The Typhoeus itself needs a little bit of work but I love the look overall. Reminds me of the old Super Sentai/ Power Rangers designs/characters when not inside it's armor.

My roommate said it looks like something from Power Rangers when I finished the straight build 😂! I decided to use the leftover Raphael parts to replace the garish ugly injection gold and it looks much better.

I say the main reason for them using only high grade models is simply because there are more than and the easier to combine than Master grades. And can you imagine the amount of length of a plastic there would be in a Master Grade build Fighters kit? Not to mention they would have to make a bunch of unique parts for each kid to avoid that

@SoulstrikerV 5 ай бұрын

And every time that MG breaks in a fight, the builder needs to have spares of the entire kit to keep going to the following rounds. And many of the competitors are children. Maintaining a single custom HG and its multiple spares is already unrealistically expensive unless you're winning the gold.

canonically speaking there's just a different competition for MG. the Wing Fenice was made into a MG kit in the form of the Gundam Fenice Rinascita Alba, a MG-version of the normal Rinascita now in blue.

@@SoulstrikerV in gundam breaker 3, someone does bring a master grade to a tournament. it's a boss, and the way it's told, that player had never lost a battle with it before (until us, obviously), so there is some precedence for them, and just how much more powerful they are compared to a hg's power level, whatever the metrics may be

@yi_hou3092 5 ай бұрын

the Reason why people go to 1/144 Scale Kits in Build is due to the Abundance of Spare parts and Ease of Maintenance Real Grade is in the Middle Ground since the Build Strike had a Scratch Built Inner Frame there have been times were other scales have been represented like the 1/48 Mega Size Zaku 1/60 Strike Gundam, 1/60 Exia, 1/200 RX-78-2

Jury is pretty split: We had some kits with their Build variants first and then later the OG is P-Bandai (Teritium to Gundam Mk.III, Livelance Heaven to Deathscythe Hell), but we had the OG come out as regular releases too (R-Gyagya to R-Jarja). With Destroy Gundam coming to us as retail, one can only hope that the eventual Psycho Gundam Mk II is also retail.

21:00 this is because HGs are the most varied and readily-available grade for gunpla. It's much easier to customize an HG gunpla not because it is actually easy to do, but because it is easy to replace if things go south.

The rg system on the build strike means "Radial General Purpose (RG) System" not real grade, so the build strike is a hg gundam in the show.

for the shoulders I found that putting together the gray parts for the most part first made it an easy fix when assembling and then you'd plug in the small gray part up top into the incomplete armor section then reattach the small red sliding bit to the aromor, then it's super simple to add the last piece.

@sillysalmoninc. 5 ай бұрын

I like to think that characters use HG kits since there’s so many different HGs that exist. So it helps when customizing. IRL explanation is definitely marketing since HGs are cheap and easy, anyone could build an HG since they’re so easy. Kids are part of the demographic so small and cheap kits are perfect

Wasn't there a Mega Size Zaku in the original Build Fighters? It was illegally added by the chairman himself because he wanted Sei and Reiji off the tournament. I think 1/144 is widely used in Build competitions because of the amount of choices available in the market.

@EnmaRyuzawa98 5 ай бұрын

The one i remember is a Psycho GM, and it got a PBandai HG

@djkidna 5 ай бұрын

There was a Mega Size that was used but I do not believe that was put in illegally. Also in a flashback in Build Divers, the protagonist used a Speed Grade to fight against someone using a Perfect Grade who was destroying everyone in the shop. So there’s no rules against the use of larger grades, and they are more powerful, but I believe the reasoning for them not being used is because in the original Build Fighters the actual kits would get damaged in combat, and repairs for MGs and PGs would just get too expensive to use them consistently

@SoulstrikerV 5 ай бұрын

@djkidna I guess I worded that wrongly. There was a Mega Size registered in the system. The kit was on standby on a GP Base. But it wasn't scheduled to be part of the competition during that round. The chairman just added it to the field for personal reasons outside of his duty as the chairman to get rid of Reiji.

@muchluck7981 2 ай бұрын

For gunpla battle in the Build fighters Universe, it's for ease of repair. It's harder to repair an MG over a HG so whenever the parts are breaking constantly, just get a few pla plates and rebuild the part you need to build instead of buying a whole kit. In team battles, you can use some oversized kits but then the entire team needs to use the gunpla, not just 1 person. For Build divers, I suspect it's mainly due to the size of the scanners used for online play. GBD scanners in divers can scan PG's but the scanners used for GBN are smaller and may require specialized equipment you are not going to find easily for HG

In the build series everyone uses HG because that would give everyone access to GunPla and makes it easier to compare abilities both in building and customization. There was a bit in the BF:T in which they look at the G Portent deploy repair machine and say something along the lines of "that Gunpla is so detailed it's almost a Real Grade" to show the degree of ability from Shia, IIRC

Best case with this kit in my opinion is to have this painted up with the armor separate on stand. Have the cold be a bright candy gold or a lighter shade of gold to match the original art. The full transformed version would look nice if you already have a lot of bulky transformed kits like AOZ line.

@arserya4815 5 ай бұрын

Actually i think the show doesn't exactly use HG its more advance than the RG with a better inner frame more like an MG but in 1/144 scale. There a scene in build fighter try where they show try burning gundam in a case without its armor and have a full inner frame. Therefore i think the series gunpla is diferent than the real life version we got cus they are more futuristic and advance technology in the show. Also whenever the character held their gunpla it have those clicky noise i know it just a sound effect but it felt more realistic like it have more part in it.

about characters Gunpla battle using kits other than 1/144 scale and SD, the Build Divers side story GM and Ball World Challenge and its sequel Genius Head Line is about characters who Gunpla battle using 1/100 scale kits from MG to RE/100, also in Build Divers Re:Rise we have that epic battle between a Speed Grade kit which is 1/200 scale and a Perfect Grade which is 1/60 scale which is hilarious.

Who would've thought that the HG CB-002 Raphael Gundam & HG JEE-M103 Kutan Type-III, would be reused like this. 21:43 The fact that Bandai made HG MRX-010 Psycho Gundam Mk-II parts for this kit means we're very very likely to get an actual HG MRX-010 Psycho Gundam Mk-II sooner or later. This happened many times before. A somewhat recent example would be the HG XXXG-01L2 Gundam Livelance Heaven which led to an HG XXXG-01D2 Gundam Deathscythe Hell (TV) released as a P-Bandai afterwards. So going by precedent, it'd make sense to expect an HG MRX-010 Psycho Gundam Mk-II as a P-Bandai later. In fact, I think we might even see a new HG MRX-009 Psycho Gundam since the existing kit is a 2004 kit, and a P-Bandai release based on that newer version for: - MRX-007 Prototype Psycho Gundam - MRX-008 Prototype Psycho Gundam - MRX-010 Psycho Gundam Mk-II
