1099 - MG GM Cannon (OOB Review)

Here's the Master-Grade 1/100 scale GM Cannon. As an expensive P-Bandai kit, it doesn't have a lot of exterior detail, but it has cool weapon options and that classic retro look! Overall a cool kit if you can get one!

To each their own I say. I absolutely love the GM head's design. Sure there are GMs with more fancy heads like the GM Kai, GM Custom, GM Sniper II, etc. but there's something I like about the simpleness of the original GM. ...Or the GM Cannon in this case!

[@jaamfan2516]

Tomino DID direct Ideon after all

[@TheMattTrakker]

I think you nailed it when you kinda said this design would look cool, but off if it had a lot of detail. I"m generally a fan of the detailed kit, but I also have a soft spot for these tube kits for some reason. They actually contrast pretty well in a display, too.

[@JangoTheBlueFox]

the RX-78 2.0 inner frame was designed so that you could have the torso and waist together without the core fighter/block inside and as a result of not having it in the torso you'd get more waist articulation.

[@jiminboo]

Dat retro design 😍

[@DarrenC_1024]

It may look retro at the outside (in a good way), but the real amazing part is the inner frame. I compared the GM 1.0 and the 2.0 (which this kit is based on) based on some images I found on the internet, the 1.0 have very cool outside, like a more modern look, panel line, details and all and in the end I decided to take the 2.0, solely because of the highly detailed inner frame (which is, based on the RX-78-2 2.0), and the retro look really suits the grunt unit role of the GM. I think I'm starting to become a GM lover, with already owning a GM Sniper and GM Ground Type, and soon will be getting the GM 2.0, GM Quel and the GM Sniper II.

[@TheOborune]

love the colours. very nice kit

[@retiredfromyoutubehehe]

Man this thing looks fantastic out of the box... makes me want to get it lol.

[@aniplamo5038]

The entire time of this review, kept telling myself the "let me tell you why thats bullshit" GM cannon meme. Lel, I want to get this kit, nice review as always.

[@Tombstonecross]

I love that old school design

[@igetoys]

I like the design, so sleek... :)

[@VectorSigma2]

If the GM Cannon had the power of the Ide, the Federation wouldn't need the Gundam lol. Also, I was thinking about getting the new version of this kit as my first P-Bandai kit, depending on how much it ends up being.

[@jonspectre1103]

I want to scratch build an ideon someday

[@spectator492]

Jon Yusko this pop out of my head since the first time Ive seen the Ideon

[@dol_mel7487]

Jon Yusko eh theres a SOC ideon although it would take forever to scratchbuild something of that kind especially if tou want it to transform

[@xblackkidx]

great!!!!! very cool 👌👌

[@fantastiCkiLler92]

Ideon in our community we call it the king of GM XD Well, it designed by Okawara Kunio and the anime was directed by Tomino anyways~

[@cissuperdroid]

You wouldn't happen to have the 1/100 Gaelio's Schwalbe Graze in your backlog, would you?

[@ZakuAurelius]

no

[@alvarodiogolopessousa5911]

how many died in those during Thunderbolt ?

[@skuffle5309]

The head may not be able to look down, but at least the angle possibilities of the head match the canon....

[@fishpop]

Ideon. The legs remind me of the Guncannon.

[@arcanecyan8846]

The colors remind me of McDonald's

[@suyo3380]

I wish they made the head looked like the Origin manga version (it would look like the GM Kai).

[@dol_mel7487]

Sushiyoda thats not the same design though that would be an origin version then

[@suyo3380]

I meant standard GM head.

[@RafeLaet]

I guess the Bazooka plugs on the Shield holes rs

[@ZetaMAGES]

It’s a little thing, but it’s Jim, not G-M. I know it’s weird, but just a pet peeve of mine

[@m.ppanca5057]

HG or even MG, why they always not included balzac 380mm bazooka...

[@wyattarthur5275]

Yeah MINE IS LIKE THAT TO! The Torso and Waist just don't connect why is beyond me we all put it together right... I think if you push it down more nothing happens

[@ZakuAurelius]

strange....

[@cissuperdroid]

So I guess it would be advisable to glue the waist, then? I'm re-watching this review to get familiar with any potential issues before I decide to grab the North American Front Ver. for my birthday.

[@ZakuAurelius]

you probably don't need to glue that unless you plan on changing pose often or posing it in a pretty extreme pose.

[@cissuperdroid]

Oh, really? I do change poses often (fiddle around like an action figure), so I was curious as to how fragile it is with some average handling. If it's not that bad, I suppose I'll just leave it alone for the "gimmick" of the core block separation.

[@POWERPRIME01]

Hopping for a HG

[@supergeno128ds]

Hopping AND hoping for an HG as well! We need the White Dingo variant too!

[@OuroborosChoked]

I love giant robots with bellbottoms.

[@e.hellbrand9707]

they need a HG the origin ground type GM cannon. or HGUC

[@asadler43]

[@NAM-en8cy]

That's the hyper bazooka of the MG RX78-2 3.0 lol

[@ZakuAurelius]

The 3.0 uses the same bazooka of the 2.0

[@arcanecyan8846]

It looks like a McDonald's employee
