Gundam is one of the best mecha anime series out there. As a franchise, it changed the way the world looked at giant robots. While we jump in expecting a whole lot of fantasy, it hits you with harsh realities and horrors of war.
It became a cultural icon, postage stamps were issued and Japan Self-Defense Forces code-named the developing personal-combat system Gundam. You can pretty much understand the influence of this anime.
This franchise is not just a Japanese icon but has its influence globally. Its impact is compared to that of Star Wars! The franchise also has around 50 TV series, films, and OVAs. It’s an absolute giant with multiple timelines and each series adds absurd abilities trying to top the previous ones.
For today, we will try to get a look at the most powerful mecha suits and rank them according to their abilities!
10RX-78NT-1 Gundam Alex
The RX-78NT-1 Gundam, nicknamed Alex, is a new type-use mobile suit that was created by Earth Federation Forces. It was introduced in the OVA Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket. It was designed for usage by the legendary pilot, Amuro Ray.
It was strong enough to change the tide of the One-Year War. The major advancement with this model was its Chobam armor(Ceramics Hybrid Outer-shelled Blow up Act-on Materials armor).
It is a series of optional armor plates attached to the machine’s main body and increases the defensive capabilities of the mecha by a lot. The armor plates also have built-in thrusters which help negate the effects of added weight!
All in all, Alex is a clever design that was able to use every ability without any added problems!
9ZGMF-X20A Strike Freedom Gundam

The Gundam Double also has an improved satellite system, the “Satellite System Mk- II” which increases the absorption of microwave energy allowing the suit to unleash more destructive power.
5 XXXG-00W0 Wing Gundam Zero
The XXXG-00W0 Wing Gundam Zero also known as Wing Zero is a mobile suit that made its debut in Mobile Suit Gundam Wing. Wing Zero is one of the strongest Gundams mostly owing to its extraordinary armamentarium.
