Can we agree that Bandai shouldn't have any excuse not to release a new Devil Gundam as big as this one as well? DG also deserved such treatment and love!

[@ranamores4919]

I think its coming. Gotta finish the main boyband line up first though..

[@NotAsianButFlip]

Omg lol i was thinking the same…an hg devil gundam would be an absolute unit

[@draketheduelist]

Also want a Shamblo. Especially after the Nightingale. Gimme mobile armor m[ega]-f[ir]ing zeonic dragon.

[@reijigamer]

I am surprised a HGFC Devil Gundam wasn't released around the same time as the RG God Gundam like the releases of the RG Hi-Nu Gundam and HGUC Nightingale.

[@infinphoenix13]

1000% Agreed!!

[@marcosdheleno]

what i love about the destroy gundam is that you can see the influence of the 3 original druggie gundams. it has the transformation from the forbidden, the head of the raider as well as the focus on firepower of the calamity.

[@zafranorbian757]

Alternatively, It is the Psycho Gundam with a Big Zam MA mode and the arms of a Zeong.

[@Matanumi]

It's probably EAs finest creation..... Of pure destruction. Blue Cosmos 100%

That is one huge HG kit. Imagine Penelope, XI and Nightingale was already an absolute unit in terms of MS size. This kit was like an older master grade designs.

[@samuraijackson241]

Now imagine a PG version of this. It will probably be close to the size of the neo zeong.

[@Matanumi]

.... this IS the master grade. Were only getting one destroy kit

[@NeoGato2point0]

This is like the Psycho Gundam if it transformed like the Forbidden Gundam but the alternate mode is like the Big Zam

[@marcosdheleno]

you can also see alot of influence from the original drugie trio, the head is basically the same from the raider, the transformation is from the forbidden, and the entire design basically screams calamity gundam with nuclear power. its amazing how they managed to put so much in the designm and like you said, it also feels like a homage to both the psycho gundam as well as the big zam. all in all, amazing design.

[@user-dc4vo1vz3n]

Yes

[@1983Corolla]

I mean, SEED is literally a Alternate re-telling of UC, it's fully intended to be the Psycho Gundam.

[@ilham-y5n]

This looks like if Raider, Forbidden, and Calamity Gundam had a baby. A GIANT baby.

[@Echo_419]

Shame that everyone forgets about the Big Zam...

[@marcosdheleno]

@@Echo_419 its not that people forget about it, but you cant look at it, and not see how this feels like the original druggie trio gundams made into one. its one of those things we love to see in tech based anime. stuff following a lineage. and this clearly feels like something that was developed using the trio as inspiration, but since they got the neutron jammer canceler so late, they couldnt finish the project in time. someone else mentioned that the destroy gundam, looks like both the psycho gundam, with a bigzam for an alternate form. and yeah. that's also kind of the point of this design. as seed in general was made as a take on the original series, and destiny was made to mirror zeta.

[@GoneDeathMode]

That’s basically what it is.

[@exiaedges]

The head of the Raider, has the chest weapons and back cannons like the Calamity, and Mobile Armor mode of the Forbidden and had been piloted by 2 out of the 3 who were the new successors in Destiny to the original Earth Federation Gundam antagonist trio in Seed.

[@Freedomcustom]

@@Echo_419 SEED Destiny's units were heavily inspired by the original Gundam series

[@kimarisvidarxx66]

13:26 That amount of beam effect parts can supply an entire collection of gunpla with beam sabers.

[@berrie-nice-to-meet-you]

Having never seen SEED, when a Psycho Gundam and a Big Zam love each other very much... Seriously though, wow!

[@AZurEItsPronouncedAce]

It's hilarious to me that even though Gundams were the Earth Federation's idea ZAFT makes so many more.

[@93gamrx]

Probably because EF suits relied heavily on their hidden partnership with orb. Once they turned on orb, a lot of that cooperation was likely lost. That said, if I remember right, calamity, raider, forbidden and destroy gundams were all earth federation suits pushed forward by blue cosmos. The only gundams zaft made were freedom, strike freedom, justice, infinite justice, destiny, impulse and their variants. While EF made strike + it's 3 striker packs, dual, buster, blitz, aegis, calamity, forbidden, raider, destroy. I would add astray but I think that gundam was purely an ORB suit. This info is all prior to the new movie, haven't seen it yet.

[@Jan_Iedema]

11:25 oh the master grade zeong! Definitely dated being 22(?) years old but it was such a good time putting it together and the end result just puts a smile on my face everytime i see it. Great kit

[@Leonardo-zt5tt]

The size on this thing is insane. I don't know why but I prefer this way more than the Psycho Gundam.

[@xnflg3074]

Cuz it's basically the CE version of the Psycho Gundam but has a cooler transformation!

[@adriflux7704]

This is a design I never expected to get a kit of. Absolutely majestic. And I’m such a sucker for beam effects that the stupid amount with this is genuinely a selling point.

[@ChaosUnit178]

Actually, several Perfect Grades have fingers exactly like that. I'm not sure offhand which one debuted it, but I think it was the PG Strike Freedom. For sure, the PG Exia and 00 use that finger style, where you put the middle knuckle between the other two and then cut the whole finger off the runner.
