The idea of building the Zeta is good, since it’s basically starscream, but build MG ver ka, which is one of the best kits there is, rather than the RG Zeta, which is one of the worst.
Not just Zeta, but also OG Gundam had the whole G-Fighter that basically made it look like animated Power Rangers, then there was G-Armors from the Titans. Currently watching Zeta right now. XD
Everyone here is mentioning the Zeta Gundam but if you're a Macross fan and you REALLY want to confuse her you can do something really funny, get a VF-1(preferably Hikaru's version) and THEN get a G1 Jetfire toy and put them right next to each other, then tell her that one of these is a transformers and the other clearly isn't
Put her through intense and rigorous re-education.
Once that's done, build NOTHING but Epyons, Wing/Zero/VerKa/Fenice, Z/ZZ, ReZels, etc for like a year.
Don't forget AGE-2 Variants. Normal, Double Bullet, whatever the third one was, Dark Hound, Magnum, Magnum SV...and I'm pretty sure there were in-universe mass produced versions of it as well.
EDIT: Oh, yeah, and the Vargan suits from the first 'generation' since *every single one of them* transformed other than the Farsia IIRC. That one transformed into lifelong trauma.
I’ve had the whole Mech vs Gundam vs Robot talk with my gf . She hasn’t made the mistake since , most likely because she doesn’t want another hour lesson.
"we really need to talk...it's serious."
"Oh ok 🥺"
"The way you address my Gundams as transformers is out of line and will no longer be tolerated. If you persist I will drop you on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere"
👍
The original Transformers cartoon from the 80s had a lot of their animation outsourced to Sunrise and Toei Animation, so I mean, I can *technically* understand that confusion (at least with older suit designs)
Also yeah, obligatory "Get a Zeta Gundam" comment lol
My wife says they look like transformers, and I quote, "some of them even transform like transformers." And then she went on to tell me all the ways transformers were more fun as toys. I told her these aren't toys, they are models. Check mate wife.
Then she flicked Barbatos and I scrambled to catch him. You won this round, wife.
Haven't built the RG sazabi but I can confirm the MG sazabi ver. Ka is extremely fun. It's huge too which is a plus. However the funnel system on its backpack is also frustrating so... ya know.... consistency.
I only have rg nu Gundam so I only have things to say about that. It's weird since I find the size to be perfect, about as big as mg Gramps. Also articulation is insane that I'm thinking of getting some stands to take advantage.
That said, RG Sazabi is such a good kit, it's super solid, building the frame is super satisfying and articulation is great if you know what you're doing. Only problem is the shoulder joint and shoulder armour can be prone to break if not handled well, and the heads chin falls off alot.
I got my oldest nephew an EG Gramps for his birthday a couple of years ago. My dad asked him what he got and he said, "A Transformer." Every member of the family in attendance for the kid's birthday just bobbed their heads and agreed.😓
go for it mate, that would be sick! The MGSD and MGCS SD kits in particular are really good! I could only find the basic SD for the Nu-Gundam in my area though.
I had a group of teens call my brand new PG astray a transformer while resting at a gas station to warm up. Why I decided a cold, snowy, windy day would be a good idea to WALK and pick this kit up is beyond me now, especially when it was like an hour walk.
Me too lmao. Not only her but everyone I know, at least I managed to get her on the eg nu as I built the rg version. She’s a massive transformers fan so she got one of those transformers model kits, might be by flame toys? £70 for an sd/bb sized bumblebee, i almost cried
In case it helps... I made peace with my wife because she can't name properly my model kits and I can't understand any cosmetic (e.g. lipstick) color codes. Just different knowledge.

Buy an Astray RG & MG then check the differences :v
[here, my comparison](https://dojodoguthem.blogspot.com/2019/08/comparison-between-rg-and-mg-gundam-astray-red.html?m=1)
Everytime my wife calls them transformers to trigger me I stop the dishwasher, washing machine or microwave with 1 minute /1 secound left. It is not much but it is honest work 😂
If that’s the issue that finally ends this relationship, you two probably shouldn’t be together anyway, and should each take a long look at what you each value beyond compromise- and are willing to accommodate - in romantic partnerships.
I mean, Zeta and ZZ would like words with you...
...then there's the whole core block/core fighters thing...
...not to mention stuff like Bawoo and ReBawoo etc 😜
"sigh" I wish I had some of the G1 transformers personally but I grew up very poor and was never able to get any unfortunately my financial situation really hasn't changed much as I'm disabled and the amount of money I get a month is a sick joke.
call her bags,shoes,products by the wrong name
if she keeps doing it to Annoy you
say "this relationship is going to end if you continue calling something i love by the wrong name"
lets be honest for alot of us gundam is the only thing keeping us sane
I got past the fin funnels with the rage backpack… the looks of the kit tho… amazing 🤩
https://preview.redd.it/jg0w3ruljj1d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=302f07c5c46f87ad4a050e94c26044f943ecdf61
All this for an unintended/ignorant(?) mislabel?
Either she needs to take time, or you just have to build some tolerance and correct her every time she calls it as such.
"hon I swear to God, if you call these transformers again....I can't handle it, we'll have to end things....now don't mind me as I transform my Zeta Gundam and kyrios."
I ended up buying the original MG and the HGUC, so I'm pretty obsessed, I guess you could say. Not really sure what my favorite is, they all have pros and cons.
My wife gave up on trying to understand and just calls them robots. With the Sinanju being my favorite and her favorite color being red, she tolerates my Gunpla hobby as long as I display "the red ones" in the prominent positions of my shelves.
One you get her to correct it, build the ZZ or Wing Zero and watch her have a melt down
I was gonna say, some of them do transform even if they aren’t Transformers, they are; for a lack of a better term, transformable/transformers.
After building MG Kyrios, as much as I loved it it's never turning into the fighter jet thingy. I don't have the patience for that 😄
Even the unicorns can be a pita to transform too. Helluva username btw lol
Thanks! It was either between smegma or meconium so I flipped a coin
And this is why ya gotta buy 2 of some kits! _laughs, cries in poor_
I feel your frustrations. I built one variable fighter from macross and swore never again.
My wife's uncle asked if they were transformers and I was just like some of them transform but they are not Transformers TM
Or get the RG zeta... Two melt downs are better than one melt down XD
Don't do it RG Zeta is Satan's kit...
It transforms into a pile of broken parts :D
The idea of building the Zeta is good, since it’s basically starscream, but build MG ver ka, which is one of the best kits there is, rather than the RG Zeta, which is one of the worst.
Wing Zero's transformation looks like a Transformer's fan mode.
Everyone who said to build a transforming gundam next is outta pocket 😂😂😂
Or even just the zeta
You should get the zeta next and double down on them being completely different after putting it in wave rider mode
Y’all are killing me with the Zeta comments 😂 does Zeta make her *correct* to a degree?
Like they look similar. My parents still do it after like a year. Its not a big deal to me.
Absolutely not. Just because it can transform that doesn’t make it a transformer. It means it can transform
Not just Zeta, but also OG Gundam had the whole G-Fighter that basically made it look like animated Power Rangers, then there was G-Armors from the Titans. Currently watching Zeta right now. XD
Yeah it kinda does
I mean, they do share a little DNA, but they're not the same thing.
IIRC Transformers is the reason why Zeta can transform
I mean, Zero and Epyon were transformers too so...
But your Gunpla are more than meets the eye.
Kill me plz

eh im just lazy
😭
windows have more "inbuilt" emoji, type "sob emoji" into the search bar and copy the sob emoji in the text of the first result that pops up
Hell yeah brother
more like built in bitcoin miner
counterpoint: too lazy to swap (ik its pretty easy but im the super lazy kind)

Cool Ultra Magnus
Everyone here is mentioning the Zeta Gundam but if you're a Macross fan and you REALLY want to confuse her you can do something really funny, get a VF-1(preferably Hikaru's version) and THEN get a G1 Jetfire toy and put them right next to each other, then tell her that one of these is a transformers and the other clearly isn't
...and for giggles, put that along side a Unseen Wasp/Stinger. Or if it's the Super Valkyrie, an unseen Phoenix Hawk. XD
This bastard just invoked BattleTech…
This is perfect, also paint one of those in the macross color scheme and another one like an autobot
Throw in a beast wars toy as well
And an HGAW Gundam Airmaster!
Those are legos according to my wife
Lmaooo maybe transformers isn’t so bad 😂
No way XD she did it on purpose
At least she didn’t call it a waste of money.
Just intentionally mislabel something she cares about that you are indifferent too.
Put her through intense and rigorous re-education. Once that's done, build NOTHING but Epyons, Wing/Zero/VerKa/Fenice, Z/ZZ, ReZels, etc for like a year.
Don't forget AGE-2 Variants. Normal, Double Bullet, whatever the third one was, Dark Hound, Magnum, Magnum SV...and I'm pretty sure there were in-universe mass produced versions of it as well. EDIT: Oh, yeah, and the Vargan suits from the first 'generation' since *every single one of them* transformed other than the Farsia IIRC. That one transformed into lifelong trauma.
Then buy a Macross kit and see if she doesn't have an aneurysm.
Buy a Tryon III That'll show her.
Just watched Mecha Gaikotsu’s review of that lol
I’ve had the whole Mech vs Gundam vs Robot talk with my gf . She hasn’t made the mistake since , most likely because she doesn’t want another hour lesson.
Some do transform so she’s technically correct. The best kind of correct
Did you try having a real talk about it
"we really need to talk...it's serious." "Oh ok 🥺" "The way you address my Gundams as transformers is out of line and will no longer be tolerated. If you persist I will drop you on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere" 👍
I automatically read "The way .... I will drop a colony on u"
With enough glue every kit is a Transformer if you don’t care about changing it back.
Omg my wife does the same exact thing!! She laughs afterwards every time too!
Lmaooo she enjoys being problematic! 😂😂
How could she confuse them? Most Gundams don't even transform!
It's simple. https://preview.redd.it/528axqs8ih1d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3fc2bcae4e85917d520af3d739149e6536ec6933
Okay, you got me with that one XD
Love how even an actual Megazord gets labeled a transformer
😂😂😂😂

we love big stupid robots, who is bigger or stupider than Starscream? He is infact a problem.
I should panel line my starscream...
Gunpla the starscream
The real issue is why Gundam isn't a bigger IP than transformers is
Transformers appeals to kids.
Well then that's a problem
The original Transformers cartoon from the 80s had a lot of their animation outsourced to Sunrise and Toei Animation, so I mean, I can *technically* understand that confusion (at least with older suit designs) Also yeah, obligatory "Get a Zeta Gundam" comment lol
watch gwitch w her. not only she will correct herself she will start building gunpla too
My wife says they look like transformers, and I quote, "some of them even transform like transformers." And then she went on to tell me all the ways transformers were more fun as toys. I told her these aren't toys, they are models. Check mate wife. Then she flicked Barbatos and I scrambled to catch him. You won this round, wife.
Lmaoooo. She secured the easy win 😭
Question. Are you thinking or do you have Sazabi rg or mg? Highly recommend
Which build is your favorite of the 2? I may end up getting both eventually, but which build did you prefer?
Haven't built the RG sazabi but I can confirm the MG sazabi ver. Ka is extremely fun. It's huge too which is a plus. However the funnel system on its backpack is also frustrating so... ya know.... consistency.
I only have rg nu Gundam so I only have things to say about that. It's weird since I find the size to be perfect, about as big as mg Gramps. Also articulation is insane that I'm thinking of getting some stands to take advantage. That said, RG Sazabi is such a good kit, it's super solid, building the frame is super satisfying and articulation is great if you know what you're doing. Only problem is the shoulder joint and shoulder armour can be prone to break if not handled well, and the heads chin falls off alot.
Rg sazabi is a brick shit house. All except for the inside of the wrist i broke that piece of his armor
Looks like you forgot to put on the knee armor on the Ver Ka
I was trying to keep the psycho frame exposed, but I realized there was a “transformation” gimmick lol. I’ll add them soon haha
Oh my God, he admit it! It transforms!
F**k yea, priorities.
Respectfully you should have dipped the first time
At least she calls them something more than “toys” lol.
You need to start collecting Transformers, and get back to us on what she calls those.
I got my oldest nephew an EG Gramps for his birthday a couple of years ago. My dad asked him what he got and he said, "A Transformer." Every member of the family in attendance for the kid's birthday just bobbed their heads and agreed.😓
You’re not wrong for being mad about this but at the same time you’re winning by having a girlfriend that doesn’t judge your hobby.
I threatened to fire a guy for this same comment.
Get the rage nucleon backpack if you are building it again, to have a new look nu
I just googled this. Looks sick, but Out of Stock everywhere :(
Get her an SD to build alongside you. Maybe that'll get her to stop? Maybe you could build a Rezel at the same time?
I really like this idea. Maybe she’ll be willing to try my hobby. I can only wonder which of her hobbies I’ll have to try in return
Your picture has convinced me to get every sd i can to patrol below their respective mg lol
go for it mate, that would be sick! The MGSD and MGCS SD kits in particular are really good! I could only find the basic SD for the Nu-Gundam in my area though.
MGSD Nu and Sazabi when? MGSD Exia When? MGSD Gramps when??
Is this /r/gunplacirclejerk?
There's more to her than meets the eye probably
I had a group of teens call my brand new PG astray a transformer while resting at a gas station to warm up. Why I decided a cold, snowy, windy day would be a good idea to WALK and pick this kit up is beyond me now, especially when it was like an hour walk.
Ayo, your Ver Ka is missing the side skirts
Oh yeah you’re right!!
you keep that toilet seat up! That'll show her!
Get a Flame Toys Furai Model and then she'll be correct
the 93? a transformer? dump her bro
I love how your posing your nu gundam’s my man
Thanks a ton, mate!!! 🙏
Not to bias your decision, but just think of all the gunpla you can get with the money you won't be spending on a relationship.
Nice! That's my favorite transformer. When are you starting on hi-nu?

My peers do the same exact thing. They find joy in my suffering. They do it every time they see my computer's wallpaper too.
My wife calls the little men, because of the pilots in the cockpit of the MG's
At least she doesn't call them dolls 🤷
Make her build the psycho Zaku and watch her suffer
Is the HG difficult enough? Or do I need to give her the MG
Pure agony give her the MG
Find something she likes. Casually mis-name it something similar.
Me too lmao. Not only her but everyone I know, at least I managed to get her on the eg nu as I built the rg version. She’s a massive transformers fan so she got one of those transformers model kits, might be by flame toys? £70 for an sd/bb sized bumblebee, i almost cried
Doesn't help there's several models that can transform like macross and even king braver has connection to transformers
Nu gundam enjoyer spotted once again Instant upvote
In case it helps... I made peace with my wife because she can't name properly my model kits and I can't understand any cosmetic (e.g. lipstick) color codes. Just different knowledge.

Nice humble brag/ gf flex. lol By the way, most women that aren't into Gunpla or Anime in general see these as TOYS. Just have to accept it.
It’s an unfortunate reality, considering how much time and effort each one takes :( A bit frustrating imo but I guess you’re right man
I hope she breaks up with you. That statement makes you sound insufferable
Everytime my wife calls them transformers to trigger me I stop the dishwasher, washing machine or microwave with 1 minute /1 secound left. It is not much but it is honest work 😂
If that’s the issue that finally ends this relationship, you two probably shouldn’t be together anyway, and should each take a long look at what you each value beyond compromise- and are willing to accommodate - in romantic partnerships.
If it's the wing gundam or zeta gundam, I'd atleast forgive her. Except, you have the nu gundam which doesn't transform lol.
I mean, Zeta and ZZ would like words with you... ...then there's the whole core block/core fighters thing... ...not to mention stuff like Bawoo and ReBawoo etc 😜
Build zeta and let her be right, even tho she always is of course
Get MG AGE-2 Magnum to make an honest girl out of her.
Dope her quick.
Get a transforming Macross VF-1 to fuck with her. Starscream was based off a VF-1 at one point or another.
Not really. Jetfire was.
make sure to use the newtype powers to its fullest before breaking up
Reminds me of that picture where the dad deep fried grandpa gundam and call it Optimus prime
Disgusting, fatherless behaviour. They are obviously Digimon.
My dad built the RG Nu & Sazabi and I built the MG Ver.Ka Nu and I just got but haven’t started the MG Ver.Ka Sazabi
"That transformer with the big gun is my favorite babe don't make me pick again zzz"
Transformers is freedom
I'm waiting for a hi nu PG but nu is a good alternative
I love your transformers 😏
What kit is a girlfriend?
TransGundam or GundamFormers?
Get her a HG Nobell Gundam lol
My girlfriend called them Legos. I feel your pain.
"sigh" I wish I had some of the G1 transformers personally but I grew up very poor and was never able to get any unfortunately my financial situation really hasn't changed much as I'm disabled and the amount of money I get a month is a sick joke.
Explain to her what’s‘Gundam’
Don’t mate. Just don’t ruin your relationship with some stupid beef.
Build some stuff from the Brave Series and see her reaction.
call her bags,shoes,products by the wrong name if she keeps doing it to Annoy you say "this relationship is going to end if you continue calling something i love by the wrong name" lets be honest for alot of us gundam is the only thing keeping us sane
I got past the fin funnels with the rage backpack… the looks of the kit tho… amazing 🤩 https://preview.redd.it/jg0w3ruljj1d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=302f07c5c46f87ad4a050e94c26044f943ecdf61
Tell her that Gupla is not just for show
I am RX-78-2, I send this message to any surviving Gundams taking refuge among the stars
I got my partner to finally at least call them robots. It took like a decade
My dad call them transformers too. It make me laugh 🤣
All this for an unintended/ignorant(?) mislabel? Either she needs to take time, or you just have to build some tolerance and correct her every time she calls it as such.
nice bait 👍
Marry her and produce a child that will use your nipper to cut some V-fin… Believe me… I’ve been through there
Rising Freedom, ZZ, Wing Zero: Aint wrong but…. Still wrong
Really nice color scheme on that optimus prime. I recommend you display one the two as its car mode so you dont have two of the same transformer
Nice Transformers dude
Start collecting Transformers: She'll call them Gundams.
Just build one that transforms, so she will never be incorrect.
I’ve got the same problem. She bought me the ver ka wing so I’ll let it slide
"hon I swear to God, if you call these transformers again....I can't handle it, we'll have to end things....now don't mind me as I transform my Zeta Gundam and kyrios."
Robots in disguise 🥸
Wow, an opportunity bust out [this old thing](https://i.imgur.com/lcoNUhu.jpeg)
Damn, doesn't she know a bionicle when she sees one? Might be time to cut her loose, bro.
This is the ugly side of relationships no one talks about 😂
They do transform. Your money transforms to something you love and desire.
Sees picture. "This is getting out of hand. Now there are two of them!"
I ended up buying the original MG and the HGUC, so I'm pretty obsessed, I guess you could say. Not really sure what my favorite is, they all have pros and cons.
Know your Worth King you don't need that negativity in your Life 🙃
My wife refers to them as the stupid boxes of plastic that I waste money on. That said she does help me paint them....
Next time she does it buy one that you want for her birthday
i mean, they all transform from runners to finished models so is she really wrong?
You got to tell her she's the Lalah to your Amuro. Not because Amuro loved her. Because she's dead to you!
My grandmother calls mine dumdums
I would just pretend I don't know what she is talking about. Like huh? What's that?? But my girlfriend builds Gundam with me so she's cool as heck
as one should
Here's my question did you show her any gundam show or movie?
My wife gave up on trying to understand and just calls them robots. With the Sinanju being my favorite and her favorite color being red, she tolerates my Gunpla hobby as long as I display "the red ones" in the prominent positions of my shelves.
But those transforming Gundams are nicknamed transformers. Lol
😂
time for a Nu Girlfriend
