A general goes to war with the army that was given to him by his mafia sponsor, not the one he wants. Or rather, he doesn’t even do that- as famously one of the machines we’re talking about today spent a long time on the bench. The Shiden sits in a weird place among IBO grunts, feeling torn between the rest of the world’s design, and other 00s and beyond Gundam art. But it’s still cool.
