Gundam Comparisons

Just for the fun of it... I would like to post pictures of Gundams that have been upgraded/built based on a previous models and observe their similarities as well as differences...

The pictures in this post are better viewed if you do not 'check' the picture auto-resize option in your advanced internet options panel.

This is not in chronological order... The ones on the left are from Gundam Seed, and the ones on the right are the upgraded models based on the left ones from Gundam Seed Destiny...

Firstly
L: ZGMF-X13A Providence (Piloted by Rau Le Creuset)
R: ZGMF-X666S Legend (Piloted by Rey Za Burrel)


The biggest similarity between the two would be the DRAGOONS(Disconnected Rapid Armament Group Overlook Operation Network System) all around their backpacks... Providence having 11 and Legend having 10...

L: ZGMF-X10A Freedom (Piloted By Kira Yamato
R: ZGMF-X20A Strike Freedom (Piloted By Kira Yamato)


Don't let the wings fool you... Strike Freedom's Wings mount 8 DRAGOONS...

L: ZGMF-X09A Justice (Piloted By Athrun Zala)
R: ZGMF-X19A ∞ Justice (Piloted By Athrun Zala)


∞ Justice exceeds the Justice as it's backpack serves as a destructive weapon on it's own... It has 2 MR-Q17X "Griffon 2" beam blade, mounted on wings and a MA-M02G "Super Lacerta" lifter tip beam saber...

L1:GAT-X105 Strike (Piloted by Kira Yamato & Mwu La Flaga)
L2:GAT-X105/E-X01 Aile Strike (Piloted by Kira Yamato & Mwu La Flaga)
L3:GAT-X105/E-X02 Sword Strike (Piloted by Kira Yamato)
L4:GAT-X105+/E-X03 Launcher Strike (Piloted by Kira Yamato)
R1:ZGMF-X56S Impulse Gundam (Piloted by Shin Asuka & Lunamaria Hawke)
R2:ZGMF-X56S/α Force Impulse (Piloted by Shin Asuka & Lunamaria Hawke)
R3:ZGMF-X56S/β Sword Impulse (Piloted by Shin Asuka & Lunamaria Hawke)
R4:ZGMF-X56S/γ Blast Impulse (Piloted by Shin Asuka & Lunamaria Hawke)



Impulse's role in GSD is pretty much similar to Strike's role in GS... The first Gundam to fight for the team that we all think is fighting for the most justifiable reasons... Although Impulse has a more interesting function compared to Strike...

L1:FX-550 Sky Grasper (Piloted by Mwu La Flaga, Cagalli & Tolle Koenig)
L2:FX-550/E-X01 Aile Grasper (Piloted by Mwu La Flaga & Cagalli)
L3:FX-550/E-X02 Sword Grasper (Piloted by Cagalli & Tolle Koenig)
L4:FX-550/E-X03 Launcher Grasper (Piloted by Mwu La Flaga)
R1:Core Splendor (Shin Asuka & Lunamaria Hawke)
R2:Chest Flyer
R3:Leg Flyer
R4:Force Silhouette Flyer
R5:Sword Silhouette Flyer
R6:Blast Silhouette Flyer


Then we have the evolution of Kira Yamato's Gundams... From the beginning of Gundam Seed till the end of Gundam Seed Destiny
GAT-X105 Strike Gundam
GAT-X105/E-X01 Aile Strike Gundam
GAT-X105/E-X02 Sword Strike Gundam
GAT-X105/E-X03 Launcher Strike Gundam
ZGMF-X10A Freedom
ZGMF-X20A Strike Freedom


And the evolution of Athrun Zala's Gundams
GAT-X303 Aegis Gundam
ZGMF-X09A Justice Gundam
ZGMF-X23S Saviour Gundam
ZGMF-X19A ∞ Justice Gundam


All bearing similaries to portray the pilot's range of Gundams...
