what the hell do you think katoki does?? make a entirely NEW gundam out of scratch??? NO, he takes a gundam as a reference, and then does a redesign of some part, includes new parts, excludes some old part, its just like modding a car, or a computer case, you can call its VER. whatever, you still took something that already existed and modded it into something different

and ok:
1/100 freedom:


sry looks even shorter, and the bigass wings on mg freedom cant be beaten

1/144 HG freedom:

looks just as short as the 1/100 one

and short wings suck
