And now theres "Knight Justice Gundam"... ![](http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/seed-destiny/knightjustice.jpg) Doesn't even look like Knight to me. Just looks like more crappy designing. However, I can't help but wonder if this and the Super Freedom Gundam mean theres a new METEOR unit for them? Oh well, the METEOR for these two would have to look just as bad.

it looks like all these new gundam are getting downgrades, daggers look better than nu freedom and nu justice. why did the freedom get a chest cannon and not justice? ![???](http://lemonstre.fr/robot-japan/smileys/huh.png) i just came up with a killer dagger variation.

To tell you the truth, Kunio is somehow very respected (enough to do all of SEED) and fortunatley, his work looks better on screen. I have never liked an original design by him, and his versions of others aren't too hot either.

Even these new designs are by Kunio Okawara? He's one of the founding fathers of MS Gundam. He's responsible for designing nearly all if not all the mecha for the original series--RX-78, Zakus, Gelgoogs, etc. He also did the designs for Zeta Gundam. Maybe he's getting burnt out on Gundam designs.

Okawara is the man. He's just staying with the times- making designs that the kids today like. Unfortunately, if you're fond of his classics you're bound to be disappointed. I'd rather have his 0079, zeta and votoms designs any day of the week.

The designs from MSG and some of them in Zeta look silly. Designs like the Zock, MS-06E Zaku Reconnaissance Type, or stuff from his M-MSV line like the RAG-79 Aqua GM just look stupid in my opinion. Quite honestly, I love the series themselves, but why do the actual art of the MS look so foolish and stupid? Maybe its just his style that I can't stand.

Renamed.
Super Freedom -> Strike Freedom
Knight Justice -> Infinite Justice
It might just be me, but the naming is still silly.

you know, these name's sound like the SD's, i guess they couldn't come up with a cool name so they just jacked the SD names.

Bazookafied, the zock does look stupid, but almost everything else in 0079 looks fine. It's full of classics the likes of which have never been matched, such as the zaku II, Gouf, Zgok and Dom. What I find lame is when everything has to look "cool" to the kiddies because otherwise the models and toys won't sell. That wasn't that much of a problem back in 0079 and zeta, but it's a huge problem nowadays, where it seems like every other ms is a gundam, and those that aren't gundams still have the same basic frame (like those zaku warriors).
I agree with you MuuMuu, those names remind me of the cheesy compound names people use in online games.
