The pilot of the suit is referred as "lord of the people", this suit was a redesign of orbs astray by him. The suit is named Load Astray because the pilot wants to walk the path of lords(「王（Lord）の道（Road）を歩む」). Basically, Lord + Road = Load.
Yeah I've seen this retcon before and it's absolutely ridiculous... Someone speculated that the name needed censoring when it became popular due to the kit, kind of like God and Deathscythe back then Is this censorship still a thing in 2021/22?

I'm surprised you didn't put this side by side by the Astray No Name, there was a lot of Design Influence from the Lord Astray carried over from the No Name
The lord omega is actually an upgraded normal lord astray gundam which is what the no name is i wish they actually made a normal lord astray to go with the omega
At the moment all of my older kits are all in storage til I can move to somewhere with more space, so that means any HGs or RGs I have are not really accessible for the moment. Hopefully if I do fins a new place I can have dedicated areas to each show/universe, so I can do full comparisons against the whole available line of kits!
Man, I hope that they make reissue of this. This kit looks great. That Semi Giant sword looks awesome. I hate that this is pbandai and not an regular issue.
Reminds me a lot of Drift from Transformers. The color scheme, the red patterns, and especially that lion head insignia looks like an Autobot symbol if you squint enough. Give it the Red Frame's sword and it's be perfect lol Might have try and grab one, first Astray I've seen I've been interested in.
Lord Astray is the name, no Japanese to English mistakes can change that, its a suit made from the data of all the Astrays used by a guy called The People's Monarch Its the Lord Astray
Agreed, and not the first time I've seen a bit of Engrish on Gunpla kits as well. In addition to this one there's also the Extreme Gundam type-LEOS Eclipse Face (should be Phase), and interestingly the P-Bandai listing for the Dryon III used the name Gundam Dryon Drei, while the box uses Gundam Dryon III, both names seem to be interchangable.
@@KMS_Tirpitz No. Appearance wise it's awesome but build wise it's such a headache to keep together without glue and it can't stay on it's feet at all.
God, I wish Bandai made square sections on the handles of more weapons. The guardian shield on the GM Guard Custom having cylinders for its handles will never stop bothering me.
@@MechaGaikotsu That kind of stuff is really cool to see, but it's also kinda agonizing to know that they *can* do it (and do it very nicely, no less), but that they either forget or just choose not to for whatever reason. The IBO kits suffer from that a lot more than they have to - especially considering the Barbatos HGIBO kit actually solved that issue from the beginning.
1:34 I do own this gundam kit as birthday gift last year, man it's solid despite all that stuff on it. I did flipped the yellow horns bcuz it just looks cooler that way
If you like transformable giant sword, I'd like to recommend Kotobukiya's M.S.G. Knight Master Sword. I built it in the Bullet Knights Executioner Bride, and it was amazing! Not only can it combines with a shield, but the sword itself comes with a display stand. Clear parts also look great on it, I bought another M.S.G. because they're in different colors! (Yellow and Blue)
Fun fact: Lord Astray Omega will win over Barbatos because of rare metal Omega. However there is a weakness, that is the lower body is not made of the rare metal because of an incident that happens in the princess of the sky, you see the original plan for this gundam is a complete made of rare metal. If your wondering where is the other half of the rare metal omega, that part goes to the gundam astray gold fram amaterasu's lower half which is the upgraded version of the gold frame amatsu hana.
@@borgar1765 Seed mobile suits wouldn't (at least not completely destroy barbatos) coz the ibo suits have armor that resists beams and most if not all seed suits use beam weapons, the seed suits have phase shift which resists physical weapons so pretty much none of them would win.
Yeah, it's Lord Astray in the game. Haven't used it yet cause I'm always using the 00, IBO, AGE and Gundam X suits. Playing it on Switch since my PC is kinda crappy
I opted for PC because of the price. The way I've been playing it is by using the available suits in each stage and only adding series-specific mechs I get to support them.
Did you get the game from the Japanese eShop? I'm still salty that it isn't available on the Western ones. At least the new game, which I will be picking up, is available here, and somehow even slightly cheaper than on Steam.
Just finished building this as my first ever gunpla kit, it was pretty fun and aside from the stickers for the "back" of the head it was pretty straightforward. Now... what to build next?!
I have a recommendation for a Review: Gundam (gframe14) Gm command type. It is a candy toy, but it is very cool. In the United States, it'll come in a box with a basic static frame, the armor, weapons, and then an articulable frame for poses. I think that in other countries, however, you have to buy the static frame that comes with the armor separately from the articulated frame and weapons.
I think you should show the leftover parts in your videos. I'm trying to do a kitbash but don't know what kit I should be buying that would contain the parts I might need. Would really appreciate it if you do so in future videos.
Have both the Cross Rays and Genesis SD Gundam games on Switch they are genuinely addicting. Also have Super Robot Wars 30 those kind of turn-based tactics-on-a-board games just speak to me
Gaikotsu I need help. I need your opinion on the pg 00 raiser. I’m considering getting one, but I’m not sure on the pros and cons of it. What are the ups and downs of the kit? What are the issues it may or may not have? Please help. I need a professional opinion on it.
yeah those knee joints really kill the posing fun on this kit. partly due to the design but I think it was a missed opportunity for Bandai to redesign the knee on this for this release given that it was already a present issue with the rebake
Not sur if you did it, I only recently joined your channel and I am new to the whole Gunplan world. I created as my first Gunplan the HG Hy Gogg and I would like to know how ti compared to the rest in general?
It's a translation error. Think I heard somewhere that the word for "Lord" and "Load" was the same, like with the Chinese word "Ma" meaning both horse and mother, along with a few other words I can't remember off the top of my head. So yes, the correct name is Lord Astray Omega. At this point I think they've kept it either as an inside joke or just to see people's reactions. That, or they just don't want to admit they messed up.
Yeah the romanized Japanese is 'roodo' which could be translated to either 'load' or lord' it could even be translated as 'road' (Road Astray anyone? sounds like a racing Gundam) and I think it was always intended to be 'lord' in this case.
i like Astray design and this one looks cool, even better than Red Frame in my opinion. I just wish it was a MG because I'm not into HGs (unless it's an exception like Mercury protagonists one)
7:13 3d print that sword in 1/100 ish scale for the HIRM Gundam Astray Red Frame Powered Red and you'll have a badass sword for a badass gundam. Also: Lord of People? What is this, Warhammer 40k?
The fact that it has the same limb joints as the double rebake astray reeeealy makes me wanna try some custom stuff with 30mm parts 👀 they have so many neat little kits that really compliment the black+white+red color scheme of this one

God, I wish Bandai made square sections on the handles of more weapons. The guardian shield on the GM Guard Custom having cylinders for its handles will never stop bothering me.
They did it very tastefully on this kit. I didn't' even notice it at first because it's only squared off on 2 sides, and very subtly at that!
