Mobile Suit Gundam: Operation- One Trick Pony.

That just sounds like a side story about the Pegasus-class assault ships.

Always and forever, the Trojan Horse's one trick is "have Gundam, will travel". 😜 

 

WRT the UC, it is pretty funny in hindsight to consider that all the Federation needed to do to squash half or more of the Zeon uprisings was just police Anaheim better.  They kept the conflicts going indefinitely by selling arms to both sides until SNRI snuck up and ate their lunch in the UC 100s.

Mobile Suit Gundam: Any Joke You Can Think Of Was Either Already a Mission, Story Or Trope In The Gundam Universe.

They really should have started doing that before the  Zeta era. 0083 showed that some already knew of their dealings. And the fact that they not only were supplying the feds, the Titans, Zeon Remnants and even the AEUG  is totally ridiculous. It would’ve made more sense if they had been doing the Votoms type of thing to create more advanced humans by forcing constant struggle, but they just were hyper greedy and couldn’t help putting a stamp on everything

Much like Acme in the Looney Tunes series...

Acme wasn’t nearly as bad. Sure they sold some fairly dangerous stuff to random people and animals, but it’s not like they were supplying items to both sides of the Cold War

Yeah, after a while they kind of run out of excuses... and even then it's not until UC 0096 and the aftermath of the Laplace Incident in Unicorn that the Federation bothers even trying to arrest anyone from Anaheim.  It still doesn't stick in the end.

Not that that gimmick doesn't get used... it's just not until like 10,000 years later in the Regild Century and Correct Century with the likes of Cumpa Rusita and Gym Ghingham trying to foment conflict because they firmly believe humanity needs it to survive and advance.

Anaheim... eech... Anaheim just decided to be greedy in the stupidest way possible by absorbing assets from the dissolved Zeonic and Zimmad, making them an independent division within the company, and then trying to pretend they know nothing about the huge amount of war materiel that keeps falling off the back of a space truck anytime there's some Zeon remnant with dreams of starting sh*t.

Anaheim should have stuck to sponsoring The Mighty Ducks.

Yeah, Emilio Estevez is a fountain of youth that hasn’t been exploited enough, they put too much effort into Charlie Sheen
