Greetings everyone. Basically this thread is to talk about one of the most undertalked Mobile Suits in GSD and actually, my favourite Grunt unit in all of Gundam Seed Destiny. Not the ZAKU, not the WINDAMS, not the Daggers, hell, not even about the GOUFs.

I'm talking about the mainstay of the current ORB army: the Murasames.

Does anyone think that these units are respectable? Personally, I've been fascinated by their verstatility in air combat and mobile suit fighting abilities. But so far, we've seen them pitted against Saviour, which beat 2 of them, an entire fleet against the Minerva, also defeated by the gay Impulse and 2 ZAKUs, and now, against the regular ZAFT grunts, their being pushed left right and centre.

Then again, it took only three to bring down Chaos, albeit they somehow missed the pilot. And in my humble opinion probably better than the BABI which looks so fat and doesn't appear to carry close combat weapons.

Personally, I think they're the victim of commercialism again, only cannon fodder to be sacrificed to Shinn Asuka. By itself, I think its a damn good mobile suit and much better than normal mobile suits with jet packs because by transforming into jets, they maximise their aerodynamic abilities. And this is the reason I believe Chaos was defeated, arrogant pilot aside.

Pity the Astray's have also been pushed back to non-existence. At least the Murasame's have killed something. I've yet to see the Astray's do any kills yet.

I know we're all hyped out with the DOM troopers but don't forget these worthy units that even now, made ZAFT fear the ORB military. If we can believe the Dullindal is evil, then its the reason why ORB is attacked in the first place, the capure of Djibril being at best, a pretext only to remove the next most powerful nation on planet Earth.
