Couldn’t get the Kshatriya out of my mind after watching Episode 1 of the Gundam UC Ova. That first scene where the Kshatriya was seen fighting with some mobile suits was Epic in my book.
High Grade
The RGM-89S Stark Jegan from the Gundam Unicorn OVA that is all the rave right now. This design looks plain in my eyes but it looks really good being chopped up by Marida Cruz with her Kshatriya *snicker*. The Stark Jegan is one of the mobile suits of the Federation forces.
The AMS-129 Geara Zulu from Gundam Unicorn. This is the mass production (cannon fodder) mobile suit of the Neo Zeon faction that will undoubtedly look good being blown up by the Gundam Unicorn *snicker*.
Took stock of the model kit color guides that have been translated to English from the original posted at the construction manual. Found out that there’s a lot there already. Decided to create a list for easier look up. Will update this page periodically whenever a new model kit’s color guide gets translated to English.
Gundam Unicorn based mecha are coming out of the wood works thanks to the upcoming Gundam Unicorn movie that’s scheduled this year. One of the mecha being churned out by Bandai is the High Grade RGZ-95 ReZEL of the EFSF. This is the regular cannon fodder version, there is supposed to be a command version coming out soon. From my understanding is that this unit was born out of the desire to mass produce the Zeta Gundam. It was based out of the Methuss’ frame, hence its ability to transform to aircraft mode.
Update (03/09/2010): Construction Manual of the Kshatriya was translated to English here.
I initially didn’t like the design of the Kshatriya from the Gundam Unicorn Movie but eventually the design did grow on me. Enough that I hit the “Google” and researched this mobile suit. The Kshatriya belongs to the Neo Zeon faction in Gundam Unicorn and is piloted by Marida Cruz.
This mobile suit is on my want-to-have list of model kits. The MS-18E Kampfer from the Gundam OVA War in a Pocket. And like its German sounding name, it definitely sports a world war II German military motif. Yep, those potato mashers on the side of the knees sure raises that impression on me.
During Gundam’s 30th anniversary, there was a tie up of the Gundam franchise with the 7-11 store franchise and one of the things that came out of that was a limited edition HG RX-78-2 Gundam in 7-11 Colors. Below is the translated color guide for the 7-11 Gundam.
