GUNDAM - PG 1/60 Led Unit for Gundam Exia - Model KIt

Product Information

GN Long & Short Swords can be mounted onto the waist parts when the built-in adapters are slid out. A prototype of Exia's GN Sword, it is originally used by the GNY-001 Gundam Astraea. [14] [43] The Exia (rollout color) is temporarily equipped with this weapon during a basic performance test as its three physical swords are still in development.

Exia's GN Sword have some similarities with the Kamen Rider G3/G3-X's GS-03 Destroyer from Kamen Rider Agito. Although the GN Sword's Rifle Mode is powerful, it cannot react instantaneously due to the transformation mechanism. [6] [32] Therefore, a pair of small beam guns known as GN Vulcans are built into the forearms. [6] [8] [32] [36] Although they have low firepower, their beams can be rapid-fired intermittently and they are effective in restricting enemy movements, damaging conventional weapons without E-Carbon armor, etc. [6] [8] [32] [36] Released to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Mobile Suit Gundam 00, and the 20th anniversary of the Perfect Grade line During the conceptual development stage of the show, Gundam Exia was codenamed "Pawn Gundam". The Pawn Gundam was a close range oriented machine with very little special abilities and does not possess the Seven Sword (which was given to Knight Gundam or Dynames concept initially). Later, the Pawn Gundam would get an upgraded powerup system of sorts (the idea eventually evolved into the Trans-Am system and would become a standard feature in the finalized version). After it received its power-up ability, the Pawn Gundam would have taken the team leadership role away from Knight Gundam.The Exia also has finer attitude control capabilities than the other Gundams, which is beneficial for close combat, and this is related to its GN Cables. [4] [5] The GN Cables, also known as “GN Power Lines”, are the light purple-colored cables running through various parts of the Exia's body and also one of its eye-catching visual features. [4] [5] [15] While these cables are also found on other Gundams, the ones extending from the shoulders to the upper arms are unique to Exia. [5] The cables facilitate the supply of tremendous amount of GN Particles, and thus energy, to each part of the Gundam instantaneously. [5] [9] They are also used for attitude control due to the GN Particles' mass reduction effect, and so, the Exia which has more cables on its exterior than the other Gundams is able to achieve finer control. [5] In terms of defense however, such placements are dangerous, and later in GN-001REII Gundam Exia Repair II, the cables become mostly stowed in the armor. [5] The safety devices of Exia’s GN Drive can be deactivated to achieve a temporary 'boost' state. [5] [36] This draws out the GN Drive's full power and is known as "Over Boost Mode", but its use is usually discouraged. [5] [36] [44] This mode is later used by GN-001REII Gundam Exia Repair II. [5] [36] [44] [45] Preface: So I want to generate some discussions about each grade, and hopefully people can find a place to read and learn about each grade's general consensus from the community. Also, I was just bored one afternoon.

The weapons can be wielded by either the poseable of fixed hands. (the solid weapon-holding hand is suggested in one wants to display Exia with the GN Sword.) The Astraea's movability aspect is particularly appropriate for the Exia, which requires the same range of articulations as the human body due to its close combat specialization. [4] [5] [7] Thus, while the Exia is armed mainly with melee weapons, its basic performance remains that of a general-purpose mobile suit. [5] In fact, Exia is the only Gundam deployed for the armed intervention that has a body structure capable of range of articulations like the human body's, and the omission of such a structure in the other three Gundams is simply because they do not require it as their specialization is in other areas. [5] To achieve its wide range of articulations, Exia has the most complex basic frame out of the four Gundams, its armor is also more minutely segmentalized as well. [4] [5] [7] This armor design however causes some internal structures and the joints to be unprotected during certain poses, lowering Exia's defensive capability. [4] [5] On the other hand, this design does provides better mobility, giving Exia the best projectile evasion capability among the four Gundams. [4] [5] The damage the Exia sustains in the final battle at the end of the first season could possibly be a tribute to the RX-78-2 Gundam's Last Shooting, as they both lose their head and left arm in a battle against their rival. Later reissues of the kit from September 2018 onward will feature a blue Bandai Spirits logo. Reprints of the kit from mid-2022 will also feature an additional Bandai Namco logo. Mounted on the right forearm, the GN Sword is the Exia's main weapon and the largest among the seven swords. [5] [6] [8] [32] Its blade is longer than Exia's arm and is coated in GN Particles, granting it high cutting capability. [5] [6] [8] [32] Although the GN Sword has high destructive power, its large size made it unusable in certain situations, such as in narrow battlefield. [5] [6] [10] [32] Even if the GN Particle coating function is switched off, the weapon can still be utilized as a normal sword. [5] [8] The GN Sword can also function as a beam rifle by transforming to Rifle Mode, where the blade is folded to reveal the rifle's muzzle for firing highly destructive beams. [4] [5] [32] [33] The transformation mechanism is adopted to reduce as much as possible the number of equipment carried by Exia, increasing its flexibility. [5] The Rifle Mode is also the form the GN Sword is in when the weapon is not in use. [1] [7] [33] Additionally, in this mode, the portion of the weapon consisting of the blade and the rifle body can slide closer to the shield-like part at the side, leaving the Exia's right hand free to hold other weapons. [1] [34] [35]The very first Gunpla PG kit was non other than the grandfather of it all, RX-78-2 Gundam, released last November 1998.
