It has never been revealed.
Nonetheless, it is sure that Ribbons is the pilot of the 0 Gundam, as Tôru Furuya is Ribbons's seiyû and the 0 Gundam is a huge cameo of the RX-78.

If Tôru Furuya had not participated in Gundam 00 (he met Seiji Mizushima by chance and then has been involved in the series), the 0 Gundam would probably have an entirely different shape.

Though this is only my supposition.

They integrated Kyrios’ Shield into Arios MA mode? :eyebrow:
Well, it doesn’t seem that practical, but I guess it could work.

I wonder if it's possible for the claws to fold back to where they originally were (in Arios' MS mode) while keeping flight in MA form?

Arios will probably look like a swallow that way. :heh:

I can see a funny image of Arios ramming enemies :heh:

But they will make that look cool in the show

Gr8! Me and my pal are just discussing about the resemblance of Arios' MA mode to Kyrios' shield. And here's a confirmation :)

Here's a review of the HG 1/144 GN-X. Though it's unpainted, I hope this helps.
HG 1/144 GN-X

Thanks, and yea I was looking for the unpainted review.

And it's even more fodder for the Transformer conspiracy theorists who claim Arios IS a shield for a giant Gundam to be revealed later on...:D:eyespin:

Oh dear God... Not that again...

Still... Doesn't strike me as a very resilent shield with as many joins, seams and more delicate components exposed.

What worries me most is that Arios itself is delicate.When the MA attack mode is used, wouldn't it be dangerous for Allelujah as the enemy unit explodes while Arios is hugging it?

No,it wouldn't be dangerous coz maybe has Arios GN field on its shield.By the way those GNX look great but the Ahead look cool, kind of remind me of Tallgeese.I hope the Thrones will be return in S2.

But then the explosion would happen within the GN field. That would make it more dangerous XD.

IMHO, the AHEAD looks like a simplified Sazabi, but that could just be because of the shield (or is it just me?:heh:)

About the Ahead,look like simplified Sazabi to me too.I bet Graham aka Masked man is the pilot.Maybe it would function like Tallgeese in Gundam Wing with it perform on par with the Gundam.(of cource if Graham or Ali pilot it)

I don't know about it,but there is a episode where Kyrios destroy a Tieren in space where it grab and stab it with shield knife.The shield look fine to me,but i guess let see how it turn out in the anime.

:(, I lost a bet. Damn.

I hope Arios get's more than just this though, it looks like he's only got the twin beam rifle and a couple of sabers. I hope he actually gets something worthy to replace the claw as an actual melee weapon in MS mode.

I sure would like to see Arios exploiting it's spiked parts(Eg. Fins on the Knees) for melee combat. Arios does have a few fins here and there, might as well make use of those to go melee....


I can't wait to see how far Hal will push Arios's limit in battle.

Hey guys what about Cherudim does it have special ability like tranforms into a turret.With those shield thing on it back who knows maybe that will happen.

Beam rifle can be folded to form short barrel submgun.
Beam pistol can form to axe type weapon.

i feel cherudim Beam pistol/axe can be integrated as a beam saber also for axe mode

i hope so too

if not then it loses weapons in a sense

Man, thats hecka cool! I hope he uses that claw to carry and fly his other Gundam friends around, that would be cool.

Calamity and Raider:heh:

Some works I recently finished and that I just wanted to share:

HGUC GP02 currently in progress ^^

SRX-00!!!! Wow! You have one!? Man, it's hard to get SRW model kits nowadays... Wish I could at least get an R-Gun.

lol, yeah, I'm also planning to get soon a Riese finally...
That SRX actually gave me some trouble. Kotobukiya models are more flimsy than your average gunpla: I broke a finger from one hand for the Hi Finger Launcher pose when I simply exchanged the hand for a fist and the spot where the handle of the sword connects to the hilt also broke... despite that it is quite detailed and you don't need to do much work on the detailing.

Gotta build that 1/100 Alteisen after my GP02 ^^

1/144 Riese has been out for quite some time, but I have been a lazy ass and still not gotten it yet >_<. After all, I still must build the 1/100 Alteisen so...
Have you guys checked out out the latest preview of the 1/144 Daizengar? Its XBOX HUEG lol

Yes! Never forget the druggies! :heh:

I still wonder how something heavily armed as Calamity can stand on the Raider. It's either Clotho flies really straight or Calamity has got magnetic feet in order to stay on for so long XD :heh:

release today

For all my early silent misgivings about the Cherudim's design early on, as always the HG kits make the Cherudim absolutely SEXY :love: :love: :love:

lol the transformer idea is funny. so im guessing that if arios is the shield and cherudim is the gun turret, then seravee is the torso with 00 as the gn drive?

haha it would be called GN-w000tihaxandpwn lol

in all seriousness though, that gn-arms type-d is something i want to get my hands on. i have the type-e and love it. cant wait.
