These are Gundams?
'Knightmare Gundam', medium-low speed, medium armor, medium beam, extreme speed 'charge' attack, melee is a Progressive/Energy/Holy/Demonic/Jello Lance. If Lance is disabled/broken, refers to progressive sword. Lance is extreme damage at point during charge, not terribly effective otherwise.
The lance is a truly terrifying weapon - you've got ~1800lbs of horse, ~250 pounds of rider and armor. The meat involved is agressive, highly trained, and in good condition.
It's charging you at ~30-35 mph, and it's focussing all the energy of that movement and momentum into a _single point_.
'Swarm Gundam', not actually a single robot, but a collection of 15-20 smaller robots. Sure, they don't have an Omega class weapon, but they've each got a medium beam, and they can all target the _exact_ same place. High manuverability, high sensors, high speed.
'Meat Gundam' - medium speed, medium beam (external rifle pod) melee is pair of progressive axes, melee strength is extreme - you don't want to tangle with this guy, he'll push his luck and dodge and defense to get to melee range, and then he'll rip your frigging arm off and beat you to death with it. Best piloted by berserker type.
'Magus Gundam' - Stealth and Speed, and a slow-charging progressive scythe. Best played in an asteroid field or other broken-ground condition, where Magus can disappear. Best played by a gamester who will deploy comm drones everywhere to provide spoofed taunting laughter for the enemy.
is there a 'production model' Gundam, like there was a Production Model EVA? If so, can you imagine how boned a Gundam would be if it was up against a trained squad of soldiers driving Production Models?
I haven't watched much Gundam- but I've gotten the impression that these people are _warriors_. In a set-piece battle, really in anything where they can be _made_ to come to battle, a warrior cannot stand against soldiers.
So.. Soldier Gundams. the British Infantry Line brought into space - first rank, FIRE. Second Rank - FIRE. let's see you advance against the massed volley fire of a combat group of those boys.. The beam rifles they are carrying may not match the rate of fire, or the power per shot of your weapon, O Hypothetical Gundam Driver, but there's two dozen of them, see..
