Hello guys! posting this just now means I got lazy yesterday haha!! But here it is, the original gold mobile suit, the Hyaku Shiki.
Time for another history lesson, well, I'll summarize most of it XD
Hyaku shiki means "Type 100" in japan. This was seen in the show Gundam Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, one of the AEUG's front liners in combat along with the Zeta Gundam, RX-178, Methuss and the Rick Dias. This mobile suit is piloted by Quattro Bajeena (A.K.A. Char Aznable).
During the production of this suit, it was originally called the Delta Gundam and was supposed to be a transforming mobile suit just like the Zeta Gundam. During the time, the mechanics aren't able to make the transformation possible thus scrapping the idea and then modified instead to make the Hyaku Shiki. Some time later, they managed to make that system work, thus creating the Delta Plus. Anyway, the Hyaku Shiki has a gold color because of it anti-beam coating. At the time, giving a suit anti-beam cotaing is very expensive but not for Char. So I guess he wanted the extra protection haha!
This was last seen fighting Haman Karn in her Quebley and was destroyed in battle.
Screw it, like you'll read all of that hahaha!!
Let's start with the review :D
Here's the Box art:
Since it's from the UC era, it will have that generic black box and the mobile suit in front of it. Aside from that, I love how detailed these boxes are nowadays. Oh yeah, this kit comes in 2 forms, this one and the one packed with mega bazooka launcher. The difference is asside from the bazooka is that the suit has a dull yellow-ish gold instead of the shining shimmering gold :D
