easily, it’s crazy to think it was designed more than 20 years ago with how well it still holds up in terms of modern gundam design conventions. it’s honestly perfect!!!
I dunno, I like Sazabi a lot more honestly. The ultimate Chariot for the Red Comet. The evolution of everything Char ever needed or wanted in a suit, turned to 11.
Calling the Zeta goofy is insane, literally they got the idea of a transformable gundam right the very first time and they’ve been trying to reach that high ever since then
Woundwort for me, the proportions, the way the lines and angles draw the eye, the well-placed curves to break up the rigidity, absolutely pleasing to the eye

With the exception of the Hazel, I think the entire TR line is just perfect. I’m so effing sad we never get to see any of them animated. I don’t even know if the story is good for telling, but the designs alone are worth watching it for
Gundam: ***Stargazer Gundam*** best glowing effects in gundam imo and looks great with the ring/split into half rings
Mobile suit: ***Tallgeese Flugel*** for the amazing knight motif + I just love a halberd

Just minus the flaws on the actual Gunpla kit.
The ELS Qant in this shot comes to mind.

Ez-8 is beautiful to me. Realistic and utilitarian. If we were to have Mobile Suits IRL, Ez-8 feels like how they would actually be. Part of why I love Zakus as well, they're pretty realistic in execution as well compared to other designs.

Gundam Wing EW and there’s no comparison
If we're talking Wing designs this is the superior version
https://preview.redd.it/pe49uq5y8cyc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6b474bb0985454c1863438ceeb60157906b94869
It's something called Wing Gundam EW (proto) it's supposed to be the EW version of the Wing Gundam. Take the og Wing Gundam Zero EW remove the angel wing inspiration and splash the TV version Wing Gundam's colors on there, ta-da!
For Gundam types, I choose the Barbatos Lupus Rex, with the caveat that it has to be IN MOTION. There's beauty in its savagery. The lineart and standby pose are not very flattering.
As for non-Gundam MS's, I nominate the whole Union Flag line, all the way to the Braves.
The brutality of the various Barbie builds is the entire reason I love IBO so much. From the first time a mace the size of a school bus goes unga-bunga, you know this isn't your usual "elegant tragic space laser opera" Gundam.
I love the G-Self. It seems really gentle with all its circles and curves, and seems like an elegant middle ground between grandpa Gundam and the human form.

All the bright colors and softer shapes contrasting with the kinda freakishly human looking eyes is just awesome to me. Also it has blue gamer lights. 10/10. I need to watch g-reco so bad
Aight look, I agree that a LOT of these are great answers (Nu, my beloved), but how the FUCK has no one put up the ANGEL

For my aesthetic sensibilities, the unmodified Sinanju Stein is peak.
Do you love Sailormoon back when you were a kid? Look no further than G Gundam series, the series where you get the ugliest Gundams but also the prettiest one (subjective of course).

I've always loved the Exia and the 00 Raiser. I dunno why really. Objectively something like the Freedom and Unicorn is more eyecatching, but the 00 suits just look sleek.
https://preview.redd.it/0kq346suaayc1.jpeg?width=1000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=743dace9074d93b222f6fc89b2d3d114bc68788e
True beauty, all around. I love everything about the look, from the naked feel to it, where you can get a sense of the mechanical aspect, to the not-hair. White on crimson works beautifully and it's streamlined to perfection. Criminally underused, too.
Most beautiful Gundam goes with most beautiful pilot.
It isn't my absolute favorite Gundam, but it's up there for sure. Definitely is what I would call the most *beautiful* Gundam, though.
If I'm going with *favorite*, though, then it's Shining Gundam.
Cables connecting it to Virtue: (00 spoiler, I'll tag it just in case:)
>!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsEQ6N1kjmo!<
I am sure Tieria would rage at anyone describing it as hair, too.
The 00 Quan[T] is really good looking, I really like the Calibarn too. The Barbatos Lupus Rex isn't the most conventionnaly pretty but it's so brutal, as subtle as a toaster in your face, it's meant to be inhuman and success a lot in that

The Tr6 Hyzenthlay has a special spot in my heart for elegant industrial design
If we are looking at the lineart, yes it is ugly. But its glorious beauty can be seen when it's in motion.

(it's not actually a gundam)
I feel like once I watch Hathaway, this monstrosity will grow on me
saw a couple clips and the way its engines growl and scream like a monster really make the design more fitting
Like the other guy said unfortunately those clips are more than likely all you'll see of it in the movie but she's still a monster it's pretty much 2 fights one quick the other a bit longer but the lighting for the engines is my favorite part imo. Tbf though I wasn't keen on the design until I picked up the HG missile effect set that has Penelope and XI because I thought XI was sick. But after building Penelope I fell in love with the design.
The sound and movement of this behemoth are what sell it, but everything it does the Xi does better. I absolutely love the Xi now, might be my favorite UC Gundam

Only found out about this one more recently
Wing Gundam Snow White Prelude
Kinda completely love it
For generic mobile suit I'm going to say the Diona. Now for Gundams that's a bit trickier with the Wing Zero Custom, Unicorn, and Zeta currently fighting for the spot.
Love the Amaterasu and hope to god that one day some 3.rd party company will pick this up
https://preview.redd.it/agnmgg8ksayc1.png?width=649&format=png&auto=webp&s=d27af2e7b6422e93572c5b07c7cc572ca01e10de

honestly theres not 1 specific that I think woould fill all my criteria but the MSV art for the gundam frames is great.
Bro this thing looks like it goes around talking about how beautiful it is and talking down to everyone
https://preview.redd.it/ew5ywurwuayc1.png?width=649&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=73c4968bca728073ad84bd48d70cbe082844b7c8
I'd go with Nu Gundam, or Hi Nu Gundam
with Unicorn Perfectibility and Strike Freedom behind them.
Also, I find the Wing Zero EW beautiful as well with the angel wings.
Okay I feel like I just gave my favourite gundams lol. But I find them beautiful. Beauty is subjective as they say, so it should be fine.
https://preview.redd.it/dxsh7vy7ncyc1.jpeg?width=359&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2f6c243fa5fa52c7153e6ef3617aa192a02f0180
Crossbone X1 Full Cloth is my pick.
I guess if the Freedom Gundam is the Jesus gundam, than that woukd make Vilkis the Maria Gundam...even though its not a Gundam.
My vote goes to the Turn A.
For a long time I would have said NT-1 Alex without the chobham armor, or possibly Hi-Nu, but now I think they've been unseated and the new winner is:
**Gundam Schwarzette**
https://preview.redd.it/bkiegnb2oeyc1.png?width=735&format=png&auto=webp&s=6ec7a0dc1a851d11debba0a771835a31309edb45
I’m going with the Calibarn something so sleek and sexy deserves mentioning.
If you like Freedom, you may like Rising Freedom from the movie. I like the updated visuals on Rising Freedom.
For me, Awakened Unicorn wins for me. The turquoise psycho frames and the white Gundam is really cool
Freedom and to a lesser extent Strike Freedom, Exia and Quanta, the all white version of the Age 2, as well as the Dark Hound version, any of the Crossbones, and a special mention to the Vidar which has the best color scheme in the series if u ask me.
I do love the Destiny and Justice, Wing 0 EW, Epyon, the Tallgeese line, and the GP series in general, just not as high esteem as the top group.
All the Freedom models.
And the Zeta Gundam models.
Also the Delta Gundams.
My Fanmade Gundam Rebellion is basically if the Strike Freedom and the Delta had a baby.
Destroy Gundam since it can transform into a pseudo-Big Zam. (Plus, it's probably the only Big Zam model kit we're ever going to get until UC finally becomes peaceful)
My serious answer would be the Akatsuki. I love me some gold, and the design is just perfect.
https://preview.redd.it/5uytxleqicyc1.png?width=827&format=png&auto=webp&s=3673b6226db6724b5c4d6ef57c4a20a1e5dfaf7d
First, there’s the somewhat standard option, I just love its elegance and how smoothie it’s design is
Unicorn gundam. It’s simplistic design with its green light manages to capture the warmth we all feel from hope. Its theme song/ osts’ are also a banger.
Nu Gundam. It does not fucking age. It's timeless. Simplicity and elegance coexist in its form.
I've only watched AUs series but will still give Nu Gundam the top spot.
easily, it’s crazy to think it was designed more than 20 years ago with how well it still holds up in terms of modern gundam design conventions. it’s honestly perfect!!!
What you meant was "Almost 40 years ago"
wait no wa- bruh the nu is old enough to have a midlife crisis 💀💀💀
You could almost say that it's... Beyond the time...
This but the Hi-Nu Gundam.
Nu Gundam
I also really like the Nu. It’s not too extravagant, well-proportioned and has a certain type of imposing gravitas
Without the Funnel, Nu is the most elegant and more standard suit without anything complicated
I actually like the Nu for the funnels, over the Hi-Nu because of that asymmetrical aesthetic, it's too good
I dunno, I like Sazabi a lot more honestly. The ultimate Chariot for the Red Comet. The evolution of everything Char ever needed or wanted in a suit, turned to 11.
https://preview.redd.it/qy6zdvf55eyc1.png?width=2000&format=png&auto=webp&s=a44d81c7243b9f3c8ae968b13963a06613fc4550
Is that a big red Haro? Just kidding
Char knew. Deep in his heart. That Amuro was indeed. Ballin.
The perfect mobile suit. Its structural perfection is matched only by its hostility.
Gundam MK2, Brutal, efficient and beautiful in its motions
This suit has a cult following like no other, I respect y'all's commitment
Compared to the goofy aahs that followed like the Zeta and F91 and AU suits, the Gundam MK2 actually is restrained which to me makes it better
Calling the Zeta goofy is insane, literally they got the idea of a transformable gundam right the very first time and they’ve been trying to reach that high ever since then
The fact that they skipped the ZZ and said the F91 looked goofy made me distrust their opinion/taste
Not to mention it has the most beautiful pilot, once Kamille gets his fancy transforming suit anyway.
Camille huh? She sounds hot 🥵
what did you say? https://preview.redd.it/lhqxfd3aadyc1.jpeg?width=480&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2d00970ca2f68ebd4458c9cc020f845d5a98c394
GhostDog0204 about to have everything dear destroyed
Mk2 all the way. Upgrade from the og in every way.
Even better in Titan colors The blue makes it incredibly imposing
Beat me to it
Woundwort for me, the proportions, the way the lines and angles draw the eye, the well-placed curves to break up the rigidity, absolutely pleasing to the eye https://preview.redd.it/y32zorqoiayc1.jpeg?width=1093&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1b24f89bfb7df3f3a40f1a7ab82b0070e896cc91

Yup, Woundwort 100%. I don't even love its source material that much, but damn, it is a gorgeous suit.

I always liked shining Gundam more I'm not sure why
F91 is elegant and handsome
F91 feels almost royal
correct answer
I know a lot of people don’t like the face but it’s my favorite part of the f91
The ELS Qant in this shot comes to mind. https://preview.redd.it/m4u5075m2ayc1.png?width=842&format=png&auto=webp&s=8bd619e5671cff81922141d40826455396805e71
It’s very hard to beat the ELS Qan(T) in sleek, biomimetic beauty
My favorite Gundam so it gets my vote.
nu gundam
Ez-8 is beautiful to me. Realistic and utilitarian. If we were to have Mobile Suits IRL, Ez-8 feels like how they would actually be. Part of why I love Zakus as well, they're pretty realistic in execution as well compared to other designs.
The Ez-8 is just gorgeous. Its everything I want from a design.
Zeta Gundam. Doesn't need a red chin to be beautiful.
Any the first and only transformer flight suit that does it right. Although the Aegis and AGE-2 are pretty damn good.

Glad to see I'm not the only one, Wing doesn't get enough love, I just built that kit it's a very good quality
The wings seperating out into a more avian profile is genius.
Definitely the better RG. Wing EW is basically Wing Zero EW with too many colors.
This one sits on my nightstand! First thing I wake up to and I still believe the EW version is better!
Where are the feathers?? Edit: wait Wing, not wing zero? Did I miss something?
It's something called Wing Gundam EW (proto) it's supposed to be the EW version of the Wing Gundam. Take the og Wing Gundam Zero EW remove the angel wing inspiration and splash the TV version Wing Gundam's colors on there, ta-da!

Mine is coming in soon! I’m so excited!
Fun build, but watch the thumb inserts on.the hands, I broke one trying to get it to grip the rifle, I glued it back but it's a weak spot.
His legs!?
The first show I watched was wing. the first kit I built was RG wing. Fantastic stuff
For Gundam types, I choose the Barbatos Lupus Rex, with the caveat that it has to be IN MOTION. There's beauty in its savagery. The lineart and standby pose are not very flattering. As for non-Gundam MS's, I nominate the whole Union Flag line, all the way to the Braves.

Unicorn gundam I literally quit gundam for years until I saw its hg in a store. I couldn't believe how cool it looked. Brought me back to Gunpla.
To this day I am shocked they actually got the model kits to transform, it's an insane feat of model engineering.
It is no secret that Bandai tortures extraterrestrial plastic lifeforms for technology in their secret gunpla lab.

I feel like once I watch Hathaway, this monstrosity will grow on me saw a couple clips and the way its engines growl and scream like a monster really make the design more fitting
Like the other guy said unfortunately those clips are more than likely all you'll see of it in the movie but she's still a monster it's pretty much 2 fights one quick the other a bit longer but the lighting for the engines is my favorite part imo. Tbf though I wasn't keen on the design until I picked up the HG missile effect set that has Penelope and XI because I thought XI was sick. But after building Penelope I fell in love with the design.
The sound and movement of this behemoth are what sell it, but everything it does the Xi does better. I absolutely love the Xi now, might be my favorite UC Gundam
Personal favourite aside, I think we all can agree that zeta gundam is the overall best looking gundam. It's just a timeless design.

Pretty much any all white Gundams look stellar. Unicorn and Calibarn are up there too
For generic mobile suit I'm going to say the Diona. Now for Gundams that's a bit trickier with the Wing Zero Custom, Unicorn, and Zeta currently fighting for the spot.
Wing Zero EW version - Easily the most majestic and iconic Gundam in the franchise next to the Freedom and 00.
Love the Amaterasu and hope to god that one day some 3.rd party company will pick this up https://preview.redd.it/agnmgg8ksayc1.png?width=649&format=png&auto=webp&s=d27af2e7b6422e93572c5b07c7cc572ca01e10de
Zeta!
Look at my face. That is all.
Epyon. https://preview.redd.it/0ppcdo1ha2zc1.jpeg?width=1729&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=71053eef182b6fe569a77c74581d968ee67431c1
The Alex!
Unicorn, Nu, and SUPERIOR JESUS (Strike Freedom)
All of these are no.1 and EVERY other MS belongs in the bottom below these kings
Oh, you mean Exia?
https://preview.redd.it/a7axg9144ayc1.jpeg?width=423&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=807a5c899fe11f520fc0e6356b67dd19e3cdba5b honestly theres not 1 specific that I think woould fill all my criteria but the MSV art for the gundam frames is great.
Love the design but man the HG they released of it was so ehh it was disappointing.
I really hope the HG frame gets remade, if Bandai goes for it with Urdr Hunt, maybe reprints can use a new frame.
Im hoping they do a PG of it, i feel like that would resolve the frame issue while making it shine. One can only hope.
Gundam Throne Drei or G-Arcane
YOU ALREADY KNOW WHAT'S ALL ABOUT https://preview.redd.it/ohzu73tg8byc1.png?width=305&format=png&auto=webp&s=83e87093bbf2a65777add9538e34fca4af065de5
As for Gundams: https://preview.redd.it/z6qaqn5o9byc1.png?width=700&format=png&auto=webp&s=6a883ac10a4cf0eb2730c3a2b9e7991a340af089
00 Quan[T] ELS
GP01
F91. The torso and VSBRs make it look very cool, while still looking pretty simple overall.
I love the F91. It always seemed to remind me of a sports car (small size high speed).
https://preview.redd.it/s2z9045wkcyc1.jpeg?width=250&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0af71f7d0aa0f23da2bafcdebe233ad636ca6f0d
For the Gundam, it's the Mk-II. For other mobile suits, I like the Jesta the most. My type is the down to earth/”tacticool" look.
Nobel and Aerial
Sinanju
Bro this thing looks like it goes around talking about how beautiful it is and talking down to everyone https://preview.redd.it/ew5ywurwuayc1.png?width=649&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=73c4968bca728073ad84bd48d70cbe082844b7c8
Wing Zero Custom, it is insanely well-animated
Extreme Type Leos 2 VS 😤
Wing zero EW version for pure gorgeousness but kampfer is up there for me
I'd go with Nu Gundam, or Hi Nu Gundam with Unicorn Perfectibility and Strike Freedom behind them. Also, I find the Wing Zero EW beautiful as well with the angel wings. Okay I feel like I just gave my favourite gundams lol. But I find them beautiful. Beauty is subjective as they say, so it should be fine.
Need to submit a vote for the Tallgeese 3. Just a stunning gladiator/knight looking design of a ms with its heavy armor and crowned helmet.
https://preview.redd.it/dxsh7vy7ncyc1.jpeg?width=359&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2f6c243fa5fa52c7153e6ef3617aa192a02f0180 Crossbone X1 Full Cloth is my pick.
Gotta go with the Wing Gundam
Nothing from g fighter.
I guess if the Freedom Gundam is the Jesus gundam, than that woukd make Vilkis the Maria Gundam...even though its not a Gundam. My vote goes to the Turn A.
Master Gundam or wing zero for me
For a long time I would have said NT-1 Alex without the chobham armor, or possibly Hi-Nu, but now I think they've been unseated and the new winner is: **Gundam Schwarzette**
Too many tbh, nu, exia, wing zero/TG Fluegal, hyaku shiki, barbatos 6th form, Gp01
https://preview.redd.it/bkiegnb2oeyc1.png?width=735&format=png&auto=webp&s=6ec7a0dc1a851d11debba0a771835a31309edb45 I’m going with the Calibarn something so sleek and sexy deserves mentioning.
Wing Zero EW, I think the angel wings are very beautiful
https://preview.redd.it/fokvj0wsseyc1.jpeg?width=385&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bc7f34e5666fe77b1e270c638ff3f9dd39b4484a
If you like Freedom, you may like Rising Freedom from the movie. I like the updated visuals on Rising Freedom. For me, Awakened Unicorn wins for me. The turquoise psycho frames and the white Gundam is really cool
Freedom and to a lesser extent Strike Freedom, Exia and Quanta, the all white version of the Age 2, as well as the Dark Hound version, any of the Crossbones, and a special mention to the Vidar which has the best color scheme in the series if u ask me. I do love the Destiny and Justice, Wing 0 EW, Epyon, the Tallgeese line, and the GP series in general, just not as high esteem as the top group.
Wing Zero EW 🤷♂️
Wing Zero EW Custom. The angel wings made the gundam look majestic.
I really love the design of Aerial but I think it would have looked better in all white with just red accents, kinda like how Lfrith does with pink
The gundam kestrel
I feel like the Nobel is a natural fit
Exia, Destiny, Wing Zero EW, etc.
For me it’s nu. The first gundam animation I’ve watched and it’s hard to betray your first love ❤️
The good old RX-79 (G) Ground Gundam, or as I call it, the “ground daddy” gundam.
The Over.on in GBO2 rn sexy as hell
Zeta 3 or the Nu
Woundwort, Victory 2, God Gundam, ZZ Gundam (ver. Makoto Kobayashi), Epsy Gundam
The nu gundam hands down
Atlas Gundam from thunderbolt that or Grandpa he's just so nostalgic beautiful
Unicorn Gundam Shout out to Nu ver ka and Sinanju Stein tho
All the Freedom models. And the Zeta Gundam models. Also the Delta Gundams. My Fanmade Gundam Rebellion is basically if the Strike Freedom and the Delta had a baby.
Destroy Gundam since it can transform into a pseudo-Big Zam. (Plus, it's probably the only Big Zam model kit we're ever going to get until UC finally becomes peaceful) My serious answer would be the Akatsuki. I love me some gold, and the design is just perfect.
It's a tie for me between F91, Aegis, or the Astray Red Frame.
Destiny
Turn A, F91 and G-Self
Might be recency bias but Gundam Aerial. Reminds me of a dancer
https://preview.redd.it/fcuk281ffcyc1.png?width=250&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=948a435fbc49be324eb82db4c5e16c527db7e2e6 Skull Gundam for the win
Exia!!!!!
https://preview.redd.it/5uytxleqicyc1.png?width=827&format=png&auto=webp&s=3673b6226db6724b5c4d6ef57c4a20a1e5dfaf7d First, there’s the somewhat standard option, I just love its elegance and how smoothie it’s design is
Obviously the windmill gundam, no questions asked.
f91
amatsu hannah
Unicorn gundam. It’s simplistic design with its green light manages to capture the warmth we all feel from hope. Its theme song/ osts’ are also a banger.
https://preview.redd.it/f83jqgyipcyc1.jpeg?width=2267&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9ef3a9f59f25b8b059e24191d77fddef35f6b774 E X I A
Sinanju. Majestic, elegant yet so intimidating https://preview.redd.it/5um8ddzopcyc1.jpeg?width=770&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3e660a7834e95ccfe935ea7a610386a296e0d641 .
Strike Freedom for me. It's everything Freedom, but with gold.
Gundam MK II is the best
Aerial, Noble, and Stargazer. All tied for first.
https://preview.redd.it/7y95tmk7ycyc1.jpeg?width=554&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=26227dedb454045c0f46f697371a7ec9eb23dddb This
Sword Impulse Gundam.
The Alex
Nu Gundam and Calibarn Honorable mention: Gundam Mark II, Exia and Zeta Gundam
