* ClippedWingAngel: Most of the Gundams have lost a significant amount of their abilities and equipment, most notably Wing Zero's shield and thus [[TransformingMecha its ability to transform into a fighter jet]]. While this was originally due to the RetConned designs simply being more streamlined, ''Glory of the Losers'' gives them redesigned versions of all the weapons and abilities they had in the TV series and then some, only to lose them to catastrophic damage at the Battle of Libra or be left behind on the vessel that was supposed to dispose of them in the sun.

* AllYourPowersCombined: [[spoiler:The Tallgeese III takes the best features of all of Zechs's previous mobile suits and combines them into an extremely effective and lethal package. It has the chassis of the original Tallgeese, a mega cannon with enough firepower to rival Wing Zero's Buster Rifle, and a Heat Rod-equipped shield similar to that wielded by the Epyon.]]



* DeusExMachina: No explanation is given for how Zechs survived a point-blank reactor explosion at the end of the series or where he got a new Tallgeese from. He just shows up in Lady Une's office and asks for a Preventer's callsign and authorization to deploy against X-18999 after having been presumed dead for a year.

The Gundam pilots must prevent Dekim from seizing power over the ESUN, but two things complicate matters: the pilots don't have their Gundams, and the only one that does -- Wufei -- ''[[FaceHeelTurn has defected to Dekim's side]]''.

* BroadStrokes: infamously, this movie featured completely redesigned Gundams even in flashbacks. There have been some manga and novels that attempted to explain the change, usually just settling for an upgrade that happened after the end of the series even if the flashbacks say otherwise. In any case all of the major story events of the series are events of the past.
** Though given the popularity of the new designs, some fans are okay with it being a simple Retcon.
