It’s more noticeable in the case of the later gundam, and Neo Japan HAS had a couple of other Gundams including a Kappa http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/Turtle_Gundam and in superior defender gundam force, the oddly Zaku-like Busshi units are referenced with these guys http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/Zako_Busshi?file=Zako_Busshi.gif
