wow...
that's a nice news^^

I almost forgot. The only gundam in this series that is a ripoff is the O Gundam for one reason. It is made by the same artist who DESIGNED the RX-78 which pretty much TELLS you that the gundam is YES a carbon copy save for a GN drive.

Other than that, the other gundams are all original in their uptake.

The Astraea is the general central mech it being the jack of all trade. It has variable weapons. The design aspect is sharper and more dynamic appearance than most other beginner suits.
The Sadalsuud actually deviates from a majority of Gundams because it has cannons as arms and the fact that it trades off the V fin for a forehead mounted sensor.
The Abul Hool is completely original in that it is the first Gundam ever to have absolutely no arms whatsoever (the "arms" are permanently connected) and is in fact completely a fighter jet in MA form.
The Plutone Gundam is perhaps the only Gundam ever to have so many verniers on its body but its weapons are nothing spectacular.

The Exia Gundam is unique in that it is the only Gundam in the series ever to completely emphasize physical combat so much over long range combat sporting an overhaul of 7 melee weapons to 3 ranged. (and 2 of those are just vulcans)
The Dynames Gundam trades that off for being one of the few sniping Mobile suits in a long time. It also has the unique "sniping eye" that is not found in any other gundam to date.
The Kyrios Gundam has a completely original transformation in that it not only has an MA form but it can also carry a missile bunker into battle. It is also the only Gundam ever to make use of the shoulder guards as a focus in the transformation.
The Virtue is the only gundam ever to sport the fat suit not counting another Gundam who is larger still since that one isn't all that fat (its just a Destroy that's smaller and differently). It also the only Gundam to carry the beam sabers IN ITS KNEE. Not only that, but it is the first Gundam within another Gundam, Nadleeh. And given Nadleeh's nature, it is also the only Gundam ever to have "hair".

Next, we have have the 00 Generation.

The 00 Gundam does away with a big tradition called "the wings" that Gundam has for a long time. The tradition of Winged Gundams has been traded for Exia's Dual GN verniers, the first time a Gundam has jets on its shoulders.
The Cherudim Gundam has no visible unique aspect except for the feet which i have never seen before.
The Arios Gundam brings the Kyrios' unique aspect even further as the shoulders are not only part of the transformation, the entire front piece of the aircraft ARE the shoulders.
The Seravee Gundam is also the second fatsuit Gundam in the series and it pulls it off even better. It has guns on its knees (Holy crap...) A Bazooka that splits apart (yeah you wing zero fanboys, you can't say its copying when the gun is split to get a powerup instead of joining them together). Did I also mention that the Seravee Gundam is also the first Gundam to have a whole second head on its back?

The other CB Gundam is the Gundam Rasiel. So far it has the 00 flavor but I don;t see much specialty about it other than the GN arms Sefer.

And Union Flags pwn the Leos and Taurus units.

Remake, adaptation or whatever, each series is great and unique. As long as we get to enjoy them.

I have to say that they are not remakes but only retellings that were made to connect more with current audiences. SEED definitively followed the feel of 0079 even down to the characters; Kira = Amuro and Mwu LaFlaga = Ryu Jose. 00 currently has a very Wing feeling to it. The 4 and 5 pilot format, an organization that every one has their knowledge but no one has the whole plan, and then of course there are similarities between the gundams of the two series themselves (Heavy Arms = Virtue/Seravee). So basically the series were made to retell the original stories with a distinctly modern political flavor.

I wouldn't call Gundam 00 a remake of Gundam Wing. I do agree that both are similar. The first time I watched it, I thought it's like Gundam Wing only a little more polished and newer. I think it's really great because the events in it are based on real world events and are a little bit more realistic.

I'm about to embark on the journey that is Gundam 00

any suggestions before I start? :)

I have no idea what you mean by a journey so uhhh...0-o

Just a few things.

One: I don’t know where people are getting this show is a remake of Gundam Wing. The plot is not even remotely similar to that of Wing. In Wing the 5 Gundams were sent down independently and had no real purpose other than to wreck havoc and the plot just sort of splurged out from there. In 00 the 4 Gundams are a team with the goal of intervening in armed conflict. Seeing as that’s the only thing in the storyline I can think of that’s remotely similar that’s not enough to call it a remake or that it got it’s source material from Wing

Two: The obsession some people have with fanservice (what little of it there is) in this series is kind of ridculous. Why is it that some people rag on it for a couple of scenes right near the middle of two character sunbathing. It’s not like it happened constantly or anything like that and as a series I watch for Skin Service, Gundam 00 would rank as a 1.5/10 on such a scale. Why is it that other shows are allowed to have so much blatant fanservice while Gundam 00 gets one scene of the characters relaxing by a pool side and half the pundits freak out saying it’s a sign of a trainwreck (and this did happen) and won’t stop talking about it.

Three: At no point did the Gundams ever slaughter 1,000’s of units in the show. In all of their victories early on it was against upwards of 30 tops and they used coordinated attacks and played to their specialities and advantages to come out over top. As I recall when they tried to fight the 3 powers during the military exercise in the desert they got whomped once their GN Drives ran out of power and took down something like 20 units.

I agree gundam 00 are similar to gundam Wing ...

I hope the second season is very good to see.....

I wouldnt call it a remake, but there are many similarities between the last gundam series

00 is brilliant. Seed is good. And they're not remakes. Just some new stories with our beloved Gundams.

I don't really remember Gundam Wing too much but I have to compare it with Gundam 00.

I don't think that Gundam 00 is a remake of Gundam Wing, not even of Gundam Seed ^^ and especially not.
