transforming mecha peaked way too early

Transforming brought a new chapter to mecha anime that made the genre explode in popularity. The mecha genre might have died in the 80s if it didnt happen.

Transforming model kits always suck and it's why it never caught on with gundam. It's better with toys.

I doubt it, people love talking about how dead mecha is but it's never going to happen.

Macross is the only time transforming multi-mode mecha have been done right, every other series always kludges it so one mode looks brick ugly

Vic Viper is easy to spot, but the guys on the right remind me of some of the Ka core fighter variants

It's arguably less complex than the regular Z Plus but now you have huge boosters crashing into everything.

Everything being transformable
Nowadays its just regulated to one suit whose entire gimmick is that it can transform

Fair enough yeah, Zeta had a lot of transformables, so did ZZ and Victory.

transformable mobile weapons are mostly a stupid idea, and only a handful of mobile suits should be transformable.
and they sure as hell shouldn't be so damn as transformable as Transformers, the Pisces from Gundam Wing was absolutely stupid.

I do like the transformable tank-based ones like the one from IGLOO 1 & 2, and F91.
Those at least make sense for increased speed or stability for firing the heavier guns.

>got asshimar kit, love it
>get other transforming kits, their transformations are always unsatisfying to do and the result is nowhere near as clean
When you're right you're right, OP.

i used to think the loto and other guntank transformers were a bit lame but I come to appreciate they have no need to go full transformers turn into something else, they're a mech sitting down on tracks to lower its profile and stabilise it because that's exactly as far as they need to go to accomplish the job.
