Dude, the Mark II is purplish-blue.
That’s just semantics. The intention is the same no matter what the exact colors.
The intention of painting it a different color than which the enemy uses, particularly one that invokes the White Devil of the one year war? It wasn’t really a good example for the situation.
Then why make the Titans version of it dark colored? Why have them repaint it at all since the Zeta Gundam is mostly white as well?
…why wouldn’t they repaint it? Would you use a suit painted in the enemy’s colors when there’s a huge risk of doing that getting you teamkilled?
They had the only two Gundam Mk IIs in existence.
I think they would know.
And I’m looking at this from a real world perspective, not in-universe.
- The Gundam Mk-II was originally painted in the dark color scheme, presumably to make it harder to see in space. The AEUG painted theirs white to make it easier to tell the AEUG’s Mk-II’s from the Titans’ Mk-II’s, though it also meant the Titans could see it with little to no problem
There’s also at least 3 Mk IIs in Zeta alone, it’s mass produced.
Ehhhh, 3 units doesn’t constitute being mass-produced. Usually you need about 50-100 units to be considered mass produced. I always figured the Titans used the dark color schemes to say, “LOOK HOW FUCKING COOL WE ARE” after they wasted so much of the federation’s budget in AoZ.
Oh look, they can’t argue back with their own crappy logic anymore because your logic is historically and realistically...
So sociologists are wrong and Hitler decided what races are. Great theories, dude.
