[@yukimabi5225]

Fun fact the pilot of that is an Ex-Zeon soldier who received the same kind of training from a pilot program that birthed Ace Pilots like the Black Tri-stars and Ramba Ral.

[@knightpaladin9841]

he also really really wants to die

[@skyhunt9595]

Its true. It has a manga call the agressors

[@camaku3084]

Chase yearns to be reunited with old friends

[@NeoSlashott]

Imagine them riding on 4 Fuunsaikis in their respective color and mods. 💀 👴👨‍🦰🤴

[@DragoonMS]

THAT...would actually be pretty SICK!! 😮😮😮😮😮

[@jotreize4325]

Workin on that, just missin a pale rider and the 4 fuunsaikis

[@arcadia1104]

The A.R.I.E.S. System installed in the Red Rider was a prototype system that further led to the development of the H.A.D.E.S. System.

[@knuckles7790]

The big sword would work for a kitbash, especially when it's mounted on an arm.

[@Crazy_Dialga]

I hope these four can get MGs in the future so they can have more "modern" moulds. Also, it would be pretty cool if Gundam Evolution completed the set and added the other three.

[@tomvhresvelg9286]

It would use GM sniper 2's frame and some ground type parts.

[@fanofeverythingsinglething1000]

Man, after watching this, it makes me want to get it but at the same time I don’t know if I should spend my money on another premium Bandai😭

[@fisterblister]

I got mine for 25 dollars

[@rodriark]

It basically comes down to how comfortable are you with the idea of doing a bit of painting and reinforcing some joints. If you aren’t afraid of putting in a little extra effort to make this kit shine it looks like the foundation is all there in terms of surface detail articulation and accessories.

[@Alien_Bob]

What else are you gonna use that money for? Food? Bills? Please!

[@marcelfab7551]

I just finished building the RGM-79S, It does not have much accessories, but it's an updated kit and it and has minimum sticker.

[@1ww2c]

This is worth, I bought 2, 1 for original, 1 for customize

[@LeeONardo]

There is actually a small added detail also added into the Zweihander - to the side of the handle are three little holes, these are three launcher holes containing tiny spears/needles connected to cables, these are used in one of it's fight to trip up an enemy mobile suit. For the question of the gunblade having it's handle in the flintlock fashion, it's to give you the balance of it being a rifle handle and also a sword handle as it's close to being level with the blades for a more ergonomic fit. Overall it's a good kit, comes with a ton of excess parts allowing you customise it if you wish, you can give it a matching red backpack which will make it resemble the GBO2 render version more, you can have it with two waist mounted sabers if you wish etc ...

[@viperson9818]

Thanks for the review. I was gonna build my copy and now I'm prepared to paint it. The pale rider variants were my first HG I painted and I definitely agree these kits details are much better painted stickers are straight bad then the usual. I do wish their unique decal came with a water slide too.

[@redwardranger7034]

I don't use that open hand because it was meant for the Blue Destiny series, and I feel like those back hand covers are brittle. Also my only problem with this kit is SO MANY EXCESS PARTS, especially those unique parts for Red that are identical to Pale but just a few holes different

[@twistermaster5638]

Happy to see you doing the full team

[@arcadia1104]

It really makes me cry seeing the Red Rider, the pilot "Chase Skullguard" was a former Zeon Soldier who fought and killed his comrades and lover using the Red Rider in the One Year War....

[@Somethingintelligent]

Based

[@silkwind7618]

You can actually use the spare head of the White Rider to form the other head for the Red Rider.

[@Toutooie]

Although this is the most visually basic of the four I really dig that color scheme.

[@androyus]

The big beam sword feels like something from SEED/Astray universe 🤔. It doesn't feel much like UC OYW era weaponry.

[@Jociaoftrades]

I was hoping this thing would come to model kit form one day. And it did. I need it. Funny thing is a made my own version of the Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse using the Pale Rider as the base in Gundam Breaker Mobile. And it was before I knew this thing existed.

[@RykerDavis123]

Its currently on my build table. Im enjoying it so far

[@albertko1]

Honestly looking at it with a green visor, it looks more like the Christmas Rider than a Red Rider. It's got a candy cane vibe going. 🤣

[@carlzerris6566]

Just finished my red rider and having gotten it posed with my pale, black and white riders, i have absolutely no regrets.

[@agenericguy1014]

Damn,you got all 4 riders? That's so cool

[@carlzerris6566]

@@agenericguy1014 Thanks. Got very lucky. I do agree with Mecha that the sticker and coulor seperation leave alot to be desired but they are still such cool looking kits.

[@agenericguy1014]

@@carlzerris6566 So far,I only have the PaleRider and thankfully I got it exactly before it ran out of stock. Also,yea,the Riders have so many stickers.I got lazy to put them

[@JunkyardGod]

Just got Red boy yesterday from my hobby shop. They occasionally have PBandai.

[@GojiraFan-in9oo]

Mecha. Hyper Mode is the super saiyan mode of Gundam the Hades system/Ares system is a modernized version of the EXAM system that disables the safety limiters of the MS to draw out its full performance. It's basically the UC equivalent of the Aliya Vijnana system

[@MasterSwo-MK]

So does it still have the drawbacks of the HADES system?

[@raider8676]

@@MasterSwo-MK ARES has the same heavy load on the pilot and can potentially kill them, but it also has a shock resuscitation program called the "Rymm-Va", which can revive the pilot should that happens.

[@MasterSwo-MK]

@@raider8676 So no drugs or anything?

[@thespikeheadboy3164]

Except this is far safer than the bootleg Alaya Vijnana. ARES essentially increases the suits movement performance by 150% for 300 seconds, in some cases go lower if there are problems with the pilots heart. And unlike HADES, ARES only activates by the pilot's voice command.

[@raider8676]

@@MasterSwo-MK Surprisingly no. The MC of Gundam Aggressor hasn't had to take any drugs to properly pilot it so far in my reading. Currently in Vol. 16, Ch. 75, so it could show up later if so. All that's happened is his use of Rymm-Va after his heart stopped once when piloting it.

[@doomzilla3568]

Nice Artorias pose for the thumbnail.

[@Castitalus]

I love that it's become the go to pose for any large melee weapon.

[@xvm-fzc]

Wait til Red Rider utters "BANKAI"

[@son_duby]

This kit is awesome, gotta grab one for myself

[@GojiraFan-in9oo]

the 4 evil kings of the Dark Gundam are way more deserving of that title than the Power Ranger Pale Riders Master Gundam Soaring Raven Gundam Grand Gundam Walter Gundam the Dark Gundam itself is the apocalypse

[@OtherMomo]

Not nessesariky "last" in the line, we still don't have a few distinct variations, such as the Dulahan (a pale rider unit with the ares/hades system removed)

[@coldercoronet6248]

We’re also missing the coolest Pale Rider variant. The Pale Rider VG. I love the idea of Zeon capturing it and adding 2 of the Gelgoog’s beam naginatas and the Gelgoog Jager’s beam rifle

[@megabunnydeath]

Slowly collecting the riders i like. So have the red, pale heavy, and todesitter. Still need DII, calvary, and maybe space type.

[@chilly_alchemist779]

I swear I can't stop looking at this and not say it looks like Bravenwolf from Tenkai Knights Also if anyone remembers that show, you deserve a veteran award

[@shauqiharris2772]

It is Bravenwolf himself.

[@chilly_alchemist779]

It's not, it's another redo of the Pale Rider, Bandai's never ending gold mine for different versions of it outside of Pbandai exclusivity

[@localgamer.127]

I still got my Titan Mode and his normal mode

[@localgamer.127]

@ramen1107 Never lmao, going to try and savor my childhood as long as I can

[@LeeONardo]

Not the whole set. - Pale Rider DII - Pale Rider Dullahan

[@timothymckay1650]

Ya I'm sticking with the soul vouge shadow version of this kit looks a whole better and has a partial metal inner frame as well in 1/144 scale

[@mokemon1118]

recently bought the HG Ground Gundam. Dunno if it came before the GM Ground Type but the shield is basically the same design. Once I encountered the issues with that shield connector, I modified it immediately to basically lock the c-clip with a small piece of plastic + cement in a way that it keeps the shield's movement. Less headaches definitely

[@coldercoronet6248]

Hg gm ground type came out first! Both are equally amazing kits. If you like the GGT you should get one of the Blue Destiny kits. I recommend Unit 3 cause you get the double beam cannon like the GM Dominance

[@mokemon1118]

@@coldercoronet6248 yeah I am looking out for the Unit 3. This GM addiction is legit haha

[@LeoMtz-ni2lb]

Bought this along with the Black,White and pale rider.

[@armin8306]

I have the pale rider space type and Todestritter. I think if I wanted another it'd be either the black rider or white rider.

[@AlexSilver9]

The last horseman for my collection. One day I'll grab it.

[@gerardsotes2461]

Still no regrets getting this kit

[@Squiggles01]

They are ending the living days of Zeek ms! The Rider suits are ones I wouldn't mind going into battle in!

[@strauss777]

I picked this up thru usa p-bandai, went with the red visor, the color correcting stickers, and the foil vent stickers. Very cool basic kit but man, the wrists are absolute trash. I guess for a high grade overall it's fine, but It's one of those where you stick it in a pose and leave it. I basically left it in a pose very similar to the thumbnail.

[@sobatgundam]

i love this one dude... its cool tho, i guess im going to review this in my channel too... lol...

I love the Pale Rider units but they genuinely anger me in GBO2. Especially the Red Rider with its Beyblade ahh heavy attack. The only Rider units i dont actively despise in game are the White and Black Rider.

[@andrewac1096]

White Rider is pretty good as a close combat support in game, and Black Rider is the special-ops unit in game lol. Pale Rider in GBO2 is a bit high to handle for me.

[@tyronedeasis5055]

Is this what you meant when you said you're building something based off of the Ground Gundam?

While I understand that I'm an old hag, a 2016 kit being referred to as some repulsive antique ike it was one of the early 80's kits you had to glue yourself feels really surreal.

[@thatrandomperson1743]

this is basically the pale rider but red and giant sword

[@RevanR]

That thing was too big to be called a sword. Too big, too thick, too heavy and too rough. It was more like a large hunk of plastic
