988 - HGUC Zudah (OOB Review)

[@davisgwynn4295]

I really came here for a review and instead got my favorite Zeon suit absolutely roasted for 2 minutes lmao

[@Nostroman_Praetor]

It hurts

[@majorborngusfluunduch8694]

The Zudah is no Ghost Fighter! D:

[@LlewelynReswald]

Well, if it overheats its engine and/or generator, it will become roasted lol

[@SoloWing88]

For those talking bout the tiny legs, well it was never used under gravity, so they probably put the tiniest legs. like a prelude to the 'You don't need legs in space." camp

[@xpluscollectorscrew]

They are just frames with limited armor..just as strong as normal legs, not so good for getting hit though

[@Nostroman_Praetor]

I should know, I work in atmosphere in GBO2

[@mrd2392]

Then why even put legs at all

[@SoloWing88]

@@mrd2392 because no one had the crackers to pull a zeong at that time. After the zeong you see more legless space use ms like the dra-c

[@stylerunner2959]

I actually don't mind the legs at all. This guy was built for pure suicidal speed.

[@itsthelazycat]

"suicidal" speed.... i see what you did there

[@zer0bre]

Same here. It'll look really cool all painted up

[@An_Owl_named_VIPER]

[@oldcrow6752]

Honestly love this guy. Knowing they explode like Leos makes them even better.

[@Nostroman_Praetor]

When I explode, I take the dumbasses chasing me and the thing I'm crashing into at lightspeed with me. Don't compare me to them, they got to be mass produced

[@shauqiharris2772]

This is japanese kamikaze mobile suit for you.

[@Ozone947]

If you’re on the fence about this kit, buy it. It’s the best high grade IMO. It’s engineered like a mini mastergrade in the arms and is sturdier than a stone, and has amazing decals

[@soggysod9397]

I'm convinced

[@Courier-gq6ym]

The basic idea of this mobile suit: be better than the Zaku What came out of it: IM FAST AS FUCK BO-KABOOM!

[@lilruss15]

this looks like something that could fit into the gundam thunderbolt

[@shauqiharris2772]

Imagine how the Zudah gonna look in Gundam Thunderbolt.

[@alrighty323]

@@shauqiharris2772 imagine the backpack on that thing

[@autofox1744]

The Gyan is basically an updated Zudah, in many ways. They were made by the same company and you can really see the design lineage.

[@ZakuAurelius]

Interesting, yeah!

[@bkebradley]

The detail on the torso and shoulders looks fantastic, especially for its age

[@Proseless]

One of my favorite head/torso designs from Zeon. Really inspires me to make a custom with proportionate arms/legs.

[@jimjohnson1997jj]

two minutes into the video an he starts flaming the zudah feet

[@ZakuAurelius]

they are just the worst

[@jimjohnson1997jj]

ZakuAurelius I understand that shit look atrocious

[@oijimmy9434]

What are those!!!!

[@TheRealFacemanguy]

I'm actually really digging this kit. I guess cause it's unique, I even like the legs and feet.

[@Nostroman_Praetor]

I'm glad you do

[@dol_mel7487]

Yeah the Zudah's feet is actually supposed to be a little bit smaller than what it is on the HG

[@chismous]

Idk what this guy is talking about. This kit looks absolutely amazeballs!

[@malachimusclerat]

he looks amazing and i love him. i'm buying one right away just to spite you

[@Coolreaver93]

Nice review.... for info if I remember well the arm lenghtening gimmick could also be used for handling the long rifle easier.

[@faizizz4062]

That main weapon and all the surface details tho, I think this kit should be in the HG Origin line. That said, why aren't we getting the clear visor and the clear monoeye for the HG Origin Zeon mobile suits??

[@skyblailock7248]

The EMS-04 Zudah is really badass imo.

[@ZappaSlave]

In space, you don't need legs on your MS

[@vproject2564]

Zappa Slave The Dra-C also didn't have legs.

[@nedinnis6752]

Jay Kay And that one dragon MS from Victory Gundam

[@DariusVladimirAuditore]

Zappa Slave well is space you need more verniers for stability, so flexible legs with verniers are useful for flight.

[@mrdoormat6809]

Wrong universe brah Legs and AMBACs shit are things that made MS THE MS in the first place.

[@Nostroman_Praetor]

Your kidding right? Most of my mobility is in the thrusters there

[@MachineMindDesigns]

Ya know, the Mad Scientist in me says I'd adjust the front half of the feet by steepening the "toe" (80 degree angle) and make bottom completely flat and rounding out the entire front end. Then I'd beef up the lower legs a la Kampfer while keeping the model's design theme. Basically....make it appear somewhat like an astronaut suit, but that's just me. You can easily come up with a design 100x better than my lousy idea, that's for sure.

[@skinnyphd]

CommandantAlpha i think its good

[@vyebugguy]

I'd be interested in seeing how compatible that long rifle with the more recent HG IBO/Origin kits. The Zudah looks cool, but I love that rifle

[@AlexMorayfield]

​@@Nostroman_Praetorroleplay madness

[@igonatangi]

[@skinnyphd]

i really liked the roast😂, but thanks for reviewing this kit because i got it and painted it and added different decals to it from 00, Unicorn, and the decals it came with

[@jimmykunjg]

Dat Shuri line still gets to me, previous WAT references aside. Zudah does deserve a Gundam Evolution Project version someday.

[@Nostroman_Praetor]

I absolutely do

[@absolevoxazon8189]

I think it doesn't look too bad. Pretty neat seeing mobile suits that came b4 the zaku 1

[@exiagn0012]

Waiting for this kit to be released in the origin version The design is also very suitable

[@Farons8]

Yeah those feet and legs are pretty damn goofy but the rest of the kit totally make up for it. The long rifle and shield are very, very cool.

[@christophergrisham1364]

I can't wait to see what you are going to do with this! I personally like the legs, but I do agree that those feet do look a little out of place

[@AlexMorayfield]

​@@Nostroman_Praetorbro, what?

[@plasticdisasta3161]

the 20 seconds almost feels like I'm watching a howtobasic video

[@Nostroman_Praetor]

Your making me blush

[@TheSquidder]

Such a beautiful finale!

[@xpluscollectorscrew]

Don't see the issue with the feet and legs..it's an early pre-zaku I design reworked..

[@ralfsstuff]

I don't get it either. I also don't remember him complaining about Zaku-style feet before.

[@AlexMorayfield]

Dafuck? Are you okay? ​@@Nostroman_Praetor

[@goos4711]

I don't mind the legs they look like Tallgese legs.

Its not like I'm blushing or anything! B-baka!

[@AlexMorayfield]

Kinda late bucko ​@@Nostroman_Praetor

[@anonymousli4204]

that suit was the zaku competition. that's why it doesn't have the iconic zaku leg Bells. also with less Mass the suit would have greater acceleration and less issues with balance control in zero gravity. my two cents

[@Nostroman_Praetor]

Your two cents is worth millions of hugs in my mono-eye

[@AlexMorayfield]

​@@Nostroman_Praetor omg you again!?!

[@shauqiharris2772]

This mobile suit is way more dangerous than a GM ii.

[@gstrikr7]

Zimmad made the Gyan, Gigan, and Gelgoog eventually, which explains some design cues.

[@alicejibija6525]

the gelgoog was made by zeonic and the gigan was made by pezun.

[@SOP.D]

Is it wrong to only like the gun?

[@skinnyphd]

Dylan100ization for some yes, for others no

[@Nostroman_Praetor]

When its one of the few weapons that can break luna titanium with out being a beam gun, sure I'd love my special production anti-ship rifle too

[@AlexMorayfield]

​@@Nostroman_PraetorAAHHHHHH!!

[@AeonCommander]

I'm going to burn for this opinion, but I actually kind of like the legs. I'm a fan of the thin legs/big feet combo. Still wouldn't go out of my way to buy this thing, but I'd definitely get it if I saw it on the shelf of my nearby brick and mortar shop.

[@sebastianomar0205]

Those are Timbers, Zaku. Good ol Tim *B* s.

[@ExcieXC]

Time to get some gyan or gelgoog legs. Also, Zudah's backpack reminds me of Josh's Gundam ver. Logic box :p

[@Nostroman_Praetor]

My feet are fine

[@AlexMorayfield]

​@@Nostroman_Praetoromg again!?;

[@RFAurora]

I'll have to pick up 2 copies of this kit. One for building and displaying with the long rifle, and the other to give the Zudah a second sturnfaust, and give the GP02 Gundam with the Mirv option parts the anti ship rifle.

[@UrbanS_69]

Were the shoulders on this one interchangeable from one side to the other? Had thoughts on getting two of these and having a shield mounted on both sides.

[@skinnyphd]

rip, mah boi dah zudah. doggo did a chew on my zudah

[@Nostroman_Praetor]

Thats unfortunate

[@Mr.POTF2]

it'd be cool to have it holding the rifle by the top handle and having it pointing back over the shoulder.

[@dahkrakken2123]

I love Zudah, but I also love the first 3 minutes of the video x

[@rjnkul430]

Hey Zaku, Was wondering if I could perhaps get those feet/legs if you didn't want them Thanks

[@ZakuAurelius]

Rjn Kul If you live in Korea then sure. But if you live in another country then it would probably cost more to ship them to you than for you to just buy the whole kit.

[@rjnkul430]

That’s understandable. I was going under the assumption of like how you used to give out decals/sticker sheets and small things from kits before. Thanks for the consideration man, Cheers!

[@dr.krieger5847]

My only problem is that the arm joints where the shoulder connects to the torso comes off way too easily.

[@xgalex6191]

I agree with alot of your design points xD the lower body and shield need some help.

[@igetoys]

i really love this MS design, in MS igloo...but i never have any chance to grab this kit, it's rare in my country

[@jesspolohonki8606]

The zudah was the competition with the ms-05 I believe. Kinda like in ww2 the germans designed the he-100 to compete with the me 109, never took off. The he-100 was used as a propaganda tool to scare the allies into thinking there was a new better fighter. I believe in Ms Igloo, the zudah served the same purpose. A design that never panned out.

[@neil0104]

hi zach! any plans on reviewing the HGUC Gabthley?

[@ZakuAurelius]

I built one ages ago, it's at my parent's house. But maybe someday!

[@miguel1015]

Did you like the design of the gundam barbatos rex ?

[@ZakuAurelius]

hmmm it looks ok

[@absolute_erwin]

Miguel101 looks like something out of digimon

[@satellachannel6423]

Sometimes Bandai produce a "different" MS fot those who like that (like me). Look at he Z'Gok (and other marine MS) or Gyan, they look like Power Rangers baddies.

[@brushfire248100]

Didn't they make a revive or Origin kit of this?

[@lisawoods6450]

the reason the gyan and judah look so alike is because the gyan was a heavily modified judah used by m'quve

I'm not Judah

[@noobmastergreen9413]

The Zudah was never used under gravity.That's why it has those weird legs.

​@@Nostroman_Praetormy lord

[@johnnyboiseeds]

Does the kit have an exploding gimmick

[@ZakuAurelius]

Yeah but you have to buy an M80 separately and use tape to apply it to the kit

[@johnnyboiseeds]

ZakuAurelius oh god 😂😂

[@ryanwalters1682]

The only problem with the legs is that they don't match with the feet. If the legs are slim, then the feet should reflect that. However in this case, the feet have more of a typical Zaku proportion. The shoulder armor looks incomplete. All of the random thrusters seem out of place. Over all I like the design, but I could see some modifications making it much more appealing.

[@solomonpark7925]

That's on purpose actually, with the lore of the actual ms being a prototype ms that was considered for mass production but never got past the testing stages because of issues involving it's engine

[@wasdwazd]

Issues being that it exploded when using them at full throttle.

[@zer0bre]

I see the fact that it disintegrates at insane speeds more problematic than having an unaesthetic legs and feet.

[@ryanwalters1682]

Daniel Z Fixing disintegrating legs requires only glue or cement. Fixing aesthetically unpleasant legs requires heavy modification.

[@zer0bre]

Ryan Walters I was talking about the anime counterpart not the plastic kit... Some find these kits appealing because of the anime and the pilots that use them. Not because there's a plastic kit made by Bandai.

[@WolfmanVormand]

I just want it for the Anti-Ship Rifle.

[@satellachannel6423]

Legs are kind of okay, feet are ugly though. Good for a minotaur-like custom. Nice video, i actually like this MS, with some improvement. Very good in sniper configuration (the chunky feets can be seen has heavy weights for stability).

[@Ton_D_Chicken]

The Unit that likes to blow up!!! I like the design, but not the lore.

[@VisibleNinja5674]

Honestly, I find the relative size of the chest is way worse than the legs. The legs are good for a mobile suit that's made for speed. The thighs even look proportional to the calves in length compared to the stubs on most mobile suits. I just wish the chest were a little smaller so the Zudah could have a more gaunt look. It would at least look more in line with the thin arms and legs.

[@Mythicalmage]

i dig the legs, sans thrusters, but those feet are sooooo bad.

[@atwatwithglasses5856]
