[@Vesperitis]

The Huckebein Mk-III was the first SRW protagonist unit I ever played in Alpha 2. Still think it's one of the most gorgeous designs ever.

[@ry0usama511]

I personally think that the mass produced huckebein is the best looking. Sad there wasn't any kit of it

[@sira26]

agreed. My personal favourite is the Exbein Ashe, would be cool if it also got a model kit from bandai

[@kamenriderovant9676]

P-Bandai for its other weapon which is like a mini Denborium Orchis.

[@MegaOS_Ver_NEET]

@@sira26 considering banresto/bandai managed to have an in-lore event that blow up the gundam-clones so that they can replace them with another, gundam but with shades clones... and yeah. Ashe looked cool. while Ex-Exbein says looks can really deceive.

[@popburnsy3207]

Augh.... ok fine I'll get this one....

[@ry0usama511]

Wait till you find out it can dock with AM Gunner and Boxer

[@LostInTheInternet93]

I feel that. Mourn for both our wallets

[@BC-qn6sf]

Noooo y did u have to put that out there 💵 🔥

[@IRJOE5]

Yeah... I am thinking that too 🤔 😅

[@Matanumi]

It's like 70 bucks though

[@adolhein]

For the confused: EOT or Extra-Over Technology is simply earth tech made using materials of extraterrestrial orgin. Also, the Graviton Rifle has no place for storage on the Mk-III since it's depicted either being pulled out of a pocket dimension or launched from an allied battleship via a purgable booster (which sadly isn't included with the base kit or the AM Gunner kit. I'm hoping a future AM Boxer kit will have it.)

[@BaoZakeruga]

I am loving this age of srw mechs getting kits.

[@MechaGaikotsu]

They're such NICE kits!

[@kamenriderovant9676]

These are like the revised kits from the Kotobukiya versions and you can tell Bandai wanted people to say they made the best version.

[@Azunatsu]

THE VANISHING TROOPER

[@cktommyc3323]

I thought I never saw the day this kit with a Bandai logo on it. I think there was a story on this that Sunrise threatened to pull Gundam out of SRW game because of the design of this.

[@azizabdul8914]

it's funny that they did an in-universe justification of why it won't appear anymore by having almost all of them destroyed, only to appear again in VTX universe

[@miragebangbravern2024]

More so a rumor really

[@ShinHakumen]

Ah, yes. The OG definitely-not-a-Gundam Personal Trooper. Well, not exactly, since it's the Mk. III. Now, give us the Exbein Ashe so I can make it do mecha Guts poses. Also, *confused Setsuna noises

[@duelgundam]

You're waiting for the Exbein Ashe, I'm waiting for the Ex-Exbein What's better than ONE Blackhole Buster Cannon? *TWO* Blackhole Buster cannons! Also HG Weissritter. Kyousuke needs his partner.

[@GundamSeltsam]

Partner? Like a buddy? (Armored core 6 flashbacks insue)

[@ShinHakumen]

@@GundamSeltsam Well, not exactly. Unless you ship Rusty and 621.

[@GundamSeltsam]

@@ShinHakumen huh😮

[@ShinHakumen]

@@GundamSeltsam Alteisen and Weissritter's pilots are a couple.

[@WindigoTP]

I hope Bandai's going to make all sorts of mechs from SRW OG. But if not, then we at least need to take a couple of steps back to Huckebeins 008 and 009, take a step sideways to Exbein and ultimately get to Exexbein. Oh, and we NEED to get the Boxer Frame along the way.

[@Scudboy17]

I just hope they keep making SRW kits. I'd kill for an affordable, high quality Dygengaurd and Grungust.

[@miragebangbravern2024]

​@@Scudboy17Dygenguar has already been released, I own it

[@matteste]

I am hoping for things such as the Werkbau and Dis Astranagant.

[@dispersion7134]

Ive been so invested in gunpla and i was just watching your other videos, keep up the good reviews :)

[@MechaGaikotsu]

Thanks!

[@Amuro1X]

There's a good reason the head has that crazy articulation, and it's called the AM Gunner.

[@beamknight87]

Of course the Huckebein Mk III made by Katoki is the pinnacle of the Gundams. Wait for the Boxer and Gunner frames

[@bobbyprasetyo6914]

Bandai already released the Gunner, but it's premium...

[@thomasreagor1706]

The AM Gunner if I'm not mistaken is a P-Bandai exclusive. I haven't seen anything indicating that they are working on the AM Boxer. Another channel (wotafa) showed off the Mk III with the AM Gunner. He even tried to recreate that scene from SRW OG The Inspectors with the Boxer (Kotobukiya kit) using the Gunner.

[@fantastiCkiLler92]

@@thomasreagor1706 AM Gunner include a "useless" handle grip for nothing and a longer stand piece....That is indication.

[@davidsudjana]

​@@thomasreagor1706 the gunner comes with parts for the boxer, its still in development

[@Chris-df5se]

Huh strange that u didn't even mentioned the hg am gunner, that looks badass

[@vawx-]

In a way, this is like HG Ver. KA

[@MechaGaikotsu]

Don't give bandai any ideas

[@phantomzero906]

They’ll just call that line the “High Grade Next Evolution” aka the HGNE.

[@angelarch5352]

Very nice! I love the ability to look up with the neck, wow! Such a simple thing but I was surprised how much of a difference it made in your posing.

[@ultimaterex]

Awesome review! As a long time Super Robot Taisen/Wars fan, I'm very excited that these are coming out so frequently. For the weapons, you could perhaps include some of the gameplay footage ( eg huckebein mkiii attacks, plenty of youtube videos available) to give an extra dimension to what the weapons actually do. Would add some flavour for people new to the series for sure!

[@MrJans3n]

God I wish these SRW kits (or really an non-Gundam Gunpla) weren't so expensive

[@arsenicsulfide7549]

This being so good makes excited to see more SRW HG kits. Hoping the Astranagant (and Dis Astranagant) get something someday.

[@Franky_Sthein]

Dis Astranagant would be awesome to have. Wonder what it would cost with all the stuff it pulls of in Alpha 3. I mean: Funnels, Shotgun, Scythe, back mounted cannons that rip you apart with black holes and a weapon that returns you to nothing powered by the souls of the dead. Man......why no Dis Astranagant in newer SRW games?

[@Baddest_of_Men]

Well, as far as I know, the Astrnagant is already a thing and available for purchase. I recall seeing both a Kotobukiya kit and a Bandai kit of it. Not sure about the Dis Astranagant, though.

[@Matanumi]

And greater that bandai is making them. Koyobukia is trash

[@arsenicsulfide7549]

@@Baddest_of_Men I might be wrong, but the only Astranagant kit is an old koto kit, and those tend to be... not great. Definitely more of a display piece than anything else, and note something to just build and display as is, either.

[@Baddest_of_Men]

@@arsenicsulfide7549 Ah, I think you're right, my bad. Well, I hope they release it sooner or later, along with the other major villains.

[@the_nightmare_anime7869]

I hope that we will see more 15+ plus kit (possibly gundam)

[@matteste]

Seriously, I hope that they one day make HG's of the Werkbau and Dis Astranagant from the Alpha 3 game. Kaneko's designs deserve more love.

[@BassGSothertype]

Just a note about not the MK-III but the pilot, the chosen main character of SRW Alpha, they possess a telekinetic power so strong that they were able to nullify the Angel's Halo from V Gundam *BY THEM SELVES*, a mental weapon powered by 1 Newtype and 20k Psychickers was nullified by a single person.

[@la0slegend]

I recently got the Daizenga/Dygengaur model kit and was super happy with it. I'm thinking there is a trend with Bandai SRW kits being really good. Can't wait to get my hands on this one.

[@MarySoryu]

tbh ive always seen more of a Victory design in the Huckebeins, mainly because of the legs, but i definitely see the wing similarities more now

[@Matanumi]

Perhaps wing and victory together

[@arturlange6948]

i hope for grungust. Nice video. love your reviews.

[@mattstraus8799]

I was wondering how you keep your displays clean and tidy, do you have a weekly or monthy regimen on dusting them or do you just clean as needed? Also big fan really enjoy your depth and quality! Definitely my top go too for gunpla review!

[@FoNgThOnG]

All these amazing new kits and I just don't have the time anymore to build them lol I still have a backlog I need to let go.

[@MAzK001]

It actually looks like a recoloured Duel Assault Shroud at first glance

[@MegaOS_Ver_NEET]

Huckenbein-Mk3. i dunno if anyone have posted this but the 2 rifles are the Gravition Rifle(the longer Rilfe) and the Photon Rifle(the rifle that looked like magazine fed). the weapon that's usually mounted on the left arm is called Fang Slasher. Think of it as a better version of the T-Link Slash Rippers, used by MP Gespenst mk-2 Type-TT, which is a T-link system (which is basically the bio-sensor built for Psychodrivers, SRW's newtypes.) version that was based on the normal Slash Rippers from the Gespenst Line(i dunno if OG-verse develop this on their own or a certain world hopper sneakily released the plan). the Mk-3 has 2 add-on weapon pack. the AM Gunner and the AM-Boxer for Range and Melee focus mission pack respectively. AM Gunner gives the Mk-3 more missiles and 4 Gravition Cannons while the AM Boxer gives it an exo-frame that enhances both punching and kicking power and able to transform into a "surfboard" like mode that got beam emitters at the front side. fun fact, the AM boxer was planned to be SRX's alternative sword in the form of R-Sword(yes, like R-Gun, it was supposed to be a transformable, piloted personal trooper[PT]. their version of Mobile suits). but it was scrapped into it's curret form due to the Mk-3's development was faster than the SRX's. Thus the AM boxer's most powerful attack is basically what's left of the R-Sword's capable off after the refit.

Ohh my god..and here im waiting for mine to arrive..maybe gonna paint mine into trombe colour scheme

[@azizabdul8914]

ah, it has no Boxer module, but that would inflate the price. still, i prefer Huckebein Mk-I and the Black Hole Cannon

[@kyousakee]

I used to have the Kotobukiya version of the MK3 that was included in the Boxer version... boy that was an unpleasant hand grenade of a build experience. so glad the stability and poseability on this version is vastly better.

I cant tell you how much I want an Hückbein 30th

[@SoulstrikerV]

So which Gundams have the defensive abilities needed to block/endure an attack from Huckebein Mk-III's Graviton Rifle? Because that's not your common beam rifle right there.

[@arx3516]

The Huckebein is a strange beast, it feels like a real robot when put beside sonething like Shin Dragon, and feels like a super robot when put beside sonething like the Victory Gundam.

[@aero981]

Great kit! I think I'd just to add that it seems a bit dumb that you can pre-order something on HLJ but then you can wait months and it wont come anyways. They should just stop pre-orders if they couldn't meet up with the demand

[@YamateYT]

Will you be getting around to the HG Dygenguar next?

[@Dorda098]

I've been eyeing this kit since I first saw it, it's looked interesting and it's nice to know that it's apparently pretty good, too. Was wondering if I was going to get this or the Mk-II, but I think I might get this instead! Also holy crap that neck... Whoa...

[@eternal0608]

[@AndreaDoesYoga]

🤔 Your video really got me rethinking HG Gundam kits! 🤖

[@GreyFox23]

Heck yeah! Huckebein! The most gundam looking mecha in that series. It had some awesome variants too.

[@Courto13]

Never seen the SRW series but this looks just like a gundam version of the weltall from xenogears! Just might have to throw down all the money to get this guy, always loved the weltall design

[@AzraelThanatos]

SRW is basically dump as many mecha universes into the same place, shake and come up with a few stories from the aftermath of adding a a handful of unique mecha to it. Gundam is part of it already

[@Franky_Sthein]

@@AzraelThanatos Not in the OG Line....that are unique storys and mechas. But in the games, especially the Alpha series, it is kind of a mismash although a cool one. Seeing EVA-01 fighting together with Wing Zero and GaoGaigar is weirdly awesome.

[@nicodalusong149]

The Super Robot Wars series can be summed up as "the most overly indulgent yet sensible official mecha fanfic to exist".

[@MrDarksol]

I was just talking with a friend about how I would love to get a good chunk of these super robot wars kits if I wasn't waiting for the armored core 6 model kits to be announced because man, does it suck. Because these have been sounding really really good to want to have especially since I don't know when we're gonna get a new super robot wars game or at least one that will be better than the recent super robot wars 30 that came out like a few years ago and while these are a bit bigger than Gundams, I'm sure these will fit perfectly in a collection with them so you can have your own little super robot war. That being said this one is definitely still as cool as the previous version and the Altaisen and thank god these model kits all have action bases. Will definitely be on a look out for some of these!

[@lforc3829]

I think you put this on the platinum tier playlist

[@Gatherway-Duo]

I wasn't particularly excited for this when it was announced. If they were to release the Boxer parts, it'd be a different story. Since they're releasing the AM Gunner to go with it, hopefully that's the route they're on.
