  1. I wish that Banshee and Unicorn gets a 2.0 or maybe 3.0 treatment. their MG aren't good at all. The articulations is very limited, I know Its hard for a transforming Gundam to do but there should be a way. And not to forget the VN on Banshee is very anime inaccurate and the gold sucks. The only good gold out there is the HG Delta

    1. Because you didnt like the unicorn/banshee MG it doesnt mean that arent good. Yes their articulation is limited and it has some balance issues but people that buy MG unicorns/banshees today already know what they are buying, if you want a toy then buy the RD. Also Bandai wont make a 2.0/3.0 of them because they still have one MG banshee to realease and its cheaper to use the same molds rather than make a "new" one. If you have a problem with the gold paint it, trust me it is not that hard to use a brush and buy gold paint and for the armed armor VN what did you expect? the MG was realease before Ep 5 I think.

  2. Norn Unicorn Mode > Banshee Destroy Mode

    If I had the money I'd be all over this RD. It looks way better than the HG Norn and MG Banshee

  3. As tempting as this is I think I'll wait to see Banshee Norn Destroy Mode. We know it's coming!

    1. I'm not so sure that the Norn can go into Destroy mode. Ridhe is not a newtype

    2. He is a newtype, that just hasnt awaked...the Armed armor XC is suppose to enchance the link between pilot and machine so that may have some influence in riddhes newtype powers awakening. proof of this: Ep 2 he sense the unicorn launching & Ep 6 he sense the FA unicorn coming above him (note as nothing in banshees system indicates unicorn was in the area)

    3. Even if it doesn't show up in the anime you can bet Bandai will make a model for it as an msv. Take Hi-nu for example.

    4. The 1/100 Armed Armor DE that was released with the magazine had sort of a destroy mode -- the psychoframe fins from the normal shield underneath opens up. I think it is fair to speculate that the Norn may have a Destroy Mode. I'm hoping it has a different colored psychoframe (a firey orange like in the manga hopefully).

  4. Oh cool, that backpack thing can be equipped on the Destroy mode release, so we don't have to buy a RD Banshee Norn Destory mode. But knowing Bandai when the Banshee Norn Destroy mode appears in ep. 7, there's going to be something different about it make us buy another one. Probably a different colored psychoframe like what FrustratedPhenotype said.
