Kira's requisite Strike Freedom upgrade in my ginormous Cosmic Era fanfiction. takes some cues from the Eternal Freedom Gundam or whatever it was called from the Japanese DESTINY fanfic Gundam SEED REVIVAL, and some inspiration from the likes of the Wing Zero.
WackyModder84 is gonna have to judge on your Gundam but it looks like there have been improvements from that disaster Striker Freedom. It also looks like it receives the same nuclear reactor as Freedom did so good job. This could easily topple the might of Amatsu Gold Frame.
the main thruster are in between the wings, when the dragoons are deployed, the wing generate a super Lumiere systems, (the blue wings or light behind strike freedom) allowing for greater speeds and maneuverability. tho this "vega" freedom and the strike freedom would lose out the the 00 quanta any day
I really like your design, although this might be a bit overkill
Things I liked: The amount of weapons and how you made them fit The general look of the gundam The idea that you created this from
Questions: Why is this gundam so heavily armored compared to the previous 2? Why does the head look a lot like the astray series? is this intentional? How did you decide the placements of all of the wing cannons? did you take some inspiration from blast impulse?
Kira in general is overkill, so i tried to go for the same with his Gundam. there may have been some influence from the Blast Impulse, but the main influence i was looking at was the Wing Zero from Gundam Wing, which is pretty overkill-y itself.
cant really tell from this angle, but those are 4 more wings in the back right?
although there are a lot of things on this gundam, and kira would definitely be able to make use of them, but arent there a lot of stuff typically not on his gundams? like the flares, and the link wires and stuff. what made you want to add those?
and although kira's later 2 gundams, freedom and strike freedom are pretty much heavy assault gundams, doesnt his fighting style also rely on his mobile suits' maneuverability and agility? would this gundam be able to continue that trend?
i put the Strike Freedom's wings and the regular Freedom's wings together on one machine, which was pretty overkill-y but that works pretty well for Kira. i was also trying to call back to the Wing Zero and give the impression of this thing being a step up from the Strike Freedom. the Wing Zero is one of those ultimately powerful Gundams in the franchise. and it's also a reference to "Gundam SEED REVIVAL," which has a version of the Freedom that looks similar to this, and i wanted to reference it for storyline reasons.
CE background material never tried to quantify the maneuverability or whatever of its mecha. since it's got beam wings in there too, built into the Freedom's wing array, i figure it has enough to keep up the trend.
For years I search for anyone who can combine the best weapons from both Freedom Gundam and Strike Freedom Gundam, but I'm sort of disappointed. The only thing I have to complain about is the wing configuration, it is confusing me.

I hated how the impulse destroys it, because it felt so cheap
