Slightly Off Topic, But MSV-R Adds A Custom Gouf Slated For Garma, The MS-07W Gouf Combined Test Type

Slightly off topic, but MSV-R adds a custom Gouf slated for Garma, the MS-07W Gouf Combined Test Type (or Gouf Compound Examination Type), a Gouf with a small Dopp fighter inside, not unlike the Gundam’s code block system.

Notably, the shields incorporate a thruster system, likely improving its mobility. Unfortunately, Garma never piloted it, and it was seized by the Federation at the conclusion of the war.

It shows up in MSV-R: the Return of Johnny Ridden as well.

There's so much official art of Garma's zaku even though it's never mentioned in the anime. When was he piloting it?

I drew a super itty-bitty teeny-tiny witch. I don't know why. Good for graphing calculator or flip phone?

Thank you kindly @gomez-alonzo-addams , I really couldn’t remember the stats for Victory.

I’m going to list the math for Mobile Fighter G Gundam Here, and I’ll briefly touch on how I defined the terms “Gundam” and “Gundam Pilot” above.

Gundam is: A pilotable, Mobile Suit bearing the name “Gundam” with additional bonuses for the following: twin-eye camera, V-fin (“horns”), face vents, tricolour colour scheme, one-off or limited-production unit.

Gundam Pilot is: An individual who can reasonably claim to have been the primary pilot for a Gundam. In the event of one Gundam being piloted by numerous people, pilots are either counted separately (so, multiple pilots for one Gundam) or assigned where most appropriate (IE Judau pilots both the Zeta and ZZ, but his “main” unit is the ZZ, so he counts as the ZZ’s pilot).

Neither of these are intended to hold up to much scrutiny, and I’m aware of several edge cases and mobile suits that don’t quite fit.

I truly do not understand where the idea that most Gundam protagonists die came from. I’ve even seen self-proclaimed fans warn newcomers that almost every Gundam protagonist dies, when that is patently not true!
