Premium Bandai announces expansion of their Pale Rider project with the release of the Red Rider in the High Grade Universal Century GunPla kit series! The Red Rider is a prototype mobile suit featured in the manga Mobile Suit Gundam Aggressor that officially premiered in Shōnen Sunday Super monthly magazine.
The kit comes with newly molded parts for its weapons, featuring its massive Zweihänder that can also be converted into a shield. A Prototype 100mm machine gun is also one of its unique weapons provided with entirely new mold. A ground type shield is also included in the kit that was originally taken from the HGUC 1/144 GM Ground Type.
that sword!!!!! this kit shall be mine.
ReplyDeleteThe giant beam sword is really out of place for early UC. It looks cool, but just makes the kit seem like it doesn't belong. The orange shield is kinda odd.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm not a stickler for such things but I completely agree about that sword. Too big, wrong universe, seems shoehorned in. Chalking it up to the pilot wanting something cool and leaving it at that. Still waiting on that Ver Ka announcement ...
DeleteNo its not the sword is also the shield, and it's no different than the Doms giant heat sword or the heat halberd.
DeleteWelp, time to complete my horsegundams of the apocalypse collection.
ReplyDeleteIt'll be sticker heavy as hell(it's a Rider, what'd we expect at this point?), but I just can't say no to that sword!
ReplyDeleteLet me at it!
The sword is the shield.
DeleteGBO2 has this MS in a beige/tan colour so i was surprised to see this kit was white.
ReplyDeleteSomeone on Discord told me that's cos these are the manga colours.
That's correct, the manga cors are tan and red.
Deletethat big beam saber(especially shaped beam saber) doesnt belong to early UC timeline
ReplyDeleteSays who? That's your personal opinion. The sword is also the shield. Besides it's no different from the Dom's giant heat sword (which is period correct) or the heat Halbert
DeleteThat sword is a bit smaller compared to Guy Helmut's Rick Dom Heat Saber
