Bright Helix well extra thrusters and 360 cockpit gave a lot of advantages so the II title was earned. Better than just refitting old GM with new weapons.
@@churrotheshibe8921 teeechnically the Gundam ground types were produced in extremely limited numbers, with only 20 being made, not to mention the EZ8 that Shiro started using was a unique version of the Gundam Ground type
Bandai cut corners pretty hard with the HGUC GM II. Lacks extra hands seen in the GM III kit. Knee armor and feet belong to the unicorn version rather than the zeta version which it is supposed to be.
I honestly like this design lot better than the RX-78 kits. Its size is just right and comparable to other humanoid 1/12 action figures (especially the head). I panel-lined the kit and painted silver inside the visor; I ended up liking it more than most Gundam kits I've collected.
That kit is 10 years old and now I'm buying 2 of them Both them for like 7 dollars each seller not a scam since I've bought almost every kit I have from him it's all sealed box too
I still don’t understand why Bandai hasn’t used either this or the various Origin GMs to make a standard mass production GM revive. Why don’t they want army builders to have a good modern version of the most common Federation grunt of the One Year War? With all the other variants around, you’d think they could do it with no fucking effort. Edit: Upon reflection, Bandai had no less than three times where they could’ve revived the GM: This, the Revive granddaddy, and The Origin. The Origin is the most ridiculous since I’m pretty sure all the other variants have parts that would work perfectly for an HGTO mass production GM, but Bandai just won’t fucking put them together and put a price tag on it.
@@GojirajJr Yeah. It’s well overdue, but thank god the HGTO GM mold wasn’t exclusively P-Bandai. I have built Sleggar’s GM already, and it’s a fantastic kit. It even color-separates the crotch-V, something not even the HGTO Gundam does.
wish they would make a kit of the nemo and HG kits for the rest of the grunts in seed ive been waiting for a HG Dinn , GuAIZ, M1 Astray, Goohn, and Zno
One thing I found different between the color scheme of the Zeta and the Unicorn version is that the trims of the collar on the Unicorn version is red instead of yellow.
I sometimes let my model kits in action pose for quiet a long time..does the joint will come loose after some times if i let it that way?or should i let be the basic stand..
@kakarot197 All we need now is Gundam Unicorn's Aqua GM, Nemo and Silver Bullet. The Feds get some love from Bandai now, Sieg Feddies (I know it never happened).
I have an irrational hatred for this suit. They didn't even try to make it look that different...it just had different proportions. That's before mentioning that it's probably the worst grunt suit in UC. At least the original GM had some scenes kicking ass in MSG. This one did jack shit >_
Don't forget that they literally upgraded all GMs to GM II's, so that's why they look so similar. The GM II isn't a new machine at all. It's essentially a 7 year old MS at the time of Zeta. Considering that it's actually not that bad of a mobile suit at all since it's performance is equal to that of the Hizack and the Galbaldy Beta (which outperformed the Gelgoog) Unfortunately I can't think of any memorable moments either, other than the Semi Striker XD
I know it doesn't suck per se, it just sucks ass relativel to it's time xD. I may still get one, though...just for completionist sake. P.S. I thought both Hizack and Galbady were a bit better than the GM II., especially the Galbady.
***** why oh why couldn't this kit have had an optional GM kai head, considering that some of the RGM-79R's (the rebuilt GM I's, the RMS-179's are the new built units to replace older or damaged GM I's)did use the GM Kai as a base for the upgrades.
ZEON SUITS GET NO LOVE! all we get is a juagg, and some remolded stuff (marasai + zaku sniper) I want a gouf heavy arms type! i want a zaku cannon! i want a galluss-j and galluss-k! I want a zogok! I wan't a fùcking capule because all these suits are awesome and have been there ever since the OYW for some of them, and the fact that we saw them shine for once in Unicorn ep.4 is enough to get them in kit form IMO. btw, no byarlant custom or aqua GM? they were the ighlight of the feds for me!

A GM II is basically just a GM with a new cockpit, two extra thrusters and a beam rifle

@@faizalf119 which they did do... several times.
@@faizalf119 and a slightly stronger generator. The oyw version had 1250 kw were as the gm 2 had 1518 kw.
@@faizalf119every one year war suit can be equiped with 360 cockpit, it's quite an easy procedure in-universe
Is it weird that I like the grunt mobile suits more then the "main" ones?
Don't worry, the M1 Astray is my favorite mobile suit.
Join the club.
always prefered the grunt mechs myselv
You’re not the only. Grunts are way awesome to custom than the Gundam themselves.
Its a veeeery common thing, so no worries
5:22 We should get a UC series where the main character only pilots a mass-production MS.
Right we need some love for gm..

Dude, it's a model kit, not an action figure. It's not impossible to modify.
Now with torso snapping, reactor overloading grunt action!

One thing I found different between the color scheme of the Zeta and the Unicorn version is that the trims of the collar on the Unicorn version is red instead of yellow.
The grey part of the waist is also painted white too.
AEUG decals on an EF/Titans color GM II? Must be an early AEUG GM II, before they adopted the AEUG-specific coloration.
am I really the only one who likes this? maybe I should go write this some cool fan fiction or a cool story for it.
I'm a big fan of it. It's a shame it was never really shown doing a whole lot during Zeta Gundam =/
***** or at all for that matter
@@kakarot197 Grunt mobile suits are never supposed to be stars, anyway.
Mi favorito es el GM III 😅

I still love the gm ii
The GM ll was still in service in gundam Unicorn when the sleves attacked the federation capital.
I feel so sorry for the GM II I mean they were brutally massacured by EVERYTHING, hell even if I throw a rock at it, it would just explode
Yay! actually this will be my first build :D I'm getting it today. I thought it would be fitting to build a grunt haha
At least its better than the GM command

Nice to see another Feddie fan like me!
I have a feeling it'll show up in a show between 0083 and 0087....where it'll do decently for itself..
I literally only bought one of these because I'm good with it in GBO2. 😅
It's so basic, but dependable.
Didn't it get shot in the face in the first episode by the Rick Dias ?
Still getting blown up faster as time goes on
It also crashed in first episode it appeared in
Is the gm ii backpack compatible with the gundam mark ii gundam
+Legendofxana I Dont Think So
@kakarot197 btw can you use the EACOS Jegan's Bazooka on the GM II (Like how it was seen in UC)

The GM II does a lot of heroic sacrifices, it's much better in terms of war deeds than the GM III which does practically nothing.
some GM IIIs helped Amuro push the Axis but yea that's about it
