[@jayisabird6031]

Mecha, the big axe blades can be fold into a scythe-esque shape. It's pretty cool, idk why you didn't include it

[@Tetsuzanko]

Mecha forgot moments

[@alexdavy3352]

@@Tetsuzanko yeah seams like he’s got a list of videos he wants done by the end of the year and trying to grind them out this one was probably a little rushed

[@slippinjenny7410]

He averages one mistake / big omission per video lol

[@fnargler]

I was just going to mention this as well. It's not as cool as the axe IMO, but it's a neat option.

[@michyoungie]

To be fair that's not something the Slash Zaku can normally do, and was just something the MG added so I can forgive him missing that.

[@pubambapumba1680]

09:07 the "SLASH phantom" and "GUNNER" its actually the backpack name , the zaku just zaku with variety of wizard pack attached as their pilot specific role in the war

[@wayjohn]

Yeah but it’s easier to call them the name of the backpack

[@ChrisTian-sd5yq]

Are those considered wizard packs???

[@kolinmartz]

I really wish regular seed Zakus were released as a regular release

[@dr.bright6272]

That Mobile Suit is a thing of beauty.

[@UMIF001]

If I'm not mistaken There's also a GINN in MG Freedom 2.0 box art

[@alfreddenos9625]

Ketemu kau lagi

[@77Bakuhatsu]

You are not wrong, GINN hype trainnn

[@muisverriet]

MG Ginn has already been shown.

[@evanmcgavran6114]

Just wanted to say thank you for pumping out all these reviews over the holidays

[@carlorielmendez6505]

All these years, never knew seed pilots have sexcams

[@LinusStrawn-ju4lo]

That’s why it’s called Seed

[@Joshua_N-A]

Imagine Domon scream at the top of his lungs while slashing everyone with the naginata saying they're SOFT! Also GuAIZ series when Bandai?

[@Joshua_N-A]

@@Feroce Experimental Firearms Type needs at leat an RE/100. Recently MG GINN has been announced. GuAIZ R, love that hip rail. Should've been the true successor to GINN imo. Could've been the Geara Zulu of CE too. I like the GuAIZ's design more than the ZAKU and GOUF because it gives more originality to CE while inspiring from UC. The DINN being fast also means it lightly armored and possibly the Kampfer's CE equivalent. It even got a shotgun.

[@noahriemer2381]

This has to be my favorite Zaku design

[@_MARC0_40]

Yeah, this and the psycho zaku

[@OtherMomo]

Words like "and", "of", "for", etc are used or dropped as needed when making an acronym.

[@npc6817]

Unless they make it cooler

[@ADBXoon]

the "beam saber" like effect is for the other end of the pole axe and the tomahawks (in the anime) should be stored inside each shield top part, but I don’t see a slot for that on the vid

[@strf90105]

It doesn't have that. They sacrificed that gimmick to keep price down and keep proportions

[@fishpop]

@@strf90105 So that's why the axe doesn't store in the shield... Still dumb though, Master Grades are meant to be the best kit at an affordable price so they should do everything the MS is capable of.

[@fishpop]

@Ardy P That's why i said "Best kits *at an affordable price*" PGs are stupid expensive.

[@strf90105]

Bandai loves doing pseudo MGs now. The Jegan was also a cheap MG and I bet the jinn coming out is also a cheaped out MG. They're like how LEO kits were compared to most HG

[@unfilteredwater3476]

Didn't you say that the giveaway for the MG Barbatos expansion set would happen on the next P-Bandai review

[@rx-93nugundam20]

This is no Zaku, boy, it's a ZAFT Armed Keeper of Unity!

[@fernandogonzalez6759]

yes my pal is not a zaku is a Z.A.K.U for short

[@Gatherway]

The best part is that ZAFT is already an acronym, so technically the full name is Zodiac Alliance of Freedom Treaty Armed Keeper of Unity.

[@yak8786]

In acronyms small words like of are often dropped

[@adhityaza8693]

OOO MMMM GGGG I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS REVIEW SINCE IT WAS ANNOUNCE, THANK YOU SO MUUUCCCHHH

[@10poundsofcarp]

The Zaku Phantom is a commander variant of the Zaku Warrior. And the naming of the Zaku is dependent of the wizard packs (backpack) it is carrying. (i.e. Slash Zaku Warrior or Slash Zaku Phantom, Gunner Zaku Warrior or Gunner Zaku Phantom, Blaze Zaku Warrior or Blaze Zaku Phantom"

[@ZhaneX24]

The lack of storage for the beam tomahawks is my biggest issue with this kit (and the Luna). In the anime, they could slot into alcoves in the shoulder-shields, but for whatever reason, the models lack these :/ Pretty disappointing omission on otherwise great kits.

[@last_raven]

The beam axe is also a scythe. You just rotate it. Worth making note of

[@shockbladezed1871]

For me the zakus in gundam seed destiny have always been the best zakus because their design just gives the awesomeness that the uc version lacked because of their plain design

[@NeonZaku]

I think I love both for different reasons, the SEED Zakus seem a lot more badass and powerful whereas the UC Zaku's seem more militaristic and perfect for mass production

[@whiteraven1992]

The GINN we see in this MG P-Bandai kit's boxart appears to be the "GINN High Maneuver Type II", which were stolen & used by renegades during the "Break The World" incident in SEED Destiny.

[@hypershock0storm479]

Probably gonna be P-Bandai.

[@whiteraven1992]

@@hypershock0storm479 Yeah, it's likely.

[@HidaAtarasi]

There’s a hole in the other end of the giant axe, does the extra beam effect fit in there? Also, I think the giant axe blades are supposed to swivel around; like a giant scythe, unless I’m remembering the promotional pictures wrong.

[@fernandogonzalez6759]

no, you are right... the battleaxe have a scythe mode

[@VinceHobby-cg5ts]

6:15 , yesss that was from RG sinanju runner axe effect part

[@androyus]

0:38 That's the picture of GINN Type High Maneuver 2, Not the regular GINN that we'll get the MG soon. But there's always P-Bandai later down the line 😆.

[@kueapel911]

those shields reminds me of kshatriya a lot... except that it needs 2 more of em but still, I love it more than the asymmetric one.

[@Rakuru687]

I love these videos keep up the good work Mecha

[@panchielchido5567]

Yes! Just when it's my lunch break BTW please review the MG Sazabi Ver Ka

[@kaisermosasaurus6405]

He has rated it as gold tier, but no review.

[@seanwaller2386]

The beams for the halberd are likely from the RE100 Nightingale, which uses all 3 beams on the saber at once

[@jewilliams13jw]

Yo mecha did u end getting the metal frame for this kit. I ended up getting on since it seemed back heavy

[@marcosdheleno]

in te anime those tomahawks are stored inside a hole on the top of the shield, its a hidden compartment that works kinda like a toaster.

[@crakerlol2274]

Hey mecha we really appreciate you making a daily video but please take a break when you feel like

[@DarkROSkull013]

Man, SEED/Destiny really have cool MS designs...

[@PrinceAkaiVtuber]

Show sucked ass but the MS are one the bests out there

[@Alteczar]

Can't wait for the MG 1/100 Blaze Zaku review

[@TokyoFilthy]

Good to see a Zaku warrior in these reviews :D

[@irtwiaos]

I really hope Bandai does another run of these.

[@qpiekkola1715]

I love this whole run of Zakus

[@Adriel59]

Question, can I take that backpack and throw it on my mg Heavy Arms EW custom? asking for more dakka

[@andrewmai6429]

Do you have a tutorial video of water slide decal application?

[@bisikleta1015]

Lov your vids, but can you show the exact model name of mods at least when first shown your vids? I still couldn't figure out what the red Zaku is after watching 2 of your vids

[@GundamGuy50]

the d-10 part in the shoulder connection on my zaku warrior was so weak and snapped in a day after building so I might need a metal frame

[@SegwayBossk]

I ordered this when I ordered my P-Bandai Varguil. You received and built your Varguil before I got mine. My Slash Zaku has been half built for months, I should probably finish it

[@MasakiHana]

The Beam Tomahawks are stored inside the shields with a supposedly sliding mechanism, don't know why they didn't do that, probably thought it might break the sculpture of the shield.

[@dexexmachinatu4151]

Imo it's just because they cheaped out on this one, same reason why their Wizard Packs aren't that well designed and the Suit itself looks bloated

[@zero195]

I has that Gouf Custom vibe, they just moved the gatling gun from the shield to the back and doubled it.

[@solidsteak]

Yes those do look like the RG Sazabi/Sinanju beam effects on the axe. That might explain the leftover saber effect

[@MasterMarik]

Holy shit, I didn't know this was a kit. I was just looking yesterday for either a phantom Zaku MG or a Gouf Ignited MG and then today I find this. I bet it'll break the bank finding a p-bandai this late after release, but I really want this kit, as I also love the color scheme, and the Duel Gundam as well.

[@bluu9300]

Sadly on my Luna the shoulder joints broke. Any fix ideas are helpful

[@Shahil51]

Man I am so hyped for that Jinn!

[@SoulstrikerV]

Are there any Zaku Wizard packs aside from Gunner, Slash, and Blaze?

[@jabawooka]

really love the blue color!!

[@xeno1453]

Really excited for the upcoming MG Blaze Zaku Phantom

[@alvinshaw33]

I need this kit. The red one is nice tho. Great vid.

[@UMIF001]

Gundam Seed has the sexiest Mobile Suit design

[@EffendiChung]

And one of the worst character design, IMO

[@EffendiChung]

Damn, thats accurate.

[@LittleIAO]

Eh... I wouldn't go that far.

[@rickytoddbotelho9555]

Merry Christmas brah.😄

[@RevanR]

I swear this is could be standard release along side blaze pack

[@hzq.z]

Yzak also pilot a gouf which is in white colour and it is very cool

[@Ra3_ar1adnE]

My face shook for a sec when he mentioned it came with water slides cause I hardly ever see them anymore, unless that’s a p-bandai thing idk.

[@raypang8400]

i need that ginn high maneuver type ii mg. i simply NEED it

[@zerocool4life]

I wanted this kit so bad but didn’t get in on the pbandi order fast enough 😢

[@gavinerickson9392]

The long beam is for the tomahawk, they double as beam sabers.

[@epsilon13th39]

Love mounted gattling, then you should search for armored core weapon unit 008 😀

[@nathcasas359]

They are the sinanju effect parts, the long one doesn't even fit the emitter on the axe.

[@shipmate3577]

Looking forward to the green version.

[@Aku_Dafi]

Is that a piston at the legs ?

[@gesie0504]

That BATTLE AXE! Reminds me of DANTE'S Guitar the NEVAN. 🎸 🦇

Can those shields cover the front with the gatling cannons pointing over the top .

[@cyridath]

yes they can

[@uno23sleep]

I'm just starting this build and the pinkish clear sword beam effects are also warped in my box. I guess it is indeed a manufacturing/packaging defect.

[@Normal.YT.]

Mecha, when are you going to review the other zaku warriors/phantoms?

[@zakhaevshub4735]

Finally you starting to add some sticker in your kit

[@zeruel2490]

Maybe store the beam axes on the spikes on the shields

Yo Mecha, have u seen the zero gravity Forbidden Gundam? Whatchu think bout it? I think 🔥🔥

[@guitarbro1969]

My man said "juul gundam" and i felt that

[@ExDragonMaster]

The way he said it made me realize...Yzak Joule's last name sounds very similar to Duel. Makes me wonder if that was a coincidence.

[@Gunpla_shrimp]

Jewel gundam

[@PakornThaipituk]

In anima, zaku's beam tomahawk is stored inside shoulder shield. Bandai omits this feature.

[@draketheduelist]

Ah, the Zaku Phantom, the Gouf Custom of Seed Zaku Warriors. If you know me as a builder, you'd know the Gouf Custom is my spirit animal, so of course I wanted one of these. Was actually working on a Gouf Custom Warrior modification of my Red Zaku Warrior earlier this year (was going to harvest the minigun from a botched MG Heavyarms)... buuuuuuuut then the pandemic happened and I couldn't spray paint outside anymore, and I don't have the setup in my apartment to spray inside. Boo-urns, better luck next year.

[@yak8786]

U forgot the scythe mode for the weapon

[@jailon2065]

Omg, gundam quest It's you

[@paulnicholascabalhin4844]

Mecha, hope you have the latest variant of this Zaku which is the Rey Za Burrel custom (white/pink/purple) and make a review in the future. 😁
