I don't know how that weird posture got into the model kits in the first place, though - I don't think it's in any of the design art, and Gelgoogs don't even hold their rifles like that in the anime!

Hajime Katoki also went all-in on this theme in his book Gundam Fix... perhaps another example of Katoki's influence on so many things about Gundam. I definitely think you can spot this aesthetic in most 2010s Gundam anime at some point or another.
on the box for the vintage 1/144 model kit, Johnny Ridden's buddy is a regular Zaku
on the promo page for the Robot Damashii Anime figure, it's a regular Zaku: https://t.co/78KCjMApCj

the furtive beam rifle, so easily forgotten, gets a ton of screen time in @toysdream's art for this new comic promoting the Gundam Universe toys:

...in fact, I think the rifles with big square e-packs get totally snubbed (and I don't mean barrel length!)
can't confirm it, but I feel pretty sure that Justice's design actually has quite a bit of homage to Tekkaman Blade in it!
besides body proportions and pointy shapes, her Gamma Ray hatch/core dealies are particularly reminiscent of the Voltekka thingers...
