Mine is pic related, the Victory Gundam. What I like about it is how modular the mobile suit is. It's the result of years of ms tech late into the Universal Century where now the Gundam is mass produced. In the show the rebel forces are shown to have a stockpile of Gundams in a bunker so they can burn through parts.
Honorable mention to the RX-79 G ground type Gundam from 8th MS Team.
Tallgeese. I just think it's neat.
That was my favorite for a long time and then I was partial to the Zaku I Sniper before settling on the Crossbone Gundam. Everything about it is so fuggin' sick
Hell yeah! May not be a Gundam, but it was the prototype that lead to all the other mechs for the Wing series. So I still more or less count it and its sequels on-par with the Gundams. I got an Endless Watlz special edition Master Grade model and was just sick! So was the whole set from that line of models, really need to finish collecting them. Aside from TG I, I have: Deathsythe (non-Hell), Wing (non-Zero), Heavyarms (pre-custom), and Sandrock (haven't built it yet though). It is nice to see what the original versions look like with the Endless Waltz treatment.
The RX-79(G) is my favorite! I loved it in the PS2 game, it had such a cool loadout to play with.
I loved it in the PS2 game
Which game, Federation vs Zeon by Capcom?
Love that game. Still have a working copy on the ps2 that i bust out every now and then.
My cousin had it and I used to borrow it from him along with Fed v Zeon and Zeonic Front, ZF is another gem that gets slept on, it's like Rainbow Six but with mobile suits.
Zeonic Front is so fucking good.
Please everyone play zeonic front and then talk to me about it
Tequila Gundam goes kinda hard
I'm not sure if I should be offended because this is ... somehow racially insensitive... or I should celebrate the diversity of cultures depicted in the show... 
G Gundam has some problematic shit in it. At least the pilot of the Tequila Gundam (yes, it's called that) is more or less a normal character. The depiction of the pilot and Gundam from Neo-India are just racist.
If your favorite isn't Arachno Gundam, ur a 
.
::: spoiler spoiler Jokes aside, I'm a pretty big fan of the Turn A:
And the Gundam X has a cool asymmetrical thing I like:
I like the Zeta a lot, too, but that feels like a basic b choice.

I like the custom zeta from gundam sentinel
The Amuro Karaba Zeta does have a cool color way. I think it was in Green Divers?
In my rush to meme about the Fidel Gundam, I forgot about this dope one.
which one is the main gundam
This one.
I love how Hurricane Gundam only makes it to the tournament by pretending to be a windmill during the elimination round. That, and
Turn A spoiler
its cameo in the "dark history" files in Turn A.
I'm partial to a lot of the designs from Gundam Wing (which I feel was a visual high-point for the series both in design and in general art / animation quality), as well as the wacky-ass (and yes, at times "problematic", as in kinda racist) designs from G-Gundam.
In particular, I like Heavy Arms (Custom or regular), Sandrock, Grizzly Gundam (Representing Canada), Zebra Gundam (Representing the entirety of Africa except Egypt for some reason), and whatever Denmark's doofy fucking whale-transformer Gundam was called. I don't even actually like that one, but I feel compelled to at least mention it because of how absurd it is.
Yeah G Gundam does encroach into some very old timey racist caricatures of other countries through the lens of Japan.
Zebra Gundam is racist as fuck, which sucks because I think the design is genuinely rad. Also, if anybody hasn't seen Gundam Maxter, that's the US gundam from G-Gundam, and it's fucking hilarious. Chibodee Crocket , the pilot of Gundam Maxter, is canonically the shittiest of the main cast of G-Gundam.

The football player/surfer/cowboy/boxer lmao

He just wants to be loved by his mommies (and Domon)
Gundam Wing was my first experience with Gundam, so they've all got a special place in my heart. But, "It's Wing Zero!" Is what pops in my head on a regular basis.
Gundam Wing was my first experience with Gundam
Same. The Deathscythe has a special place in my heart, I had a kit of it as a kid.
Nice
As a kid I loved Deathscythe and Epyon, though I only ever got the Epyon kit(3 times!)
The Wing Zero Custom from Endless Waltz with the silly angel wings is such a classic lol
It makes me feel such Rhythm Emotion.
Edit: ah yeah, that's the stuff.
As a kid I used to watch this Endless Waltz ad over and over (from a DVD or one of the PS2 games) because it had a snip of this scene and other dope stuff with Last Impression over it lol.
Turn A, has a cool mustache.
I always like the Rick Doms as well. Their skirt is great.
The Rick Dias is one of my all-time favorite anime robots.
"What if the Rick Dom was just a friendly little guy?" seems to be the concept to me lol
Im sorry that’s just a queen slaying in some heels, you can’t fool me, that isn’t a mech
Edit: I’m so sorry about my reactionary perspectives. Of course mechs can be queens that are slaying. I have done self crit
I like the one with the cool laser sword
I also like the one with the cool laser sword, but ackshually on this model it's called a beam zanber
Crossbone Gundam X1
No, not that one
It's called a "Beam Saber" 
Yeah, exactly, you know the one in talking about
Not a gundam but I always liked the Grunts like the ZakuII
Gundam has so many great grunts, the Zaku II being such an iconic design.
I particularly love the Grimoire from G-Reco: 
And the Tieren from 00
I'm not sure if it still counts as a grunt, but Chuchu's Demi Trainer is awesome:
Zaku II is my favorite non gundam ms too.
I think my favourites are all grunt designs: Jesta, Jegan ECOAS type, Chuchu's Demi Trainer
Also the Ball. I love that thing
Probably the Ez8 Gundam, for being the closest a Gundam would get to being a grunt suit. GP01, Turn A, Unicorn, Barbatos and Aerial are cool too. (But my guilty pleasures are the Freedom/Strike Freedom and the Wing Zero Custom EW for how stupidly over-designed and OP they are.)
I'm relatively new to Gundam compared to a lot of people here maybe, but right now I think the Schwarzette is a pretty cool design:
Also, maybe this is heresy talking about it here, but some of the recent Transformers designs are also pretty neat:
Can you tell that I really like glowing neon swords?
So, what I'm getting from this thread is that there is a lot of Gundam out there.
I was too dumb as a child to understand it.
Been a thing since 1979, we got decades of Gundams.
The Neo Zeong, narrative version.
