Gundam Frames In Iron Blooded Orphans

Okay, let's talk Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans. Specifically, the Gundam Frames. We all love 'em, right?

Gundam Frames: More Than Just Giant Robots?

They're basically these ancient war machines. Super powerful and usually piloted by folks with special surgery. But are they all created equal? I'm not so sure.

Barbatos: The Star of the Show (Duh!)

Let's be real, Barbatos is the poster child. It's got that cool, evolving look. Each form is more brutal than the last.

And Mikazuki? He's like a human extension of the machine. A little too into it, perhaps? But hey, who am I to judge a guy and his giant robot?

Gusion Rebake: From Derp to Daring

Then there's Gusion Rebake. Remember when it looked like a frog? Yeah, not its best look.

But then Akihiro got his hands on it. Suddenly, it's got a hammer and an attitude! Major glow-up, right?

Kimaris Vidar: Sleek and Deadly

Kimaris Vidar is all about speed and lance attacks. Gaelio Bauduin pilots this mobile suit. He's got a vendetta to settle.

Okay, maybe that vendetta takes a backseat to some family drama. But the Kimaris itself is pretty awesome, I'll admit.

The Others: Lost in the Shuffle?

But what about the others? Like Astaroth, Vual, or even Bael? Do they get enough love?

Here's where my "unpopular opinion" comes in. Some of these frames are... kinda boring. Sorry, not sorry!

Bael is supposed to be this legendary Gundam. But honestly, it just looks like a regular Gundam with wings. Where's the fun in that?

Unpopular Opinion: Some Gundams Are Just... Blah

I know, I know, heresy! But think about it. Some of these frames are just there. Filling up space and not really contributing much to the overall awesome factor.

Maybe it's the color schemes? Or the weapon choices? Or maybe they just don't have that special "it" factor.
