looks like it is too heavy to even stand on its own (minus the 3 mini support stand), the mecha itself look like it gonna fall

but nice add on, what are those long white stick behind? nuke?

If u read the link, the Hyaku Shiki was supposed to be Delta Gundam, but due to technology limitations at the time, they could not build it thus the Hyaku Shiki was not transformable. The Delta Plus is simply based on the original design of the Delta Gundam, which they can make since the technology is now available. They are two different suits. The 'plus' annotation normally denotes a mass produced prototype based on a similar gundam design. I guess it should be the same as comparing Gerbera Tetra to Gerbera Gundam I suppose, but comparing the two versions of the RX-178 doesn't make sense as the AEUG MK-II is a repainted Titans MK-II. The AEUG did not build the MK-II.

If there's a glowing monoeye, this will be equally as awesome as the Iron Man/War Machine cosplay suits.



No no no... AEUG and Titans MKIIs vary only in terms of colour.

Delta Gundam and Delta Plus have pretty significant aesthetic differences. Performance-wise it's hard to tell since the Delta Gundam never made it to production.

Fuel pods.

The original Nightingale's rear skirt is so huge that it has its own leg for support. The front skirts however have nasty little arms like The-O for grabbing balls wielding beam sabres.

what a big fuel pod, if kena shot at the fuel pod then BOOM!!

in their UC world, the pilots r so great that they can purge the fuel pods b4 it explode after it's hit
jz like Sinanju when Unicorns Beam Magnum hit the fuel pods
dun apply normal human physics on Newtypes

Well it's supposed to be protected by the massive rear skirt.

Better than putting it in front of the legs like the spacetype Tieren. Horrible design.

GM Custom done ! Review coming soon...

Anyone interested to get a MISB GFF Deep Striker?

Err...found this...I thought RG Freedom was the only RG announced after the Green zaku 2?
What's with tis pic!!! It's not like I don't know that Bandai 'recycles' parts especially the inner frame (Wing series MG), oh..crap...i knew that tis kit is gonna come, sooner or later....
Damn, i need to resist gunpla-ing already....



Origin of the info/pic: Here

it is just a kitbash of RG Strike..
no official news about it yet

Review of the GM Custom:


Pros:
1. Proportions are spot on, in fact they are an improvement over the MG.
2. Tight ABS joints provide more stability yet it's not too stiff that impedes ease of posing. It's a very sturdy and well-balanced kit.
3. Kudos to Bandai for providing a modified trigger-finger palm which has an angulated male connector. Very important since the bullpup has a long body and a downward-facing ammo clip. Without it, it wouldn't be able to hold the rifle properly, let alone do the SWAT team pose in picture 3.
4. Lots of spare hands (open palms, closed fists) for dynamic poses, or you can use them with other gunpla.
5. Like the CGUE, its ankles also have a great range of movement for standing with legs wide open. Better than many Zeon units with bell-bottoms eg Doms.
6. Awesome decal sheet. Who doesn't like additional numbers and logos?
7. Bandai could have taken the easy way out by providing stickers for the red parts (shoulder thrusters, cockpit hatch), yet they provided actual red pieces.

Cons:
1. HUGE nubs. For god knows what reason this gunpla is full of thick and tough sprues that are very difficult to cut. My hobby knife is now very dull. Many of the nubs are also located at very obvious places - the worst culprits are the forearms, shoulders, and the feet. Light blue parts are fortunately easier to manage compared to dark blue (GM Quel), but they are still annoying.
2. The two small thrusters on top of the backpack are a pain in the arse. The tight area plus curved, rounded surface means it's very difficult to paint it properly without making a mess. Would have been easier had they provided two small round pieces.
3. Would have liked an additional 90mm bullpup to go with the 120mm. The MG has both, but of course it's an MG. To be fair, the HGUC GM Quel also doesn't come with the GM beam gun either unlike its MG counterpart.
4. The connector for the shield doesn't insert tight enough into the forearm holes. It's not terribly loose, but it's enough for it to wobble.
5. Only one open fist (right), which means you can't wield the sabre in the left hand. Boo. The Quel also has a trigger palm for the left hand for dual wielding action although it only comes with one rifle. Double boo.

Things to watch out for:
1. Fragile antenna. Speaking of which, it also comes with the Quel's black antenna but surprisingly the black one is too thin to fit in ! I actually wanted to use the black one.
2. The open left palm which has the movable wrist - be careful when removing it from the forearm, the moving joint detaches easily and if you use too much force it may break.
3. The stickers are VERY TINY. Hold your breath when removing them from the sheet. A little breeze and they'll be gone.

So which one to choose?
OK, the GM Custom may look very similar to the Quel, but in HGUC form they have fairly different designs in particularly the legs and the feet. The Custom's knee joints are more complicated while the ankles have additional pieces. And as mentioned above, the angulated trigger palm is a huge improvement.

The additional 100yen for the newer Custom is worth it. The Custom has the advantage of having more showtime in the OVA and being piloted by the badass Burning tai-eee, whereas the Quel only shows up briefly towards the very end. But at the end of the day, it depends on which colour you like.

Now my expectations for the upcoming Jesta is even higher
