[@gtafan110010]

I love the heavyarms design. It's one of the most heavily armed gundams ever that ISN'T over designed. Soooo many gundams that wear a lot of weaponry just become mobile bricks and it doesn't appeal. But heavyarms managed to still look mobile in spite of all the weapons. Thank god.

[@dcxblade7632]

Especially when it can flip around with acrobatics like its pilot, Trowa Barton, when at his "Circus Career" , point can also be proven from playing Gundam Versus btw.

[@ninetailedninja7115]

Well it is *GUN*the mobile suit

[@dcxblade7632]

Still wish the gundam HeavyArms "Kai" was an actual build. You know the double barreled beam gattling weapon it uses in space combat?

[@Spaced92]

That's actually why my favourite suit besides the Tallgeese from Wing was the Sandrock. It's one of the least popular suits because it doesn't have a lot going on compared to the others, but it's just a near indestructible command unit with giant Shotel that operates in extreme conditions. That's mostly it besides like two missiles and the supporting mobile suits.

5:30 Those Sandrock hands that make you think of Kamen Rider Kuuga are left over intentionally more or less to give him the Wing's Beam Saber, or for a potential P-Bandai Heavyarms Kai that comes with an entire stripped-down left arm with a Beam Saber holder. In reference to Heero's duel with Zechs in the Heavyarms.

[@shad0wguy]

I never really thought about it before now, but Trowa's head must rattle like crazy when those chest gattlings fire. He would be seated just below them if I am not mistaken.

[@Watch_over_us]

Maybe but mr expressionless would never show it 😂 i think canonically he is the strongest pilot since heero was unable to lift the left arm properly meanwhile trowa can wield the double beam gattling while flipping around the battlefield no problem

I just built this one today. My one nitpick is the muzzles for the gatling don't line up with the barrels; but other than that, it's a simple kit that manages to look cartoony and badass at the same time.

[@LeeONardo]

I left this exact comment about the barrels a few years ago for this vid. So it seems Bandai has never corrected the issue. However, if you purchase the Heavyarms kai (twin gatling) P Bandai kit the barrels are actually built correct for that version.

A little thing I did with my HG Heavyarms was change how the knife is on the arm, I made it so that when the knife is flipped out, the sharp side is pointing down and away from the hand as opposed to it normally being towards the hand.

[@OtonashiV]

In terms of HG polycaps, the 2013 PC-002 that debuted with the HG Build Strike is the newest set. It's really just a streamlined, condensed version of the PC-001 polycaps that debuted with the HG 00 Gundam in 2008. Since many joints are now soft PS on PS, many of the PC-001 polycaps are no longer necessary. Articulation-wise, these are the polycap runners that originally enabled some ridiculous posing possibilities in the HG line.
