    That's Transformers (said by some western mainstream media)

    Transformers are robots, gundams are mechas, so that is another reason why you shouldn't always believe what media say

    These western news channels have no class. In which universe does this particular gundam change form the way Transformers do?

    Though if we were to go to war with giant robots, Ai-chan thinks something like Raven mech would be much more suitable. Sure it can't hold laser sabers, but who need laser sabers when you can jam the enemy's sensors before cutting jumpjets, landing close and punching a giant hole in the enemy's chest with a PPC? Then you can throw in a flamer if you think the enemy isn't cooked well done.

    Umm... the PPC is long range weapon, right? Why do you need to close the distance first?

    Because the PPC's damage drops as distance increases. As long as you don't close in within 90 meters (when the field inhibitors executes to avoid the ion beam from damaging the shooter), the PPC delivers full damage. While the PPC can be used as long-range sniping weapon, the damage reduction over distance means you still need 2 of them to disable a part. In some respect, constant pressure with ER Lasers can be preferable due to the more manageable heat buildup.
