Epyon was ORIGINALLY designed by Hajime Katoki, so it doesn't need to be redesigned by him. There was a fan redesign contest and I have a pic or two from it, but other than that, nothing. Mayhaps if you use MAHQ, you should look towards the bottom to check who the original designer of a unit is, if applicable. ;)

In fact, BTW, all the Gundams and whatnot were designed by Katoki in Wing. Epyon didn't appear in Endless Waltz and didn't to my knowledge have an early design comparable to the old early designs for the other Gundams, so there has never been a redesign outside of fan stuff.

Ermm... Katoki had nothing to do with Wing until Endless Waltz. Kunio Ookawara designed all of the Wing Gundams. Hajime Katoki wasn't involved until he was hired to redesign them for EW, and in addition he did retroactive redesigns of the original Wing MS. But that's all.

Huh. I was under the impression he did the Early designs as the originals and Okawara refined them. Maybe I'm insane. *thinks*

Yes, most likely. Anyways, evafan88, I'll see what I can do about the fanarts. I've got so much crap on my comp it's absurd (I seriously have 5GB of 250 left).

As stated above the only thing redisigned by Katoki was the gundams for endless waltz. Katoki's answer for the epyon was the crossbred incarnation of the tallgeese III which shares parts of TG I/II and the epyon.
