>>2324153S-Freedom, they just felt like they were trying to give it it's own gimmick or something and trying too hard...so instead they gave it everyone else's. I just don't like how it's set up. Honestly, to me, it's only thanks to the kind of stock footage they use that those things on it's back could ever bee considered DRAGOONs (Super even). And got rid of the beam cannons, but we need one of those....where to put it? ON THE STOMACH. Not enough though....Let's give it not one beam rifle, but an awkward combining beam rifle. And oooo, beam shields! (I hated that for all of them by the way) The fact that it can't use most of it's weaponary on Earth doesn't sit well with me.
But to be honest, it's probably more of bais. To me, S-Freedom was an embodiement of how the show was going. "We don't care as long as these guys win. THEY ARE MORE AWESOME THAN THOSE OTHERGUYS, BEING THE OLD CHARACTERS." S-Freedom has it's weapons throw on it in a silly matter (opinion here, folks) and yet kicks the crap out of everyone, even the 'main characters' suddenly can't fight anymore with little explaination. Remember about those afterimages Destiny was supposed to give off? Not anymore folks. Remember how the Hi-MAT animation is? It goes off, and then it's all over the place bisecting mobile suits like a crazy blender. Those gold joints? They change something everytime those booklets come out, but they're all supposed to do the same thing. CONTAIN KIRA'S AWESOME POWER THAT THE JOINTS CAN'T HANDLE. Never seemed to be an issue with Freedom, so what the hell? (I-Justice's are silver! Just to match with S-Freedom, nothing special...)
