It's too bad they only made the one announcement trailer ad for them, they should have done one for the different types of Alto and Portanova as well as the support vehicles and the Rabiot and Cielnova.
I have been on this plastic crack for over a decade and a Bandai ad never poisoned me on buying a kit. RUclipsrs and fellow modelers usually do the trick.
Yeah and all the other transformers designs I've seen for 30mm are ones that require me to disassemble and reassemble them. This you juts move the parts around. Nice
30 minute missions remind me of that 80s cartoon, "Centurions" which was about 3 dudes who had a suit that you could add stuff on to depending on the mission
One thing I've come to love about these 30 minute mission kits is the interchangeability with 1/144 gunpla. The adaptors and extra thrusters and stuff are super useful for easy kitbashing that stands out without going "I cannibalized this from a sinanju!" or something like that. Super great stuff. Not always very solid connections, but nothing a little top coat or glue can't fix.
i would totally watch a build series where the mc uses these 30 minutes missions kits as his main suit, eventually upgrade it bit by bit as he fights stronger opponents.
i think 30mm would be the best motivation for mecha to get a black light as the clear plastic used for the mono eye is very uv reactive and glows very brightly so imagine a dark room with black light making those eyes shine like a squadron powering up for a late night mission
The tank reminds me of a back pack cannon. I'm glad I've been patient with 30mm. At first there really wasn't much to offer and they were a little meh but I still gave some if the blocky chunky mechs a shot. I just love the classic blocky mechs no matter who they are really. But more and more awesome part sets are coming out and you can likely expect something a lot more bad ass by the end of the new year. Or at least I hope so. 👍 Thanks for the review as always.
I made an interesting sort of Guntank with the brown tank and a matching Portanova, mounting the tank cannon as a backpack. Now I NEED one of those white Rabiots and the gear packs. I love the wheeled Roy-Roy!
but your "discount Transformers" looks way better than an actual Transformer, lol, the closest character that comes to mind is Brawl who turns into a tank.
Ok like, i used to ignore the 30mm line and stuck to Gunpla mostly because i thought the designs were too plain for me. But after seeing how customizable the 30mm kits are in this video. Im actually considering getting a few of them
Fantastic review!!! Bandai was definitely on to something when they conceptualized these 30MM kits, and now the kitbashing fans won't have to sacrifice their beloved Gunpla for a customized and modded mecha (although they still could, but I'm not one of those guys!)!!! I love the Sand Tanks!!! I love the option and weapon parts too!!! Ditto with the Planes and Subs!!! Can someone tell Bandai to create weapon packs for specific weapon types? I need a weapon parts box that has nothing but missile pods: closed, open, shoulder/arm/leg/side skirt mountable missile pods, like maybe 12 of them? Or if guns are your thing, they could sell a box of nothing but guns!!! Or swords!!! I'm also loving those color schemes, and the Alto Ground Type is something that I'm dying to get my hands on!!! Thanks for posting this, I'm more motivated than ever to add some of these to my 30MM kit collection!!!
"You don't have one, Get one" Thank gosh I tried Hlj :> Now I can get an Alto, On eBay they cancelled both orders ;/ but hey at least Hlj got me stocked :)
Not gonna lie, here. I love the quick costom builds. Also, mecha has sold 8 bots and 12 option kits...and maybe a few more...that...mobility type rabiot is freaking awesome
The alien 30mm kits vs my UC collection. This idea just crossed my mind and I think its funny. Its just that I have no 30mm yet and my UC collection is both Robot Damashii and 1/144.
I always think ,how mecha buys a lot of gunpla, like literally i only have a rx-78-2 hg,gundam astaroth , wing rg,and force impulse rg but i love the videos of mecha gaikotsu
Bandai really should thank Gaikotsu for this. His reviews promote the 30MM line better than all of Bandai's ads 😂.
I swear that the guy writing the script for those ads just has a thesaurus on hand to use on every adjective they use.
It's too bad they only made the one announcement trailer ad for them, they should have done one for the different types of Alto and Portanova as well as the support vehicles and the Rabiot and Cielnova.
yep
I have been on this plastic crack for over a decade and a Bandai ad never poisoned me on buying a kit. RUclipsrs and fellow modelers usually do the trick.
They need to give him kits to giveaway
"some kind of axe spear, spear axe?"
Also know as Halberd.
I love doing this to Mecha.
On the third day of Christmas the Gundam gave to me.
3 mobile armors
2 GN Drives
And a newtype who shouldn't be.
the best christmas song ever ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Give me the drives i ran out need more for customs
yes i very agree
On the fourth day of Christmas the Gundam gave to me.
One waifu
Two little Gundams
And an SD with a GN Doraibu.
Hang on, wasn't there is one gundam Christmas song by 2old4toys and gang
I love that "discount Transformer" Alto! Actually looks really good in Robot Mode, and not too shabby in Tank Mode!
Yeah and all the other transformers designs I've seen for 30mm are ones that require me to disassemble and reassemble them. This you juts move the parts around. Nice
It looks like a discount loto from unicorn
I think that Sand Tank is a better Transformer than of the Michael Bay designs haha.
Sad but true. g1 and prime have the best designs
And the bumblebee movie designs too
Agreed
Bayformers
I like the movie 1 prime design
mecha give yourself some credit, that "discount" transformer is absolutely great!
That was pretty cool he made that :)
Girls: accessorizing dolls.
Boys: modification of robots
Me: How can I modify my dolls into accessorized robots? Frame Arms Girls? Maybe these fit on Polynian.
@@MegaMato BARBIE Hold A BEAM GATLING. 😙👌
@@MegaMato Bandai does have Gunpla girls. Who knows, they might actually release Super Fumina. ～(￣▽￣～)~That would be a meme.
That tank-mode transformation looks better than any flight-mode transformation Bandai has tried to pull off in the past.
Ladies and gentlemen, we presnt to you today : the CROTCH CLAW

I'd like to see how the Discount Transformers Tank was made though...
me too
Me three. Make it warpath colors for that G1 flair
Me four!
Me five!
Me six!
Mecha reviewing 30mm is always a delight for me. He really show the high playability this kit have.
One thing I've come to love about these 30 minute mission kits is the interchangeability with 1/144 gunpla. The adaptors and extra thrusters and stuff are super useful for easy kitbashing that stands out without going "I cannibalized this from a sinanju!" or something like that. Super great stuff. Not always very solid connections, but nothing a little top coat or glue can't fix.
I swear it's so awesome how 30 minute missions kits are so simple yet so customizable
30 minute missions kits are what got me into this hobby and what make me want to always continue it. So much fun, amazing video!
Ok, Jesus Christ, I was not expecting you to mention Bioncle of all things... That set my heart aflutter when it came outta the blue like that.
Mecha Gaikatsu :
" I made my own Tanksformers "🤣🤣🤣
*with own background music 🎶
....that damn cool bro 😂
25:37 OK. We need that in pink so we can simulate the Gundam cutting the Zaku in half.
i would totally watch a build series where the mc uses these 30 minutes missions kits as his main suit, eventually upgrade it bit by bit as he fights stronger opponents.
So 30 minutes mission= build warhammer levels of mass production of models
At this point the standard mecha from gundam and other plastic kits seem like varying levels of aces and super weapons
FOR THE EMPEROR RAAAAAAAAAAAA
@@xidam8254 purge the heratic ( pushes big red button to send the new class of knights to end the war on ponies
Perfect for tau conversion id say
@Brique Zallivam heresy 30mm and kobu are 2 different things that’s like saying the imperium ripped of tau if anything the tau ripped of the imperium
My boy mecha just mentioned bionicle. You made my day
Now we need separate video about Gaikotsu's custom 30MM mech.
something I would love to see from 30mm is a more animal or creature themed set, like some claws and heads to make a zoid esc build
I DEMAND A STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE TO THAT TRANSFORMING TANK!!!
I love playing with these kits... the customs are endless...
Bro the tank mode for the custom ground type around 5:47 looks like a awsome mobile base
This line is basically Lego by now and I love it.
you must do that regularly, you 30 MM kits review is my favorite of all your contents
I’m glad he made a new video these 30 Minutes Mission kits are what got me into Gunpla building
Their builds are way more solid than other graded gundams
5:17 the gun is the coolest part of that, the way it plugs into the chest reminds me of the ideon gun
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the spear-axe-axe-spear called a halberd?
NGL, that's what I thought too. But I'm no weaponry expert. 😅
Just searched it up your right
Maybe but I think u are correct
I got 2 rabiot weapon sets, and you can extend the giant barrel with another giant barrel.
i think 30mm would be the best motivation for mecha to get a black light as the clear plastic used for the mono eye is very uv reactive and glows very brightly so imagine a dark room with black light making those eyes shine like a squadron powering up for a late night mission
I like how they’re cheap I’m able to use them for customization
There like the lego Gundam model kits
@@kevinmcginn5972 Especially the clear monoeyes remind me of legos lol
I mean he does have a litteral army of them and pretty much ALL the parts are cross compatible
30min mission is quite nice. They never fail us.
The tank reminds me of a back pack cannon. I'm glad I've been patient with 30mm. At first there really wasn't much to offer and they were a little meh but I still gave some if the blocky chunky mechs a shot. I just love the classic blocky mechs no matter who they are really.

Love these LEGO Mecha
I made an interesting sort of Guntank with the brown tank and a matching Portanova, mounting the tank cannon as a backpack.
Now I NEED one of those white Rabiots and the gear packs. I love the wheeled Roy-Roy!
i all Ready bought 100 of these guys With Every Kit in the VIDEO
10:17
-Man- *Machine and machine, POWER EXTREME*
Machine and machine, EXTREME EXTREME!
26:07 Did you say......... *BIONICLE!?*
That hit right in the childhood.
That "Extra Long Spear" got me XD
30 mins mission kits is soo awesome and so neat...
I was not expecting that transmorpher to be so good!
Love this review, like there is so much thing going on with 30mm kits, exciting and fun custom
Your tank transformer was awesoeme. And the other kit you made looked like something from Armored Core. I need more od these. Especially those tanks!
but your "discount Transformers" looks way better than an actual Transformer, lol, the closest character that comes to mind is Brawl who turns into a tank.
What about warpath
@@AbhishekRoy-my6yb Warpath has a chest cannon because his torso forms the tank turret, Brawl's cannon and turret forms his backpack in robot mode.
No no that I know
Watching this video has definitely convinced me to buy these for custom work
Ok like, i used to ignore the 30mm line and stuck to Gunpla mostly because i thought the designs were too plain for me. But after seeing how customizable the 30mm kits are in this video. Im actually considering getting a few of them
Nice custons! I love 30mm line.
5:47 BANDAI ACTUALLY ANNOUNCED A TANK TRANSFORMER FOR 30MM
It's almost time mecha for the best top 10 2020 kit
That discount transformer is too cool
I have so many ideas for a diorama now
Fantastic review!!! Bandai was definitely on to something when they conceptualized these 30MM kits, and now the kitbashing fans won't have to sacrifice their beloved Gunpla for a customized and modded mecha (although they still could, but I'm not one of those guys!)!!!

ugh i get so fustrated when i watch these bc i want them all lol also could you do a video with some of your customs that'd be really fun
I really loved the rabiot too
At 18:18 you basically made a Halberd for gunpla, which is pretty epic
This is like half gunpla half transformer😆Gunformer!!
Yay 30 minute missions video
Hey Mecha gaikotsu what happened to your MECHABUILDZ We thought your going to post more builds?
"You don't have one, Get one"
Thank gosh I tried Hlj :> Now I can get an Alto, On eBay they cancelled both orders ;/ but hey at least Hlj got me stocked :)
If you get two of the option weapon, you can put "pickaxe" on both sides, but upside down, and put spear tip on top for a trident.
Not gonna lie, here. I love the quick costom builds. Also, mecha has sold 8 bots and 12 option kits...and maybe a few more...that...mobility type rabiot is freaking awesome
The alien 30mm kits vs my UC collection.
This idea just crossed my mind and I think its funny. Its just that I have no 30mm yet and my UC collection is both Robot Damashii and 1/144.
I’m a big fan of the alt torso from the Rabiot option weapons with the Cielnova
I got the Alto Ground Type Olive Drab. Now for that matching tank and that huge barrel. And they're getting fused into a gunpla.
tank transformer is really cool
i now know how i should start customizing. Thanks!
watching this video feels like i'm visiting a used car salesman for mechs
SERIOSLY! BANDAI SHOULD STRAIGHT UP START A WARHAMMER STYLE TABLE TOP GAME FEATURING THIS KITS!
5:30 this actually looks really good. looks like a mobile command center.
Feel like I would have had a million of these things when I was a kid. Cheap and customizable.
The 30 minute missions line entirely designed around testing new techniques for producing Gunpla
5:45 not gonna lie, this was awesome...
when gundams have transformative flight mode, now we have transformative tank mode
Not gonna lie, a 30MM giveaway would be nice
Hint hint
18:34
Looks like IBO GRAZE AXE on a Gundam Frame
23:06
Looks like Transformers ThumderHoof
That Custom Raibot reminded me of the White Glint from Armored Core for some reason
I don't like these but I give thumbs up because I support.
Discount Transformer needs his own mini series.
The Olive Drab Alto kind of reminds me of MasterChief
OMG! Bandai had gone full Exo-squad! Love it all.
My dude id love to see you make a custom with this stuff
Love your custom!
Everyone else:oooo I wonder what's new.
Me who follows mecha on Instagram:oh I'll tell you what's new DISCOUNT TRANSFORMER.
18:20 mecha gaikotsu describing a halberd
Can you make breakdown video for some of your 30mm creation, they look awesome especially the gray colored one.
everytime he compares 30 MM to bionicle and lego, I can't help but grin!
3:25 the ankle armor is flipped sideways on the bleu portanova marine type
I always think ,how mecha buys a lot of gunpla, like literally i only have a rx-78-2 hg,gundam astaroth , wing rg,and force impulse rg but i love the videos of mecha gaikotsu
beautiful
Haha tank alto go brrrr
18:23 you mean a javelin
Mini-Hildolfr!
I used the tank combo to make a transforming scorpion tank.
2 for 1 i love that
That Alto now looks a lot like a Jesta.
