I wish they make more Gundam series that only have one Gundam like 1979 & Turn A to make them more special

I somewhat agree, multiple Gundams take away from the specialty of the Gundam as it exists within the show, and it sometimes gets kinda silly when Gundams just become so prominent there's no way to tell how they're different from normal grunts, except for the head and that they're tough to kill. Witch from Mercury had a nice idea with Gundams being MS with special technology, but it still had way too many Gundams, honestly. If they had come up with different designs/names for non-Aerial Gundams, it would have been much cooler, since then Lfrith Thorn and Ur, Pharact, and Schwarzette would've actually been "faux machines" trying to mimic the actual original Gundam in the setting, which is Aerial.

Later series definitely inherited some bad habits from Zeta.

I agree, they mostly suck now and are too over designed and not in a good way

Is it called a Gundam? No? Then it's not a Gundam.

Zeta just had the Mk II and Zeta. The whole idea of a Gundam team is more a ZZ legacy. Zeta at least made the effort to launch additional non-Gundam units alongside the Gundams like the Methuss, Rick Dias, and Nemos. In ZZ all of the AEUG support forces were gone.

No that's dumb, Gundams are weapons too. Zeta made the right call by progressively improving upon them.

It's inconsistently called a Gundam in various materials like disc menus and art books, even though the model kit box doesn't label it as such.

Even in the show itself Corin screams "Gundam!" once when seeing the Turn-X's moonlight butterfly.
