Gundam
1. A franchise of Japanese animation television series,
OVAs, and movies, along with manga, models, video games, and other connected merchandise. Gundam is the property of
Bandai of Japan and it's subsidiary Sunrise Incorporated, headquarted in Kobe Japan. The origional Gundam TV series, which aired in 1979 was called
Kido Senshi Gundamu (
Mobile Suit Gundam) and was the brainchild of anime legend Yashuyuki Tomino. Gundam as a general term can be used to denote not only the origional series, but any work that came after it. The UC series created by Tomino himself are regarded by critics and die-hard fans as being vastly superior to any of the newer incarnations.2. A high performance mobile suit used in a work which is part of
the Gundam franchise. Gundams, like all mobile suits are large humanoid combat vehicles inititially developed for use in outer space conflict. The first Gundam was developed as part of the Earth Federation V-Project in 0079 of the Universal Century, to counter the
Principality of
Zeon's technological superiority. Needless to say, it was a success. Gundam can be used to refer to any of the derivatives of the Gundam in the UC universe, or any copies in alternate universes. Gundams are characterized by their signature V-Antenna, two eyes, and a somewhat blocky anthropomorphic design. They are often white, with red and white components, and are usually piloted by the heroes of the story. Note:All Gundams are mobile suits, but not all mobile suits are gundams.

Giant Robots used to fight wars and most of us are amused by it because there are alot of explosions, lasers and violence. They have a huge toy line and plastic models that break easy when you played with them when you were like 10. Good examples of the show are Mobile Suit Gundam,Gundam Wing,
G Gundam and
Gundam Seed. Originates from Japan. Usually the characters in the show have some cool names like Kai,
Heero, Duo, or strange ones like Chibodee Crockett

The most
accurate representation of God. A Gundam is a kick ass robot that will blow you apart before you can say "Oh (
enter word here)" and is probably
your father because it had your mom in many ways.
Example:
Guy: Dude I just finished my Gundam model!
Other Guy: *
punches Guy and runs off with his model*
Another Guy: *punches Other Guy and runs off with
the model*
Huge
Mob: *jumps Another Guy and starts fighting over the model*
