Talk:MS-07R-35 Gouf R35

Relative size of the shields
A version of the page described Gouf R35's shields as "smaller versions" of the Gouf shield... This depends on what you regard as the "proper" size for the Gouf shield. The original line art for the Gouf did have a somewhat larger shield. But compared to, say, the HGUC Gouf or the Gouf Custom, the Gouf R35's shields are about the same size. So it's a bit of a philosophical question, whether the shield is the same size as the original Gouf's (based on the HGUC version, the first MG, or the Gouf Custom) or smaller (based on the line art or the MG v2.0). Considering the R35 may have been built from a HGUC, it's fair to say, at least, that Ral probably didn't have to alter the shield to make it smaller.

I think it's much better not to attempt to "derive" bits of information like this from line art, brief appearances in the anime, or even the model kits. A minor design change like that may represent nothing more than one artist's drawing style. Get specs and such from official text or not at all.
