No. Bad poster. You are not a mecha pilot, much less one from a fictional possible future. As for Wing as a mech, i'd be more inclined to it if Zeta and Airmaster didn't do the concept five times better, and with far less wank.

Addendum: And yet it is still Deathscythe, same as the ZZ is still the ZZ even after the hardframe attachments, or the GP01 is still the same suit after the Vernier installation.

No because they actually changed the name. They may not have said it in the series but if you go to fficial sites the name for the modified Deathscythe is Deathscythe Hell. And what concept are you even applying here?

I'm applying the 'Modification' concept. Same model, new fiddly bits. Same with the GP01/GP01 Full Vernier, same with ZZ/ Full Armor Enhanced ZZ, same with Gundam and Gundam X divide, same with Airmaster/ Airmaster Burst, or how Char's ZakuIIs started existence as a standard ZakuII, or any OTHER instance of a Mobile Suit getting an upgrade or nifty new attachment and going by a slightly different callsign. Unless you switch out the entire ship, it is still your grandfather's axe, to borrow a phrase from discworld. Even though the FAEZZ is an upgraded suit with a slightly new name, this doesn't make calling it the ZZ incorrect. Same with Deathscythe. Same with Astray Red Frame, Blue Frame, Gold Frame and all of their insane variations and modifications, and they went through mods that would make the wing suits envious. Especially Blue and Gold frames.
