History FanNickname / Gundam

** VideoGame/MegaMan - Frite Asuno, based on the design of his pilot suit.

** As of Asemu's arc, the series is starting to be called Gundam TimeSkip due to [[CaptainObvious its extensive use of Time Skips.]]

** GN Pixie Dust - GN Particles, self explannatory just by looking at them, and also because they give abilites that are almost [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann Spiral Power]] level in proportion.

** GN Guncannon - The unnamed mobile suit Ribbons pilot in the finale, due to its resemblance to Guncannon (except way larger). The fact that Furuya called it "Ribbons Cannon" does not help.
*** Its official names are "Reborns Gundam" and "Reborns Cannon"; there's even an MSV version that completes the Amuro {{Homage}} by having a Reborns Tank form.

** Prince Ali - Ali Al-Saachez, since his first name is a popular name for Literature/ArabianNights princes, but most infamously the disguise used by {{Aladdin}} in the Disney version: Prince Ali. Thus, there has been some MemeticMutation replacing Aladdin in his Prince guise with Ali Al-Saachez' face, and they even poke fun with his ImageSong: ''"Prince Ali, Mighty Is He!"''

*** The writers apparently took this to heart in [[Gundam00AWakeningOfTheTrailblazer the movie]], wherein the man who is seen talking to Aeolia Schenberg at the end of the movie, who [[WildMassGuessing likely contributed the genetic data for the Ribbons line of Innovades]], is also voiced by Tohru Furuya and bears the name "E.A. Ray."

** '''SUPER ASIA''' - [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam Master Asia]], after an [[{{Narm}} embarassing]] speech he said in Episode 25.
** [[Advertising/TheBurgerKing The (Burger) King]] - The AnthropomorphicPersonification of The King of Hearts (Domon's rank as [[TheHero the leader]] of the Royal Flush Gang) that is [[SummonMagic summoned by]] [[OfficialCouple Domon and Rain's]] CombinationAttack, the [[FinishingMove Sekiha]] [[ThePowerOfLove Love-Love]] [[KamehameHadoken Tenkyoken]]. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fUJ6LehQ3I See it for yourself.]] Alt. known as '''THE [[PrecisionFStrike MOTHAFUCKIN']] BURGER KING'''.
** Student of the School of the Undefeated of the East - any character in any series (yes, even non-Gundam series) that does something suitably badass (i.e. manages to fight HumongousMecha hand-to-hand, [[NightmareOfNunnally Zero]] and [[GiantRobo Alberto the Shockwave]] are the most notable) is often given this distinction (after Domon and Master Asia's reality-warping martial art feats).

** The Druggies - The three pilots of the Raider, Forbidden, and Calamity Gundams in ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSeed Gundam SEED]]'' are designated "Biological [=CPUs=]" and require constant chemical enhancements to allow them to pilot on the same level as genetically enhanced Coordinators. Notable for being used as more of a term of affection than derision among the fandom, despite the name's negative connotations. The Japanese equivalent of this nickname is "Baka Trio", from the word for stupid or idiot.

** Captain Hershey: Stoller Guavaran, best known for [[TrademarkFavouriteFood munching on chocolate bars.]]

** Among mecha fans, a division is often made between works that Tomino directed while suffering from depression (''SpaceRunawayIdeon'', ''MobileSuitZetaGundam'', ''Anime/MobileSuitVictoryGundam''), and those made after he recovered (''Anime/TurnAGundam'', ''OvermanKingGainer''), calling him "Evil Tomino" and "Happy Tomino" respectively.

** The Bat-Gundam - The Gundam Deathscythe Hell in ''GundamWing'', especially the ''Endless Waltz'' version, based on its resemblance to Comicbook/{{Batman}}.

* ''GundamSeed/[[GundamSeedDestiny Destiny]]''
** The Druggies - The three pilots of the Raider, Forbidden, and Calamity Gundams in ''GundamSEED'' are designated "Biological [=CPUs=]" and require constant chemical enhancements to allow them to pilot on the same level as genetically enhanced Coordinators. Notable for being used as more of a term of affection than derision among the fandom, despite the name's negative connotations. The Japanese equivalent of this nickname is "Baka Trio", from the word for stupid or idiot.
** Jesus Yamato - Kira Yamato as of ''GundamSEEDDestiny''. Given to the character by disgruntled fans who feel that the character was made invincible and given an OmniscientMoralityLicense simply due to [[PopularityPower being popular with the Japanese audience]], or because of the perceived notion that he is series director Mitsuo Fukuda's MartyStu. Related are the nicknames "Virgin Mary Clyne" or "Virgin Mary 2.0" for Lacus Clyne, for the same reasons as Kira, only with Lacus being accused of writer Chiaki Morosawa's AuthorAvatar.

* ''{{Gundam 00}}'':

** Bad/Evil Amuro - Ribbons Almark, Alejandro Corner's useful [[spoiler: and traitorous]] servant, as a result of being voiced by TohruFuruya, who played Amuro Ray from the original ''MobileSuitGundam'', and there's also "Fucking Ribbons" after he [[spoiler: reveals himself to be the true big bad and leaves Corner to die as well as many other bastard moves he does henceforth.]].

** Kobe Byalant - The RX-160S Byalant Custom in OVA 4; despite being an outdated [[MobileSuitZetaGundam Titans]] design, it more than holds its own against a multitude of Sleeves and Zeon Remnant suits, ''simultaneously''.

* ''GundamX''

** '''SUPER ASIA''' - [[GGundam Master Asia]], after an [[{{Narm}} embarassing]] speech he said in Episode 25.
