Well, at least we agree that Trans-Am was pretty badly undercut. I get what happened, it's understandable and hey, no harm done since everyone's cool with it, but dammit, if I got told "you better pick canonically powerful stuff to keep up" in a crossover then y'all are gonna have to put up with me being extremely anal about MS specs as well, and you have to admit it made your character look ridiculously skilled or Trans Am much weaker than it really is. You sacrificed your weapons, yes, but the way the narration goes makes your character look better than Amuro shooting down funnels back when that was impressive.

Also, come on, the Gundam X might be mass produced but that doesn't make it any less powerful even if it doesn't have an abundance of gear. The Victory Gundam was also mass produced and in fact the version piloted by Usso before he gets the V2 isn't even the highest performance model. Mass production doesn't have to mean jack beyond "there's a bunch of these".
