#Maxter

[athena-gundampla]

HGFC 1/144 P-Bandai Neo-America Mobile Fighter GF13-006NA "Gundam Maxter" 🥊🇺🇸

He's here! Last week I prepared the 30th anniversary Yasuhiro Imagawa redesign of Gundam Rose, and now it's time for the next one in the series, Maxter.

Just like Rose, this kit is really well designed, with a streamlined parts count (only 8 sprues) and limited colour correcting stickers. Unfortunately it's not perfect, requiring a few stickers on the Core Booster, but otherwise it's totally colour accurate just from the parts.

This kit comes with a lot of extras, including two open fists, two closed fists, and two open hands, the gigantic magnums, removable "gloves" on the shoulders, the shield/surfboard, and just like the Rose, an action base 5, this time in red. It also has a removable core booster groundcar, which has a really nice reflective green cockpit.

Maxter has significantly more gimmicks than Rose. The fighting knuckles are articulated and can flip forward over the hands. The gigantic magnums can attach to the thighs, or slot in easily to the open fist hand options.

The boxing glove shoulder armour detaches and clips onto the forearm, transforming the suit into boxing mode. The chest piece also detaches for this mode, revealing a muscle detail underneath.

Extra parts are included that allow the feet to be secured to the surfboard/shield, and a handle also flips out to allow it to be held in shield mode. There's a 3mm hole behind the green metallic piece in the shield that allows it to be attached to the included action base.

Boxing mode can be enhanced by all of the extra armour bursting off. This is achieved with a series of extra trans red pieces for the action base, holding armour from the ankles, knees, and front skirt, as well as the aforementioned chest piece.

Also included is a purple punch effect to recreate the Gounetsu Machine Gun Punch from the latter half of G-Gundam. This clips onto the fighting knuckles.

Overall this was a really fun kit to build, and I loved messing around with the gimmicks for photos. The tolerances are really good, with no loose or floppy parts, and the colors are super vibrant.

I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of the Shuffle Alliance being released!

G Gundam mechs have Sailor Moon monster-of-the-day energy.

You can't tell me I'm wrong

[epicocat]

I realized i haven’t been giving any GunplUpdates to the, like, 3 people that care, so I’ll just do a quick review of the nine kits I’ve built since the Zeong

Real Grade Sazabi

Probably one of the best RG kits I’ve built so far, at least in recent memory. It’s big, it’s articulate, it’s detailed, I love it!

High Grade Gundam NT-1, AKA Gundam Alex

This one was certainly an older kit. It builds the same as any other HG RX clone, and absolutely needs panel lining with all the molded details (good thing I picked up a pen recently). However, despite all its limitations, the HG Gundam Alex turned out better than I expected, and poses quite nicely!

I’m not at all biased because we have the same name :P

High Grade Mobile Doll May (Gundam Base Color)

This is probably my first official step into the Mecha Masume genre of model kits, but not my first girlpla (I’ve built the Figure Rise Sulleta Mercury the Artery Gear Fusion Guard Spider Feidy kit [highly recommend] before either of them). I doubt I‘ll end up buying anything more scandalous than this, I really don’t care for the half naked robot girls of Frame Arm Girls or Megami Device.

That all being said, this was a really fun kit! It was my first run with waterslide decals, and I think they turned out… mostly ok. The articulation is really good, the sculpting is well detailed (especially in the areas meant for other fans) and I just like kits that come with stands.

I will say, i do not and will not understand the appeal of battle stilettos (it’s hard to see in the pic but her feet are basically pointed straight down in the heels she’s wearing)

Sakura’s Edge

Another of my few non Bandai kits, Sakura comes from the Armored Puppet line of kits from Number 57. It’s another 1/24th scale kit, which means she is very very smol. Her most stand out feature is her third giant buster-arm, capable of wielding a sword twice her height. The bright pink, gold, and white go really well together, and she just looks really nice! Unfortunately her armor is more of an afterthought from the creators, as some parts need to be filed and trimmed excessively to get them to fit (I was in a VC with a friend, he can testify I was almost brought down by the shoes), and other parts just sit loose, ready to pop right off after the slightest tap, touch, or pinch.

30 Minute Missions Spinatia (Commando Type)

This kit was my intro to 30MM and I wish I bought more of them sooner! It was a cheap impulse purchase from a “local” hobby store I was checking out and it was a really enjoyable experience! It was simple and relatively fast (I failed the mission, it took me an hour), but using all the extra parts and mixing and matching equipment was so fun to play around with and experiment with what looks cool, something I hope to see more of as I build more Hexa Gear kits. In the meantime though, I have a 30 Minute Custom to plan >:3c

Transparent SD Gundam and Char’s Zaku II

I dont own many SD kits, and I think these are some more I’ll snag more of as I shop around. They’re simple and cute! They’re both Cross Silhouettes, but only the Zaku came with the CS frame, so the Gundam is just really squat and even more chibi in comparison. Overall not much to write home about, but still fun!

High Grade Gundam Maxter

The only red white and blue I’ll ever stand for

That being said, this was a really great kit! It’s a shame it’s P-Bandai limited, along with Gundam Rose. It absolutely needs panel lining for its literal abs of steel and face, but it still looks quite nice. It’s very articulate and it was hard to pick just one photo that truly sums up the insanity of Gundam Maxter, perfectly captured in gunpla form. It comes with everything seen in the picture, along with its flying surfboard shield, guns, and an effect part for its bursting machinegun punch. It is such a great kit, and comes with enough ham to justify its $30 price tag, despite the fact that Maxter is in fact very small.

High Grade Messer F-01

I love The messer’s design. It feels like a true successor to the Zaku series of suits. I know canonically it’s built off of the Sazabi, but it’s design is 100% Zaku. It’s got that respirator like mouthpiece, and the spiky asymmetric shoulder armor. Is just so cool! And did I mention this things size yet? It, like it’s predecessor are big boys, snd both stand almost as tall as many master grade gunpla in my collection. Overall an amazing kit!

"CHIBODEE CROCKET, YOU ARE THE MAN!"

Another banger of a G Gundam HG kit. Absolutely impressed by a lot of the subtle engineering of the kit to make things like his both bulky and transforming shoulder pauldrons both work and by decently articulated. They not only reproduced basically every gimmick of the body, but even added one by giving us translucent red display rods for having his discharged armor pieces flying around with him.

Looks absolutely great from top to bottom, fantastic color separation, great proportions. Seriously just another great kit. I can't wait for the other two members of the shuffle alliance (and maybe a new master gundam??? and new nobel????? PLZ???????)

Musha Maxter - Lord Red Warrior

(Actual name of this kit)

Ever seen a samurai-cowboy-football-player before? No? Neither have I.

This is a fairly strange SD because it stacks everything onto its backpack, has vastly different ways you can display it, and has a few parts that outright DONT want you to paint them(but I did anyway). Regardless, it’s still a pretty unique take on a Gundam Maxter.

[amplexadversary]

Fuck it, it's G Gundam day, I'm going to post some of my G Gundam inspired Fashion Warframes.

I took a mixture of inspiration from the gundam and the pilot for most of these guys (most notable with my very Allenby-colored Ember).

Additional comments under the cut:

-Nezah as God Gundam was chosen for the Halo, and also for the ribbons being reminiscent of Domon's Hachimaki.

I keep his sparring melee weapon (kogake prime) visible as an analogue to the bracers on the gundam. He wears the heart-shaped Community of Tenno sigil on his chest to represent his crest.

He's usually accompanied by the Kubrow seen in the background of the first photo in the set (shown with my Master Gundam Titania); the Kubrow is named Domon primarily based on his intelligence, but he does help to really sell the reference since other players can see the name of your pet.

-I picked Titania Prime as Master Gundam because of the shape of her head, and gave her Nezah's noble animation set to mimic Master's one-foot martial arts pose. Despite this I can't seem to get a picture of her that I'm satisfied with.

-Atlus Prime as Gundam Maxter, because, well, duh, boxer.

He wears the Saturn Six armor set colored to look like his removable shoulder armor and chestplate, and I used a tan colored Kela De Thaym sigil peeking out from under it to represent Maxter's "bare chest" mode.

I gave him the Akbolto Prime as his sidearm because they're my favorite of the twin pistol weapons and they look stupidly cool.

-Chroma Prime as Dragon Gundam is admittedly a questionable choice, given that he's both taller and has a better ass than God Gundam, but come on, he's the Dragon Warframe.

He wields staff weapons as both his melee and his primary to mimic his fighting style

I gave him the Suda Syandana (fancy warframe term for cape) because when it's lit up it resembles his ponytail. As a result I usually stick a Helios Sentinel in his companion slot because it automatically scans things, which is the criteria to light the thing up.

I placed an inverted Hyena Sigil on his chest behind the lotus armor because from certain angles it looks like a Club, as in the suit of cards, and thus represents his shuffle crest.

-There are so many elements of Schwarz Bruder's trace suit that simply cannot be imitated in Warframe (hes very asymmetrical), but when I got Ash Prime for the first time and saw that tassel, I knew who he needed to be themed after.

So he's Red Gold and Black, with electrified Kronen Prime tonfas to look like his gundam's arm blades, and the Spira throwing knives as a sidearm.

He has the Second Dream Scar sigil and the hexagonal-patterned Cephalon Suda's sigil on his left side to resemble the injury he sustains late in the show, as well as his DG cell infection.

These are oooooooooold pictures of him, and I have since updated his look with both the regular and prisma Edo leg guards to create the asymmetrical look on his shins. Unfortunately, I haven't found anything that looks good on his massive shoulders.

-Another questionable choice, Ember as Allenby/Nobel Gundam. I know Valkyr is the obvious choice here. But I don't have Valkyr and I felt it's a little bit too on-the-nose, hence my choice.

The Xoris throwing weapon was very easy to color as the Nobel Hula Hoop, so naturally I had to include it.

-Finally, Nidus as the Devil Gundam. Another super-obvious choice, the infectious biomechanical monstrosity as the infectious biomechanical monstrosity (well, moreso than other... entities in Warframe *cough*spoilers).

He of course has the hexagonal Cephalon Suda sigil because it looks like the DG cells from the anime, and the Devil Gundam is the source of those cells.

This guy was a pain in the ass to color because his sections don't line up completely with what I want to do with him. He has the Saturn Six Breastplate made to look like his cockpit door, and the Frakta shoulder armor because it looked the most like his big bulky second set of arms.

He goes into missions accompanied by my Helminth Charger, named Kyoji, because I am a complete monster.

[lapsedpacifist]

Alright, I need to clear some stuff out of my backlog and i'm not planning on giving this guy the full treatment, so started working on Maxter. (I couldn't not paint the eyes and cameras)
