If bandai keeps this up with no beam saber effect parts.i want to see them at least release a multi color, sizes and length beam saber effect part packs then for us that like to customize and might want to use a color other then green or pink for our kits.i would see a pack like that done for beam sabers since the different size and style hands ftom GBF went over so well.i think a beam saber pack with different color,sizes and lengths would as well

[@yourbiologicalmomdotcom]

>Bandai should give us beam effects They've been doing that. It's called MS Parts.

[@Heroduothecomedian]

@@yourbiologicalmomdotcom i know and im not saying they shouldn't since it been that way for so long but if they are gonna start doing this from now on then the least they can do is give us different shape,sizes,lengths and colors of beam effects in a pack simular to the hand pack we got during gundam build fightiers try

[@natchx6040]

A bit of correction, based on the torso beam cannon, it's actually based on strike freedom so that weirf polycap under the railgun/side skirt is actually holders/holsters for the beam rifle when not in use, which is weird design for freedom, because the railguns would be unusable when it have the rifles stored

[@ChrisTian-sd5yq]

the rail guns act as a back skirt during that

[@knightx605]

+Mecha_Gaikotsu The reason why the did not give us beam is understandalbe for THIS model because it never used them in the series so yeah it is sort of a left over part, but the other models their is no reason for that and they could have put the scythe on part of the striker runner as a removable part and give it round hands for when they give us a revive Strike noir. Also I do not want to be that person, but it is strike freedom.

[@Distain_Gaming]

Things on this kit that are vestigial: Hipskirt polycaps (Strike Freedom stored it's rifles as hip skirts, but since those aren't finished in this kit, whoopsydoodle) The old kit's shoulders (Share a runner with parts they left in) The Beam Sabers (Kept instead of Removed for cost) The Beam Shield (From the Strike Freedom's multicast gate) As far as the scythe goes, they probably should have added it to L2 instead of J1 but no HG is without it's flaws.

For the beam shield, I ran across a similar issue with strike freedom and destiny revives; I found that lightly painting the top with a chrome silver and brushing it off carefully with brillopad or light sandpaper adds a better, more convincing beam shield effect

The polycaps on the sides are to store the guns. The railguns fold to the backskirt

[@dalejones7450]

The side poly caps at the waist are for holding the rifles that don't have enough to make them the side skirt rifles fold around back then the joining rifle guns get stored on the side but because the poly caps are there to keep space. Amazing strike freedom is the same. Check it out for yourself.

[@erubin100]

People seem to hate the color scheme because it looks odd, but I actually like it for that reason! More specifically, I like the dichotomy: a grim reaper in pink! It's bizarre I can't help but love it!

@@GoneDeathMode The head sculpt does remind me of destiny. Tbh I first thought this was a kitbash of destiny and freedom, judging by the head and the forearm shield.

[@gerardray1232]

It's an entirely new head sculpt. Not Deathscythe's nor Destiny's. Though the sculpt itself looks more like destiny than deathscythe, but the black color and v fin are what makes it look like deathscythe.

[@issackaiser]

Basically a destiny head with deathscythe v fin kinda mold.

[@hitori_gurashi]

love to see this guy with majority of black, white and gray colors only

[@OtherSpartin]

I wanted to mention in vase it hasn't been said. The backpack mount for the Strike pack actual has a "conversion" there is the main dual peg mount that most Gunpla use these days but the strike pack can slide off that piece and have a single peg mount intended for the strike series kits (strike, build strike, and dagger) and also works okay with the Astrays. This boosts the likelihood of a Noir revive or a 1/144 Astray Noir a lot which is great!

[@danwithaplan3742]

You can cut up runner plastic melt it in some Tamiya cement to make cheap cement, then brush it around the weapon handles to thicken them. After the cement cures, use a metal file to flatten 2 to 8 sides of the handles until they just fit snug into the hands. Just focus on the parts of the handle that you think would be in the best positions for the hands to grab so you don't have to coat the entire handle.

[@cameroncorrosive925]

this is one of my favorite kits, the colors are pleasing as well. interesting though mine did come with beams for the sabers! now i need space for more gundams that have large wings x)

[@Re5_2karman]

the dual beam buster swords (IDK the actual name) mounted on the original Noir Striker pack are actually better. The twin scythes looks weird, the handles are too short, which were the same handles which were used on the original beam swords and suited better (though I have to agree it's practically not suitable with gunpla holding hands in majority). With all these cons on those scythes, I can't put the blame on Bandai. So far the problems we got from Build Divers line up are mainly caused by these 3 things: 1. The quality of the kit that it is based on (which also happened to HGBF line-up) 2. The adaptation of the modification (new parts) for the kit that it's based on (for this case I specifically point on the HG Astray No Name's elbow armor and the add-ons on Impulse Arc & Lancier) 3. Major problems like proportions, weaponry (for example Love Phantom), colors, overall look, and so on which aren't direct problems from the model kit but straight from the actual concept arts used in the anime

[@Cii.f1]

After you said the beam effect is like goku i can't unsee it

[@kaigen999]

It's amazing it's taken us so long to be getting a HGAC Deathscythe haha

[@alexruiz9942]

Those little Polly caps are for holding the strike freedom’s beam rifles

[@Arrowdodger]

I am weird in that I kinda like the pink handle, but yeah, Bandai is behaving lazily, between that and the inexcusable lack of sabers. (Though, it bugs me less here than on the Jegan, since this at least uses the common beam type)

[@k1ming]

Dude really really love all your reviews, funny, informative and entertaining. thanks for all yours videos

[@pandamochiyum8854]

I guess those beam sabers are for the old kit sake and not for the main kit since magee just uses the Scythe iirc.

[@TheGreatSoundwave]

wrap tape around the handles of the weapons, works every time

[@sm3sam97]

Glad I could help!

[@korinnichi8311]

you can put the beam rifles on the waist where the poly caps are

[@robertshaw1175]

I do not recall the Love Phantom using a energy shield or beam sabers in the anime so its possible the clear shield and handles are just extra parts.

[@gundamkesumat1142]

It's based on Strike Freedom, not Freedom 🤪

[@MarkCSPadin]

In the original Strike Freedom kit, you are supposed rotate the railgun to the back then mount the beam rifles to the, what you described, "useless" pegs on the sides.

[@sp3aker4thed3ad]

The poly-caps on the waist are there for the Strike Freedom's beam rifles to be stored

[@reisigking4500]

Someone may have already said this but the vestigial poly-caps on the hips would normally be used to hold the strike freedoms guns. Obviously a little useless with this kit. Great review, as always. I look forward to the next one.

Isn’t the spot where the skirts usually are for were the beam rifles can be stored?

[@charlesjuganas6558]

+Mecha Gaikotsu The sockets on the waists are where the strike freedom beam guns were supposed to attach to. Though as you said, the handles for the guns were missing so attaching the guns the phantom itself would be pretty much meh >_
