On a long enough timeline they will eventually convince the US government to build a Gundam. Maybe General Dynamics will do it, doesnt matter. Its the inevitable trajectory we are on. The only reason why they haven’t yet is the execs dont know what a Gundam is.
The main purpose of a mobile suit’s design is mobility in and around O’Neill cylinder space colonies. Until these are developed, there won’t be a need for a Gundam.
The chance is slim enough that statistically speaking it’s more likely the US will collapse before Lockheed Martin designs a Gundam 😔
I dunno but Ford, GM, Nissan, and others will help make BattleMechs starting in the 2500s after the first successful combat test in Yakima, WA
who knows when lockheed does, but the japanese have do it already lmao
