Hmm.. iam so-so with it.. I cant understand why MS like Pycho and Destiny Destroy needs a f***ing MS mode. Its not like they can field any beamsaber or something. Feels like a waste of design.
I like those wave rider mode. It kinda make sense for MS that need to do hit and run mission. Also a good feature so MS can go to long places without support.
Btw tsubasa89 who that fatso in the LEV pic,
GIMMICK !!Everybody likes transforming mecha, no?

Anyway, there were posts in other forums which discussed the abundance of transforming mecha in Z. One of it is that it was the high time for transforming mecha, eg Transformers and Macross, hence Z had to incorporate the idea too.
Let's see:
Zeta
Methuss
Gaza C
Messala
Gaplant
Gabthley
Psycho
Bound Doc (I believe it's supposed to be Hound Dog as the chinese translation is
猎犬)
I don't mind transforming designs, and in fact it is interesting to see how the mechanics are designed. Zeta's (and the subsequent A1 and C1 Plus) transformation remains the best designed amongst all, while the Gabthley seems sophisticated too. The waverider not only boosts the Z's speed, it can be used as a re-entry shield like the Flying Armour. After all, it is based on the design of Flying Armour
The combining designs of ZZ, S, Victory Type and its copycat Impulse seemed like a gimmick more than anything else, although Usso put it to good use more often compared to Shinn.
The Psycho's mobile fortress mode is indeed weird. It covers its torso and head when it's in MA mode and since the gun barrels are located in the above mentioned places, it probably cannot attack. Maybe it's just for additional protection as it hovers to its target.
The Destroy however is appalling. In Chicken Walker mode, it has shit load of guns all around the UFO disc plus 4 gigantic plasmas and missile tubes. In MS mode, it uses the dragoon arms, moth cannon, and chest cannon more. So what is the purpose of having two modes which cannot fire all weapons at once?
