Well, let’s do this quickly.
To start with, I do love all WING and EW designs.
However, I find some designs weaker (that signifies one suit is worse equipped than another one or it lacks stength )
Essentially, the WING designs seem to be bulkier, whereas Katoki Hajime’s drafts oustand by their forcefully dynamic designs.
Before I begin judging all of them seperately, I’d like for the reading to be aware of the fact, that the EW (the 2nd ones, NOT THE FIRST ONES) were the first ones to appear.
WING GUNDAM :
Well, this one is special for certain. I reckon, the WING design looks better just by the looks. However, the 01WK also has a speical signature/note. IMO, that’s a close battle but I guess 01W looks better. (TV Version is superior to the EW version)
Wing Gundam Zero. Everyone who’s been a member on these forums long enough ought to be aware of my opinion concerning 00W0 and 00W0K.
00W0 (TV) I consider to be the better one, undoubtedly.
Deathscythe : Hell yes, Deathscythe! (Google Pictures -> Turn off “safe search” -> type “XXXG-01DK” in -> Profit )
Alright. This one is a tough one. Each one of them deserves a 10 of 10. The 01DK clearly has more white (white color) applied to its body than the TV version. Its outward appearance is likely to frighten me indeed. It’s a new, refreshing design. However, on the other hand, it appears to have been alienated from the other D-Scythes. I still like it.
To concern myself with the TV Version; this thing is pure eyecandy. The color sheme is balanced and it doesn’t looks heavy or bulky at all. IT’S CLEAN AND WELL-DESIGNED.
Now to the Deathscythe Hell :
I don’t comprehend why there are so many hating the XXXG-01D2. I fancy this one. It’s glaringly the strongest of all D-Scythes. It possess the strongest beam-scissors (there are small thrusters attached to the back of its blades). It’s also equipped with the buster rilfe which is an important trait of D-Scythe’s. However, the wings could actually look better. The Wings don’t compare to its Hajime Katoki version at all.
The D-scythe Hell Custom obtains the gold for the best design. Taking a look at it, everyone is supposed to conceive why I label it as the best-looking.
But why the heck isn’t it supplied with the same weaponery as the TV Version is ? It’s really pitiful for it not to be as strong as its TV Version! IT 'S the most attractive of amongst the D-Scythe group. Why the heck is it so weak ?
Where is its backpack thruster situated?
Why doesn’t it acquire any ECM jammers ?
Well, to sum up my assessment a little, it seems for Ha. Katoki to have run out of ideas after he had drafted the main body. He did a really good job on the main body but totally failed to elaborate its weapons.
Damnit that’s a shame.
To summarize again :
The 01D and the 01DK do both look good and have their own, personal look.
The 01D2 is the strongest and I favor it most, being the strongest amongst those four. The only thing I criticize is his wings. They could look better, by being wide and entangling the MS’ body.
The 01D2K looks best, being painted black everywhere. Its main body looks great but it seems to be the weakest of those four. Shame on Hajime Katoki, he seems to have done really badly here.
Heavyarms :
The more missles you are dighted with, the better you get. Same applies to the gatiling guns.
The 01HK outruns the TV Version IMO. It is capable of performing everything the TV version is able to do. Additonally, its gatling gun has a transcending quality. Hence the 01HK wins this.
Now this is getting interesting. The 01H2 vs. The 01H2K.
I like the 01H2K. I am unable to figure out what the TV version was doing or thinking, generating the 01H2’s design. Sorry, but a few more missles and a further gatling is NEVER going to do it.
To concentrate on the H2K, it surpasses all the other Heavyarms. It’s called “the Gatling king” for a reason, you know. However, considering it’s stripped off its melee weaponery, I am bound to classify this a support unit, unfortunately.
Note : The Heavyarms’ construction is sometimes conisdered to be fairly rotten. That’s because some people expect it to be better with thicker armor.
Sandrock :
The EW versions provide better armor and (confirmedly) bigger Heat shotles
I fancy the EW designs.
However, there are 2 things for me to emphasise and to illustrate before I proceed to Shenlong :
The Sandrock 01SR is a real buddy. It sacrifices itself for Quatre to espace from the shuttle base safely.
The Sandrock 01SR2 is supported by the ZERO system.
Shenlong :
The “You’re weaker than me” Gundam.
I don’t know much about the 01SK, so I’ll skip the first generation.
The second generation is a tough one for me to decide. They have similar weapons. However, the 01S2K’s dragon-fangs are much stronger and exceed the 01S2’s range by FAR.
The 01S2 is given a firethrower hidden next to its fangs.
Conclusionally, it all depends on your predilections. If you intend to eliminate as many as possible, go with the TV version. If you plan to duel someone, choose the EW version.
Epyon :
The EW is actually very much the same as the TV Version. It’s additional features are just for show.
Tallgeese :
The Tallgeese I and II are literally the same. I am unable and I’ve always been unable to estimate it properly. However, not underestimating it, I acknowledge this to be stronger than the first gen. WING models.
The Tallgeese III be badass, fo’ sure. This boy be gonna whip yo’ ass from earth to lagrange 5 in no time, I swear. This be defeatin’ the other EWs rapidly. This is no grunt suit, mah boy, no grunt suit!
