Kek. You might be right. It's really hilarious when you think about it.

When modern Gundam has such a massive budget and huge backing from Bandai, the best they can come up with is....an Rx-78 Gundam clone with more scribbly lines (pic related). They call it Unicorn but it's really just the old Gundam all over again. Same rifle and shield design just with more power. And when it transforms...it turns into a Gundam with sparkles. Reminds me of Sailor Moon.

Even though I hate Hathaway's story, at least the mecha are UNIQUE and memorable looking.

I have no idea what's wrong with modern Bandai mecha designers. They just copied Tomino and Okawara.
