It does seem to have multiple shades of white/grey for the armor. But the only part take stands out to me is the front skirt armor

That sure looks sharp. I'm really curious what other suits they'll make into a RG.

As for all the Wing MGs coming out lately, I like how Wing gets some more attention, but I wasn't really waiting on MGs of the Ver. Ka.'s of the first suits. I get that it's easy for bandai because they can use the runners again for the "part 2" suits, but still, I'd rather have the tv versions.

I'm also wondering if this means we'll have to wait another +- 12 years before they start chugging out AD MGs. Hopefully then it won't be a Ver. Ka. although I am slightly curious to see what Katoki'll do with the AD gundams.

Looks pretty sharp. I hope it will hold the Weapons better than the RX-78-2, though. The pegs on my RX-78-2 are pretty bad, but maybe that's just mine.

This confirms that it can transform. But I kinda wish Katoki made the MA mode look different. I don't know what to feel about the mouths on the feet ~_~
At least the shield looks cool.

Is it just me or does the feet open up to reveal a dragon-like mouth?

It does. I doubt there's a practical reason for the new modification but it looks cool.

I'm most likely getting MG Epyon (1/144 was my first gunpla ever), but I was kind of hoping that they would do some sort of mechanism for the hands when transforming into MA mode. I hate the idea of having to yank off the hands to transform it.

Haven't posted here in ages, but thought this might be of some interest to you guys.

MG Optimus Prime? Prime is twice the size (and price) of Bee. Both have an inner frame as well.

LoweGear

2011-03-26 23:55

It's not MG, it's just a "Dual Model Kit", which features two designs in a single set.

StratoSpear

2011-03-27 00:43

Holy shit, if you have any details or links about that Dual Model Kit(s), might PM-ing me the details+links(if there's any)?

I'd say post here, but this is a Gundam Models thread so it might not be appropriate :3

^ 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

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

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

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.

DarkWarrior

2011-03-30 11:38

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.

LightMaster

2011-03-30 23:37

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

justsomeguy

2011-03-31 16:51

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.

~Destiny~

2011-03-31 21:22

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