Yeah, it isn't a prototype; it is the MSD incarnation of the mass-production model of the GM Cannon (Space Assault Type) from MSV-R! Note the extra calf thrusters for the purpose (if it was a prototype or ground-use version, it would have the heavier leg armor instead).
PHEW yes, it has the extra calf verniers for the Space Assault Type. It's not a prototype, this is from MSV-R. Glad the legs weren't so slim just for MSD's sake...
These GMs will serve my purposes well enough even if they're technically not the correct versions. (IOW; Like the Zaku Cannon, they're not HGUCs but are from HG Origin instead)
I think that might be Bandai's plan all along. The GM Cannon actually does exist in the Origin manga- but has a pretty different design from this (basically being an Origin GM with shoulder cannons)
Come to think about it, the Origin GM is pretty different too- its head design is very different from the "classic" GM with a goatee and unique flairs, a different shield, and using the same unique beam rifle from the Origin Gundam.
Just to clarify, this isn't the same GM Cannon that was should at the pop-up event, this is a variant of a variant per say. There still will be a regular release one but it would be the one without the caff thrusters and Vulcans. But it's funny how the p-Bandai has a price and release date first before the regular release.

Huh. I don't recall the prototype model having vulcans. Ah well, at least the artwork is cool!

Deletebecause people on Earth are weighed down by gravity lol
I meant the the prototype for the MODEL KIT. If you go back to when they were showing them off, it didn't have vulcans.

ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the original GM kit soon!

DeleteI'll buy this regardless the decision
ReplyDeleteSame here. I've been waiting a long time to add more GM's to my shelf!

ReplyDeleteWhat makes you think there will be a regular release?
