[@dol_mel7487]

Surprised how little people are mentioning how this could be used to make a gundam Alex revive....

[@Mamoru0Hasukage]

I was thinking the same and boy would I like to see it get that treatment. They really should have considered doing that before making the Tristan but eh, what can ya do

[@porkflaps4717]

I'm thinking of getting it and throwing a couple Titans decals on it and viola! Non-canon Titans MS

[@jayenglish6631]

There are rumors that the Alex Revive is planned using the same design. Makes since since they are similar. Almost 20 years but it’s finally here.

[@user-ir1xo9jp8w]

Gundam Alex Revive and then PLEASE, EVEN IF IT IS P-BANDAI, Tristan Revive!

[@holden_7597]

Jay English the old HG came out in 2005...

[@chaeminkim5914]

Mudrock: i've got beaten up bu a mere Zaku.... Alex& Trsitan: First time?

[@BlitzkriegOmega]

to be fair to the Mudrock, it ain't the first time a Gundam lost to a Zaku. it's all about Pilot Skill. RX-78-2, while not destroyed, was pretty much floored by the Zaku II S-Type there's the Full Armor Gundam that got destroyed by the Bullet Zaku near the end of the war. the Thunderbolt Gundam was beaten pretty handily by the Psycho Zaku.

[@gunplamaniac8500]

FA Thunderbolt: hey guys, is there some kind of meeting here?

[@jayenglish6631]

RX-79 (G) - You guys got nothin on me. *Limps away*

[@user-ir1xo9jp8w]

Don't forget that the Project V mobile suits started aging around the later parts of the war.

[@Brawler_1337]

Black Chandelier Mirage It’s not really Christina’s fault that the Alex got destroyed by a Zaku. She had to get used to a suit that was specifically tuned for a Newtype, and she even stated that it felt out of control at times. No matter her skill level, she’d probably get her ass handed to her because she’s simply the wrong pilot for the machine.

[@berzerk-_-fury5470]

The Eyes are Red in the free-to-play game "Gundam Battle Operation 2" on the PS4. Edit* and yes it's a beast in game. It hovers like a Dom does.

[@Studio_OZKai]

Its eyes were also red in Zeonic Front's render, but not its design artwork. I'm going with red for that antagonist feel the Gundam was supposed to have in that game.

[@pristine3094]

nah... with thermal cloak he will never see me. just 1 hit him with meele or dom tropen beam rifle

[@pilotamurorei]

Its falling out of favor at the higher costs because you have the MLRS GP02, lv 3 gelgoog cannon, and gelgoog J lv 3. It's beast mode at the 450 cost level though.

[@Mystic2760]

Oh wow, really? They made it's eyes red specifically for Battle Operation? Huh, neat. And I can vouch for that, the Mudrock is a KILLER support unit

[@pilotamurorei]

like i said, mudrock gets completely slammed in unrestricted because of GP02BB raping it, then you have all the other OP support units like Gelgoog J lv 3 and Gelgoog cannon lv 3 out there, then even Rick Dias can hold its own against Mudrock and thats only 500 cost, right at the same cost as Mudrock lv2. Then on top of that, Rick dias just got a non-damaging stun attack today which will absolutely WRECK Mudrock now, so maybe you should pay attention a bit to the meta before opening your mouth about mudrock?

[@Studio_OZKai]

This was a kit I'd been waiting on for 18 years, and I'm super hyped to get mine. Zeonic Front was a pretty ambitious Gundam game, especially so for one that made it stateside, and one I have a lot of fond (and terrifying) memories with.

[@McLeod917]

Same still put my copy in from time to time. Has alot of weapons that are original to that game and rarely seen outside of it or its mangas.

[@HeadCannonPrime]

same. This was a huge gaping hole in my Gunpla collection and its finally out.

[@P4ntlessNinja]

@spec ops listening to Amuro count his kills as he vaporizes your friends is hilariously grim, that game absolutely does not fuck around

[@bobdylan7432]

I absolutely loved zeonic front. The mission that made me most miserable was collecting data on the white base and trying to maneuver around rx78 and his beam cannon had me on edge for the longest lol

[@Studio_OZKai]

@@bobdylan7432 That mission made me legit DREAD Amuro, and definitely does an amazing job of showing what a force he and the Gundam are. His count-up as he mills out your teammates is horrifying.

[@jaydengreene9907]

Mudrock Also had Red Eyes in Zeonic Front on PS2. Scary thing when you haven't really played any RTS style game. And I was like 10 when I played it and Mudrock hunted my dreams so powerful. Movement like a Dom and Firepower of a Gundam on steroids..

[@nicholaswhitmyer3450]

I felt invincible using that in the game and the dom trop u get at the end of the game w the beam rifle, so op

[@caseyjones8246]

The grey parys on the arms ARE Grenade launchers! They just don't have the functional gimmick on the HG.

[@Brawler_1337]

That is my one real gripe with this kit. IIRC, if you remove shipping and the P-Bandai upcharge, they said the MSRP on this thing was something like $35. For an HG that expensive, not including two extra parts for the grenade launchers is IMO inexcusable.

[@flashsentry1791]

Zeonic front was my first introduction into the universe of Gundam. I never watched any of the shows or knew anything about Gundam. This is maybe the reason why I am a big fan of Zeons mobile suits. But I would love to have this model.

[@baibai4897]

I’m a simple guy. I see Mudrock, I like...

[@PorkSwordFTW]

Mudrock > Sandrock

[@ummguy5548]

Mudrock, otherwise known as sandstone

[@blaarg001]

In other words Sandrock

[@javierpatag3609]

I'm honestly wondering if they're going to make another "X-stone" Gundam in the future.

[@drewmosto4718]

ZephyranthesGP01 is it me or does it have similarities to the sandrock?

[@blaarg001]

@@drewmosto4718 A little in the torso and color scheme, but you can tell they arent from the same universe.

[@alfianfahmi5430]

This should be a catalyst for HGUC Alex Revive.

[@syntaxlost9239]

They're not going to release an HG so close to the MG.

[@johnnymovie7484]

Agree

[@alfianfahmi5430]

@@syntaxlost9239 It wouldn't be that fast, but I think it's possible considering Mudrock Gundam shared some similar parts with Alex such as the skirt armor and the lower arms. Who knows if it's actually released it pretty close to the MG. Maybe because of the "Dreaded Tristan" incident or something.

[@syntaxlost9239]

@@alfianfahmi5430 All the runners are labelled Mudrock. They would need to redo all of the molds aside from maybe a few joints from the C-Runner. It's incredibly unlikely to happen any time soon. If you look at modern examples where Bandai released two (non-SD) grades in quick succession, the only example I can think of is the P-Bandai Shezarr Jesta B&C. And in that case, the base kits already existed and the MG was very lacklustre. I know everyone loves the Alex and is hopeful. But it's not happening any time soon. Bandai will almost certainly keep it in their back pocket for a few years still.

[@alfianfahmi5430]

@@syntaxlost9239 I'm not saying it's gonna use this mold, I'm just saying they're similar. Who knows if they randomly puts Mudrock runners in Alex, or maybe they would make a heavy remold with the same engineering as the Mudrock. Alex Revive ain't gonna come fast, I know. But considering how similar both MS are, it opens the possibility of the Alex Revive.

[@Castitalus]

3:14 Draw me like one of your zeon suits.

[@maxbrandt6]

I'm not much for Gunpla but this is rather cool to see that Bandai finally kitted this variant of the Gundam, last time I saw the Mudrock it was featured in the November 2001 issue of Hobby Japan magazine, page 112. It was only ever a one-off kitbashed model!

[@Snishi52]

is anyone gonna talk about 666 and that noise😂

[@Sh3ba5843]

That is awesome!! Not overwhelming with weapons, love the shoulder canons. Very well balanced

[@onionring1531]

I love that some of the parts on this kit may hint at a RX-78-4 and RX-78-5, though no doubt they'll be P-Bandai and may take years to release. Although we could just be getting a revive Alex.

[@averyretodo8159]

Is it me or does the beam rifle look like a pulse rifle from aliens

[@SilverTheGreatX]

It's just me or giant robots with shoulder cannons are the best? You name it! -guncannon -guntank -full armor gundams -mudrock And I'm sure there is a lot more!

[@jsantos4176]

Gelgoog Cannon.

[@issackaiser]

Well, technically Most Full Armour Gundam has their Cannon is mounted on the backpack. I still love it nonetheless.

[@ninjaguy_12]

Literally older HG’s like the GM Quel and GM Custom have the same Shield but have better color separation

[@holden_7597]

The shield is accurate to the art though. Not to the Quel or GM Custom, but to the Mudrock.

[@radlee0123]

Mechagaikotsu sacrificed the arm joint plastic to show us the dangers of buttery plastic. Salute to a true fuckin' champ.

[@ChronoPinoyX]

10:36 I was gonna make a "Solid as a mudrock" pun comment but mudrock is probably not that solid

[@TubaJay448]

It's not mud anymore, it's a rock.

[@NateVHVT]

Absolutely adore this kit. Just the chunky ness of it. And the face mask is similar enough to the rx 79 but different to be unique.

[@fishpop]

In GBO2 i painted my Mudrock like G1 Soundwave and the colours work very well. Also this is the only RX-78 with a proper name. You should at least get the REVIVE RX-78-2. In terms of complete RX-78 families: MG is missing 6 & 7 whereas HGUC is missing 1, 4 & 5.

[@ceasarspartacus]

There was also a dreamcast game that introduced a mobile suit they called the r-GM-3. Visually it was a step between the GM-2 and the GM space type. The game also made shoulder cannons an accessory. Gm cannon was literally just a GM-2 mounted with a single shoulder cannon, whereas the gm cannon had 2 built into the chest piece

[@neon_lavander]

Pale rider was released with a video game before being released as a premium bandai making the woundwart the first "from the ground up" pbandai mobile suit

[@Infamous_Mr_Gates]

Man, the customization potential this kit has is full on hype

[@npc6817]

The reason behind the forearm swivel is so you can flip it 180° when you pose it shooting from the grenade launchers so they are on top of the forearm

[@HeadCannonPrime]

Can't wait. Mine will be here any day now!

[@Greyhoundsniper]

Mecha I fell in love with my pale rider grund type which was my 1st peeb, and I heavily dont think 50$ was a waste even if it took a long time to paint everything and details with dark gray edit: JFC that fumina really freaked me out, the horrors

[@emodanXxX]

Been an expensive month already with the RG Nu and Sazabi coming into stock on HLJ and now it looks like I need to get this. I guess my wife can do without any more presents lol

[@e.hellbrand9707]

Totally should just get the Cheapo RX-78-2 Revive It's pretty nice, I'm building it right now.

[@lemeres2478]

5:25 I barely even count the crotch sticker for HG. it is just far too common for it to not be in color. It is minor, and easy to overlook usually. It isn't like some mess like the ground gundam (thunderbolt)'s big old face tattoo.

I don't remember this gundam from Zeonic Front, but I haven't played that game in over a decade. Perhaps I should revisit it since I do still have it, and my old PS2.

[@averagenolife6860]

I remember a little bit of the game and this guy, I really wish this wasn't premium. I would definitely buy more than two.

[@gtsgreatteacherscathach5550]

Of course it's a P Bandai it looks so cool which means more money to pay. Still have plans to get TR-6 Woundwort soon it looks so amazing.

[@user-hg6yo4ut8v]

I wish they'd used a sim8lar arm joint with the HG Jegans. The Jegan is shown multiple times in the lineart to be able to rotate its lower arms like that.

[@chrisp4587]

I was playing that back when it came out, found it in the bargain bin at E.B. games when that was still a thing

[@wotwott2319]

The reason why they put the forearm that way is because like the Alex, the Mudrock flips it's forearm by 180 degrees to fire it's arm cannons (i.e, the 90mm gatlings on the Alex, and the grenade launcher on the Mudrock)

[@supergeno128ds]

I'm so used to seeing it with red eyes, the green eyes keep throwing me off. I feel like its red eyes are what makes it iconic compared to most Gundam designs... you know, aside from the dual cannons and hovering aesthetic. XD Also, as much as I ADORE the Pale Rider, I have a bad feeling about the Pale Rider Space Type's review since it's so sticker heavy. Ah, well. I love the kit and thats what's important.

I want a non P Bandai of the G 7th with removable armor. Also the back cannons are beam cannons not 300 mm physical cannons.

[@liamtheheroicgundamwarrior9752]

Zeon if front is a hard PS2 Gundam game that has some strategy elements for planning routes for up to 3 mobile suit teams of Zeon mobile suits before the mission begins. Once the mission begins then you get into the 3rd person shooter elements of the game & you get to control one of the 3 team leaders & you can even switch between which one you are controlling in the middle of the battle. The story mode of the game is pretty much entirely from the perspective of the Principality of Zeon (more specifically the Zeon’s “Midnight Fenrir” team) & the Gundam Mudrock is basically the main “enemy character’s mobile suit” in the story throughout the game. I haven’t played the game myself… but I have heard from my uncle’s friend once that it is a hard PS2 Gundam game (probably THE HARDEST PS2 Gundam game) & I’ve only seen a let’s play of the entire story of the game here on KZbin.

[@roadblock0236]

[@tonyy.8852]

[@GrieveIV]

Pretty sure the Pale Rider is not 100% new but it is largely original. Especially it’s weapons. Also it isn’t very part separated. Lots of stickers and lots of painting. It is great though despite being pretty old👌🏻

[@eomersimbajon2938]

Whoever designed that beam rifle was watching a lot of Aliens. Slight changes to the buttstock and extended the barrel, but def the inspiration.

[@highhunter1st]

"Medium effort." Me looking for the effort confused.

[@lemeres2478]

I kind of get why the arms turn- it is a classic for GM kai/type c to have a pose like that. It helps to make the arms look thicker, since the armor at the bottom is brought towards the edge of the silhouette. That also creates a more dynamic 'standing up straight in the hanger' style pose. Flexing muscles, basically. But... the GM Kai gets this effect using just a basic arm swivel. I am sure the game had some poses like that, but this was not a good choice for the kit.

[@dol_mel7487]

Lemeres it's also probably because they may intend to retool the kit into the Alex as this version of the Murdock shares far more elements with the gundam Alex than any other version

[@vanebo21c]

I think if you snip that extra diagonal of white plastic, you'll get better articulation. But, I don't know how much of the aesthetics it will sacrifice

[@forexjammer]

Reminder to emulate PS2 Zeonic Front. It's probably the most accurate grunt simulator there is, you control up to 9 Zeon MS and can issue command to them. Amuro alone can destroy all of you and it's fucking scary.

[@th3aegisblade206]

Mecha, reasons why the arm rotate because the micro-missiles comes out of the gray arm guard, it’s game of others it doesn’t walk, it hovers and last the eyes is always red because......well they just made it red
