I get the logic that EW Heavyarms had two guns (and no knife or shield) but this version never did. EW presented the designs as if that was always how the Gundams had always looked, not an upgrade but an overwrite. Maybe I'm just one of the few that doesn't like EW designs and that's why it urks me. They were just so intensely 90's on steroids.

On a side note how inefficient would the Heavyarms be in real life? Dude would be out ammo after 5 minutes every battle, but they would be the coolest 5 minutes of the battle. It sometimes surprised me that it got as much screen time as it did.

Probably got more screentime since Trowa was the only seemingly normal pilot out of the main 5. Heero was an emotionless trained assassin, Duo was a happy go lucky deathbringer, Quattre was a pus and Wu Fei wanted war.

Suffice to say once I got into UC Gundam more afterwards, I realized that UC was a lot better. Some AC series are cool and Wing is overrated. I respect it for nostalgia and I was more into back in the day than now. IIRC one of the Ronin Warriors guys wrote the series so having 5 guys as main characters that also ended up appealing to female audiences was not surprising.
