| Does Char drop the space station on Australia in this game too? Hearing about that always made me really want to watch the series. |
You're confusing a couple of different things. In the original Gundam, Giren Zabi (the Gundam version of Hitler) drops a space colony on Australia. In ZZ Gundam I believe Haman Khan, a hot pink-haired bad girl, drops a colony on Dublin, but I haven't actually seen this series. And in Char's Counterattack Char tries to drop an asteroid base on the earth, then changes his mind, which fits with his character since he alternates between being a hero and a villain throughout his 2 TV series and 1 movie (despite being the hero's rival in the original Gundam, he ends up killing more Zabi family members than the hero does). |

Space Hitler aka Giren Zabi:
He's giving a speech to exploit his handsome brother's death for propaganda purposes. This is about episode 13 of the original anime, the colony drop on Australia happened before the anime began. It was intended to hit Jaburo, the Earth Federation's HQ in South America, but missed.
Space Hitler kills his own father, causing his sister to kill him, who ends up being killed by Char, who is fighting for the bad guys mainly so he can take out their leaders, who he blames for the death of his father, a (peaceful) space independence figure unlike the warmongering Zabi family. That doesn't mean he doesn't resent Amuro, the Earth Federation pilot he often fights.
They put aside their differences in Zeta Gundam, to defeat an elite branch of the earth military that's trying to sieze control of the solar system. Neither is in ZZ Gundam, but they're the focus of the movie Char's Counterattack.
Char is disappointed that after they defeated the earth elitists, the center of power wasn't moved to space, where most people live. He thinks people shouldn't live on earth because it pollutes the planet. So he buys this asteroid base:
and decides to drop it on the earth to kill all the people living there. But Amuro defeats him, and talks to him while holding his escape pod, and together they help move the asteroid away (along with grunt soldiers from both sides). And they burn up in the effort. It's a nice ending, it's really where Gundam should have stopped. |

| For TOLL- How many Char clones are there? Why? |
Zechs in Gundam Wing and Rau in Gundam SEED are the most blatant Char clones. They're got the blonde hair, practically the same masks, and similiar voices.
ZZ Gundam has a villain called Gremy Toto who was originally supposed to be Char, but was changed to an original character when they decided to make the movie Char's Counterattack. They figured it would be more dramatic for Char to make his dramatic return in a movie that was all about him rather than for him to be in ZZ Gundam where there was already an awesome villain (Haman Khan).
V Gundam has a villain with a mask that's arguably a Char clone, although he claims his mask is to keep dust out of his face when he's on the earth.
Turn a Gundam has a blonde badass with weird sunglasses, that some people consider that series' Char. The thing is, he's fanatically loyal to his queen, whereas Char pretty killed all of his superior officers, so I'd argue that he's not a Char clone.
There are some Char clones in non-Gundam series too. The anime Dragonar is a blatant Gundam ripoff with a Char clone, if I remember correctly. |
