Where is the beam sabers!!!
ReplyDeleteShoulder armor is way too big and it shows that they have problem keeping it straight for the photoshoot.
ReplyDeleteIt has to be this big - just as big as the ankles, as in mobile armor mode these form claws, which of course should have the same size.
DeleteWeight issues, it needs a stand, a bit sad :(
ReplyDeleteThose blades are a bit too long. Pretty sure they're alot shorter in the series.
ReplyDeleteAfter MG Aegis... I wonder what's next.
ReplyDeleteWhat bothers me is that this should've been made 10 yrs again in its original airing.... a big fail of Bandai, but better late than never...
ReplyDelete+1 KUDOS!!!
DeleteThe feet don't seem like Aegis' feet
ReplyDeletePpl, get a few things through your heads. This is a prototype, not the final product, it's normal that it has weight issues at this stage. Also, the design is VEEEEERY diferent from the original, not just the ankles, or the blades, or the shoulders or whatever! It's redesigned, live with it
ReplyDeleteAgree with you. This prototype is made of solid 'clay-like' substance, that's why it has weight issues. Unlike the final product, which are made of plastic and have hollow space here and there.
DeleteThe thing here is if you don't like then don't buy. Bandai is not forcing you to buy MG Aegis
ReplyDeleteThat's very bad consumer policy. Whining is one thing, but it's always good to be critical of companies. Not listening to the consumer's expectations hurts both consumer and company (Mass Effect 3 ending, anyone?). Saying 'then just don't buy it' helps no one.
DeleteOT: Personally, I like the overall look of the kit. I'm a bit worried about the strength of the ankles and hips, but that's mostly a general concern about all recent MG's. I'll just wait until I see the final product.
Hm, an Action Base 2?
ReplyDeleteAlso, WHY OH WHY WASN'T THIS IN DISPLAY WHEN I WENT TO GFT A WEEK AGO!? :( *supersadface*
guys remeber that this is just the prototype its going to be a few months before the final product is ready so stop complaining and just enjoy the sample pics XP
ReplyDeleteWell, I think those bulky shoulder and elongated leg blades are for accomodating MA transformation.
ReplyDeleteInb4 you guys comment further...

Did anyone notice tht the V-fins can fold in
ReplyDeleteWE NEED MORE RG SEED AND SEED DESTINY!
ReplyDeleteDamn! bandai always know how to drain my wallet.
ReplyDeleteFrom the looks of it, in almost all the pictures, I see the Aegis being held up by clear blocks or an actual stand. If not, then the Aegis is seen to be falling backwards. Seems to me the ankles are definitely the weakest point and can't hold the model up on its own.
ReplyDeleteIts a damn prototype you fool. Its not made of the same material the final product will be made of. Of course its joints are shit weak.
Deletehey genius, that ankle joint appears to be the only piece providing all the articulation and it's a fucking polycap. even gundam 00 7sword had shit joints but at least its ankle wasn't just a one piece polycap design
DeleteOne polycap?! Oh my god, what are Bandai thinking?! That'll never work like it did on the tens of other existing MGs that use one polycap for the ankle joint.
DeleteThe ankle is definitely a problem. Not only is it structually weak, but also ugly. I hate to think that Aegis will turn out to be the worst of all the new SEED MG line
ReplyDeletetransformable ms never had good ankles in the mg line
ReplyDeleteyeah got to agree with everybody here, this looks ugly.. the other 3 look great so wonder why can´t they do the same good work on this one..
ReplyDeleteStanding beside Strike...the next prototype we see will probably be clamped to that poor Strike MG.
ReplyDeletethis mg aegis looks great baby!
ReplyDeleteahhh, just ignore some idiot people act as "experts" that seems to know everything about this mg even before its release.
also ignore some idiot that said "if you don't like then don't buy", "live with it". MEH.
I dun care, for me I'll buy this mg aegis, then complain later _after_ I buy it.
Aegis rock baby!
something tells me that Strike needs ver 2.0
ReplyDeletesomebody has finally gets it
DeleteLol, hope we get it in the form of Perfect Strike Gundam
DeleteIf you look at MG Duel, it's shoulders can pop up, so it might be reused for Strike 2.0
NEXT ... MG LEGEND GUNDAM FTW !!!!
ReplyDeletewhat the F!! can't you make a clear blue piece for the sensor on the head bandai!!!!!?!?!?!
ReplyDeleteIf your worried about weight issues then just pray it's better than the 00 joints and how much you want to bet that most of you were going to put him on an action base to begin with...
ReplyDeleteNow I can't wait for Arios, Kyrios and...
ReplyDeleteOops. Sorry, skipped a few didn't I?
kinda looks too busy but i like the aegis. leaning more towards buying it when it comes out.
ReplyDeleteIm still not 100% sold on it yet, im not the biggest fan of the aegis. Im hoping it will grow on me the more i see it, cus I really want it to finish the collection of the GAT machines.
ReplyDeleteAwesome boxart!
ReplyDeleteIn the box art, it looks like that the Aegis is flying in MA mode. I thought the first GAT-X series had no flight capabilities.
Deletemore like limited flight capabilities?
DeleteI wish I could have this as a birthday present together with MG Wing Gundam (TV ver.) *thinking of a great battle between these two*
ReplyDeleteSeeing it... i no longer want it. Those stupid redesigned areas kill it for me. How is it the 1/100 NG had a better looking transformation?
ReplyDeleteI don't like the empty hand sockets in MA mode. I thought the MG would correct this obvious flaw or at least hide it in some way.
ReplyDeleteI'm buying this one for sure. I hope bandai will also release MG Saviour and MG Justice. :) I love red ^^.
ReplyDeletethat pic when aegis capture powerless strike.. I thought at first it's a whole new GAT MS o_0

The latest images don't do it justice, its not even properly tranformed like the the older photos.
ReplyDeleteI believe it would look better in person. A lot figures tend to look better in person.
Pre-ordered. GAT-X series, I will complete you.
Since the GAT-X series are complete and we already have the Strike Noir, here's my next GAT-X wish list
ReplyDeleteBlu Duel
Verde Buster
Nero Blitz
Rosso Aegis
