ZZ as a show is full of fat ass suits. ZZ, the Quibleys, the Zaku III.

Fittingly, there's a mech called the Cattle.
Well, we expect it from Zeon.
Another fat Gundam is the GP02, but I suppose it needed that sort of platform for a nuke.

The GP02 is in dire need of a Master Grade 2.0. Well, all the Stardust Memory suits are.

Great poseability, but the inner 'skeleton' is incredibly basic.
There's also one from 00 but it looked really ugly.
Yeah. GP02 is one of my favorite suits but the old kit is really bad and I refuse to buy it, same with the Master Gundam.
I have a really small Virtue Gundam. Thing's probably half the size of an HG kit at most. I sorta think Virtue takes the cake when it comes to fat Gundams.
Would you say it's a good beginners kit for the MG stuff?

Awesome first MG kits?

Build Strike is pretty good to start with. Feels like a big HG with a ton more parts.
Heh.
Don't worry, though. I hear the Virtue has one little trick for shedding all that weight in minutes.

Definitely 0080. Some real tragedy, especially since
Bernie died for no reason since the federation prevented the nuclear attack.
Would have liked to have seen how Alfred turned out later.
Definitely 0080, but as an answer that differs from that, let me put forward Sochie Heim. Not all of Turn A, because I actually feel like Turn A is one of the most positive Gundam shows, showing humanity as capable of peace and understanding without needing magical psychic powers to do it, and in spite of the numerous terrifying evils seen in the show, but what happens to Sochie is like all the awfulness that would be spread among the cast in shows like Zeta are instead concentrated on her in specific. Namely that
she loses the man she was going to marry, and she completely loses her chance with Loran. Her parents are completely ruined by the war (her father's death and her mother's madness) and she's never able to exact revenge for anyone or achieve any kind of closure. She loses her sister to Harry, and Loran to Dianna. At the end of Turn A she's just completely alone.
I would say most recently
Marida's death in Unicorn Ep 7. Made even worse by who kills her. Everything she does through eps 1-7, her interactions with those around her, coupled with her history pre-Unicorn made her such a great character.
Another good moment I think is
the ending montage in Turn A where it shows Kihel crying as she is looking through the Dark History files. It's a really quick shot of the images floating around her but it still manages to say so much. Basically shows that conflict is this sort of never-ending cycle that humanity is bound to eventually go through again and again.
Also
the fact AGE exists.
I wanna change my vote to this.

Talking about resin kits, is http://www.gkgundamkit.com/ a reliable site? I wanted to buy a G-System resin kit after I am more confident about my painting skill, but not sure whether I should get it from G-System website or gkgundamkit. It is $50 cheaper in that site.
Unicorn itself wasn't really that sad though.
My heart broke for Marida of course, and I hated what happened to her before and during Unicorn.
Yeah, it's like inalienably sad.
It was good development for her character. I wasn't too much a fan of how she was the beginning of the show.
Plus, someone needed to suffer.
We all suffered.
0080 hits hard for sure.
And
Marida Cruz is truly the Sochie Heim of Unicorn.
It's 0080 and it's not even close.
Also for a power of friendship shonen show G Gundam manages to invoke some pretty deep feelings in me at many different points. Domon's life is basically a country music song at the end, his girl left him, his idol/mom/brother are all dead, he hates his boss and only has a horse to hang out with, plus his idiot friends.
Unexpected depth is a great deal of the reason why I always come back to G Gundam.

the proportions look much nicer than any Bandai kit
G Gundam is like the Hokuto no Ken of Gundam. So there are many manly feels to be had.
His real love was Allenby, though. Poor girl, sacrificed her happiness for the sake of the world ;_;
The manga is pretty good for people who prefer Domon and Allenby.
And yes, I'm talking about in G Gundam the brief period after
He kills Master but before he goes off to rescue her.

How so? Sochie doesn't really have a bad ending. She's young and she's rich, and not to mention a war hero.
Sure her sister and Loran abandon her (though I imagine she still has SOME contact with both. They could send letters or something. But it's only a matter of time before another suitor comes for her. I mean, she's what, 17 at the end of the show? Hardly Old Maid status.
Being
killed by Riddhe
I think so! And it looks really nice when assembled.
Nice, thanks guys! The MGs I currently have on my wish list are Shining, Build Strike, and F91. Will probably want one from Wing too, are the Deathscythe MGs good?

I'd say
being dead is far worse than anything that happened to Sochie. Sochie doesn't have a sad ending. She'll be sad for like a month, and then she'll move on.
I've got the album that has that live concert version on it. Great CD.
You speak lies.
The only thing I felt for Katejina was a sincere wish for Uso to kick out each and every one of her teeth. But then, I didn't go past episode, 40, so I dunno. Things apparently got much crazier from there.
Have you got to the part with Adultery Beardsley, yet? Cuz that's where I wanted to throttle Domon the most.

I don't really remember what exactly they are but essentially they scramble radars and stuff, which is why, rather than using missiles and fighters, Zeon and the Feds are developing Mobile Suits. Because Minovsky particles rendered conventional warfare impractical or something.
I always thought it disrupted your ability to detect the precise position of enemies.
Search your feelings you know this to be true.
Minovsky engines are what power ships in UC Gundam (and much later on, mobile suits). Minovsky particles are just a by-product. When they realized that the particles had a side effect of scrambling radars, both sides starting using them as a sort of cloaking tool.

Minovsky particles are used for lots of things.
First and foremost, they are used to scramble communication equipment as well as guided weaponry. Secondly, beam weaponry is powered by minovsky particles.
As an above user mentioned, they are the by product of their fusion reactors.
