Every single one of Gugenheim’s redesigns has knocked it out the park. He’s managed to redesign a mecha that so many fail to get right. That’s some skill right there.

Damn, my Opinionator-3000 is picking up a whopping 0.0000000001% good taste and 999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999.99% horrible taste reading from that opinion of yours! :lol:

Okay, I will admit the body's design is growing on me. The face still looks horrible, though.

Yeah, thats about the response I expected LMAO. Sorry man, just not a fan of ultra man. Mostly the character designs. And I didnt really like Jet until recently, though I was being a bit over dramatic just to see the responses Id get. :lol:

Precisely. I am the be-all and end-all decider of opinion quality and anyone who says otherwise is wrong.

Pretty good if it didn't have an arrow pointing to his crotch.

Jet Jaguar roll out.

I do not agree :P

His… suggestive logo placement and his elongated head is quite bizarre.

Well, a man is ought to have some sort of defining signal that highlights his assets. Even if he's a 50 meter tall humanoid robot. He ain't called "Jet" for nothing you know...

Jokes aside not a bad design honestly, aside from the head looking a bit awkward.

Not a fan of either of those JJ designs tbh. The Gugenheim one has a weird looking face and the 202vincent one looks like a generic mecha.

On the subject of Jet Jaguar, I’ll throw my hat into the ring. Jet Jaguar redesign sketch from some time ago.... Not the best out there, I know. Will probably look better if I was to redo it and iron out some details n’ crap. Took some (fairly obvious) cues from 90’s MechaGodzilla/Super MechaGodzilla.

It’s not good, but I’d say the art style is, and it has potential.

Imma be honest, I love this. His 'roided out look screams 90's era comic book characters like Venom.

Not going to lie this is some of the coolest artwork posted in this thread. Would look awesome if it were some comic villain like the Lizard Man or Killer Croc instead of Godzilla.

As a serious redesign it wouldn't work at all but I think it would work great for super hero type series or an over the top shonen style anime.
