Well, at least they're not all just cats this time...
If you don't know what Gundam is, it's a long running anime metaseries with countless anime shows and a good amount of movies and OVA's. Within the Gundam universe, large, usually 18 meter tall humanoid robots called Mobile Suits are used to combat enemies, superior to tanks and planes used in modern times. Within each Gundam series, there is at least one special Mobile Suit with higher performance and a skilled pilot: a Gundam. These legendary machines can be distinguished by the crest on their head called a V-fin and their recurring similar design.
Transformers was a spin-off of Gundam plastic model kits.
Thank all those wonderful Cybertronians to Japanese anime.
... Enjoy the artwork.
