The Coolest Gundam Ever? Maybe! - HG Gundam Heavyarms Review

[@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.

[@amirazhar8377]

The gundam boyband is coming together.....

[@CecilValeProductions]

I mean they're releasing HGAC Gundam Deathscythe next year and we'll probs get the p-bandai release of HGAC Heavyarms Kai next year too like how they're releasing the p-bandai HGAC Sandrock Kai next year

I bet there will be many out there buying 2 of this kit just to swap the left arm with the one that can mount the weapon just to get a double gatling arms. INCLUDING ME.

[@Treveyon2010]

Only two. Pfft. I'd buy three. That way I can have a normal, double gatling, and dual knife arms.

[@npc6817]

sorry for raining on your parade but you can't swap the gatling arm, if you mount the forearm piece on the right the gatling sits with the shield on the inside.

An RG... It would be nice, but I don't think it'd be too likely. Just being honest.

[@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.

[@TroyLament]

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

[@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.
