Who are your top 3 favorite mechanical designers (Mecha Artist)?

[Gerbera]

Mines are:
Mamoru Nagano is by far my favorite as his designs for Five Star Stories are absolutely gorgeous! I love the Gothicmade redsigns too.

Wataru Inata because I love AC's hardcore, aerodynamic industrial designs (I'm aware AC has more designers but he is the easiest to point to)

Ippei Gyōbu just has this high contrast badass nature to his designs that I dig, a lot.

This thread kinda reveals the whole japanese vs western fans divide LOL.

For me best Gundam designs are in Z, ZZ, 0083, F91 and Victory. G has an honorable mention for truly awesome designs.

The thread asked for the top 3 designers lmao

It's OK I guess, I mean they look kinda weird.
The thing is, we should see a mech in motion before we judge them.

I agree with that, hopefully we get to see some of them.

Also, special mention to Hajime Katoki for creating the SRX.

Legit one of the best mech design ever.
It looks busy yeah, but friggin' epic to look at.

I actually don't like Katoki's standard Gundam stuff much, but his "weird" stuff is nice.

Can't remember the name of the artist who designed the TSFs from Muv-Luv, since some of those mechs actually occupy the top 3 spots for me.

Those VNs have some really ballin' mech designs and I highly recommend!

Oh yeah, I know the design but yeah I don't know the designer.

We totally need more mechs with 4 arms or more, kinda weird that more designers don't have that, more arms = more swords, more guns, more goods.

Come to think of it, I only listed two.

...

US! We're the third best designer as of all our Armored Core designs! Our changes to our BattleMechs! To our Metal Gears! Someone's Gundam Original Creation (OC)!

Any game that lets us customize our own giant freaking robot automagically makes all of you the first, second, or third best mech designer you know!

And by golly when Custom Mech Wars comes out come the wintertime some of us gearheads and grease monkey-wannabes are going to prove it.

1. Luca Zampriolo aka Kallamity https://kallamity.com/collection/

2. Kow Yokoyama - Maschinen Krieger (one example: https://www.paintonplastic.com/paintonplasticblog/2023/8/11/maschinen-krieger-groer-hund-dachshund-variant-in-snow-camouflage )

3. All AC designs

[Gerbera]

Btw does anyone know who is the mechanical designer for front mission first?

It was done by a team of people, but the most famous one of them was Kow Yokoyama, creator of Maschinen Krieger.

YES! I Agree!

How have none of you freaks even so much as mentioned Yutaka Izubuchi?? He designed basically every one of the best UC Gundam mobile suits. Kampfer, Jegan, Hygogg, Sazabi, GM Sniper II, and even the best Gundam, the Nu Gundam.

Anyway, for me its Izubuchi, Yoji Shinkawa, and Kunio Okawara
