SD Gundam, a rip-off? Most definitely.
G Gundam, a rip-off? Nah.

Although I didn't like G Gundam, remember, G Gundam came BEFORE Gundam Wing (My vote as 2nd best Gundam series), so actually most of the character designs in Wing were taken from G, not the other way around.

SD gundam was a BIG rip off its really childish and crappy animation.

G gundam wasnt much of a rip but i still dont watch it.

G Gundam was alright, but the final finishing was a little over the top, i mean the whole damn thing just stopped when he said i love you and his cape just somehow turned into a dress on Rain.

but SD was pretty bad.

G Gundam wasn't a rip-off so much as:
a) The first experimental steps into the realm of the alternate universe (everything up to that point had been UC)
and
b) A director doing the best he could with the tools he was dealt (Imagawa first went to Bandai with a pitch for a war story...Bandai turned him down, handed him a bunch of outlandish Gundam designs and told him 'Make us a show with these'...so, he did... of course, he did it his way (which, compared to what Bandai wanted, was a lot better (the execs at Bandai wanted JUST the Gundam fight, no more, no less...Imagawa had to push to get the Devil Gundam storyline in there.))
Frankly, under the circumstances, I think he did rather well...

...as for SD Gundam...that all depends which SD you look at

The original 'Super Deformed' OVAs from the late 80s/early 90s. Those were just some fun parody of the UC material (...a bit esoteric, but hey)

Superior Defender, however...I wouldn't call it rip off so much as a major disappointment
