I think the design philosophy of these kits is essentially as follows: 2.0 focuses on a highly detailed and mechanically complex inner frame, while retaining the outward appearance of the anime 3.0 focuses on greater detail on the armor and visible elements, in contrast to 2.0 where most of the design on the finished kit is hidden under the armor panels GTO focuses on simple, robust joints and range of motion What is wonderful is that these three distinct approaches provide master grade quality to each interest, and at the same time provide very different aesthetic design approaches. Of course aesthetically, 2.0 is based on the anime, 3.0 is based on the Yokohama Gundam, and GTO is based on The Origin manga. It's almost entirely up to personal preference which one you buy, and it's equally valid to collect all three. I built the 2.0 because that was exactly what I personally wanted from my RX-78.

this is by far the most detailed explanation on the difference of these 3 versions of RX-78! Good Job, I really enjoy it! Guess the Ver 3.0 will the the first one I'll eventually pick up.

thanks! yes 3.0 has very nice exterior especially when you dont do painting. although it 'feels' a bit loose.

One of the best comparisons you can find on YT. I have the 3.0 but am watching this video For the 2.0. Thinking of buying 2.0 because I have a feelings its fits in better with al the other UC models than 3.0.

Initially, when I saw the various Master Grade RX-78-2 Gundams, I thought "The version 2.0 is definitely the worst, even the 1.5 looks more detailed." However, I think the 2.0's best strength is its inner frame. The frame of the 2.0 is so good looking, I might get the kit just to paint and display the frame.
@Johnnybomb12 жыл бұрын
The 2.0 is my favorite, not only for it's detailed inner frame but also aesthetics. Next would be 1.5, OYW, and 3.0. Don't like Origin version or Ver Ka.
@tedhodge4830 Жыл бұрын
The 2.0 is less detailed on the exterior because it is intended to look like the anime/lineart. It compensates for this by having a very mechanically detailed and functional inner frame. It just depends on what you prefer aesthetically, the Yokohama "real grade" aesthetic, the more true to anime aesthetic, or The Origin manga aesthetic with the redesigns for the manga version and corresponding extra parts like the shoulder cannon, etc. For this reason it is justifiable to get all three, I think, or whichever ones you like best. We are spoiled for choice with the RX-78.

The Origin is the second MG I ever built (I love the shoulder cannon), but I am also tempted to get a 3.0. I used to think it would be weird to have a bunch of different versions of the same mecha, but it seems fairly common for gunpla collectors to have loads of different variants of the (basic Amuro color) RX-78-2. So I foresee myself ending up with all three MGs and the 1/100 Yokohama Gundam base version.

I really like the the white armoured kneecap inside the 2.0's knee. Makes it look much less like a weakpoint compared to the 3.0. I have no idea why they made that whole knee part stick out at this weird angle on the GTO. Great video showing the differences between the three version

I got MG Deathsycthe Hell EW version, and instantly got hooked as soon as I started building. It's still not finished, and I'm already looking for the next kit. And what better to pick up, given my limited shelf (as I also collect Transformers, and I'm already running out of space), than the original gundam itself. But I'll go with Ver 3.0, it looks epic and more detailed compared to the other two. I'll just get myself prepared for frustration and some possibly loose joints(although joint glue will help there).
