this actually makes for a better Gundam X design...
the satellite panels/wings are arranged quite nicely in that it replicates both the functions of the DX's wings folding down and the way GX uses its wings for propulsion. not to mention the backpack looks a lot more complicated compared to the DX's.
the connector for the cannon seems to be able to work in both sides, so basically slap this guy another cannon on it's left and you got yourself a twin satellite cannon version of GX
I love the redesign of the weapon system here... but can't say the same for the head
Strike's concept is having multiple roles by simply switching backpacks. So even if there's a new base mold, Bandai only needs to release more backpacks as "upgrades", sell them as Full kits or "Booster" packs and make money with a minimum amount of new runners.
A big improve all around Gundam X nearly entire suit, one exception for me is the face.... I don't know how to explain, but it turn me a bit down. (Original X's face looks better for me)
The only thing that turns me down is that the V-fin doesn't make the suit look... Really sharp. It makes me think of it being lazy-eyed. I guess I like angry-looking heads.
i honestly don't believe that this will use a satellite system for that weapon because if it does it will be a short lived unit (becoming a sitting duck while weapon charges via microwave = dead duck) other than that this is my other favorite unit especially when it was the divider.
I Love this suit, So glad I preorder it cant wait to see it in action

this design is really slick compared to the original X and DX
ReplyDeleteWhy can't this be the lead suit instead of boring old strike!?
ReplyDeleteBut yeah, definite buy!
Strike is cheaper to modify. New Backpack = new Kit = profit!
DeleteThe build strike is a 100% new mold, excluding the back pack.

ReplyDeleteIt's probably the humongous superrobot-ish V-fin
DeleteIn my case, I hate those cheek-guards, plus the heads from some other series (can't remember which one has rounded sides
DeleteIt's a modified Astray head.
DeleteTruly worth it's namesake: Demon King.

ReplyDeleteLooks almost sad to me.
DeleteCurved beam swords eh? But what's that blue core-lander like thing?
ReplyDeletenow I just need to kitbash this kit with my old x divider, I hate that shoulder and fin design
ReplyDeleteIt looks more terrifying in the magazine scan, with the primer on. In its normal colors, I don't see any "devil" factor...
ReplyDeletecool backpack..
ReplyDeleteGlad to see they're not skimping on the accessories.
ReplyDeletewhy the hips using ball joint???
ReplyDeleteUsing the old build. Too bad since it's obvious they can fix the joint using modern standards
DeleteDefinitely a lot better in terms of design and proportions compared to the upcoming Mg
ReplyDeletespecially those feets they're not that pointy..
The series will be a battle of a customized 1st gundams: Strike, Wing, GX, Mk-II

ReplyDeleteSo I just bought a 100th X to put together in mg.
ReplyDeletefrom what I can see, different greaves, skirt, shoulders, additional pods on the forearms and a modded head to what I'm going to build. ...
I'll take my X and turn it pretty, but I may not buy the Maoh
