alright, im not gonna say that the AU shows suck, i watch them too, but face it, theyre the kiddy shows meant to sell model kits of the latest funky weird design (lol murasame) approved by bandai for making money. thats all these shows are for, and thats why a new OMG most powerful MS comes out every week in the show, not for story reasons, just to move product. can you honestly beleive, in the context of the story, it takes a couple months for a new gundam suit to come out? in UC it took years before the next gundam was created, and they were created for a purpose too, not just damn we need to boost sales, bring out a new gundam! the gundam was created as a prototype ms for tthe federation, based off of data from the guntank and guncannon, the gms were mass produced gundams. zeta rolls along, and shit, zeon has created some good ms over the years, we need to make a gundam MK II, to test out this new movable frame technology, and also since everyone now has beam weapons, the RX-78-2 is useless now. crap, the titans started mass producing the MKII (aka Barzam) we need something stronger, and we want to test out our transforming technology, based on the research and data from the methuss, lets build Z Gundam and so on it goes, in a logical manner, and with a realistic timeline. im not saying that the way that AU handles the development of new ms is the only reason why it is just a little silly in my opinion, its just one problem in a laundry list of issues i have with AU that keeps me from taking it seriously.
whew.
