HG Gundam Harute Final Battle Ver. Review | MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM 00

[@corvus9359]

When you think about it, the Harute probably has the most ideal mobile suit design. Highly maneuverable, decent durability, powerful melee and ranged weapons, missiles, dual seat cockpit, transforms into a high speed alternate mode, remote weapons, overdrive system, operable in space and in atmosphere, and doesn’t rely on a limited fuel supply.

iono if i agree with you on any level... especially considering how each of the universes/anime series treat their wars double 00 has mystical power science, the engine to drive this thing is essentially a magical device... the original gundams in UC were replacements for tanks, their engines themselves are kinda unrealistic, but they are far more grounded. i just kinda want to know how this one gundam with impossible specs and is run by black magic voodoo is supposed to be best gundam design? and you avoided aethestics and went into capabilities.... here let me beat your idea, next gundam is a god and can do anything cause reasons......

[@d34th5back]

@@vissermatt1058 Dude... Chill. Yes, it's hard to compare newer Gundam to older ones, considering most new Gundam are more like Super Robots. But he's right, it's a high performance suit with an interesting design and is probably one of the stronger Gundam out there. No need to come out swinging, just say you're not a fan of the newer series or MS designs. Plus, I think we've seen plenty of "godly" Gundam over the years, what's your point

[@vissermatt1058]

@@d34th5back read his comment, then read mine. i dont feel like your comment has any place in reality. dude literally brags its the "most ideal suit design". what the fuck? then goes on to list everything the thing has.... im not sure what you or anyone expects. but if you just dream up your bestest ever design, good for you.... )) has literal magical devices powering their garbage, the only dfference between harute and EVERY SINGLE BASIC mecha in 00 is its got plot protection and a magical energy source... why did the OP make his comment then?

Imagine a MG version of this. It would be a hell of a kit with sick Mobile Armor aspect and crazy accessories with the complete GN scissor bits

I'm still hoping they keep on going with the MG line, and yes that also includes this suit!

[@jonathanh.2483]

Harute was one of my favorite designs, I just wish they’d redesign the kit because it’s just OK from what I can tell. At least it looks WAY better than OK.

Before Bandai released this, there's a bootleg version of Final Battle Battle Harute/Marute from Hobby Star brand. Building that bootleg is a pain in the arse but the accessories are complete & less correcting stickers.

[@mogami-san4012]

For me, harute Gundam is the coolest and perfect design for the mobile armor mode if we back to the past when Gundam started having mobile armor mode in airplane designs it's weird except for Zeta Gundam as the plane mode mobile armor pioneer was the most normal before the Harute Gundam

[@constantinebratanata]

I'd like to mention that you can pull down on the sword part of the sword rifles to reveal the barrel of the rifle. I think you missed that on the Zerachiel as well.

[@dadoulalien5514]

He missed that on the Zerachiel as well.

[@nismo76]

I have the standard harute and this review just made me realize I had my binders on backwards too this whole time. I almost wanna buy this just to throw the new parts on

[@twohands2152]

Just got this kit delivered today. Might use it as a pallet cleanser after I finish the eclipse I'm working on.

[@venator30jackal79]

I got the standard Harute and from what I hear in this review, it has a couple superior aspects to this version

[@First-Name_Last-Name]

I have both the Bandai and Hobby Star final battle version of this kit. My personal opinion: Bandai: Priced higher than Hobby Star's (45 USD in my country) Less detail and gimmicks, but solid and stable build. Will stay put when moved or at static display. Hobby Star: Price is ok(25 USD in my country) A bit more detailed at some places. Plastic quality and mold a bit eh. Sticker print quality a bit bad. A loose and janky kit.

[@LatencyProblem]

this can turn into the regular Harute so this is definitely better

[@Matanumi]

I had the standard I loved it but never moved it after I built and gave it to the cabin

[@jeff3221]

Think I'll wait for a Master Grade release with fully realised gimmicks. Which should release in eh about 10 years

[@crist3809]

i used to own the harute final battle by hobby star and tbh this doesnt really look better lol that thing comes with waterdecals ,special stand ,and effect parts ,and more bits so im looking forward for the zabanya more

[@geminas5044]

and also the ability to store the scissor bits when not in used.... yes i own one too and i bought it for experimental purposes

[@maxnexus5421]

What I like about the hobby star is the silver stickers, it makes it look more premium.

[@First-Name_Last-Name]

I have both Bandai and Hobby Star's. I personally feel that HS plastic quality and molding is slightly worse than Bandai's. A bit loose too on the waist and leg connectors too than Bandai's. The only plus is it's priced way more affordable than Bandai's version, more "bits/funnel" thingy, and the LED compatible GN drive.

[@crist3809]

@@First-Name_Last-Name yea the plastic quality is obvious tho but if you just into displaying it ,the hobby star will holds more presence in your display

[@geminas5044]

@@First-Name_Last-Name and that's also my HS Harute's problem as well.... some parts are incredibly loose.... especially around the hip joints and the torso that covers the face when transformed on mine

[@maxnexus5421]

The only thing I don't like about this kit is that the clear parts are still clear, they didn't even change it to the dark green. And also the leg connection, it's not lock in like the nightingale has.

[@shockbladezed1871]

The clear parts are an easy fix though, just grab the appropriate color sharpie and you're good to go

[@josedominicgutierrez1234]

A nice kit from Bandai. But, I would say that the third company Hobby Star did a much better job with their version. Complete all 10 scissors bits, have all individual stands and booster GN drive can be lighted with Bandai's LED. Still, Bandai has better plastic quality, design, and build strength.

[@MechaGaikotsu]

After all the positive comments about that kit here I had to google it. The fact that it has actual hatches for the scissor bits looks incredible. Bandai need to pull their pants up!

[@josedominicgutierrez1234]

@@MechaGaikotsu yeah, Bandai could have really done a better job with this kit, especially that this one is labelled PBandai. They could have went the extra mile since people already payed extra cash for this kit.

already built a Kyrios, Arios, Arios GNHW and a Harute.. thank God this is P Bandai so I wont be tempted to get one soon..

[@fabionlewis3884]

Great Review. The Harute is a beast of a Mobile Suit in the movie. While the High Grade kit is decent, Bandai needs to make a Master Grade or a Real Grade kit for this suit. It would definitely be awesome with all of the bells and whistles like the GN Boosters, all 20 Scissor Bits and the Marute Mode head, even if it’s separate from the normal head and can be swapped with it. It’s hilarious how Celestial Being’s first transforming suit, the Abulhool is literally a jet that can stand on 2 legs with a Gundam head bolted on top🤣. Comparing the Abulhool to the Harute shows how far Celestial Being’s tech has progressed.

[@KazumaFSeiei]

In gun mode you should pull/slide the grey part on the upper weapon to show the scope/sensor hidden there

[@medelin2248]

[@spartantraveler7251]

The Harute would make a good Ace Combat/Project Wingman super aircraft. It has an extreme amount of missiles, scissor bits are basically drones (the Raven and the Nosferatu from Infinity has them), and the two GN cannons are similar to the rail guns of the Nosferatu plus the leg verniers are almost identical to the PW-MK1's nozzles.

[@branchygiraffe]

I really wish they made master grades of the awakening of the trailblazer gundams

[@0Defensor0]

I'm really worried about the way you're supposed to display this kit in fight form, relying on a tiny little horizontal peg... However what I noticed is the entire front skirt section is held by a polycap for no reason. If you remove it (and ignore the bottom of the kit) then you can use a vertical peg to put it on a stand, which to me feels much more secure.

[@OvAeons]

man, there needs to be MGs of the alt ultimate frames from OO and IBO

[@kupalhobby]

As for my experience Gundam OO HGs are rock hard, I have the OO Raiser with the 7 sword/G equipment and he has no problem holding it all the waist joint is still solid after adding all those bulk

[@sweetybait]

I had normal harute, it's has somewhat good design back in 2010, that's considering the delta kai and rezel HG need to change parts to transform into ma mode, it can be considered some cheap hg from bandai too(considering the amount of plastic used in this kit) I had some nostalgic history with this kit too, because it's my first gundam kit I bought from amiami

Harute's fighter mode greatly resembles Marie Parfacy's/Soma Peries' GN Archer, which makes sense since she co-pilot it.

[@ArchusKanzaki]

Yeah for Harute, its basically "well, Arios is always paired with GN Archer nowadays.... so for Harute, just combine 2 of them and get them a double cockpit lol"

Actual Lore: Celestial Being was strapped for cash from building the Qan-T, so they combined the two units to cut development costs. 5th generation units my ass!

[@reeseolsen4052]

@@noonethatspecial Close enough, though it does take design input from Arios & Kyrios along with the XN Raiser Harute doesn't use Arios's frame alongside the GN Archer's.

In MA forms, the deficiencies won't be noticeable, even though Zabanya is my favorite design Also, I'm always surprised with how big Kyrios, Arios, and Harute is.

Early RGs have issues with the prebuilt frames. If you are a seed fan and want a good kit for your first kit might I recommend the HG Destiny or HG Infinite Justice or BOTH!!! They are amazing newer HG kits that come with a lot of effect parts. Mecha himself rated the HG Destiny over the RG version as it even comes with the wings of light effect parts. I have both kits even though I am not into Seed at all but I love both kits so so much. They are beautiful, rock solid and just all around good high grades that are extremely color accurate.
