For anyone who is confused about the tiering system -Brown Tier: Shitty Kit (The worst) -Bronze Tier: Bad Kit (Worse Than Average but not as bad as Brown Tier) -Silver Tier: Plain Average -Gold Tier: Greater than average (is better than Silver ) -Platinum Tier: Between The Gundarium and gold (Greater than Gold but not Really Revolutionary) -Gundarium Tier: The best and is has revolutionary shit with it (it is different from the other grades and feels like something nonexistent)

[@Rupix15]

i think the anime called the material Gundanium but Gundarium sounds as cool so yeah. (i might be wrong btw)

[@taru_the_ameoba]

Feel like there should be a Devil Tier where its bascially so much worse than Brown Tier lol

I’m glad the RG line has turned into miniature master grades. I was really worried about it having a core fighter and it effecting the kit negatively. Loved the review.

I watched one of your really old videos, I noticed that you improved so much!! This is a great review for a great kit

[@chasinthroughthedecade]

RG Strike: "Who are you?" RG Impulse: "I'm you, but better in every way." I suppose Bandai just needs a few more tweaks and they'll be ready to make RG Double Zeta, Victory, and V2; maybe even AGE-2 and AGE-3, if they decided to give a hell about AGE at all. As for non-transforming ones with big backpacks, I'd say X and especially Double X; maybe even the Full Armor Gundam Thunderbolt ver. (of course, provided they make an all-new frame for it; which will then eventually lead to RG 2.0 RX-78-2)

[@dikaazipratama7516]

Agreed for RG Double ZZ

[@Hangryman9038]

I just started getting into RGs. I haven't really much been into the 1/144 scale as they're just so tiny to me, and the first one I did was the rg crossbone and that head build gave me nightmares. But I decided to try again and this kit had thus far been a pleasure to build.

[@BLITZKRIEG209]

Nice Review!! Really love how you look at the minute details that brings more depth to the kit and to the review. Unlike others where it is just dull and plain, and just looks at the entirity. Putting this on my wish list.

[@Titicu1]

I discovered your videos two weeks ago and all I can say is I want more x)) Amazing video! You're making me wandering if I could model build again x)

[@santetzuken8903]

I love how real grades are the cause for changing the rating scales. Shows how special they really are.

[@JonoSSD]

As someone who owns a Gundam Impulse (MG Sword Impulse), this RG feels a lot better. Detail, articulation, build. Even though I was careful assembling mine and never broke any parts before or since, my Impulse needed glue in some parts. Shows you what 10+ years in improvements can do.

[@carminegiustiniani4868]

I fell in love with this kit when I saw it months ago, but now that I've watched your wonderful review I can only say I want it right now! Here in Italy I think it'll come in about two months (even if I hope it'll come before) and this thought makes me sad! Thank you Mecha Gaikotsu for this review that is even better than the previous ones! Have a nice day and stay safe! See you next time!

[@akuma_mx5]

Just recently bought my third Gundam kit this week and it'll be my first 1/100 MG NT-1 Alex 2.0(also saw this from your review on it) from Hobby Link Japan, thank you for providing these videos and also because of this video I want to to buy this RG Force Impulse kit on my upcoming first check of returning to work thankfully 🙏😂

[@Panda_man..]

@@theweedeater1842i really like the stardust memory MS designs, its too bad they were released when RG’s still used the premolded inner frame

[@hijous]

rg 2.0 is possible now with rx78 2.0 announced

[@kelnhide]

I hate the SEED series, but I love the mecha design there. Now they should rerelease early RG as 2.0 kits with the updated inner frames

[@vawx-]

The mecha design of SEED are superb, I really hope they make Destiny 2.0 and the light wings.

Agree on that. Shame Bandai didn't apply this new "Mini MG" style construction when they released the RG Perfect Strike.

[@PaszerDye]

Hey Mecha, just a suggestion. You could make quick fire videos in multiple parts that rank every one of the kits you have so far, like 3-5 seconds per kit. That would be great to watch, and a great way to catalogue/re-deliberate all your rankings up to now.

[@Julian-nu4bx]

PaszerDye this would be cool to see, I’ve personally been wanting to see how Mecha would rank the kits from his older videos pre-ranking system

[@dangerboyproductions9805]

It’s a great idea especially for the people who are looking to buy a kit and narrow down a selection
