The latest production image via Gundam UC Twitter, shows the Unicorn Gundam Banshee to be armed with the Beam Magnum, and not the Armed Armor VN & Armed Armor BS. The shape of the backpack looks different and can be outfitted with the shield. Looks like the Banshee will appear in the upcoming episode with new equipments. This illustration could be the mystery mobile suit gunpla kit that was seen at the Gunpla Expo World Tour 2012 Japan.
Finally the new equipment I have been waiting for so long has finally been announced. Banshee had a unique set of weapons but it didnt peak my interest.
ReplyDeleteSo Banshee just goes back to its basic equipment?
ReplyDeleteSo forgive me for missing any detail but didn't the HG Banshee can sort of "unofficially" became a normal Banshee with beam magnum & shield?
Yes it did and it was great! Mine is currently in the novel form. So this has to be something new. Bandai often milks buyers with different colored MS but there are normally enough differences to warrant the purchase such as the Jegan ECOAS vs. Stark Jegan vs. regular Jegan.
DeleteWhat about the MG? Can it become a novel Banshee?
DeleteI hope there is a different design to warrant a buy cause I don't wan't to see another SEED Zaku custom color Spam & 00 Trans-Am color Spam.
You can build the MG as the novel version. All the parts for the arms are included and even the full shield is there. You just need to give it a beam magnum. This would be particularly easy if you have the MG Full Armor Unicorn because it does come with two beam magnums.
DeleteDon't worry about the color spam, the novel version of the Unicorn Banshee has a green psycho frame plus whatever bandai has in store for us. Granted this is from an HG perspective, MGs tend to incorporate less extras. Also note that the UC gundam series isn't known for color spams, take the ReZel defensor C for example vs. the Commander ver.
DeleteHowever, I think the green Psycho frame was already released in MG form so there has to be some significant equipment to warrant this kit.
Sooo FA banshee or something like that?
ReplyDeleteWho knows, this could make me actually like the banshee in unicorn mode. and Is is just me or does the beam magnum seem a bit different, then again this is early production line art
ReplyDeleteMost likely it will be some new addons to the existing kit. But I might get this one since I wasn't too impressed with the Banshee's regular equipment.
ReplyDeleteThe rumors so far:
ReplyDelete1. Its the armor DE (A bigger shield with a Mega Particle Cannon at the top)
2. White color scene (like the original unicorn)
3. Change the backpack
None of these are confirm, the with a grain of salt
unicorn armored armor DE looks just like in Eureka 7 AO, where Ao got the quartz gun for his nirvash, the cannon seems rather similar to theunicorn's DE equipment.....
