[@androyus]

The pilot of this Buster Gundam, Dearka Elthman, is also a cool guy and has a nice character arc & development in the show 👍.

[@kevsthebadboy1703]

True! From arrogant racist to a respected co-fighter.

[@manuelito1233]

Ya, for that, he's my favorite, and as basic his mech is compared to the rest, it lasted for so long.

[@ernestorio3550]

@@ArcheTelos we all do, but remember Dearka got demoted to green uniform maybe because he once had Betrayed ZAFT like Athrun (which means he's no longer the same rank as Shinn let's say) and Yzack only got the commander role because of Durandal's move (remember he had shoot a civilian ship..... Even if he didn't know). But at least those 2 are still whoopin Gundams even if they now use more customized non Gundams like the Gunner Zaku and Zaku Phantom

[@SeanyBoy589]

I wish they kinda expanded on him a bit more in the show but you're right, he was a cocky coordinator thinking he was superior until actually getting his eyes opened to natural who just lost her loved one and realising not all are racist fucks.

[@SoulstrikerV]

I agree about Dearka. And Yzak was a much bigger jerk at the start, even to his own allies. Until that time when he saw his fellow soldiers having fun killing defenseless Naturals. That really tore through his heart. His mouth is still kinda toxic, though.

[@maricelapineda5991]

Make a custom mg from seed kits

[@sourishsaha6660]

Yes pls

[@androyus]

Maybe Gaikotsu can make a Strike Freedom that is literally a kitbash from Strike Gundam & Freedom Gundam 😀.

[@butthurts3546]

It'll never happen... Basic B syndrome.

[@harryprasetyo9237]

let's admit it, we all love any gundam that had massive, awesome-looking long/close range weapon case in point: this, heavyarms, wing zero, barbatos

[@shadowfang269]

In the words of Johnson from Halo “For a brink, he flew pretty good”

[@kamenmaximus]

When I joined the Corps, we didn't have any fancy-shmancy gundam frames. We had balls! Two balls, and a gm for the whole colony - and we had to share the gm! Buck up, boy, you're one very lucky pilot!"

[@thebrickdestroyer]

Paint that him red and blue, then it totally looks like the Gundam version of Optimus Prime

[@potdyengyt2950]

Facts

[@fused481]

That may be the reason why some news sources called the 1/1 scale a transformer

[@GojiraFan-in9oo]

The buster looks nothing like Optimus Prime

[@androyus]

I don't see the resemblance much.

[@thatmotivatedchris6749]

Switch the head for victory hexa then maybe he'll look more like prime

[@whatisnot1926]

8:16 “So once again flipping this from one side to the other side is a little bit on the difficult side ...” Very creative of you, Mecha G

[@moperzzz]

Me and my MG Buster are just vibin', amazing review as always Mecha!

[@gunpla_sk8]

Also just built this it's so good for retail of $45 daaaaaaaamn its solid

[@CharloBagis]

I'm currently building this, waiting for the weather to clear to continue painting, excellent kit so far. Thanks for the review Mecha, and Happy Holidays to Everyone!

[@Synastershadow]

I've built the high grade back in the day, and even that kit was one of my favorites. I love his guns and how they pivot around the waist and can connect into each other! I'm right there with you on that being my favorite gimmick of this suit

[@TheSickening1]

You did it again! I just bought this kit as my first MG for around 49 dollars american, which is great because I live in Brazil and hobby stuff tends to be around double the original price. Thanks for the reviews! I got all my Gunpla after watching your videos! Now I'll wait for the shipment

[@Hikariinu124]

Coming at you in 2022 and I picked this up as my first master grade kit. The gun being so huge is what sold me on it. I love that you can do it in long range rifle and heavy armor piercing shotgun configs!

[@jesussalazar1179]

I've never been a big fan of seed, but there Gundams are really amazing suits mobile design and fun to watch. Can you do a review of the MG Gundam Epyon and comparison with Wing Zero Ver. ka?

[@XaadeTheBlade]

Epyon is ok. It has good articulation, but it's easy to snap the claws when building, so I'd recommend being extra careful at that part. The calf sports an extra joint so you can get more articulation in dragon form. The wings have a small transform gimmick, but are heavy and the connection joint is weaker than it should be, which means it's prone to sagging, so you'll need to tighten that up. The stickers show up a little too much on those dark colors, so I went a different route and painted the vertical stripes a gold trim. The feet open up as mouths and there are teeth designs on the inside, but they're not color separated. Other than the wings, it all holds up really well though.

[@LoreDrake]

So awesome to see a review of easily my favorite Seed Kit Will definitely be picking up the Buster over Christmas

[@hristiyantodorov5364]

I recently got this kit and it is also my first mg. So fricking solid. I sadly dropped it the other day from my desk and broke the one gun so now i need to fix it. So sad, but only that one part broke and it dropped a fair distance. Crazy sturdy. Love this gundam and would totally recommend getting it. great review as always. keep it up.

[@pain-sj9qo]

Bro I was literally thinking about getting this the past couple of days and you make this. Great video!

[@colbyg1719]

I built some of the mg seed kits so I watched the show and it’s hard to get into but over time the plot thickens and it gets better

[@Nomad_Bal]

Dude! I'm just building this kit right now! I have it on my desk waiting to be panel lined, and I bought some water decals for it. It looks fantastic, the colors and the proportions are just top.

[@Lastlineshow]

I’ve only built a few kits but this was my first intro into MG and it is by far my favorite kit.

[@Gunrunner805]

Well its great to see this video! I love this kit.I had fun building it and posing it. If you are a Gunpla fan go get this kit its great!

[@bidellyboy558]

Letsss gooo, I've been waiting for a mecha gaikotsu review of this kit for so long. I got it for Christmas so this is epic

[@iloveu3_0000]

finally you make this buster gundam! when I watched your duel gundam I was waiting for this gundam!

[@GojiraFan-in9oo]

In Gundam Wing terms Wing-> Strike Deathscythe-> Blitz Heavyarms-> Buster Shenlong-> Aegis Sandrock-> Dual

[@BornToPeeForcedToDrinkIt]

Literally just bought both this and the MG Duel Gundam. Was planning on starting this build tonight, even, so this is perfect timing!

[@androyus]

You might want to prepare a cement or glue for Duel's front skirt. Just a heads up.

[@DX16]

@@androyus For the assault shroud armor part ? Not sure of that cause if you want to take it back later it will be difficult if glued.

[@daltonwilliams1723]

Be careful with the cannon attachment parts for the buster. I broke one of them when building it

[@grease734]

I think the best way is to remove the peg in the holding hand with a file, the arms in the side skirts are strong enough to hold up the weapons

[@rockmanex7506]

i remember having the HG variant when i was still a 6 yr. old kid, I'd parade it in my class and remember making my classmates jelous xD now I'm 24yrs Old and still trying to find the extra cash to buy it again.

[@presbytero]

I am glad that I just ordered this and it’s coming in next week so I appreciate this review

[@jamescarlo2]

I just built this and I totally agree with your review. Really solid kit and I am an instant fan of that gun gimmick. Out of all the Seed kits, this one is closest to a UC kit in my opinion. So this fits perfectly with my UC collection.

[@Rakolai]

When it comes to having the hands hold onto the handles, I find that it's a lot easier to just place the holding fingers around the handle and let them sit there without slotting the pegs in. It still holds up pretty well since the support arms for the guns do a great job of supporting their weight by themselves.

[@horizonbuilds643]

We waited so long for this! Finally

[@hyunwookang2091]

Mechagaikotsu i always watched your Videos and how ironic that you just did a review on Buster Gundam which i just finished building like last month. Its the last kit ive been looking for to and finally i did finished my Seed Gundam Collections..:) seed kits are definitely one of my favorite to collect and also Double O just waiting for Mg virtue

[@bigmoneycollector5136]

My all time favorite design. Also was my first master grade to build.

[@draketheduelist]

Literally my first ever master grade, and about my third (non-wargaming) kit in total. Haven't been building for *that* long. Looks like I chose well.

[@cyeru9427]

This was a surprise for me how good it was. It was an impulse buy cause it was on clearance at my local shop and I love it!

[@xainte13]

Legitimately about to buy this kit, it's been in my Amazon cart for a month

[@paolowilson00091]

I'm just about done with my MG Dynames. And I'm loving it! I bet the buster would look good standing next to the Dynames

[@karlguarin808]

I just finished building this kit and i love it so much!

[@genosabre6661]

The best part about the MG Buster: The legs.

[@ShaffCloud81]

I have this in my back log along with a dual gundam, I can't wait to make time to make them both! I paint my builds but I keep og colours.

[@derekberry6122]

I hope you are keeping a list of what Gunpla you have and haven't reviewed. Love to see how many you have left to do. Maybe a poll of which one to do next? Just to see which ones the fans like to see. Patrons only thou, just so you don't get over loaded.

[@mlpc69]

More throwback reviews from you sir,thanks for these...😁

[@hilmanprasetya8936]

The long awaited review is finally here!!!

[@EDWARD6661989]

Mecha, if only I could show you my Buster Gundam. I put so much love into it.

[@ineon_playz9964]

How are you somehow doing a review a day. Legit this is scaring me, you pumping out videos like a going gun. Either way, I am super impressed, and I hope you are not pushing yourself too much!

[@AstreaGT]

Was thinking the same thing. Hope he doesn't burn himself out lol.

[@NeonZaku]

This was my first ever Master Grade, to this day it's still one of the best most enjoyable kits I've built

[@ahnafahmad5454]

Does it hold up?

[@fruitypebs1868]

Same

[@primustheprotogen3169]

According to Gaikotsu, he had the kit since it's release, and it is still intact

[@-MastersTV-]

Hi I am a big fan u know u are the reason I started building gundams

[@jaissenjairusaceret7036]

I love your videos! mecha gakotsu!

[@isaacjamestea9652]

ONe of my favorites too!!!! Hope they release a metal build of this

[@arcanys0092]

Nice Review as always!

[@marcusl8602]

Recently built this one, my first 1/100 in quite a while, very enjoyable for the $40 I spent on him.

[@malachimusclerat]

i'm in the middle of building these same two kits, they just complement each other so well i had to build the inner frames together first

[@SolidFoxHoundSF]

This and the Turn-A MG are some of my all time favorite kits.

[@baddubs2826]

Not only is this one of the best color schemes for a design ever, but also one of the coolestlong range weapons aswell als long range suits but also the best size comparisent on the channel.

[@ThePrimeShadow]

That’s also one of my top Seed favorites as a ground type and I have it on my Display Shelf!

[@videopolice432]

Got mine last year, love it to bits.

[@lucaseichler3140]

Oh yeah, sharpies work wonders. I used 'em to give colour to the eyes of the tallgeese, and it looks fantastic. Also use a silver sharpie for reflections behind parts and for heat hawks.

[@ClemPrime13]

Would sharpies do good for cameras instead of the stickers?

[@lucaseichler3140]

@@ClemPrime13 really depends on the look you're going for. If you want a metallic shimmer, either use the stickers or follow the paint index. But if you want the crystalline look of clear parts, a sharpie is a fantastic solution. Plus, there's no way to get an uneven coat like with clear paint.

[@futurescholar25]

I had gotten this as my first mg cause of your vid "top 5 best mg for beginners" its funny how you called it a brick, but for me, mine was a grenade when trying to pose him with cannons on his hip. Granted it was my first mg so i probably didnt do a good job. Will probably go back and fix him up one day

[@rockybordero6073]

this is my first MG kit. and still one of my favorites!

[@JonathanMartinez-ei4up]

I’ve wanted to customize this buster gundam into a Ghost Buster Gundam. The beam guns and pack would be a proton pack, and the shoulder launchers would be duel ghost traps. I like the idea of painting the rockets inside as green slimmer ghost missiles.

[@maksoel9179]

I have the same Gundam figurine , and I can say it's rock solid.

[@SeanyBoy589]

Buster has to be my fave GAT series suit from gundam seed, and the mg looks phenomenal, best mg from the RM series for me

[@spartanramza3107]

I can confirm that using sharpie looks pretty good on clear parts i did that to my hg exia repair 2 and the condenser looks as good as the one on the mg

[@30--50FeralHogs]

My first of 30ish gunpla and its still one of my favorite, can't recommend it enough for first time builders.

[@pretzel1313]

This is a great Christmas present! I really want one of these kits. P.S. Would you mind doing a review of the MG Blitz and a redo of the MG Aegis review since it's so old?

[@kkwong9190]

Really good model. Just built one for a competition and for the first time managed to get a podium finish☺

[@DJPrimeAmvs]

Buster Gundam is my fave out of the ones in seed mainly because it looks the most realistic and consistent, besides the Duel or course.

[@Unfirst.]

I agree. this Gundam not only has the beauty, but the element of surprise

[@semlinthorst3885]

At first it looked a bit plain, but I dunno now. Definitely going to check it out

[@kdpabilonia4646]

I remember jabman025 clipping those "teeth" inside the weapon-holding hands as it hamper instead of helping things for the cannons

[@desshinta9428]

Buster's one of my fav's as well from Seed. While it's not going to Dominate the battlefield like the Freedom/Justice/Destiny lines, It remains hyper-competent in its artillery role. Only way to go better is the verde buster...which I'm surprised has NOT been a P-bandai kit. I love the Seed designs, and I'm glad they Did the Remaster MG line.

[@vlogvista232]

Pls add more detail to your videos Especialy for the up coming pg unleashed and rg zeong I love your rg nu gundam review it s the best review ever for me

[@DX16]

The best would be putting the videos in 4k

[@daniel_gallardo808]

Love this bad boy. Was my first MG.

[@Gawain512]

I want this kit I built the duel and strike rouge mg and they hold up great

[@snukastyle]

If only they'd make a MG of the Verde Buster. Just love the custom armor that version has.

[@adm1nistration]

love how you used the rx for comparison lol

[@wakaneut]

I love these older kit reviews. Do some older PGs, please.

[@connorkahui-chee3206]

I just realised that all the 4 stolen gundams all look very similar in one way or the other of the strike, I like that, I like that alot

[@anluonghong8168]

Well, that’s because all 5 gundams are manufactured by the Earth force. Feel bad to have 4/5 gundams stolen. 😅

[@soiyavnz]

Well a bit yes. The Strike Launcher looks same with Buster and Duel with the base Strike considering it was the base model for the 4 of them. Other than that the other striker packs are unique on their own.

[@androyus]

Blitz & Aegis look drastically different from the rest though, especially in the anime. Bandai tried to retcon MG Blitz by remolding the shoulders more like Strike's shoulders. Thank god I have both the NG & MG Blitz. The old NG is still irreplacable for its anime-accuracy.

[@UselessFox224]

2:51 Mecha, did you just call 'Main Cannon' to the main camera? '-'

[@mikazuki-kun5865]

I remember watching gundam seed last november and when I saw the buster gundam I was like I need to get this in master grade..

[@kirbybooten159]

The ankle joints don’t old up with the guns out on both hips. Deff need a action base. Other that that, this kit is the bomb

[@wendanuridahissan6721]

Whoa you really upload everyday

[@Gabosamu]

That´s one kit I did enjoyed a lot building!!!

[@raykevinbaltazar8084]

Even the back view looks badass.

[@arielrico8891]

I've based my purchase by your review. could you review also the mg blitz. As always nice review.

[@ommommo]

this is my all time favorite gunpla

[@CsStrez]

Duel and Buster are the best looking SEED Gundams. If I can't find a Type D Jegan, they'll be my first MGs. The OG 5 + Justice and Providence are great designs.

[@muaz910]

My fav gundam all the time in my life so obbess with buster gundam XD even in most gundam game i always using this gundam so excited 🥰🥰🥰

[@reiji647]

Im so excited to get one...

[@adimasguntur]

Yesss, i love that kit sooo much too

[@josefbajarias3109]

I wanna see a kitbash of heavyarms with buster and dynames, maybe add flauros to the mess

[@Azhan.J777]

One of my favorite kits

[@kangtravelan8421]

Ok , i'll be waiting for the blitz 😁

[@namlongpham8066]

I would love to recreate the "Duel Buster Combination Attack" which shot down the Raider in the last episode of Seed

[@hypershock0storm479]

That would be badass.

[@ernestorio3550]

I could already hear angry Yzak noises from this plan haha

[@DX16]

If you want it to be picture perfect, it will need a lot of work.

[@KevinGomez666]

this kit is one of my favorites in my collection. the head reminds me of a kamen rider.

[@windows6k603]

Seed is soooo good, its slow at first but picks up when kira starts hitting his stride

[@rodenfajardo9271]

Yeah! One of my favorite also💪

[@nismo76]

def my favorite seed kit

[@jetset102]

My dream is a Strike Noir 2.0 🥲

[@KasperAura]

It's one of those kits (like the MG Gundam X) of which you can throw at the wall and have it stay together lol

[@djskueakrz3107]

I literally just finished building mine just before this came out
