Okay... how do I tag this? Gundam_Ashtaron_(cosplay) and Gundam_Virsago_(cosplay) for those two Daughtresses Neo kitbashed with Ashtaron/Virsago-looking parts?

Dunno, personally just went with tagging them both that one time pinguinkotak stuck ritter arms on double X.

I tend to just use fusion for kitbashes, unless they're specifically designed to look like they're wearing another MS as armor
Okayy... took a while to translate this, because while I understand what she is saying... all those English loanwords have a lot of implied 'in-circle' Gundam (and real robot mecha genre by extension) setting jargon-info that is hard to convey without adding too many words and deviating from the original syntax.
Especially, the "data feedback" part, which is almost always written in English. This refers to both the technical specs of a machine and all the data collected by the AI combat computer of the MS, which is then used later on to develop the next generation of Mobile Suits... with all this implied jargon being reduced to just two katakana English words "data" and "feedback". I could get away with just using the term as it is on the previous page, but here it starts getting awkward so I had to add more words to capture all the various implied meanings.
This word is also responsible for why a lot of MS descriptions (on official media including Gunpla) will often describe something as "influenced by/developed with/using feedback data from [insert some earlier MS here]", which can sometimes sound awkward in English. Some of the more natural-sounding translations just drop the word "feedback" and use "...data obtained from" instead.
Anyhow... leaving the following to a second post to separate mentions.
Just to get things straight, these Daughtress Neo variants never 'happened' in canon right? Not even in the most obscure of supplementary sources?
So she just... uh... shares a preference with certain Gundam Build characters who prefer using mook mechs but would then heavily customize them until they are pretty much the same as as a Hero-Protagonist/Main-Villain's personal MS in both theme and function (if not better)? Because using a major character's personal MS causes issues with canon when trying to 'roleplay' it out or something? But they still want to "dive" with something suitably heroic and 'protagonisty' (or 'villainy'), so they customize it until it's effectively similar to a main character's MS anyway? But this time it's all properly roleplayed out and doesn't conflict with the lore?
Is that it? G-Spring Goddess wanting to Gunpla battle with Virsago and Ashtaron but doesn't like the lore problems it would imply (especially if one of them gets destroyed), so she wants to get Daughtresses Neo and customize them until they are effectively the same as Virsago and Ashtaron... but lore-wise now disposable mooks instead of causing canon lore to implode if they die?

X doesn't have much in the way of supplementary material, especially since its the only series besides the original to have gotten cancelled. Iirc it doesn't really have any MSV books, and the two sequel/epilogue mangas only really have upgrades to the main hero units.
Take the technical data specs from both the Virsago and the Ashtaron! Feed it back into the system, let it resonate stronger, intenser!
"Let the DATA undergo even more intense FEEDBACK", but at this point the English loanwords are starting to turn into word salad when left as is in the translation, so...
Now it feels like they're a black-ops personal guard squad, hand-picked by the Frost Brothers themselves!
Of course, even with all these improvements, they can still be considered disposable machines, fit to be used as sacrificial pawns by the brothers!
Daughtress Neo Virsago
Daughtress Neo Astaroth
Yes, "Astaroth".
And with both of them docked together in a joined state, why, they can even use the Mega Sonic Cannon!
