* DisproportionateRetribution: In Episode 12 ("RMS-099 Rick Dias"), the AEUG engineers prank Quattro during a training simulation by making him fight a copy of his old MS-06S Zaku II. He responds by shooting at them; needless to say, the episode ends with him being forced to apologize.

* CallBack: Episode 12 has the basic format of "''[[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Zeta]]'' character in a training exercise with their starter MS, screws something up, and angrily writes a formal apology afterwards", which is the exact same format as Episode 2. The main difference is the details:
** Episode 2 has Kamille piloting the Gundam Mk-II, accidentally shooting an observer camera, and writing a whiny screed afterwards (in which he makes an InsultToRocks dig at Quattro).
** Episode 12 has Quattro piloting the Rick Dias, deliberately shooting at the technicians as "payback" for a prank (see DisproportionateRetribution below), and the paper for his apology was clearly crumpled into a WastebasketBall at some point.

!! This series of animated shorts contain the following tropes:
* AceCustom: All three Karaba pilots in episode 9 ("MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam") have individually tweaked versions of the venerable Zeta Gundam:
** White Unicorn (likely Amuro Ray) pilots a MSZ-006-3A Zeta Gundam III A Type. Its only visible differences between it and Kamille's Zeta are Amuro's personal emblem and a color scheme associated with him.
** Grey Wolf's MSZ-006-3B Zeta Gundam III B Type is in a yellow color (much to the pilot's chagrin), has additional airfoils, and a [[{{BFG}} giant beam gun]].
** Red Snake's MSZ-006-P2/3C Zeta Gundam III P2 Type is easily the most unique. It has completely redesigned armor with a spikey motif, a bright red color scheme, and a custom cockpit making it a MoCapMecha.
* AdaptationalBadass: In the ''Anime/MobileFighterGGundam'' episode, Rain (and the Rising Gundam) go from being "not really an action girl in a copy of the hero's obsolete first mecha" to "able to beat the hero in his MidSeasonUpgrade." Notably, she gets a [[{{Kamehamehadoken}} Rising Finger]] attack to counter Domon's God Finger.
* AllCGICartoon: Other than the first episode, which is made from clips from the original ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'' movies, everything is made of computer graphics.
* CanonImmigrant: Episode 8 ("GAT-105 Strike Gundam") has the Grand Slam sword, a weapon previously included with the Perfect Grade kit but not seen in any fiction.
* ClipShow: The very first episode is basically a ''very'' short retelling of the original ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'' condensed into about five minutes, concluding before the series' climactic battle a A Baoa Qu.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The first episode is a retelling of another series done using clips. Every other episode is an original story done in CGI.
* FixFic: As mentioned under SparedByTheAdaptation, both Quess and Chan survive the events of ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterAttack''. Supposedly, this change was brought on by Creator/YoshiyukiTomino (better known as "KillEmAll Tomino") being in a better place mentally.
* LowerDeckEpisode:
** Episode 11 ("RB-79 Ball") is about a team of {{Red Shirt}}s mopping up A Baoa Qu after the One Year War has ended. Well, trying, at least.
** On the villainous side of things, episode 13 ("RMS-108 Marasai") is about a young Titans pilot named Jonathan, one of the nameless, faceless {{mooks}} probably in the background of an early ''Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam'' episode.
* MoCapMecha: Along with the Mobile Fighters from the ''Anime/MobileFighterGGundam'' episode, Red Snake's custom Zeta Gundam's cockpit can be switched to a special mode that makes the suit copy her movements.
* NeverMyFault: Kamille is very upset at having to write a formal apology in episode 2 ("RX-178 Gundam Mk. II") for damaging equipment, since he insists he didn't do anything wrong.
* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: 14/15 episodes are narratives about mecha pilots in various sci-fi continuities of differing levels of seriousness. Episode 14, however, is about a fantasy land populated by SuperDeformed Gundams on a slapstick quest.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: Episode 5 (RX-93 Nu Gundam) features an alternate version of ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterAttack'' where rather than Chan shooting down Quess (and being murdered by Hathaway as revenge), Amuro arrives and traps Quess in his funnel barrier and defuses the tyke bomb, sparing both the ladies.
