  • Here's the Real-Grade 1/144 scale Zeong. Bandai managed to take a pretty goofy design and make it totally awesome with their latest RG - and I highly recommend it!

    Ah. Yet another soul weighed down by gravity, who believes legs are good for anything but aesthetics.

    • @damiannguyen9195
      @damiannguyen9195 3 года назад +17

      Legs are actually very important for agility though, specially through AMBAC maneuvering, a system that uses inertia and centrifugal forces of limbs moving around to help MS change its direction in Zero G. Which is the reason why machines with wing binders like the Hyaku Shiki and Zeta are much more agile compared to ones that doesn’t

      @@dgas5904 yo you might want to chill down. I just want to have some conversation by sharing what I know, and you’re just gonna disregard it because you assume it came from the wiki? This “joke” is something that appears everytime the Zeong gets into the picture, and it’s so frequent that people don’t even talk about how the Perfect Zeong had reasons to exist aside from aesthetics purposes anymore. I can’t even comprehend if people saying those jokes actually take it seriously anymore.
      If you dislike my take, you can just say it without being mean? At which point exactly do I really act like I’m above OP because I spoke out info he didn’t?

    I used to think the Zeong was pretty dumb looking but once I grabbed this kit, my sentiments changed. I really love how it's not just another Zaku or Gundam swap with some sort of gimmick. It does things that other mobile suits don't. Legs aside, it's aesthetically different. Very different and I've come to appreciate the very old school 1950s/60s sci-fi robot look.

  • @Warmagon
    @Warmagon 3 года назад +18

    The design of the head and torso really suggest that the Zeong is designed with 'up' as a primary axis of movement driven the by the leg replacement thrusters, as opposed to usually standing on legs. So while the overall project would no doubt supposed to be making a legged version too, it kind of seems like we're looking a dedicated space superiority Zeong variant that is supposed to use giant vectored thrusters to outmaneuver other suits in microgravity, as opposed to a hasty retrofit since the legs weren't ready.
    A greyish primary color with red, blue, and yellow sections also makes seem like the Zeon Gundam.

    I'm hard pressed not to call this kit-of-the-year already - I'm in luv, and really affirms RG's status of late. Agree with you Zach that any RG coming out is now at a fantastic engineering standard. For me, the Force Impulse was a meh Gundam for my personal tastes, but man the RG did a 180 on my opinion. Simply stellar kit OOTB and now a big fan of the Impulse design.
    Can't help but dream of RG Kampfer, GP02a, Gelgoog's, Gouf's (a Flight Type RG would amazeballs), Gerbera Tetra, Zaku III, GMs, The O, Marasai, Xeku Eins, heck even Barbatos.... and of course, the Dom ;)
    ps - it's time for RG Zaku II 2.0 tbh, and I'd also say to Bandai, please redo Thunderbolt in RG, it'd be an ideal small scale format for those designs too

    I'm really not a fan of how the RG line clutters these great classic designs with tons of extraneous greebles and markings. This doesn't look as bad as some - like the MK II, but the skirt is a mess in my opinion. I would love to have some nice 1/144 scale kits of old school designs that have the articulation and color separation of RGs, but without the forced conformity to modern design trends that they weren't initially designed with in mind. I would almost be willing to grab a kit like this and modify it so to restore it to something closer to the original.
