Since October, the official Mobile Suit Gundam franchise has been hosting the "Worldwide Gundam General Election 2025," a global poll to determine the most popular Gundam of all time, drawing fans from around the world to vote for their favorite Mobile Suits.
The recent mid-term results have dropped, revealing a surprising and fiercely contested battle for the top spot between the "Windmill Gundam" from Mobile Fighter G Gundam and the "Gundam GP01 Full Burnern" from Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory. This unexpected, neck-and-neck race has ignited a passionate debate across the Gundam fandom.
This global voting event aims to crown the ultimate fan-favorite Gundam from every series in the franchise's history. Voting kicked off on October 9, 2025, and runs until December 25, with the final results slated for release in Spring 2026. Official tallies will include both a global ranking and regional lists for each language, with brand-new illustrations commissioned for the champion Mobile Suit of each category as a commemorative honor.
The "Gundam GP01 Full Burnern" is the iconic unit piloted by protagonist Kou Uraki in 0083, a high-mobility space combat variant. With its sleek design and stellar performance in battle, it's a perennial fan favorite. In stark contrast, the "Windmill Gundam" from G Gundam, piloted by New Holland's representative Rutger Barhoeven, is renowned for its bizarre "windmill" design, often categorized as a quirky or unconventional Mobile Suit.
Yet, in a shocking turn of events, the Windmill Gundam has leveraged its unique charm and fervent fan support to nearly catch up to the protagonist unit in votes. This "underdog upset" has many fans exclaiming, "This is truly inspiring!"
The official post was flooded with Windmill Gundam fans, urging everyone to vote and help their beloved Mobile Suit achieve this honor, much to everyone's amusement.
With fans able to cast one vote daily, dedicated Windmill Gundam supporters have been diligently "checking in" every day, sparking a wave of enthusiastic support on X. Some fans even joked, "Since the Windmill Gundam is a mass-produced unit in its lore, maybe it's winning by sheer 'numbers'!"
If this momentum continues, the Windmill Gundam might just secure a spot in the final top ranks, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with other legendary Gundams. So why not head over to the "Worldwide Gundam General Election 2025" official website and cast your vote for your favorite Mobile Suit?
