It's a shame though. The Delta Plus was supposed to be based on the Delta Gundam (the original idea for Hyaku Shiki). I can see why the Rezel would copy the transformation of the Zeta as it was based on it. The Delta + however should be based on the Delta Gundam, which I feel should have had a different transformation from Zeta since it was technically a different gundam. In war terms of course it's most realistic and economical to build on the best working design you have. But in terms of mecha designers, it was not creative.
Zeta's transformation is slightly different to Delta/Delta+ and Rezel.
Delta transforms with its legs folded down and skirt armours twisted upwards and facing back. Zeta's legs go up while skirt armours face forward and can be used as beam cannons, which is indeed the case in the Z Plus variants.
Rezel's transformation is more similar to the Delta's, although it is supposed to originate from the Methuss. The legs fold 180 degrees like the Methuss, yet the arms/shoulders rotate inwards like the Zeta/Delta.
The Methuss's shoulders join together with the leg thrusters while the entire forearm is hidden in the legs.
All similar, yet different and unique in their own ways.

What wrong this ? It look so cool for me.
Watch this review and you'll see why Raider doesn't only look bad, the quality of the gunpla is also shabby.
Raider is the most impractical EA gundam ever. Half of its weapons can't be used in MS mode so what's the point of turning into a robot?
It's a glorified, transforming Dodai. That's all it is.

Yes, ur right, the transformation of the Rezel is similar to the Methuss (both of them even have the crotch hook). The directions the skirt armours and legs face are different yes, but why do all the suits have to drop their head into their chest and flip out the cockpit? Was there no other way to transform (although the Rezel transforms slightly differently I think)
guys, you know which shop has the best variety of hguc gundams? Wanna go and take a look for the price of HGUC Unicorn ( unicorn and destroy mode. ), hazel, gaplant, the-O and kshatriya.

Lolz a piece of crap! I also have one, its was very shabby and fragile. It very suck. But somehow I like the it.... the dark colour, the MA mode, and the claw remind me of Wing gundam....

i tolerate MS/MA with head facing downwards in MA but raider design is ugly with its head expose alot
So he can see where he going when he was flying. We can't see when our head was cover right ?
