GUNDAMS ON MOTORCYCLES!
ReplyDeleteYour argument is invalid now.
I'm really wanting to get this just to customize 00 raiser's wings with this one's wings/shields. I like its design
ReplyDeleteDO IT BRO
DeleteYup, do it.
DeleteI'm also planning to buy one just to cannibalize; I'll be customizing Wing Fenice to have a bird mode with the Meteor hopper components
LOL YES! The gunpla modelers are going to sweep down on this release like vultures and pick this thing apart! But I can see why...a lot of potential for cutomizing this thing and its parts. Hope to see a lot of this in gunpla releases from now on, and with the builders line this will probably happen. btw to anon 9:12, are you going to double the green side of the Fenice using two of em with the bird mode? Or keep the asymmetrical design but with the addition of a bird mode. Like the idea of a "00 fenice" too. Either way good luck to everyone's customizations....long live gunpla!
Delete9:12 Anon here, I'm planning a symmetrical thing but I think I'll wait if Bandai's lazy/kind enough to include enough of the basic Wing Gundam parts before pre-ordering 2 kits.
DeleteNice, since they didn't change the mold for the wings, the shoulders are also included.
DeleteToo bad that you can't use the beam cape without mods on the standard shoulders
GET TO ZE HOPPER!!
ReplyDeleteBird mode? fuck that...........................................................................................................................................
ReplyDeleteOh my God, I just realized that this is basically the Gunpla version of the scooter that Riccardo Fellini rides around.
ReplyDeleteI just had the same realization. >.<
Deletebarnaby brooks jr?
ReplyDeleteReminds me of the Mega Rider back in the Gundam ZZ days, modernized. Not sure if the Meteor Hopper is armed, though. The Mega Rider had at least one beam cannon.
ReplyDeleteLooks like good kitbash material, I agree. The shield is nicely stylized vs. the default Wing one, just different enough to be noticeable.
the wheel has no mudguard of sorts? means the gundam's gonna get his balls grinded?
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean? The Gundam is gonna have a peg up its @ss from the start anyway.
Deletehmm this will get top heavy when attached as the backpack to the gundam (2nd picture shows backpack attachment). I hope the stand could rotate at least 90 degrees so it would support the back pack weight.
ReplyDeleteLMAO that "seat" peg... it's an analcycle
ReplyDeleteReminds me of an old southpark episode: http://www.oddballdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/southpark-it.jpg
DeleteEven funnier is that both of them have one wheel
Imagine the posing possibilities one could do on an action base with one of these. In the air, down the barrel of the gun shot.
