Z Gundam - Concept

Concept

The Zeta Gundam is a transformable type mobile suit, which can change from its normal humanoid outlook to a "waverider" mode more aerodynamically suited for long-distance flight or atmospheric re-entry. The shield on the left hand serves as both the nose and the heat shield of the flight unit while the legs become the main thrusters. The concept of the unit is a tail binder which serves as the fifth limb of the unit, thus aiding in AMBAC motion.

Its transformation concept at the time was one of the most complex and detailed designs, rivaled only by the earlier The Super Dimension Fortress Macross's revolutionary VF-1 Valkyrie variable fighters.

Famous quotes containing the word concept:

    David Malet Armstrong (b. 1926)

    I think that Richard Nixon will go down in history as a true folk hero, who struck a vital blow to the whole diseased concept of the revered image and gave the American virtue of irreverence and skepticism back to the people.
    William Burroughs (b. 1914)

    One concept corrupts and confuses the others. I am not speaking of the Evil whose limited sphere is ethics; I am speaking of the infinite.
