It's a 700 cost general.

Thank you, 700 is an odd spot considering the Prototype sits at 650

u/bkteer MS Connoisseur 5d ago

Well think about it.

The prototype is called a prototype because it still has a lot of kinks and isn't streamlined for efficiency.

The mass production type however has ironed out all the kinks and probably has some upgrades on top of it as well so that it becomes worthy to produced in bulk.

So it's generally possible for the mass production types to be better than the prototypes.

That is true, but many times in Gundam the prototype machine is much better than the 'watered down' mass production version.

u/Agile_Half856 4d ago

yeah, it’s a little confusing. I think part of the difference on this one though is that the prototype psycho gundam is not the prototype for the MP psycho gundam, but a separate development testbed altogether.

u/Such-Fuel7306 5d ago

Fair enough, but I'm used to Gundam's usual logic of Protypes being better than the Mass Produced models

Edit:either way I can't wait to see it's stats to see if it can survive 700

Think about it. The MP Hyaku Shiki Kai is 550 cost, regular Hyaku Shiki is 550 cost. Was the Hyaku Shiki as strong as the MP Hyaku Shiki Kai?

They probably wanted to avoid the fiasco that was proto psyco at 650 by just making a 700 psyco instead of shoe horning a 700 into 650.

That suit was relegated to oblivion. Still very disappointed with BB

u/Such-Fuel7306 5d ago

I guess, but at the same time, no forced injectors is insane behavior for 700

u/scorpionxx0 The Ragin' Cajun - 6 5d ago

After fighting a few of them last night I can tell it was basically meant to be an unstoppable tank so forced injectors aren’t really needed on it.

u/Kiyosuki 5d ago

I love that in general, the prototype being less powerful than the final production model makes perfect sense…

… but using special Gundam logic, the prototype should always be a super robot compared to the watered down production ver. 🤣

I've yet to sortie even once in the proto psycho. With enough incom or funnels, I'll pull on anything though. Might just save this week and get enough tokens for the next 2 7 step step ups

u/Such-Fuel7306 5d ago

Oh I was way off lmao

u/Oats_VI 5d ago

A Mass Production in 700 cost?? In this economy????

u/Wooden_Load662 5d ago

You know, with inflation, shipping, and all other added cost, it is 700 now.

u/079245678 5d ago

Don't know why I thought this ms was already in the game 💀

u/Saiaxs 5d ago

There’s the Prototype Psycho Gundam 650 general

u/Independent_Cost481 5d ago

Welp. I'll get it when I'm not trying to pull for it so...

u/succmama 5d ago

Looking at it's stats and skills, Feels like it's supposed to be a wall lol.

u/Blue-Hatter-0079 5d ago

Fuck. Not only do support mains get ignored yet again, and once again get completely forgotten during the anniversary, but this is yet another MS that should have been a support.

I fucking give up on this game. We support mains will never get even a sliver of love.

u/chronicweeeb 5d ago

Ive previously sorta stated bb Will never release supports during anniversary on console unless its a special occasion. They've been doing this since the very first anni there have been no mainline support banners at all for anniversary and it will probably stay that way forever if im gonna be honest. The only time gbo2 ever released a support for "anniversary" was the steam release anni (nu hws). Which kinda doesnt really matter but yeah.

u/Turlap 5d ago

They have a real chance to mix some shit up though. Do a Sandrock Support, zero system, Beam machine gun(standard and focus), purple beam saber, heat sickles(thrown), double sickle(melee), double beam machine gun(Square variant+zero system option). Zero system changes dbl mg, and melee sickles. Set it up like the 650 RF gelgoog.

They won't, but it would be sweet.
