* A tad dark watching the Zeon medical ship be destroyed is an amazing sight to watch as the Federation retaliates for violating the cease fire.

Was about to answer this, but no arguments in these entries, so it's gotta go.


*** Arguable since, while it is significant for them to have won Norris used his final attack not to finish off the Gundam, but the Guntank and in doing so complete his goal rather than simply prolonging the fight.

* The ACGUY has a weird reputation. It's really cute despite being a giant robot and a lot of people think of it as being rather {{Moe}} instead of an actual threat. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kw3PMyauHWQ And then one of them punches Karen's Gundam's head off with one hit.]]

Moments pages are Spoilers Off


* Shiro Amada gets nearly a minute of pure awesome, when in Episode 8 he [[spoiler: [[DodgeTheBullet dodges not one, but two rounds]], '''at point blank range''', from a '''ZAKU'S MACHINE GUN WHILE HE'S ON FOOT''', and then proceeds to [[ShootTheBullet shoot down two anti-personnel flechette grenades]]]].

Removing This Troper


* Whilst taking place in the same time frame as the original series, this series also has some awesome moments. This troper believes that the one that trumps all other moments in the series is summarized in {{Two Words}}: Norris Packard. The man single-handedly holds off the ''entire'' 08th MS Team and their reinforcements to protect a hospital ship, thus showing just how dangerous an AcePilot is compared to "normal" soldiers. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-Z6vcNX4_E Here it is,]] in all its glory.

* For This Troper, the moment in which Terry's Gundam jumps to attack the first Apsalus encountered by the protagonists, can basically be summed up as "RealRobot, that's a Gundam! I can die happy!"

** Shiro himself gets a minor one during this fight by ripping off his own mecha's arm and hitting Norris' mecha in the face with it. Fun to watch, but would have been significantly more awesome if he had thought to use his ''beam saber'' instead, which he still had (and in fact uses later in the battle).

* The Magella Tank team holding off of the 08th Team. Looks a bit mundane, if not for the fact that they held off two Gundams with three tanks, and this is long after it has been established that even the Magella Tank has it tough against even [=GMs=].
