    Weird. I didn’t know Gundams had wheels.

    Fucking trash article. Every single outlet reporting on this is calling it a Gundam. Clearly we wouldn’t know what a 15 foot tall robot is without someone comparing it to a 100ft bipedal machine with massive guns and lightsabers that looks totally different than what they’re describing.

      There are plenty of instances in anime where mechs (I guess not specifically Gundam) have wheels or skates/wheels, like Code Geass. I think its mostly so they don’t have to animate walking on the ground or draw different leg movements/positions.

      Edit: added stuff about drawing.
