thats fan-made, right...?

^ Hrrrm....I don't know how I feel about that Quanta. It looks a lot like the original design they had for Exia, which I gues is a cool nudge...but its face. Something happened to it...it's like weird now.

I kinda like the insect feet though looks ELS-ish.

I like it, but the feet... eurrrgghh

Maybe that's because the color's drained from it. no brilliant red goatee for this fellow.

I don't quite like the look of the backpack. Looks too much like plants you'd find at the bottom of the sea.

Wait. That's not the official ELS Quanta, is it?

It is indeed. :(

so wait, they are actually going to release that? =D

I doubt it. It's one of the custom kits they build for 00N that never get released.

that would be a shame, i kinda like that :P

anywho, RG aile strike boxart and photos:

The Gundam Ace image pretty much confirms the switches debated pages earlier as locking switches to maintain the GN Drive's position.

Also, more MG Gundam Epyon:

I don't remember that white part on the Strike's beam rifle...

It's a new addition for the RG version, not sure why they added it to be honest. I guess they're trying to solidify a flimsy design link between the Strike Gundam and the Freedom.

They were developed by opposing war factions; why should there be a link?

Thus is the question. Although ZAFT making the Freedom and Justice were inspired by the Strike's reputation. And then you have the Impulse... :heh:

To be honest, I kinda like the new white bit on the Rifle, makes it more complete to me.

Considering that Freedom and Justice were built off data retrieved from reverse engineering the captured Gundams, a design link between Strike and Freedom wouldn't be too far-fetched.

And MG Epyon.. *drool* Give it to me now! June is too far away, argh.

Er...well, the Freedom and Justice's rifles are already pretty similar to the Strike's Rifle anyway. But I do like the white bits

Blegh, I hope Bandai releases a non-EW version of Epyon, because this MG looks ugly. The bulkyness of the legs make it look ugly and short. A treatment similar to what they did with Impulse would have been much preferable. The fat face doesn't help either. Epyon is supposed to have a menacing triangular face like Strike Noir, not something that looks RX78 with a different helmet.

It's design is alot closer to the original than the rest of the EW versions. The bulkyness of the legs were always there

Hey guys, how big/tall are RGs?

regular 1/144 scale, so about 12 cm
