+forexjammer There's a general "rule" that anything that's animated is canon and what isn't animated isn't canon. Personally, I'm not so sure about Thunderbolt fitting in with the main UC canon since the design are very different. Even with the explanation. They just look too advanced for machines fielded during the OYW imo.
Yep its a general thing where animated is made canon, Though its also messy since there are things that contradict the timelines or mechs such as the Guntank in Origins throwing out a lot of previously established information out the window, I have a strong hunch that Thunderbolt is part of that too.
I like the look too, and it looks more appropriate for space. However I've noticed that Federation and Zeon suits use the exact same parts for the cloth-covered joints. Are they being produced by the same company? Because that would be Collaborating With The Enemy... or War Profiteering... or both. Just saying.
Etherdave later on, after the one year war, yes, Anaheim makes their product parts universal to make war a more logistically smooth “business” and sell to both Freddie’s and neo zeon (the latter under the table of course), but at this point in the timeline they are separate manufacturers. Zeon has zeonic and a few others, and EF has in house design team. One the point of the joint covering. It’s not exactly rocket science, probably different developers. It’s no crazy government secret to how to cover joints with a tarp or rubberized sheath. You could probably run down to the Home Depot and get some now.
I excuse the different look due to these being Moore Brotherhood customs. When the feds send in the reinforcements of GM Cannons and Guncannons piloted by teens/kids they are all colored and generally designed similarly enough to their normal UC variants, asides from the extra thrusters and packs, which again can be excused by instability of the sector requiring higher maneuverability.
13:36 - "I guess I'm just gonna have to forgive this... cuz... it still looks... just plain badass." Lol That delivery! That tonal transition from mild annoyance to genuine satisfaction lol! So Good!
Attack on Titan is actual feces ugh...MOST OF THE TIME for HG's they don't have hollow parts, so the fact that this does should be taken into consideration
I just ordered yesterday a HG 1/144 F.A.-78 Full Armor Gundam (Thunderbolt Gundam Ver. 1st Edition), and from the looks of things I'll hopefully be picking this GM variant up on my next haul. Excellent video, and by the way I liked and subscribed. :3
I found this (very hard to find) kit and built it. It's the first one I've painted, mainly because the thruster stickers on the legs look _terrible._ Luckily, the kit comes with two sets of leg parts - just the white bottom halfs; left and right - so you can try using the stickers on some and paint with the others... or keep a spare set in case you royally screw up the paint job. :)
I was never too keen on the look of the original GM, so I never bought one. This though has a great look, and I will definitely buy to add to my GM collection.
I actually kit bashed gunpla battle arms with my full armor gundam. It looks little weird, but hey at least it has articulated shield arms now. Thumbs up for this review
I wonder how a team of regular rgm 79 would fare vs gm thunderbolt. based on baddassery alone I think gm thunderbolt would be more than a match for the upgraded gm II
I don't see how this can be any less cannon than the original gundam time-line. The designs of the GMs can be attributed to the conditions of where they operate, Mesh on the joints and shields so they can survive getting Zapped in the titular Thunderbolt Sector and thrusters so they can move around more given the added weight, we actually see Io's gundam tank a Lightning zap too in the OVA. I can see this happening in some region of space in the original show. There is the issue about the Full Armor gundam though, that I agree with, but if this was during the closing days of the OYW, then Chobam armor already exists, and we already heard the other full armor gundam exists here too. Only this one was made so it could survive in the said thunderbolt sector. And we see both sides of the war do this to an extent, as we see with the GM cold districts type, GM ground type, Zaku 2 ground type, Zaku 2 High Mobility type Etc etc, and since the general rule of thumb is Animated = Canon Then Thunderbolt suits can be considered Canon, as for the origin suits idk, that show contradicts alot of stuff in the original show compared to thunderbolt anyways.
Of course mechas depicted in Thunderbolt take their design cues from Gundam: The Origin, which is an effective reboot of the entire franchise. The bagged joints are a nod to Gundam 0080: War In The Pocket, which continues to be an astoundingly strong influence on the franchise. While I understand the frustration over hollow parts, detailed on only one side, I also can guarantee that engineering solid, or at least detailed-in-round, articulated shield arms et al., would only have made this kit extremely expensive... and the Thunderbolt series is, to a kit, already conspicuously more expensive than previous series. Thanks for posting.
All the Thunderbolt kits feature enhanced details and designs that improve upon what has come before, in keeping with increased visual complexity of the manga and its anime adaptation. That said, you pay for what you get: Thunderbolt kits are notably more expensive than their HGUC counterparts. The four Thunderbolt kits I've built so far all contain both foil and clear plastic stickers, feature enhanced articulation and poseability, offer a complete range of accessories, and even provide alternate stickers for folks who paint; this is no insinuation, it is how these kits are being produced, and it sets the level of the Thunderbolt kits above that of the HGUC and closer to Real Grade. Hollow parts are what they are: they save on plastic, provide for better quality castings, and reduce complexity for younger builders. Also, they are accessories. You may rest easier considering that very likely some guy who actually gets paid to reduce the costs of these kits probably ordered the designer to design the grappler arms this way: he does his job, and his kids get to eat that evening. Some epoxy putty, or a few pieces of plastic card can solve the issue. In the final analysis one could ask 'Do I want to buy this kit?'. Or one might ask 'Did I pay more for that GM-Ground-type from 'The 08th MS Team', or the GM Guard from 'Gundam The Origin'? If so, this is a worthy addition to one's collection of Federation mobile suits.
I previously thought the suit was too busy, and did not expect this great new body for it. I think I will get this now. I wonder if they are going to use this mold with some modifications when Gundam Origin comes to animation, and they will likely do that GM. I don't mind it not being able to wear the shield and the beam cannon on the same arm, since really, it more or less has a shield built into it, anyway. At least, it looks like it can probably block with it, against the likes of vulcan fire or beam saber, if it has beam coating. I can't imagine he'd like taking missile fire into his beam weapon, though.
The busyness of the suit was something I worried about too. I still wonder how the FA Gundam or especially the Zaku II HM will turn out. =P I'm pretty sure they'll make a new mold for the Origin GM. Just like the thunderbolt, you immediately know that it's a GM, but it's still very different from any GM that has been released as a model. I don't think I mentioned it in the review, but the reason I said that it was a shame that the GM couldn't wield the shield on the beam cannon was because the FA Gundam can do it with his shield and twin beam cannon.
Ah, I see. yeah, that is disappointing then, and good point. Speaking of molds and all, and since GMs, if I recall, have arm-mounted machine guns in Origin, I would love if Bandai made a new Gundam Alex, since the old one is kind of dated as a model. I could be wrong, but I do remember Zaku IIs have vulcans in Origin, so there are numerous differences.
Arrowdodger It's not mentioned anywhere that the GMs have extra machine guns, but they do have the same hatch on the right side of the chest as the Gundam does. Meaning that almost certainly totally do(but none in the arms). The Zakus have the same machine guns in the chest and also have 2 in the left arm(you probably mixed up the GMs and the Zakus). Other than those machine guns, a different backpack and rifle it looks almost identical to the regular Zaku II. So depending on how the anime versions will look, they could recycle some parts from the F2.
yeah, I think I am mixed up. Still, will be interesting. I am just a little bummed out that in Origin, the Guntank and Guncannon are considered obsolete when the series starts, basically. They were flawed suits, yeah, but I like them.
in the first episode, the thunderbolt gm looks like one badass till they started getting shot off by the big gun like O_o u guys have enough mobility but u still get shot lol
No it's in the same universe with UC and in the same timeline as 0079,but with the technologies they got for the MS is rather advance,make it a little bit difficult to believe they are in the same timeline.Oh and also the designs doesn't seem to be fit in this timeline.
If your complaining about hollow parts you should take a moment to think about that these are A) model kits and B) bandai expects you to have an amount of competence when building kits. How hard is it to use putty? It's 2014.
If you think that I'm complaining, then take a moment to think what this is, a review. Yes, I can easily fix it and you probably can too, but that doesn't make it any better. The whole gimmick of gunpla is that they look good out of the box, which is why we get the stickers we do and why the models are molded in mostly the right colours nowadays. Hollow parts are fine as long as they're reasonably out of sight, like with the twin beam gun or with the skirts armour, but in plain sight? Don't forget that the core audience for gunpla doesn't consist of big-time modellers but people who straight build their kits(most of the time even without panel-lining them, which is a real shame if you ask me =/ )
"The whole gimmick of gunpla is that they look good out of the box" What? No it isn't. "Don't forget that the core audience for gunpla doesn't consist of big-time modellers but people who straight build their kits" Wrong, the majority of japanese builder paint their kits.
Attack on Titan is actual feces Your way of doing things is the only way. Everyone who doesn't think exactly like you is stupid and lazy. No one else gets opinions because yours is the only correct one.
mmmmmmmm . . . tbh i can't see how the hollow parts are a detriment for this kit (besides the fact that its 2014 now and we all expect awesomeness from bandai), i mean unless you have poor modeling skills and break everything out of the box . . . >_> otherwise i think its perfectly fine.
i agree, to get every part and color in plastic and everything articulated would just drive the price of the kits up , which in turn would make production time of developing the kits longer, the argument that can be made is well its a HG but i say that that's all it is, i think it's a fair representation of it's design, kits are and can be made better on the skill of the builder (not saying kakarot197 isn't a good builder) everyone will have their nit picks and not everyone will be happy with what bandai gives us but i think it's great , that's why i bought this kit and the full armor gundam version.
Taov001 The stickers and lack of articulation(for sturdyness) can be easily forgiven. Hollow parts that are in plain sight, however, really annoy me. But hey, with the exception of those hollow parts, it's still a great looking kit like you said.
***** hehe i can see hollow parts really annoy. you its funny watching you go nuts over gunpla, like the doven wolf review (thank you for that) :D though im looking forward to the gundam review
GoofyGoufer07 where does it say it not canon I read the wiki it’s set in the universal century timeline set in the thunderbolt sector of the war all of the key battles are there
GoofyGoufer07 Because people know it’s in the universal century timeline Already of course they Have their on line of High-grade kits its marketing that’s why it’s still it’s still in the same timeline of the universal century.
GoofyGoufer07 A lot of stories are sometimes a retelling because sometimes original won’t fit anymore I’ll be in the camp that the series are canon and you can be in a camp it’s not can canon I wouldn’t be a surprise if origin it’s a retelling of the original series In fact they did this before with the gundam Zeta the new translation And the three movies of the original series like having two gunCanon Mobile suits space during operation to start one.
why do all the thunderbolts have such wierd patterns on their joints its like its supposed to imitate some kind of plastic or fabric on the joints but it just looks kinda silly imo
+Kakarot197 It'd probably be good if one didn't care about Thunderbolts but just wanted to pretend it was made for some planets with lower gravity but a lot of loose dust that'd be kicked up by those verniers.
+flarepie24 Quite an old post, but figured I would give a reply anyway. Thunderbolt suits are designed for work in a specific space called the 'Thunderbolt sector', formerly side 4 'MUA', it is a ruined colony that has numerous pieces of small debris floating around, such could interfere with suit systems if they flew into a joint, so the cloth you see is designed to protect the suits. Also, the extra Vernier thrusters you see all around the suit are to help with mobility, against the larger debris.
I hate hollow models and figures. It pisses me off when hasbro does it with transformers. I agree with you fully. If they were articulated or something that would require them to be so, it wouldn't be a big issue.

I heard Thunderbolt is declared canon now.
+Yukimabi source?

+Kakarot197 oh wow didnt know that kind of rule apply lol. Yeah psycho zaku and thunderbolt is ridiculously op they make amuro's gundam a joke
forexjammer Well yeah the thunderbolt mechs are basically deep striker type suits.
"1995 Called. They wat their hollow parts back"
I've never laughed so hard in my life
Just like an austronaut-the cloth joints, backpack, thrusters and all.
I like the look too, and it looks more appropriate for space. However I've noticed that Federation and Zeon suits use the exact same parts for the cloth-covered joints.

Hopefully, Bandai will give us a MG of this badass gm
It'll all depend on how well they sell and I think that they sold out pretty quickly =D
13:36 - "I guess I'm just gonna have to forgive this... cuz... it still looks... just plain badass." Lol
That delivery! That tonal transition from mild annoyance to genuine satisfaction lol! So Good!
I wonder if the gm cannon thunderbolt version will get an hg, I doubt it though
Would love to see Bianca's guncannon aqua as a kit
Hollow parts to make up for plastic used to make extra shield and twin beam cannons, I think. Bandai never fails to be cheap
Lazy modelers never fail to be lazy.
Attack on Titan is actual feces ugh...MOST OF THE TIME for HG's they don't have hollow parts, so the fact that this does should be taken into consideration
Attack on Titan is actual feces *yup*
Char's Zaku appears in the thunderbolt manga
that's the Psycho Zaku
probably one of my favorite mobile suits behind the jesta and buring gundam
I just ordered yesterday a HG 1/144 F.A.-78 Full Armor Gundam (Thunderbolt Gundam Ver. 1st Edition), and from the looks of things I'll hopefully be picking this GM variant up on my next haul. Excellent video, and by the way I liked and subscribed. :3
Great decision!
And welcome aboard! =D
I hope that a master grade of the GM (thunderbolt version) is in the works.
Fun fact: The shield connectors are the same parts as the one from the Hi-Nu Gundam
I love thunderbolt version than original version
I love this new gm and I got to agree with you on the hollow pieces of the arms that hold the shields
Insanely regret not getting one of these before. They're like $75 minimum now
I wanted a gm 2 or 3 but i saw this now I'm wondering wats worth buying
It may be an experimental prototype. Like the Heavy Gundam - a brand-new specialized MS.
Legend says that the sheild connector is still behind the desk.
I found this (very hard to find) kit and built it. It's the first one I've painted, mainly because the thruster stickers on the legs look _terrible._
Luckily, the kit comes with two sets of leg parts - just the white bottom halfs; left and right - so you can try using the stickers on some and paint with the others... or keep a spare set in case you royally screw up the paint job. :)
I was never too keen on the look of the original GM, so I never bought one. This though has a great look, and I will definitely buy to add to my GM collection.
Yeah, the original HGUC GM unfortunately has kind of a dopey look to it.
*****
I am fine with the original GM design up until the weird diaper looking full skirt. It just doesn't look right, even on the anime.
Thunderbolt is cannon: the reason these weren't used planet-side was due to the Shield-weight, and the overheating of the twin cannons.
I agree with you about the fact that this kit shoulndt have hollow parts
What if you use the HGBC Ballden Arms set to replace the shield arms?
I actually kit bashed gunpla battle arms with my full armor gundam. It looks little weird, but hey at least it has articulated shield arms now. Thumbs up for this review
Episode #1 ONA is just out. Do you think we are going to see a new series of models?
The hollow part on the shield is great for kit bashing.
9:56 Lol, so true!
I wonder how a team of regular rgm 79 would fare vs gm thunderbolt.
based on baddassery alone I think gm thunderbolt would be more than a match for the upgraded gm II
I like this kit, but I do wish the backpacks manipulator arms were articulated in some way.
I don't see how this can be any less cannon than the original gundam time-line.
The designs of the GMs can be attributed to the conditions of where they operate, Mesh on the joints and shields so they can survive getting Zapped in the titular Thunderbolt Sector and thrusters so they can move around more given the added weight, we actually see Io's gundam tank a Lightning zap too in the OVA.

Then Thunderbolt suits can be considered Canon, as for the origin suits idk, that show contradicts alot of stuff in the original show compared to thunderbolt anyways.
does the backpack come off
I like the way the plastic looks. On camera at least, it looks like the entire thing was painted.
Of course mechas depicted in Thunderbolt take their design cues from Gundam: The Origin, which is an effective reboot of the entire franchise. The bagged joints are a nod to Gundam 0080: War In The Pocket, which continues to be an astoundingly strong influence on the franchise.

Thinking about buying it but the price is almost double regular HG kit now, hmmm.
Just finished building my thunderbolt GM.

Why don’t the Thunderbolt kits get re issued? Why aren’t there more Thunderbolt kits? I’d love the Gogg or Rick Dom

Yeah that's kinda exiting to think that these molds might be a precursor to some Gundam origins kits! Oh god please give me an updated Rick Dom!
The busyness of the suit was something I worried about too. I still wonder how the FA Gundam or especially the Zaku II HM will turn out. =P
I'm pretty sure they'll make a new mold for the Origin GM. Just like the thunderbolt, you immediately know that it's a GM, but it's still very different from any GM that has been released as a model.

Sticker with number!!! Gota have em!!!
It was funny how much nitpick that whole thing about those two thrusters in backpack not moving was compared to all those hollow parts.
Thunderbolt is set in uc
i think i buy more older gundam then this and well this is better im just not updated because i wait for 50 percent discount on them
Once again this is the closest to a revive gm that we have
in the first episode, the thunderbolt gm looks like one badass till they started getting shot off by the big gun like O_o u guys have enough mobility but u still get shot lol
yeah thunderbolt is cannon universal gundam
this gm is based on the one piloted by Fleming, i think. he forgot to equip beam sabers apparently.
加賀 Yep
加賀 His GM got shot down first so...
HOLLOWNESS RAEG!
Had to pause for a second. Thunderbolt is in a different universe from MS Gundam? Why?
No it's in the same universe with UC and in the same timeline as 0079,but with the technologies they got for the MS is rather advance,make it a little bit difficult to believe they are in the same timeline.Oh and also the designs doesn't seem to be fit in this timeline.

And I'm working on the FA Gundam right now, the review should be up near the end of the week.
Dat guy use full armor gundam( gundam thunderbolt ver.) but she have a 3 robot
I disagree that it’s not Cannon thunderbolt is another side story of the UC universe of the one-year war
GoofyGoufer07 I don’t believe that like I said it’s another part of the UC Side story like 00 83 or war in the pocket
GoofyGoufer07 where does it say it not canon I read the wiki it’s set in the universal century timeline set in the thunderbolt sector of the war all of the key battles are there
GoofyGoufer07 Because people know it’s in the universal century timeline Already of course they Have their on line of High-grade kits its marketing that’s why it’s still it’s still in the same timeline of the universal century.
GoofyGoufer07 Still it doesn’t say that they are not Cannon doesn’t say anything where’s the proof
GoofyGoufer07 A lot of stories are sometimes a retelling because sometimes original won’t fit anymore I’ll be in the camp that the series are canon and you can be in a camp it’s not can canon I wouldn’t be a surprise if origin it’s a retelling of the original series In fact they did this before with the gundam Zeta the new translation And the three movies of the original series like having two gunCanon Mobile suits space during operation to start one.
10:15 lmao they still do it in 2021
why do all the thunderbolts have such wierd patterns on their joints its like its supposed to imitate some kind of plastic or fabric on the joints but it just looks kinda silly imo
Yup, it's supposed to be something(plastic, fabric,...) that goes over the joints, probably to protect them from dust and whatnot.
+Kakarot197 It'd probably be good if one didn't care about Thunderbolts but just wanted to pretend it was made for some planets with lower gravity but a lot of loose dust that'd be kicked up by those verniers.
+flarepie24 probably to protect from cosmic dust like actual space suits.tommytoy.typepad.com/.a/6a0133f3a4072c970b017ee4a2bac2970d-550wi

I hate hollow models and figures. It pisses me off when hasbro does it with transformers. I agree with you fully. If they were articulated or something that would require them to be so, it wouldn't be a big issue.
