Flag Fighters for Life

The Flag remains one of my favourite designs from that series and I was quite dissapointed to see that it was all but eliminated in the 2nd season (whereas the Tierens still played a prominent role).

But pics like this will always leave me with good memories of Season 1. How about you guys? What was your favourite mech from Gundam 00 - Season 1?

Definitely this one for me.

  2. I prefer GN Flag... Too bad there's no 1/100 version... I prefer that scale...

    Offtopic, can I ask something from you Buster-san...?

    You have both PG Red Frame and Aile Strike rite?

    Does Aile Striker fits on Red Frame?

    I'm planning to get the Aile Striker alone if it does fit on Red Frame... :3

  6. yunamon - gn flag is pretty cool and i like the design but im still siding towards the overflag for a bunch of little design reasons. wings, head and shoulders largely. and sorry i dont have aile strike, just regular strike without the upgrade so i cant answer your question.

    jas1 - yeah im not surprised youd say that for some reason. love sergei but dont like the tierens. well regular ground tieren is cool but the space versions... never really saw the point.

    G.G. - nice job... now i think i have to suppliment YOUR suppliment! haha

  8. Hard to say... I like a lot of mecha designs in Season 1, and I generally prefer them over Season 2. Flags have their fighter spirit in them, whereas Tierens have their groundpounding tank/APC feel to them. Generally I like the military feel behind the mecha designs in season 1~
