Christina's character was indeed a bit wasted but for me that doesn't matter since the focus of the show is on Al.
Bernie did find his identity towards the end. From a rookie pilot who had near-zero confidence and psychologically rejected from his team, he realised his role in life - fighting for peace, being a good role model, and protecting the one he cared the most.
I truly agree that the mechas were wasted... Kampfer should have went down in glory, but it got taken down far too easily by a rookie pilot. The other GMs too should have been portrayed as competent war machines, but they went down like flies in front of the Zeon veterans.
The amount of mecha action was relatively few considering how badass the MS designs were, yet I actually felt that the most gruesome battle was not between mechas, but the part where the Cyclops Team barged into the hangar... Bullets being pumped into enemy bodies while blood splattered everywhere.
The sight of the Kampfer and Zaku's cockpit seats were nauseating... If the seats had already been mangled to that extent, imagine the bodies. Mischa probably would have been a pile of mince while Bernie, specks of ashes vaporised by beam sabre particles...
That's the beauty of 0080... War = Lives lost.
To be honest, when I first watched 0080 I was getting impatient as the story went on since it kept focusing on Al's "daily life". But when the battles came... WHOA.... blood everywhere.
Well thats why i felt disappointed of 0080 cos of the lack of Gundam Action that it should have.. Instead we have 1/2 of the whole series on Al bratty life..Bernie did find his identity towards the end.

What i mean by identity i mean is Chris and Bernie found out who they really are since Both of them lied about the occupation.. they could slash each other cockpit like Ramba Ral and Amuro which they have to decide between mission or love..
Neil/Lockon is not dead.. still alive.. except he is now Jack Sparrow!!.

Huhu, Kampfer downed so easily coz its armor protection is sacrificed to give it better maneuverability and speed (more thruster and vernier). Alex's forearm-mounted gatling gun is only 90mm, not 120mm like the Zaku machinegun. If Kampfer has thicker armor, maybe it can survive
Err... No Thicker Armor will slow down the Kampfer and consume more fuel.. It had to be light in order to stay fast and have long operation time.Also even thicker armor wont save Kampfer as Any kind of weaponary will tear any kind of armor at pointblank range. Last is larger rounds doesnt means more powerful..
Velocity of the weapon also counts into penetration also.. A mere Zaku 120 machinegun has hardtime taking out GM due to low rate of fire while the GM 90mm Machine gun can tear down zaku easily as it has a high rate of fire.

Kampfer died because it had to. 
But seriously the reason why Kampfer lost is because Mischa didn't expect the Alex to have hidden guns and charged dumbly forward. No armour could have withstand 500 rounds of direct hit shells... Even in MSG novels, the RX78's shield couldn't block two continuous bazooka rounds.
The moral of the story... don't get hit more than twice in the same place. Change "twice" to "once" if it's a beam weapon.
nah Mischa already thought the Chain Mine will own Alex..but still alive so he panic a little but since he though Alex has no more weapons.. So beam saber charge..But seriously the reason why Kampfer lost is because Mischa didn't expect the Alex to have hidden guns and charged dumbly forward.

I agree that GM Command, GM Sniper II and Mass Produce Guncannon could have better screen time
