Gundman action figures
Gundman created by sunrise is one of the largest running anime series. Gunman features giant robots and mechas that have been created by sunrise. Gundman is the collective term used for a lot of such anime series. Some of the series that are included in this series are Mobile suit gundman, Gundman wing, Gundman X and gundman SEED.
Yoshiyoki Tomino created the most famous of all the Mobile suit gundman. He was not the individual creator though; a group of people of the sunrise was also a part pf the team that eventually led to the birth of Mobile suit gundman. The changing group of men used a false name “HajamiYatate
During the period in which the concept was being born, the name that was intended to be kept was, Freedom fighter gun boy or simply gun boy. The main reason why this name was thought was the fact that the robot carried a gun and the target buyers of these robots were supposed to be young boys. Earlier the term freedom was also used very frequently, the base which is now called the white base was originally supposed to be called freedom fortress, the core fighter was also earlier supposed to be known as the freedom wing also the gun perry was supposed to be known as the Freedom cruiser. This is the reason why the Yatate team combined the term gun to the last three letters of the word freedom to coin the term Gundom. But later the name was improvised to become Gun dam, as this name suggested power. Just like a dam can stop water from flowing in the same way the gun of gundam can stop the enemies.
Most of the mobile suits that appear in the series are large vehicles. The robot whose torso region is visible generally boards these vehicles; it also has a camera fit in to the head, which allows the pilot to view the outside world. Although it is not the norm, many others are known to board the vehicles from other parts. These robots are generally showed to be devoid of all emotions, but sometimes the robots are shown to have human emotions as well. Take for example the robot A.L.I.C.E who develops human emotions and wanted to convert in to a human, leading to his own destruction. Also in the story blue destiny, four suits mounted on the exam suit all shared a common human soul. These are the only cases in which the robots are seen to have human feelings.
