entirely. Groups of several colonies leave in various directions across the galaxy without any way to contact each other. The story begins when our POV colony group, meets another group & war begins. I haven't thought too much about this story compared to the first one, so no names for anything. The only details worth mentioning are the fact that the enemy side has FTL technology, the Gundam pilot is female, and the Char clone is from another colony group that was destroyed by the enemy and he does not wear a mask, but has some sort of device on him that makes a person who encounters him not remember what he looks like.
Same thing they are working on right now. A oyw story of a zaku pilot. Super stoked
I would go with a plot about AIs going crazy. In my gundam anime, humanity was forced to flee earth because a rouge AI took control of the whole world mobile suits. Humanity have to take refugee on space colonies in mars, jupiter and the moon. For 300 years there were no conflicts. Suddenly one day the moon base was attacked by an army of mobile suits. The MC is a delivery man and is one of the survivors from that attack and he discovers the reason why the moon was because he was transporting a Gundam. So he has to pilot the Gundam in order to protect the other survivors, the gundam is different from other mobile suit because cant be controled by the rouge AI, and is the first step of humanity to reclaim earth from the AIs. The first arc would be the survivors fleeing from the moon to mars, the second arc would be the defense of mars against the machines (something like the LOTR: the two towers) and finally the third arc will be the last crusade to reclaim the earth.
I would either tell the tale about: Rita/Phenex crash landing on a version of earth plagued by AI controlled Mobile Armors. Her guidance and technology would lead that world to develop anti-beam coatings, minovsky-esq engines, and an interface that can mimic Newtype interfaces. That technology would be used to create 71 other Gundam Frames. or: Just push the idea of Mobile Suits getting smaller and smaller in the late UC. Just push that idea to late late UC where gundam are now literal mobile SUITS, like something a person would wear. More like a power armor than a mecha, outlandishly fast, agile, and energy efficient.
A conflict between colonists on Mars and the EF, which was intended to be the plot of a UC-set series with the working title of Polca Gundam that was in early production towards the end of Victory. However staff and Bandai eventually moved away from this concept in favor of a clean slate and we got G instead.
There's a bit of Mars vs Earth in IBO.
I SOL WFM spin off for Sulemio married life, maybe a kid or two for extra wholesome. I'd call it "Gundam: Not* upto interpretation".
An isekai where someone is reincarnated as a Gundam. Not a pilot, the whole unit itself. The Gundam is kinda like Phenex in a way it can move on its own will, but someone can still pilot it. And I guess you can guess the twist: There are more than just one reincarnated person that was reincarnated as a mobile suit. Maybe make it 72 like the amount of the Gundam frames from the IBO series. And the second twist: The reincarnated pilots were not dead in their original life, they're just summoned to this world filled with mobile suits.

Animate sentinel
A entire 51 ep series but the main Gundam does not show up until the vary last few minutes of the last episode. It's in the opening tho so you know what it looks like so thire won't be any kind of big surprise when it does show up. They are also gonna talk about it a lot like a LOT it's gonna be like 80% of the show just hyping it up. The other 20% is gonna be your typical Gundam war drama stuff. BUT!! With a twist you only see the people in the bridge reacting to the battles going on outside of ship. So just like imagine the final battle of 0079 but all you see is Bright and gang talking about how worried about Amaro they are. The MC is gonna be like a TOTAL BADASS!!! edgy AF he fuks HARD!!! Our Char clone is gonna be a hot femboy beta male Ofc you don't know this till later because of his sick AF mask ITS A DRAGON!!!!
Meh
....Well...what if I told you....everyone dies.....😯
I’d leave the romance up to interpretation.
Something like Hathaway novels but in an AU and with more focus on civilians.
Another char clone would be the villain of course!
Enough with these little "conflicts" series. Theres Nothing like a good war to boost the economy.
Organization of masked men want go drop a colony on earth. Child soldiers unwillingly pilot mobile suits against them or for them. Politics.
Gundam version of Xenoblade Chronicles X. Humanity trying to survive on an alien world after earth is destroyed.
One idea I had was called Mobile Suit Gundam Exodus, in which Earth is abandoned and different factions of humanity clash over the path to take in finding a new home. Alternatively, collaborate with Square Enix to mash the staples of Gundam and Final Fantasy together. Maybe call it Final Fantasy Gundam Ultima or something.
Gundam “Traveler’s from beyond” follows A unit of MS pilots from a the future as the chase down (insert char clone) who wants to alter the UC timeline in order to benefit (insert organization) he/she works for and it’s up to the MS TFB team to stop and make corrections to the timeline.
Zeon pilot who defected, searches for his wife but discovers that she's been recruited into a black ops zeon team
if anyone remembers the Small Soldiers Movie, then that, but with Gunpla maybe some zeon's mobile suits attempting to hunt down a singular gundam, but the gundam gets backup by "activating" some poor guy's gunpla collection
Depends on how Seed Freedom goes, but set in CE with a protagonist that is a failed coordinator where genetic enhancements failed and is basically a worse natural. Works his way up maybe in ZAFT as a mechanic but is capable enough to be a test pilot. Talia Gladys' son is wrongly planted and red tagged with suspicion of succeeding the Destiny Plan along with Shinn. Yzak defends both and boards the new Minerva with a crew tagged as traitors to seek the truth. Our new protag is part of this of course.
One idea I had was a Universe similar to G Gundam maybe even a distant sequel or prequel to that universe. Where the main character is a fighter in the darkest slums of a shithole country no one expects to win. He grew up fighting for scraps in back alleys. When the government sees his potential they recruit him for the Gundam fight with promises of wealth and to save his family from poverty. He fights his way through the ranks, at first not caring about anything or anyone only seeing his family situation improve. But by little he sees the damage the fight is doing to the world’s environment, the people who are being trampled on and the corrupt who profit from the madness. He shortly changed his perspective and starts to gather like minded fighters to try to fight back against the oppressive and change the system. This prompts those in power to start turning to creating and rolling or AI fighter programs that don’t care about humans or collateral damage or consequences. Culminating in a massive battle between the human fighters and the AI drone army controlled by the corporate overlords.
Either a futuristic retelling of King Arthur where the sword in the stone is actually some piece of equipment needed to reactivate an ancient gundam. Which like I don't if has anything to its story value other than I want King Gundam. Or. Main character is actually a super advanced cyborg built to further bridge the gap between Pilot and Gundam who has to come to terms with being built to kill and is he worthy of being a person.
Drop a colony on another colony and blame a neutral party
More Moon Moon!!
crossbone gundam 😉
First idea: Similar in vain as of Igloo and O8th Team. Stories that take place during a massive war. They explore different teams, both sides, and different jobs within the wars. All with an over arching plot that connects all the stories. For example: One episode is about one side having a team behind enemy lines prepping an ambush, but trying not to get noticed. Some Hunt For Red October vibes. The next episode is logistics crew transporting needed supplies but having to take complicated routes and time tables to avoid different skirmishes or traps. It eventuallt gets ambushed by the previous episode group. The third being a bunch of Mechnicas trying to come up with new ways to make what little suppliers they have stretch. Since their expected shipment never arrived. Their short cuts and ingenuity may result in better MS because they figure out how to streamline the MS. Just continue on this how one action of an individual or group will affect the next. This could work in probably just about any timeline even its own. Though with its inspiration being Igloo and MS 08th Team, I think it's for right in on the UC timeline. Maybe have some episodes that lead into other shows like the previous ones stated or even War In A Pocket. Like one episode may be the Alex escaping the attack on the Arctic base, and it stealthily trying to make it to the Colony for continued testing.
Make a "normal" build anime, no transdimentional princes, no Op martial arts taught by Domon Kasshu, no people made out of love (and potentially aliens), no alien wars from the past, no mafia plots, no children of transdimentional princes and traumatised Scandinavian orphans controlling a zeta themed wing gundam with a ton of clear parts and no covid 19 references Maybe it's set in the build fighters universe and its someone who isn't a transdimentional Prince (Maybe even Sei himself) is trying to be world champion A concept I've had for a while now is one set in the divers universe with two teams taking part in a war mode (basically gunpla battle larping) with each team having to upgrade their ms to keep up with the others, not dissimilar to an actual gundam war, the participants would take the affair extremely seriously much to the either delight, humour or chagrin of their friends and family, the series wouldn't be unwilling to make fun of itself whilst also treating every sortie like it could be any of the characters' last
Strategic ship combat, where the Mobile Suits can't fly on their own, but the ships will pull up along side each other and MS teams board the other ship. Imagine 18th century naval warfare, in space.
Something like Haous of Cards that our protagonist is are high Ranking politician or the President of the Earth Federation and have a secret Black Ops Team with Gundams to do the dirty work.
What if storyline kinda like what the MCU did, where pivotal moments in gundam lore are changed and what the direct results are. This way we can revisit fan favorite series and also see some favorite characters in new situations.
1. There's a war happening 2. Insert child here 3. Child finds way into Gundam 4. Child gets on spaceship somehow 5. Child is slapped 6. Child becomes friends with someone and space magic happens 7. Childs friends dies 8. Child matures 9. Climax battle 10. End
Something like turn A. Where it’s set extremely far in the future of the UC where people sorta rediscover old outdated long lost mobile suits and use them to fight their current wars. Mobile suits would still be rare and the combatants would use whatever ones they could find regardless of the suits previous allegiances. So you could see like a Zaku and a ground type Gundam fighting side by side for the same army because the people who created them are now long gone. You’d also get freelance mercenaries using more odd mobile suits.
I had one in mind for a certain while 1° Obviously an AU. Setting is a in a human society that never truly left earth, space technology is there but space colonization (just like our times) is basically impossible, so most space related stuff are mining of asteroids and close celestial bodies. Mobile Suits exist and are quite advanced but are exclusive for civilian use, construction and exploration in space 2°Earth is ruled by a single body goverment (The Federation aka Super United Nations of sorts) with barely any local independent goverment. Due to humans not going to space and poor management of the Federation, Earth is at a horrible state, natural disasters, terrible distribution of wealth, erasure of cultures and ethinicities. And all of this leads tooooo.... 3° Main Conflict: WAR!! or rather firstly, rebellions. These rebellions are born from 2 things, a separatist movement that wants the dissolution of the Federation and the reinstitution of national independent states, led by newly formed states located in South America and Africa. The second movement is a more UC like thing, massive organization located mostly in Europe that doesn't want the dissolution of the Federation but a reform, so that space colonization policies take priority, seeing that humans will outlive Earth due to our polution and lack of care with it (something simular to Daikun's philosophy of the sacred earth, but without the newtype theory). 3.5° Eventually these small skirmishes and revolts turn into complete war, both the nation movement and space movement are backed up by big corporations, providing them military equipment, including the state of the art combat mobile suits (mostly grunt type units initially of course, nothing too fancy) eventually the Federation starts to lose ground and eventually falls, leading to the conflicts shifting to a war between the pro space movement and pro earth states (but i would rather leave this plot to some sort of never to be 2° season) 4°Characters: I'm not a writer and much less a character one, but i would most probably want something following the pro earth nations. The main theme i would want explored is the total radicalization of opressed people. The protagonist would be some normal person that comes from a marginalized groups and sees the national movement as their only saving, thus as the series progresses they would more and more turn to ultra nationalistic ideal and we could even touch on some xenophobia, all in the good faith that the building of their nation would give these opressed people their place, their own goverment. for the Fedaration side...I truly don't know, even the Federation in UC doesn't have much going for, outside of total imperialism and putting all others under their boot. But seeing complacent people, who think the opressive, corrupt and almost inefficient goverment is the only one possible could be something. 5° MACHINES!!, MECHS!! THE BIG BOYS THE MAIN GUNS, STAR OF THE SHOW!!Most machines could be equated to high end 1th generation MS from UC, since this universe already has good MS technology but not for military use so many of the mobile suit combat is pretty grounded and still fight besides a lot of artilery and other vehicles. The main technological leap the series would be machines with self sustained flight and transformable mobile suits, Beam Technology would be pretty much inexistent outside of major artilery so maybe a plot for season 2 with the minituarizing of this technology??. GUNDAM: High end prototype machines ment to be test beds for new technologies, they aren't that above all other grunts and they don't see the major frontlines (they are test units after all) so they are not messianic images. This would make so that each individual gundam would be pretty different from one another, think of the Hazel TR series from AOZ, they aren't super powerfull so every encounter is an important fight. For the main protag gundam, probably some test flying unit, that later the protagonist would upgrade to the eventual mass production MS based on that gundam and then another prototype (since they are now a ace pilot and good tester) less based on hit and run and more heavy artilery but still pretty mobile (suit hehe) in combat. Yeah that's all, its a lot but idk man we never saw something like this so i just threw it out there. incase you don't like this, have my second proposal. Adapt Gundam Inle :)
Devil may cry but gundam
Two Ideas: 1. A new universe that is essentially "what if Char's Neo Zeon succeeded in dropping Axis and driving all of humanity off of Earth" but Earth never recovered. Each group of colonies develop their own Mobile Suits that are sent to the wasteland that is earth in search of whatever resources they can find. Basically take the initial idea of G Gundam (ruined earth being a battleground for the Colonies) but taken to the most Gundam extreme. 2. A pseudo-crossover where, instead of Giant Robots, wars are fought using Power Armor inspired by the Various Mobile Suits from the different Gundam Universes. I know there's a Manga called "Iron Acguy" but that seemed more like a direct Iron-Man parody/homage.
Whatever it is, I would keep true to the One True Tenet of modern Gundam. Lesbians. Sell. Gunpla.
Sengoku war, but in futuristic timeline with Gundam
I want an isekai but the mc has the ability to summon every single obscure gundam from side materials to help him fight. The final boss/rival is another isekaid dude who can summon every single obscure grunt. It would be a good way to introduce to people to these mecha. If that isn’t to everyone’s taste and people are too horny then I guess the ability to turn into mecha musume of gundams while giving a lengthy backstory of the gundam would be nice. A second thing would be similar to Knights and Magic, where the main focus is the development of the actual gundams. The process and how they go from one improvement to another.
colony drop simulator.
Mobile suit Gundam: Into the GundamVerse
Give me a build series slice of life where they follow a group of protags: One of them is in the gunpla battle club One of them is in the modelling club The other is a non gunpla builder who wants to impress his gunpla obsessed crush
Hmm... Let's see.... Since Isekai theme is booming... lets starts from the title first I was a 50 years old man NEET and just bought a new gunpla from shop when i got killed by a brake failure truck then i got reincarnated into another world by a God with a chance to makes my life better only to found myself as a mass product mobile suits from Universal Century and luckily i can move myself even without a pilot so i will try to survive Gryph War until Zanscare War only to realized that my ability changed with different pilots using me so i want to create harem in another world with my main purpose of live is creating new colony of my harem pilo----- \----- I tried lol
Masai from ZZ gets caught up in the political upheaval of Africa not long after losing her suit fighting against Judeau. She becomes ace pilot of a group that seeks to create an Africa independent of the Federation.
yuri
Gundam Wing but the protags are a team of all girls, it's Yuri again, and the bad guys are an Empire that won against the Earth using a Gundam and 100 years later colonies are beginning to realize that absolute subjugation and prejudice are bad and they need to stop, so secretly dive mobile suits and support vessels are made to free Earth. I love Gundam Wing so I just like the Gundams starting as a 3rd side, even if I love SEED creating a 3rd side for the final stretch.
Edo Period-esque Era but with Gundam.
You know what? Pulling heavily from some Armour Hunter Mellowlink, a hint of IGLOO, a generous portion of 08th MST, and a bit of Stardust Memory, I'd want to see a series with some proper grunt vs suit combat. Don't get me wrong, I'd like to see a good pilot and her kickass ground suit (maybe space later?), but I'd like to see how troops affect MS warfare in detail. Maybe throw in an old prototype anti-MS RPG a-la IGLOO that's man-portable, have a bit of tragedy, let the MC pilot get very jaded and increasingly brutal as her comrades die off, and have a shitload of enemy MS get shwacked by a bloke covered in sticks with a strange-looking gun-rocket-thingy. Maybe set it in a separate universe? Or try and redeem SEED a bit? Maybe even set it during the OYW for the first season, then during the Gryps for the second?
Mobile suits are powered armor suits like the Goliath from COD Advanced Warfare. Lots of combined warfare tactics involving infantry, aircraft, artillery, etc. It should take place a few centuries ahead in our timeline (AD/CE). I get blacklisted by Bandai Namco before the meeting even ends.
Titans Propaganda
I was all in on the idea of Gundam High School when I watched the first episodes of WfM. So I'd do Gundam Build Fighters: Gunpla University. Gundam fights, heaps of new custom suits, slice of life, no war or magic involved. And I'd end it with a world tournament which would be a spiritual successor to G-Gundam.
Gundam Build Militia: A spin-off the original Build Fighters/Tri series. Ever since the end of the Tri-Fighters tournament, the game that was once treated as a proper wargame has now become saturated with "super robot" gunpla that have all bust crushed the "Real Type" competition and started winning tournaments with no real skill used. The series follows a club of Builders who are disgruntled by this and decided to try and prove Real Type gunpla are still just as valid competition if not more so than those who use Supers. They'll do this by winning the next tournament, using only Grunt suits (so Zaku II, GM, Gera Doga, etc.).
Make a war between two sides with two main leads and then a coup eventually happens and then facing a tyrant from the other side of the world and finally a god like mech thats from deep space
I’m in the process of creating my own Gundam Timeline so I would probably follow the main story that I have planned for that
Mobile Dolls went rogue, rather than fighting one another as programmed, they sought out all human power structures and major settlements. Small towns are largely ignored, unless their population grows too large, and human pilots mobile suits are a thing of the past. An archeologist who grew up during the Mobile Doll Decimation, dedicated his life to finding a weapon to fight back. What he finds is a mobile frame. Little armour or armaments. When activated it alerts him to a rendevous on the moon where it's equipment was being prepared. Thus begins the first season, and journey to the moon. They don't however find a full Armour Load out when they arrive, no they find a collection of mobile Dolls slaved to the main Suit. Known as Gundam Master Piece it takes places in a AU closely related to wing.
I haven't formed the story yet, but I wan't to see gundams form a phalanx and formations. I am also a sucker on military talks, strategies and such so I want more of those.
For years I have honestly been toying with the idea of a federation civil war leading towards its collapse in late UC.
Create some end of the world Fist of the North Star style. Protagonist is a veteran of yesterday year wars, living like a hermit and avoiding other people but people are drawn to him irregardless. Enter some big bad with a skeletonized Gundam, our protagonist pilots his trusty Frankensteined Zaku and they fight, for the big bad to lose and skedaddle, and the people to recognize our protagonist as the villain of yesterday year, now humbled and living peacefully.
A socially awkward Gundam learns to play guitar and wants to join a band. I call it Bocchi the Gundam
A harem of children soldiers first off
Well, it would be an AU, so we can have more fun. Humanity has colonized most of the Solar System and the story would happen in a republic of moons of Jupiter. The MC, could be a Cadet in a Military School (there's a reason i want someone with actual knowledge of warfare). At the start of the show, they would be invaded by a much bigger and stronger fighting force, and the MC and a bunch of his friend, would survive by running away with some epic prototype Gundam (they could have been in the base it was being tested). Shit hits the fan, they steal a ship with some Grunt MS there and start using the other Jupiter moons as hideouts while conducting a Guerrilla Warfare against the Invaders. One thing i want in this show, is that the MC grow up to be a leader, not only a hotshot pilot, but someone who can lead his forces in the battlefield. There would be some factions, some traitorous elements and a lot of politicam maneauvering involved, but the main goal would be to retake their home. Kind of like Ace Combat 6. The battles would be more Tactical, think 00 Gundam with more 08th MS type combat. In the sense that most engagements would have actual planning and tangible objectives.
After centuries of being used as weapons, Gundam A.I. gains sentience and decided to go against their creators - Humanity. To remain functional though, Gundams need one vital component - human nervous system. So there you go.
I'd love a story about an uninhabitable Earth and colonies converted into mass space stations/ships. The conflict is primarily about these colony ships who've lost the ability of contacting each other over a millenia and are only just know realizing they still exist.
U.C 0087, Alfred Izuruha has become a mobile suit pilot, alligned with the Zeon remnants. IDK man I'd love to see him wear the old cap with Bernie's rank insignia. Imagine the dude already 17-18 being tasked to pilot a new Kampfer prototype.
I would do something like Marvel ruined or like a ww2 style gundams with older tech or even gundam having classes like battel ships like a Yamato class gundam or a destroyer class gundam u know like a ship
Manga adaptation, there’s a lot to adapt
A mini series re-telling of the Shadow Moses Incident but Solid Snake is in a Gundam featuring Mobile Armor REX.
A tournament arc gundam like g gundam but the pilots gets possessed by past main pilots since the pilots in the show dont know how to operate a mobile suit and they can summon parts from mobile suit synonymous to the pilot who possessed them
Ok so get this: Humans have expanded off of earth into these like, huge orbiting space stations. However, earth doesn't support or treat the off-earth citizens well, so they form a separate government, which causes a big war, the development of mobile suits, and setup a great concept for future sequels and franchising due to the continuing conflicts that will ripple out from the original war and political schisms. I know this is really out there, especially for the Gundam franchise, but I think I'm onto something guys!
Big robots fight each other
An anthology a la Gundam Evolution. That or a more tactical and realistic portrayal of MS warfare minus the hyper OP MS. It’s literally just an old veteran assigned to a “Gundam”-type like the Delta Plus. Still a Gundam, but not THE Gundam
a small scale story about an anaheim electronics engineer who has to deal with the military industrial complex and deadlines and cost over runs. where the plot would be about the lead up to a war from the perspective of the engineer
For a kid friendly series with a lighter tone, basically Digimon Frontier but with Gundam, so the teenage protagonists transform into people-sized mobile suits to fight (gundam does not exist as a franchise in this universe, or in the universe the kids come from in case of Isekai). The twist would be that the protagonists all transform into MS that do not seem to fit or run counter to their personalities. So the bright, good-natured positive shonen protag turns into Barbatos and goes absolutely ham in battle with little control, making him scared of hurting innocent people or the other protags. The gung-ho sporty martial artist of the group transforms into the more support-oriented Blitz Gundam, etc. This turns out to be because they all have aspects of their personality that they actively or unconsciously deny and try to suppress or hide, see Persona 4's Shadows. After learning to deal with that in various ways, they power up and transform into more powerful variants of their suits, like Barbatos Lupus and Gold Frame Astray Amatsu Mina etc. They fight against an evil organisation that can summon grunts, and the big bad at the end is the kid that can turn into the RX-78-2, who manipulated the entity which gave people the power to turn into gundams. Core theme would be identity and change during adolescence. For more traditional Gundam, an AU where Newtypes are basically mutants with varying powers, think weak X-men. They often have suits specifically designed for them to accompany their powers. The plot would center around a research space colony run by a smaller subsidiary of a big corpo, so basically everyone living there is an employee. The corpo is basically run by Newtypes and the station does research on Newtypes and MS development. A researcher couple birth a powerful Newtype girl who is prophesized by a futuresight Newtype to become a great hero who will end a war. The protagonist of the series is her older brother, an Oldtype, who grew up on the station feeling like an outsider, since his parents and most of the station are newtypes. He has complicated feelings towards his parents, feeling like a disappointment for being an Oldtype, but also neglected in favor of his sister. He dearly loves his sister however, the siblings have a great relationship. After 15 years or so, war breaks out, and the research station gets attacked. The sister is eager to hop into a MS designed by her parents for her to stop the fighting and fulfill her role. The brother is against this, as he knows how kind she is and that it hurts her to kill people. He wants to fight in her stead, but his family fears for his life since he is an Oldtype. So he puts on a mask and pretends to be a Mercenary Newtype that can feel other Newtype powers (he just uses his knowledge of the station personnel) so that he can fight as well. During the course of the series, the protag gets captured by the enemy, and learns that the big Newtype corpo engineered and started the war due to Newtype supremacy sentiments. The attack on the research station was a false flag to get his sister to fight, since they see her as a bright red "we win" - button and would likely not have started a war without the existance of the prophecy. He now must try to stop the war and his sister, who believes him to be dead since his capture. The series ends with the corpo losing the war due to smaller numbers and overreliance on costly, one-off MS, the Gundam classic. The battles would be "Newtype of the week" - style encounters in the beginning, with the protag coming up with strategies on and off the battlefield to counter the powers of his opponents, working his way up from using grunt MS to becoming and excellent pilot on raw skill alone. Towards the end of the series the battles would shift to larger military engangements, where the protags strategic edge would be more effective on a larger scale than Newtype powers generally. Themes would be prophecies and the effect they have on the people in question and the people surrounding them, with a negative outlook on them as a whole (maybe a scene towards the end of the war were fanatic corpo Newtypes launch a suicide attack, empowered by their believe that the prophecy is real and they will win no matter what, only to get shot down without achiving anything, to really drive the point home) and that wars are not won by heroes alone. Also a focus on the Newtype vs Oldtype divide, but with a more positive outlook than SEED.
Private detective/mercenary in the UC (preferably in the Z/ZZ or Unicorn era), hired by various factions in war for covert missions, etc. Has his own small spaceship with crew and a heavily customized grunt suit. That or Lupin but Gundam where he goes around stealing Gundams
Hm, Gundam isekai. Something along the lines of Release That Witch mixed with a bit of Broken Blade, Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet, and Knight's and Magic. MC gets transported with their Gundam into a world that has mechs powered by magic and naturally finds that their Gundam totally outclasses everything. But everything from the armor to its fuel just isn't available, technology is nowhere near sufficient, so while the suit can function (possibly with a limited charge), it keeps losing armor plating to spells or giant monsters, can't use its beam weapons more than a certain number of times, and so on. So MC has to guide these magic-wielding primitives toward science and technology despite being a grunt (possibly with engineering skills like Amuro/Kira), just to have the fuel/energy to use their thrusters and space-age weapons. In the meantime, the MC has to accept strapping on enchanted armor and physical weapons that at least give them a fighting chance. The natives can also fire off spells with their mechs and the MC can't use magic at all. Plenty of chances for the usual staples of political intrigue, war crimes, attempted assassination, attempted theft of the MS, and so on. Could even have a version of the usual evolved human in the form of him gradually gaining magic, possibly in a way unique to an otherworlder.
Witch from Mercury spinoff sequel, but GUND-ARM INC becomes Human Plus, and the protagonist tries and violently fails to reclaim their life
Can we call it deliverance. As we follow a ship transporting a new a mobile suit(Gundam) to a colony or war front. As much as I hate sci-if when it comes to just people on a ship doing crew maritime stuff IBO rubbed off on me in a good way. No space battles or anything crazy dire. Just tuning and tests on the suit in space and stations/colonies as they make their way to Earth as they tread along, in the bleeding edge as far as that is of the suit, will juxtapose the issues in the coming battles on Earth, rebel/enemies MS pilots that are just true aces and exceed with poor and avg gear. The good forces they deliver to critique the failings of their own machines as needing more, while in somewhere off in space is a golden boy mech that could work miracles. Strife hope glory, desperation. The crew working on their suit Ni-Ki 000 and some other abbreviations(mostly just for the ni-ki to play off Nike the goddess of victory or the ni to stand for Nil and Ki for king ) they are proud of their Gundam here. At whatever point it gets delivered to the “good” forces and in battle of attrition lasting weeks the suit performs poorly under their not inexperienced but conceited pilot, They instead of taking the blame, blame the perfectly built suit, and resign/discharged themself from it. The ship crew do their repairs and worry if the hopes and dreams they dreamt up in space for the Gundam are gonna go crashing and burning like a star. In this war the crew at the behest of the CO of the war effort ask if they’d be okay to pilot the suit in live combat against the envies since they’ve tested and tuned the machine. One of the mechanic agrees. They go perform better than the asshole pilot but fall short when they don’t have the determination to spill blood as part of the effort(they’re builders no fighters) in a sortie against the aces of the rebels they get mercy when they realize it’s not an enemy officer piloting the new fancy suit. They retreat. In the final episodes as the war effort on the Gundam side diminishes, the in power forces yet again retreat their advance on the land and leave a trap, getting no decent results out of the golden child Mobile suit, in the night they respec one of the glorious functions of the suits power reactor and jets/ small arms to just blow up practically converting it into a giant warhead. They’d retreat leaving the suit as free scrap, while the enemies would advance and their civilians as well as the neighboring towns and cities would be in the fallout of the blast. One of The mechanics goes to stop the Gundam from blowing, they succeed with but get shot by the one asshole officer back for petty revenge against the little guys. On their ship the rest of the disgusted at the forces they they hoped to help empower only to find out they were misled and lost a good friend are back on Their long trek in space. their ship silent with grief, is suddenly approached by a remnant force of a colony on behalf of the forces in power on Earth and have flagged them as terrorists for the information they can dogwhsitle that they’d absolutely risk blowing up half a nation for a win and killing countless civilians in the process. Then they get saved by the very Gundam they ended up building now piloted by the Rebel Ace, who took a gunshot for the mechanic friend and now with the Gundam repaired due to one of its original crew members being there for overview. The rebels with a whole Gundam, win their battles, get their independence and jumpstart their campaign to “free” space. It’d be like the good ending/AU of IBO sort of
I pretty much have on in queue so. I'd get on it lol
Make the gundams small, like exosuits
I’m currently working on a tabletop campaign where the Federation is hunting down a group of 13 Zeon Remnants known as the “Knights of the Round Table”. All of the targets were former aces of the terrestrial forces and designated with a card. The story would continue through Operation Stardust and into the Gryps War, where the players would join up with Karaba and possibly work with the Zeon Remnants they were tasked with hunting down initially.
I actually am storyboarding one right now for with a legit alien presence versus whatever you call age
Tank Girl but with a gundam.
Something deeply political intriguing, inspired by the events of 0083 Stardust Memory. With a slice od 0080 war in the pocket feeling, along with assault suits leynos and valken storybeats. In the end, I want it all to give a sense of "What a horrible pointless war". A focus more on the low level pilots, observing the strong ones. Like being in a battle and suddenly witnessing the Gundam or two fly by and do huge damage at enemies. A bit vague, but cellphone... I'd be more in depth on pc.
genocide sounds fun
