So Pitman and I were talking, and I basically pointed out how one of the MS from Gundam AGE looks like the mecha version of the Pitman from RO.
As the convo progressed we both agreed that coming up with MS that 'fit' the personalities of the different forum members could be funny.
I tried to include all the active members, but if I left someone out just point it out to me and I'll correct it. Also, I gave some people two simply because I couldn't decide which I liked better or I thought one was sort-of lame on its own. So its not a sign of preference, just me being indecisive again :/
Anyways, here we go...
Me:
Sarah:
Evan:
Aerin:
Kapool: I remember "woozlefish" being a thing with Aerin, and since its supposedly a "three-eyed blue fish" from what I've heard, I always pictured the Kapool.
Richter:
Gihren:
Big Zam Dozle Zabi Custom: Just look at it. That shiny bling on top of its over-the-top hugeness just screams "I work for the Zabis".
-or-
Geara Zulu Guards Type: if any MS screams "Zeon" the loudest, its the Guards-use Geara Zulu. I chose the Angelo Sauper version becuase Gihren seems to have a liking for crazy purple-colored units for some reason.
Carlos:
Ed:
Red:
Aki:
James:
Pitman:
Kellen:
And saving the best for last...

Me:
Loto: Because its a MS that turns into a tank, and I tend to flip-flop between whether I like tanks or mechs the best.
-or-
Old Zaku: because next to Carlos, I seem to be the "old man" on the forum.

Sarah:
Jesta: because its Operator.
Evan:
Musai: Not a MS, but "Do you moosai?"
Because its not a MS, I might have to add one... iunno, Tragos maybe?

Richter:
Rick Dom Stutzer: I at first at a loss, but then I remembered all the convos about Orks we had, especially about how he'd love to make an "Orky Mobile suit" if we ever had an RP it'd work in. And if there's one thing an ork loves, its "sumfink big an' stompy wiv lotsa dakka".
Though pretty much all the stutzers (and the Dra-C) look like something Orks would slap together if they suddenly had mobile suits on their hands.

Carlos:
Tequila Gundam: Because of a comment he said once about looking like a Mexican Guerilla when asked why he didn't want his picture up online. Seriously. If Pancho Villa had a MS... well it'd be a hell of a lot cooler, but it'd still have that gatling sombrero.
-or-
Ez8: Probably due to his constant use of this MS as his avatar, but whenever I see it I think "Carlos".

Ed:
DINN Raven: Maybe its because of all the raven/crow/vulture-themed MS and factions he's done recently, but the first MS to come to mind when I think Ed is the DINN Raven.
That said, a close second would be the Xeku Zwei, just because Ed seems to love those things to death.

Red:
Captain Gundam: its pretty self-explainatory IMO.
Aki:
Zaku II Commander: Aki just seems like the resident "Ace Pilot" type, and so the first thing that springs to mind would be a Zaku IIS in his silver colors (so that he gets forever confused by other Zeons with Shin Matsunaga, the way Johnny Ridden does with Char). I chose the Char version over the regular green one (or one of the others) because he also is basically the forum's Char fanboy.
James:
Rafflesia: because its the Gundam equivalent of a tentacle monster, so what better fits James?
Pitman:
Desperado: Just look at it. If this doesn't say "El Hombre de la Fosa", I don't think any MS does.
-or-
Shy-Tarn: Because "Beamspammer" seems to be Pitman's middle name, at least where RPs are concerned. Also because he seems to prefer F91/V-era tech over the others.

Kellen:
BaCUE: I remember someone (IIRC Zogtar) once more-or-less calling Kellen a "wolf", also he's had a couple wolf-themed factions in past RPs, so it just fits with my visual of him.

Rune:
Nobel Gundam: because the only picture I've ever seen of her, she was dressed like Sailor Jupiter. :3
-or-
Queen Gundam: Alternately because of her fashion sense, I'd go with the Queen Gundam, since its by CLAMP and as frilly as any corset I've ever seen:
