Mass production only might be another good one. Maybe civilian use?

I think repurposed for civilian use is a fun one to do.

Keep in mind that it has a few flaws compared to other SOC:

It's still good, but has some of the issues you'd expect from a combiner toy.

Yeah he's a pretty fun reviewer. Goes a little overboard with memes sometimes but that's more because of his fanbase. He doesn't do a ton of gunpla reviews but he does cover plenty of model kits and high-end figures.

I've watched a couple more of his reviews now, and I agree, but also, his sense of comedic timing is flawless, and I'm already subscribed. So, if nothing else, that post did accomplish something? :confuoot:

Is there a decent Woundwort model or just the third party one? I love that suit even if it is a part of the 'endless prototype' parts of the UC I dislike.

A lot of the Titans inventory counts for this. So much of it is just weirdo experimental stuff that's bankrolled on the premise that maybe this thing will be the magic bullet that defeats AEUG but just ends up getting smashed to pieces like the one before it.

Salt Incarnate


The Gerbera Tetra, an aborted Gundam design retooled into a zeonic machine and then given to the Delaz Fleet/Cima as a way to curry favor with both side in the hope of making a quick buck. Really a lot of AE stuff probably fits, that or some late war Zeon production.

A Leo with a bunch of silly poo poo stapled to it would probably fit the bill; it was a competent workhorse suit that the effeme char cosplay character made a team of ridiculous astrology suits around. Basically taking something suitable for one role (cheap grunt suit that wont fall apart at a glance) and trying to shove it in space, in the air, in the water, as a hotrod, as a water heater, etc.

You're not wrong, however the Tallgeese is 1) one of the most inexpensive MG kits 2) really easy to build (i.e good beginner fodder) and 3) basically the Leo from the chest down. The biggest hurdle is just the head; I know there's ebay sellers offering Leo heads, but it would be better to have something easier and more reliable.

I really wish this guy was willing to mold and sell his custom head, he certainly has the casting experience for it.

If I knew I would tell you. I also hope they don't let NAOKI anywhere near it.

I mean, I hated BF when all was said and done, but if it gets us more cool poo poo like the GM/GM and that new GN-X thing then I'll quietly tolerate its existence.

Samuel Decal on Facebook, use one of those shopping services, http://www.gundammad.co.uk/home.php can order them for you as well. It'd probably be worth asking in the UK Gunpla Group as well.

At this point we need a goon who lives in Japan we can order these things through.
