What comes to mind when you think of the gaudiest, most over-desinged mecha?

>>23580692 (OP)
>over-desinged
Why do americans use this critique for everything?

>>23580716
It sounds less aggressive than "over-weight"

>>23580716
>accusing americans of brevity
This is a great day. The pendulum has swung, the world is healing.

>>23580692 (OP)
Seedslop.

>>23580716
What the fuck are you talking about?

>>23580741
these look shit ugly

All of our greatest "designs" in history were the absolute height of gaudy and detail-dense

That's pretty tame for SD stuff

>>23580692 (OP)
do clusterfucks count?
>>23580716
But granteed base is so much better than g drac.

Phenex, probably

>>23580716
Because they're obsessed with simplicity as the be all end all quality of design

>>23588024
It's called modern art for a reason, grandpa.

>>23580741
Minimalist, functional, practical
Words that definitely should apply to giant robots

>I love the Granteed but I hate the Penelope.
What kinda shit taste is this? I guess I like the former and its upgrade because I played J.

>>23580692 (OP)
Fortesgigas is way more gaudy than dracodeus

Americans didn't invent minimalism what the actual fuck.

>>23580716
>Someone says anything
>REEEEEEEEEEEE AMERICANS!!!

Probably one form of retarded clusterfuck that are the K originals. I can't even distinguish them mentally.

Unicorn by itself is already overgreebled, but then you get into the upgrades...

Optimus Prime/Grand Convoy from Energon/Super Link.
The base figure looks like it has a roid gut with twig arms and legs because it combines with other four vehicles for limbs, then it can combine with WIng Saber, then with Omega Supreme plus his four previous limbs...

insert Sentai mech final upgrade that's 30 robots stapled together and probably can barely even move its limbs

>>23580692 (OP)
Samurai Haoh

Every Katoki shit

>>23588913
I don't think Omega Convoy ever equipped the drones in the series itself, it just summoned them to orbit around it and fire a big joint laser.

>>23587963
Funny because without that ugly chicken armor it’s a pretty cool unit

>>23580692 (OP)
I would like it way more if normal Granteed wasn't twice as cool

this design is great

>>23584810
The art is retarded but it is in service of a very good, readable sprite where the things that clash in the full art work together well.
Also the magic pizza swords are originally from Dew Prism/Threads of Fate but you casuals aren't ready for that conversation.

Noo it's not you absolute moron. The design is so over complicated with details for a sprite the size of a baby toenail where NONE of that shit is going to be readable at all.

>Also the magic pizza swords are originally from Dew Prism/Threads of Fate but you casuals aren't ready for that conversation.
That's because Threads of Fate just had it look like an axe instead of a crystal eyesore. And if it was JUST the axe we might not have this problem. Good lord the hoops fanboys will jump through.

>>23580692 (OP)
Bayformers

>>23584810
Fuck you this design is peak, you just don't have the mental processing power to appreciate it. I can draw the entire thing from memory so my understanding of it is much deeper than yours could ever be. I bet you cant even rotate the apple.

>>23580692 (OP)
Like it when it has the mouth guard on.

this

>>23588913
Even the combined form looks stupid though. Literal fridge torso and stubby little thighs
Like most of these cases though, I assume it looks better in the show

>>23599220
>Like most of these cases though, I assume it looks better in the show.
Not really. Super Link/Energon is known for ditching drawn designs for the Transformers and using very stiff, toy-correct 3D models instead.

It's serviceable, but you start missing Micron Densetsu/Armada very soon.

>>23599358
Never, the animation on Armada was so shitty. You'd think it was animated by Toei it was so bad.

Not the worst by any means but it's just a clusterfuck of shapes to me.
Especially the "party horns" on the legs and feet are downright silly.

>>23600703
Now turn it upside down and call it an entirely different name.

>>23600703
It looks like it stepped straight out of Solatorobo.

>>23601975
Same mechanical designer (though I'm sure you already knew that)

>>23580716
Are you sure retard? Americans love Bayformers

>>23580741
The principles might've been okay if the principle list was complete. It isn't. Dieter is a lazy midwit

>>23607013
Neither gaudy nor over-designed.

>>23607021
The color scheme isn't gaudy?

>>23607274
We got conditioned by Hyaku Shiki

>>23599715
>>23598605
Shit proportions is the biggest problem anywhere there's awkwardness in design, like pic related

With good proportions, only dense clusterfuck like NT-D mode Unicorn ruins the design

>>23588034
Nothing shit here aside from OP's brains, Granteed & its update were the only good J starter

>>23580859
soulless dunning kruger midwit

>>23589340
The Odysseus Gundam is fucking 10/10.
