If there's a 00R there's also a 00Q.
But for PG , it's only a matter of time.

Meh, show me HGCE Blast Impulse then we’re talking. After the not-so-impressive mold of the HGCE Freedom (especially the face), it’s a bit hard for me to get excited about HGCE line at this point.

Makes you wonder what frame they'll use for the MG FA Gundam. Maybe using the newest MG RX-78-2 Origin? But I think if they don't want to jack up the price too much, the 2.0 mold will do (like MG Red Warrior).

The funny thing is, with the arrival of RE/100 Efreet Kai, if Bandai are to release its enemies (RE/100 Blue Destiny units which based on Ground Gundam body) after it, it will actually be better than MG Ground Gundams (regardless of inner frame). But if Bandai being smart, they will make a new mold for MG Blue Destiny units first to accompany RE/100 Efreet (like how MG Hyaku Shiki accompany RE/100 Dijeh) and then trace back and re-use that mold to make 2.0 version of MG Ground Gundam & Ez-8, or vice versa. Make some of them (or all of them) into P-Bandai items and they will print money.

And speaking of RE/100-MG accompaniment, with the release of MG V2, RE/100 Rig-Contio which appeared in the line-art (along with Efreet Kai) shouldn’t be too far behind (if Bandai being serious about making it like the Efreet).

"Raise Your Flag" just took on a while new meaning. That thing reminds me greatly of the Union Flag/Overflag design...

[Obelisk ze Tormentor]

^ Wait, who's the designer of that mech? Is it Hitoshi Fukuchi?

[wavehawk]

Not sure. the official site doesn't show it yet, this is just a prototype fromt he same event where they showed off the HGCE Impulse, apparently. It's "McGills' Gundam" (working name)

ALSO: I'm going WTF is this? What are you teasing this time, Bandai? If I were to hazard a guess, this might be an RG Shining or God Gundam...


And DAT FRAME:

Wait whats wrong with the HGCE Freedom's mold and the face? I took a look and the face looks just like the RG/MG face/style. The rest of the kit is on point too with the modern proportions and a solid build (the only issue I keep hearing is the lack of a proper shield connection)


That being said, P-Bandai HGCE Blast Impulse -trollface-

Could be the Shining Gundam. Not the God Gundam; shoulder frame doesn't match up with what's seen in G-Gundam episode 27.

The thick grey cheek-pads and the big eyes (almost like G-Self) just don't jive with me.

- Probably. But then again I didn't think they could use the RG Exia's frame to build the RG 00 Gundam, and I was sorely mistaken. Most likely it'll be the Shining, but a God Gundam will probably use a slightly modified version of the frame.

And DAT FRAME:

wait, the green orb thing was meant to be the Mobile Trace System? if it were, that is big unless the reactor was integrated into the chassis.

[Rising Dragon]

Well, when you consider the acrobatics pilots need for their Mobile Fighters, wouldn't it make sense to have a wide, roomy cockpit?

also the fact they had to transfer from the Core Lander into the actual cockpit that comes with its own 'dressing room' a.k.a. Domon's uncomfortable looking suit up sequence?

[Router25]

I could almost see it.
RG build fighters hahaha

I would like to believe it's the Shining Gundam.

It's just speculation, but how the chest vents and the overall layout really screams Shining Gundam to me:

[Bonta Kun]

In HK atm and I had decided I wouldn't get any gunpla while I was here but after seeing a PG Unicorn on display I'm mighty tempted to get one now>_<

It really is worse going into a shop to have a look at whats in stock rather than just on a website, the temptation is insane....

The chest vents look more like God Gundam's actually:

[Chibiloli]

Yeah, this is kinda killing me, I've been looking for a picture of the Gjallahorn Mobile Worker kit, can anybody here link me a pic?

[Ryuuoh DeltaPlus]

@LoweGear Oh yeah I stand corrected

Well, at least they're giving G Gundam some love (hopefully)

Cant argue on the grey cheek parts though I dont personally mind them. But the big eyes are definitely due to the stickers. the actual molded eyes are much smaller
