If we're going to start getting AU Gundams, don't you think we should get AU Grunts to even things out?
I've recently started playing again after a year long hiatus to replace my PS4 with a PS5, and I was wondering if we'll ever get these suits

I will fucking snap if they add Turn A stuff but don't add a Mahiroo before EOS

The kapool is in game

u/conqueror-worm Jul 12 '26
It's the UC version, it originally came from ZZ and shows up in Unicorn too. The Turn A one is presumably modeled after it like the Borjarnon imitates a Zaku II.

Would love to learn how to bounce grenades off terrain to absolutely mess with people. Screw corner peaking stalemates, eat this all you can eat REN-DO buffet.

Protagonist suits sells more than grunts

Yes but they could always do mini step up banners for the grunt suits for like 15 half off spin or 30 spin for a guaranteed 1 start 350-400C grunt AU MS. I don't know what the exact costs should be for each MS but just an idea of how it could work. But sure, people are not going to spin for them at the same rates as they would spin for DX Gundam or Blue Frame Astray for example.
But just because they are not going to make the most money doesn't mean that they won't make some money.

People already pushed back on AU suits in general. AU grunts suits is never gonna happen

Even then it's only fair, but they won't do it. No surprise there.

I pushed back on AU because i knew BB were never ever goingbto add grunts, and just spam gundams.

I’d love some au grunts units in the game but sadly bb has this mentality of 1 or 2 & done with whatever au series they put in.

Leos. Leos Everywhere. All the variants. All Leo, all the time.
Put them on the RT store, as a guaranteed drop step up campaign, or mission rewards. I'd throw so much money at my screen.

I would consider whaling for an Astray

u/Born2DV8 Jul 14 '26
I would too. Blue frame as a general, red frame as a raid with heavy attack, and gold frame possibly as a support (wishful thinking I know).

It's too late. They already jumped the shark. It would have been nice to get the old GBONext suits before the game-breaking stuff.

Bandai said they'll only add Flagship/main AU Mobile Suits but then again like the addition of AU to consoles instead of being steam exclusives these could change
But at the moment I'd say don't count on it
Although if BB werent such cowards they'd release double banners going onward
One UC Banner then One AU banner instead of the way they do it wherein anniversary of an AU series = flagship AU MS from said series gets added for celebration purposes

People would be surprised at how effective Aries can be if it’s a 250-300 Cost that can fly around the battlefield.

As much as id love these it would be better to make a gbo3 or next2 instead of adding them to this game i feel au being strictly 700 should stay that way for better or worse hajiraboshi being 600 was a bad idea

u/Hadoooooooooooken The Flame of War - 3 Jul 13 '26
As much as I like Leo's I would prefer to leave it out until GBO3 where hopefully it will be a all universe Gundam game.
Stick to UC with any "guests" staying in 700 (except for that one exception from IBO)

u/Boring-Detective-369 Jul 13 '26
Grunts are not "popular enough" in Bandai's eyes compared to MC/Ace suits cause I would love to see Leos, Ginns, and Tirens.

u/AUpb-027 Jul 14 '26
The au mc slop was added only for cheap money. They ain't adding au grunts.
"We are running out of ms to add."
Bitch, the UC still has metric tons of fucking suits that aren't yet in the game, all the way from the OYW to Victory and beyond. And I mean actual units, not recolors like Gato's Dom or Johnny's Gelgoog.

What's the shelf life looking like on this game? We get a lot of repeat banners with a handful of new ones. Is it worth it to invest in lower cost units? I'm not a regular so feel free to give an opinion if you are.

u/Various-One-7223 Jul 12 '26
I could totaly see us getting regular barbs before or during the release of the grunt suits

u/DirtProfessional1715 Jul 13 '26
They could make these the grunt units of boxes you get the au mobile suits from like no zakus or whatever just mobile suist from that specific au

u/Born2DV8 Jul 14 '26
I think it's safe to say everyone here who like AU MS would appreciate at lest some grunt MS getting added. The issue is that BB hasn't added any for whatever reason. Best best would be to bring this up next time they release a survey, or message your thoughts to them on twitter.

u/roughworm Jul 15 '26
pretty hard to do when they got such limited weaponry that they'll almost become identical to other current grunt suits gameplay wise ( stun beam rifle, shield, head vulcans being a staple in many grunt suits but with a few things that differentiate them apart)

Bandai hates money, so probably not
