SPRING 2024 - ANNIVERSARY: The Gouf was designed as an earth-based close combat mobile suit, outclassing the Zaku II in nearly every way on the planet. It ended up never making full mass production, as the suit, though powerful, wasn't cost effective compared to the Dom. Ramba Ral showcased the Gouf's power in a fierce battle against Amuro Ray and his Gundam RX-78-2.

Did my best on the top two powers, but I feel pretty lost on how attack actions work, and how to word the machine gun power.

[Karat]

You don't need the "ignoring swipes" part in the first power as placement powers inherently do not take swipes.

Entangling Shock looks good but you don't need that second comma in the first sentence.

I'll have to research more to appropriately answer how to word the Machine Gun

[Soundwarp SG-1]

Heh, this just made me realize I guess we have to deside if our Zaku II is a ground / space / whatever the other totally identical looking one is for the letter after its number now

Something I totally forgot to bring up with Gundam 2.0, since I know at least He-Man is possibly switching to Mattel as its 'publisher' do we want to move Gundam stuff to to Sunrise or Bandai?

Not really likely to be relevant the way moving He-Man out of DC could be, but just figured I'd bring it up before we're too deep in.

[Lord Pyre]

I’m cool swapping to the actual owner, personally. I’d have to figure that out for Silverhand too actually.

I think the SA works fine within the new rules layout.

Agreed. Looks good to me.

Wording suggestions on first ability:

HEAT ROD
Instead of a move action, you may choose an enemy within 4 clear spaces who is not Tiny and whose base is no more than 10 levels above Gouf's height or 10 levels below Gouf's base. Place the chosen figure adjacent to Gouf.

[IAmBatman]

In the special attack, you can get rid of "the" and "this" before Gouf and just say Gouf. If it's non-italicized, the name refers to the figure associated with the card.

[Lord Pyre]

SW used “the” before the Gundam so I assumed we’d do that for vehicles. ”The sports car receives a wound” does sounds a bit more natural than “Sports car receives wounds”

[IAmBatman]

I'm cool with that. Just be sure to do it consistently and instead of the "this" uses.

[Lord Pyre]

Updated.

[IAmBatman]

Put some "the"s in the first ability for ya.
