If you had to make a Gundam series without a main Gundam Mobile Suit, which MS would you choose to focus on?
Just as the title implies! You’re in charge of a new project for the franchise, set in any universe of your choice, BUT you can’t have the main pilot using a Gundam for at least the first half of the story. You can’t only focus on grunt/non-Gundam Mobile Suits. You can still have a villain piloting a Gundam though. You can also choose to give the characters customized versions of said MS.
Personally, I think I’d set it either in the UC timeline or the 00 Timeline. Having a protagonist piloting a customized GM 3 or a Byarlant Custom! It’s not always we get to see a main character piloting a heavier/larger Mobile Suit, and I think these 2 have enough heft while also having a heroic feel to them.
Or alternatively: a Guncannon Light Type! It would be nice seeing a story in the GQuuuuuuX universe focused on Sayla in the OYW; especially seeing her having a similar development to Amuro’s, but also having her whole relationship with Char and Zeon as a whole.
So, which MS would you choose for this? And what story/universe would you choose for it?
