booby gatlings, a weapon to surpass metal gear.

[@a.p.studios8713]

i can imagine an austin powers fan making a custom of this suit 💀

[@Quote_ation]

the only weapon for the pick me girl of CE

[@zg0k361]

Best comment

[@kirasatoshi905]

But no weapon have surpassed the Metal Gear, yet...

[@RockOrso2]

Man, looking forward to the Sasaki siblings cooking something up for this Gyan.

[@wilsonng994]

I have to agree. Can't wait to see what they have got planning something cool for this Cosmic Era Gyan variant.

[@Vegadra]

Honestly, I can see it being customized as a wizard like MS. The Gyalin.

[@kamenriderovant9676]

Well the Build universe's game Gundam Breaker 4 has to sell well to justify another Build series after Metaverse's poor reception.

[@Matanumi]

I just enjoy seeing a modern HG CE beam axe

[@Brianuuuu]

Ahh yes, the mobile suit piloted by Flay Allster 2: Electric Boogaloo

[@MasterSwo-MK]

Come on bro, don't do Flay dirty like that. Agnus is more a Quess 2.0 anyway.

[@Dynasty0612]

Agnes is Quess 2.0 not Flay 2.0 Flay actually has some character development.

[@foxtopuscreations6046]

Get ready for it to go on sale like the Michaelis

[@kuroshirou8798]

​@@MasterSwo-MKbecuz same voice of flay

[@UMIF001]

Flay is atleast understandable why she become like that

[@AdamQueen]

seed freedom kit while the background is Zeta. And the original design is from 0079.

[@Matanumi]

Seed was always good at paying homage to UC while doing its own thing.... Although ZAFT going away from Ginns,Cgues and Guaiz at the end of seed kinda sucks- they had their own designs and traded those away for these "millennium series" throw backs

[@kamenriderovant9676]

​@@MatanumiThe throwback/piggy back/lazy designs are the CE's Turn A markers. I would also agree ZAFTcould have had some original development progressions like the other factions in CE.

[@kaitoyuki]

​@@kamenriderovant9676haven't seen Turn A yet. Enlighten me.

[@OtonashiV]

@@kaitoyuki maybe the fact that they straight up use zaku IIs and Kapool/Capules (or possibly replicas of them) due to finding them buried in the ground

[@abdulrahmanazmi7042]

5:42 that Gyan in art work using atmosphere backpack while in model kit use space backpack. If you want the atmosphere backpack, you should wait for Hilda's version of Gyan. Hilda's version use atmosphere backpack.

[@StratosXGaming]

Or you can just use gelogoog menace backpack instead

[@kapitanjisun]

Hilda's Gyan Strom is pb. so sad

[@piscesplayer9473]

"Machinegun jublies, how did I miss those?" - Austin Powers

[@BattleManiac7]

God I love that shield. A shield with people is as much a weapon as a sword, and Gundam does have melee shields (built in beam claws,el etc) but the beam around the rim means it can actually do a shield bash and do real damage.

[@marcosdheleno]

the best part is how it makes like a design that fits the seed universe. the irony is, this looks like a far better implementation to what the age 1 titus tried to do, but without looking goofy. it really feels like an evolution of the beam boomerang, with the throwable shield of the rising freedom or immortal justice.

[@OtonashiV]

The lineart shown is with the atmospheric pack (included with the HG Gelgoog Menace), while the HG Gyan Strom includes the space pack. You can swap the backpacks and have Lunamaria's Gelgoog Menace when Hilda uses it in space. The 2 suits canonically share a bunch of weapons (Lunamaria's Gelgoog with the extended barrel version of the rifle, Agne's Gyan with the normal version) and feature similar construction as complementary next-gen suits, so it's nice to see that reflected in the kits. The Seed Freedom kits have among the highest parts counts for regular HGs and certainly don't skimp on the actual amount of colored plastic. If you focus on the degree of color separation it does have, then it surpasses that of G-Witch HGs. It's only when you focus on what colors are missing compared to the overdesigned line art that you start to think of them as "lacking" color separation. By that logic, Bandai could just as easily design a mobile suit in a single color and have a perfectly color-accurate kit. Is that what people actually want? Personally, I don't even like how the proper wing trim colors look on the 2 versions of the bolelo pack. It's too busy and doesn't feel realistic/doesn't seem to serve a purpose in-universe.

[@MasterSwo-MK]

Honestly, the only sticker I'd consider a "Must use" here would be the red ones. Beyond that, it looks perfectly fine OOB, so I'll be going that way.

[@lil_wooper1871]

This thing definitely gives off some escaflowne vibes

[@michaelduran6110]

cool, this hg seed line is really on another level of design

[@victorvilla5524]

The beam axe looks similar to the type that the Slash Zaku Phantom had, obviously a new mold though. And like the Gelgoog Menace, the Gyan's back looks like it can accept Wizard Packs.

[@Zachafinackus]

I just picked this one up from my local con this past weekend as my first model, and I really like it! Fell in love with the axe and shield combo. I decided to go with the Eclipse next after watching anther of your vids, just waiting for it to arrive. I was okay with the stickers except for the smallest ones that go into the missile pods on the backpack and the eye one, those are just too finicky to get done well and i didn't bother.

[@usedtissuepaper42]

The head has a notch on its back that allows you to get a good grip on it. The real limitation to its posing is the collar which gets in the way a lot.

[@bradenhart2592]

I just ordered mine I'm extra excited now it looks great ! 💯

[@zeroxexe111]

Ouch! stickers for tiny piece ✨️omg also beautiful for lack of use of stickers but still auper vibrant!

[@randomnetizen7065]

Mine will arrived in next 3 weeks.. Cannot wait for this

[@KamishirasawaKatori]

Gyan Strom and Cal-re.A gotta be 2 of my favorite non Gundam from the movie. Except the funny name Bolero backpack, this is a really solid design and a worthy update for the old school Gyan. M'Quve would be proud

[@marcosdheleno]

i really liked the duel blitz. hands down my favorite new suit. the gyan is ALMOST perfect, but i was never a fan of the pointy head. outside ofthat, the shield is just gorgeous. i love how they modernized it. really feel like a worthy upgrade. and genuinely looks like a far better implementation of that idiotic gundam age 1 titus nonsense into a functional design.

[@douggoins2960]

Just placed an order for this kit. I'll finally have completed the Yamato team in HG form. I just need to make my mind up on the color scheme for it

[@alvinshaw33]

Very nice looking. Hope they put these out in MG.

[@kingbarrythegreat]

Amazing suit really hope in the new gundam breaker game would love to use this as a base for main unit

[@zeroxexe111]

Also hype hype! Hype!!! Now I gotta buy this beauty dang it mechagaikotsu!❤❤❤

[@duskwolf4232]

a platinum tier kit coming from a platinum tier movie nothing better than that

[@TapuMacky]

We are now all awaiting for the Destiny Spec II + Zeus Silhouette. Hoping they also corrected the few concerns of the original HG Destiny.

[@dalewilliams7456]

Now that is dope!!

[@Claytronpbr427]

Machine gun jublies, austin powers must be proud.

[@watashiwabryan3741]

Happy to see the HG Penelope again used for size comparisons. Hahahahaha

[@UselessFox224]

If you want a another good posing Gyan jut you should try to get ahold of a revive Gyan kit, although old it's a kit that can hold itself REALLY well for today standards

[@dranrebdust6067]

Man I love the Gyan line

[@TheMattTrakker]

I don't buy HG kits anymore, but if they end up releasing a standalone weapons pack with that shield, I would consider picking that up. Cool accessory.

[@marcosdheleno]

this kit comes with so many cool stuff, its worthy just for them alone. specially that shield. the beam halberd is always a great weapon for any mech you throw it on and the same can be said about its gyan classic beam saber.

[@Muppet567]

I'm glad that this kit uses a more standard shoulder ball joint.

[@simpleanswer8954]

Too bad that ball joint is nested in a part that has a seam... which is in turn nested in another part with a seam. 2024 and Bandai still cuts corners all over the place. They did a great job in avoiding seams in the weapons, even the rifle only has a few spots that aren't incorporated as panel lines. That layered shoulder is just cheap lazy design.

[@aPopcap]

Just saying, the illustration you compared for accuracy, was comparing the atmospheric pack drawing, not the space pack, which the kit uses

[@zeroxexe111]

Also i hate to keep harping, but the concept ideas for seed are most awesome! ❤❤❤

[@RevanR]

11:54 is this me or that beam sword handle looks like a -17th century soup ladle- toilet plunger

[@ceecee130x]

Rambal Ral, "This is no [robot], boy! No [robot]!" 😂

[@matthewguthrie3729]

Just want to mention I'm pretty sure the kit uses the Space pack and the image you showed was the Flight pack so the grey is inaccurate

[@HarmonyEdge]

Can the eye sticker be replaced with the lens sticler from the 30MM option lens?

[@NeoSlashott]

You can duel it with Shenlong Gundam with a Frisbee-shield throw match! 😋

[@WinkelManBearPig]

When you gonna build the Avatar Fumina?

[@sunmakergg]

what a divisive suit

[@huh2340]

Are the hip joints compatible with WFM kits?

[@shiro-neko1848]

This seed freedom line is literally making the sticker as an useless thing(unless for the head camera) since they looks better with no sticker instead

[@marcosdheleno]

it really depend, on the mighty freedom, the pink stikers for the inside of the wings look amazing when put on.

[@GundamSpotlight]

COOL COOL COOL!

[@raptorshiranui984]

I wait with excitation the mighty strike freedom

[@diegomagtibay8900]

so does this mean that this is the first female gyan since it looks quite feminine (besides the bf designs) because it was piloted by Agnes

[@marcosdheleno]

no, technically, the build series did the female gyan first.

[@angelomendoza1174]

Slight correction: It's The OG "Zeon" Knight Reimagined!

[@DinobotMaximize]

Maybe the Transformers fan of me but I get the impression of Cyclonus from this. Which saying I could see doing a custom version

[@kamenriderovant9676]

This Gyan's shield...Thank you Gallantmon/Dukemon.

[@berrybear177]

What a coincidence I’m about to build my universal century Gyan from the original Gundam

[@shawnyang5436]

I need a MG of this kit! Please Bandai PLEASE.

[@fevymihaf1969]

Bro plss review HGCE Strike Freedom

[@Smilomaniac]

Very much enjoy the 'unironic cool' factor of this. Would've liked it to be darker grey instead of the... cream? Extremely light grey? Would've liked the blue to be more steely as well, but it's okay. Fun stuff, especially with the equipment!

[@armandocalleta3710]

You might know already but there will be a P Bandai version with darker grey I think

[@Smilomaniac]

@@armandocalleta3710 I didn't, thanks.

[@TheSprul85]

What is the number for the box?

[@RainingHujan___]

Take a shot everytime mgk says "ridiculous" in this video

[@20Meister]

The mobile suit - Awesome! The pilot - She belongs to the streets!

[@ricardorunos9782]

I personally used a yellow beam for the saber/rapier. Feels more appropriate for a Gyan derivative. Also, I was interested in this the moment I saw it in the trailer.

[@marcosdheleno]

that shield right?

[@ricardorunos9782]

@@marcosdheleno Yep! How its beam field basically turns it into a buzzsaw! And this is not the first time I've seen an energy buzzsaw shield. That would go to that Dukemon/Gallantmon Amplified kit.

[@littlejigjig764]

This mech hasn't came out in austraila yet I realy wanna get it but scalper price is 120 aud bro

[@senchyou4056]

cool one

[@a.p.studios8713]

I was so looking forward to the gyan storm (THAT SHIELD) but after finding out the pilot was basically flay pt 2 I said screw it, used some leftover hgbd ogre gnx shoulder and kampfer chain mines, and made my own wired beam chakram shield

[@MatthewLoh-ru1mw]

Not only Flay 2. 0, but a TRAITOR as well

[@ironkeko4423]

I regret not pre ordering this Kit, I bought an MG Aile Strike Instead

[@rigelmacaraig8437]

i feel silly for saying this but....... erhm... actually its Gyan Strom 🤓

[@jonathansalazar4630]

Did enyone else had Quess vibes from Agnes? Because I did

[@MatthewLoh-ru1mw]

To me, more like Flay 2.0 (same VA as well...)

[@rhyssuy8361]

the white power mobile suit

[@shiro-neko1848]

NOW I WANT A SEED VERSION OF GAZA D OR SAZABI, GEARA ZULU ALSO GOOD THO

[@whiteraven1992]

I hated the character piloting it, but this GYAN Strom is easily one of the movie's better designs, alongside the Z'GOK disguise for Athrun's Infinite Justice upgrade.

[@shitposting722]

GYAAAN

[@jonathanyanes4522]

With gold instead of som blue and Gyanko would be proud. 😂

[@elaina9754]

Why storm but in the box it says strom whats the real one( I havent watch the movie so maybe its my mistake too sorry)

[@rx-105xigundam2]

I think Strom as in Maelstrom

[@kristoffermangila]

There's a gonna be Zeon fans that would paint it in M'quve colors, right?

[@G1Grimlock94]

Just like the original Gyan

[@achaoPSG]

You know, I don't get why putting on stickers is seen as a such a chore. Here, they seem pretty easy to put. And overall, I can't remember High Grades setting up such a standard of parts/color separation before.

[@JJK420]

looks like a chess piece bishop turned into a giant robot

[@marcosdheleno]

i mean, that's literaly what it the original gyan was based on.

[@aldenencluna6409]

Nice.

[@secondlast322]

Nice

[@bobbyprasetyo6914]

I'm just nitpicking but it always kinda bugs everytime I see a stored version of a weapon magically makes 70% of the weapon's component dissapeared.. it doesn't make any sense 🙄

[@animodominus1034]

IMO you should just put the stickers on.. i mean if you're not really painting it at least? is it really better than showing it like this? Idk.. i have a couple of seed kits and it the end is worth it imo. Of course i would rather paint them if i could..

[@vustvaleo8068]

it is still strange that SEED Destiny all of a sudden ZAFT named their Mobile Suits after Universal Century Zeon units while other Gundam alternate universes at best only has the same model number but not the actual MS's name.

[@pixelmace1423]

Is that Cyclonus from The Transformers: The Movie (1986)?!!????!!!!

[@rikisalim6438]

"New gyan appear" "Insert joke about M'quve"

[@MatthewLoh-ru1mw]

And Flay 2.0

[@TheGeekyHusband]

Whats the difference between this & the Pbandai one?

[@michyoungie]

Aside from colors (Agnes vs Hilda colors), the P-Bandai one has the atmospheric pack which is included with the Gelgoog Menace and just swap out the gun for a missile pod. This retail Agnes ver. Has the space pack (atmospheric has two jet wings, space has two thrusters)

[@elvrayn]

i like knight gundam

[@RADkate]

ah nice the gyatalorian

[@dolphinojisan4424]

Hot damn. Never been this early before

[@QATHSUME]

Its a rotary machine gun...... Go BRAP BRAP BRAP WAPAPAPAPAPAAPAPA!

[@Cypher.]

I know it's minor, but it's actually Strom, not Storm.

[@WhatAreULookingAt816]

Can you please review hguc gyan please triple double pretty please 🥺

[@gamerkingdom1442]

Not my cup of tea, but it is a good design. Especially since you could make phenomenal customization with its parts!

[@GeremyG]

It was really cool in the movie

[@MatthewLoh-ru1mw]

Too bad the pilot of this MS is a Flay 2.0

[@lordsyazaiman3932]

Can't decide either gelgoog or this kit

[@GundamSeltsam]

Get the gelgoog well it depends, if you want more melee then get the gyan if you want ranged weapons and a railgun for your destiny then you get the gelgoog

[@kirasatoshi905]

Just buy both. That's what I did.

[@xnflg3074]

good looking kit for something piloted by an even shittier less justified version of flay

[@MatthewLoh-ru1mw]

Too bad, this is what you get

[@calebharch7229]

Cmon Bandai, new movie, give us some new master grades to go along with it! Or at least some new full mechanics kits... I'm losing it here man.

[@12_rickydavidson75]

Love the ms, but screw the pilot tho

[@mightyrobot42]

I'd say that the Michaelis works better as an updated Gyan than this does. One of the distinctive design aspects of the Gyan was how rounded many parts of it were, and this suit has none of that. If it weren't for the visor shape I'd never have even considered this to be a Gyan.

[@marcosdheleno]

could not disagree more. thing is, this doesnt look like an evolution of the gyan, it looks like an in between of the gyan krieger and the gyan kai.

[@kendallholt9840]

Isn't Strom not Storm?

[@GundamGuy50]

Hi mecha !!!!

[@setsunafseiei4745]

Amazing Review

[@hellfire2023]

my brain rot read the tittle as "HG Gyatt Storm Review" :|

[@RiderOmega]

Minor nitpick that it's Strom not Storm. Fun fact that Strom is a word for river. I believe it's german.

[@ratamahatta5306]

i took my wife to see the movie last week, and she called agnes "the bitch" 🤣

[@nazrulnadziruddin9641]

Gyanko's next upgrade

[@MechaGaikotsu]

If there's another Build series, they need to give this kit the Gyanko treatment!
