What's your favorite Gundam design? As in specifically, a Gundam of some kind.

EW Sandrock and Master.
I also really like Wing Gundam Zero and both the orange and blue Heavy Arms.

I have experienced basically ZERO Gundam media (I promise I'll correct the mistake someday), but a couple of years ago I fell into a Gunpla rabbit hole and purchased a MBF-P02 Gundam Astray Red Frame model kit on a whim, because of how rad it looked.
Like, c'mon, it's a giant robot with a giant katana and a giant scabbard to accompany it, call me shallow, but isn't that just the coolest?

double edit!
I always get Wing / Shenlong confused cause of the similar colour scheme in the same show lol.
Finally updated.
Definitely wing.

I feel like am idiot for not including RX-78-2 in my list... It's godsdamn iconic.THE MOTHER FUCKING GUNDAM.
I only got into Gundam with Gundam Wing (filthy casual), and my favorites from that were always Epyon and Deathsythe Hell. They also had my two favorite pilots from that series, so that helped. I like the rest of the Gundam designs from that series too.
Other Gundam series always looked so bland to me, but every time a thread like this pops up, I'm always like "Whoa! I need to check out more Gundam." Some of these designs are great.

I always forget that the Woundwort is almost similar design wise to a orbital frame from Zone of the Ender's.Top tier pics already in OP, but I'll add:
Woundwort
Xi
I prefer the overall look of Strike Freedom, but the loss of the shield makes me prefer OG Freedom.Strike Freedom. Gundam SEED/Destiny has a lot of sexy suits
<--
The Unicorn Mode design is so clean, and transforming into Destroy Mode is some hype shit.
I also really like the Doven Wolf/Silver Bullet and Barbatos Lupus Rex. If I can pick non-Gundam mobile suits, I'd also like to add the Stark Jegan and the Delta Plus.

Probably in the minority, but I find the Unicorn design really dull. Banshee with the gold trim and claw has so much more swag.
Came in to post this one too... I'm not terribly fond of Gundam Wing, but I love this design.
Tallgeese is still my all-time favorite
IBO had some cool suits.
Reginlaze Julia.
Grimgerde
IBO had some weird Gundam designs. Absolutely could not tell something was a Gundam by visuals alone on that show.
EDIT: Tallgesse (the original and not the pair of abominations that followed) is an incredible design but alas, not a Gundam. :'(
Nothing beats the Exia for me
Looks at avatar picture
Gundam Exia is perfection
The correct answer, SExia is the best one by far, and the TerminExia also looks dope as fuck

Damn that's pretty fuckin' slick. IBO seems like it has some interesting designs.It's actually Nu Gundam and Wing Zero EW but I'm gonna give Barbatos Lupus Rex some love.
Literally a beast.
It even makes some bestial noises at some point and the pilot, in contrast to your average Gundam protagonist, has no qualms about brutally murdering anyone he gets pointed at and told to kill.
Also there are no beams involved, Barbatos fight with crude physical, melee weapons. Metal on metal.
Like stomping cockpits into mush and shit. I had my issues with IBO, but the zero amount of fucks given by the protagonist was and willa lways be a refreshing change of pace.

Despite my avatar, I can't stand the EW Deathscythe people keep posting. It's just too cartoony and impractical compared to tv Hell.
Since the Gundams were based on that Tallgeese model I consider it the OG Gundam (of Wing, anyway) :)
I know very little about gundam, but some of these gundams aren't actually on any anime or manga but just made solely as models?

Always been a real big fan of the RX-79 G type from 08th MS Team. Really nice remix of the original RX-78-2 that's a little chunkier. I especially enjoy the backpack and the shield configuration.
Also really enjoy the MS-073-B Gouf Custom, which also happens to be in 08th MS Team.
Tallgeese is still my all-time favorite
Truth. The best Gundam is a Leo.
I gotta shout-out the Gundam Double X, which has such a striking silhouette both in and out of its Twin Satellite Cannon firing mode:
Love its unique beam saber too, the enormous, almost ragged blade makes it stand out from the swords that came before and after it.

I tend to dislike hero units in real robot shows, because I think the distinguishing features of these units make them overdesigned and tacky looking compared to the grunt units. This is more pronounced in Gundam than Macross because of the original aesthetic of the gundam. So I am glad that some of the favorite designs posted in this thread are more subdued looking.I don't think I could pick just one. Here's a few of my recent favourites:
Second Victory - Lean, mean, and packing some serious firepower.
RX-78-01 [N] Local Type - A really neat twist on the grandaddy design. Love the more utilitarian design and colours as well as the visor covering the eyes.
As for me, the G-Arcane is probably my favorite design because it looks relatively simple.
