Not even Gaikotsu is safe from Raid: Shadow Legends' sponsorship. They're fucking everywhere. 😐
I fully agree with your number 1 worst. Dear God what a p.o.s.
Duude.. try HG GAPLANT
May I have the Best #1 name?
I'm playing shadow legends and hope to join your clan :)
Flip me upside down. Cover my head.
We plane now.
Well its called refined gundam Zeta for a reason.
Kyrios
Wing Gundam
@@leolied6766 I see your joke right there
Arios
Hey, what about the Gunpla that transforms into a giant hole in your wallet?
Damnn 😂
All the perfect grades ?
You're gonna have top be a lot more specific
P-Bandai?
Also known as pg exia, pg unicorn and [insert really bad but rare gunpla]
"It will rain armour pieces everywhere."
Just like its OG variant did in Endless Waltz. Now that's what I call screen accuracy!
in the end less walts it does rain armor parts
Damn.... shots fired. Much like the Serpent troops did on zero...
yeah accurate!
Unicorn Ver.Ka MG full armor green insides is arguably the worst grenade wise tho
“Avoid those at all cost”
My Victory Ver Ka that’s sitting in my shelf: Unfortunately for you, history will not see it that way.
Boosters...on
Torso...rotated
Frustration...THROUGH THE ROOF
Let’s go Voltron Force!!!
yup, it's wing gundam time
Hotel?....trivago
This is how many people want an RG 2.0 Zeta
I
V
three people so far, me included
I want a HG non partsforming Zeta. With the G40 internals would be possible.
@@barrybend7189 I don't really think it's possible yet. Though with the current RG technology, I think it's possible to make an RG 2.0 with a way better transformation.
@@DONNY_G1028 well we got close with the HGCE Murasame. With G40 tech( and learning from the RG mistakes) we can get a HG Zeta to fully transform. The RG would also benefit from better RG skeletons as well.
After seeing how tight connections on recent RG kits like the Unicorn/Banshee are, I think it could really be possible to do a 2.0, and I can see the transformation being better. Probably still a little fiddly, but hopefully with a lot less pieces falling off when you look at it wrong (I swear I’ve never used more model glue on a Gundam...)
Speaking of raiiidddddd,
Oh no
Your transformation in paid endorsement mode was seamless.
Aegis has quite an impressive transformation.
It's complex and simple at the the same time.
The build fighters soundtrack hits me with the feels bro
Waiting to see how well Bandai makes the MG Kyrios.
I guess it'll be fine!
@@newbusinggrampsphone5574 As far as I'm concerned, it should share the same frame as the Dynames, so I have reasonably high hopes.
It transforms, which is why I think it has a diffrent frame. But maybe it won't be a problem considering the process is still simpler than Zeta.
Its awesome
How do you get the gundam that turns into a tiny one

Thank you random stranger
You're the real MVP here
The HG Asshimar might be worth an honourable mention, it has a complete transformation that is extremely solid in both MS and MA mode. The base even has a dedicated section for you to store the right trigger finger hand inside
When double zeta showed up.
“Unexpected, but welcome.”
Choatemister lol
Zeta's Waverider Mode is my favorite alternate form for a transforming MS ever, but the transforming process is surely a hassle. 😅
Having the PG Zeta, the transformation is beyond a hassle.
@@kivulifenrir I have the RG version. Broke its shoulders or arms while transforming into Waverider. I was able to fix it but it'll now stay in MS mode _forever_
Having both the PG & HGUC 2017 versions, and having had one of the MG versions...the PG is annoying to transform, the MG was okay, but that HGUC...bloody partsformer!! Only thing keeping me from hating it more than the PG is that the sacrifices made for the partsforming results in some sharp, impressive angles in both Mobile Suit & Waverider modes. That thing looks so clean & mean compared to the others!!
Mg Zeta plus C1, A1 was quite simpler to transform though.
@@gideon-ginowilliam6242 I think that the Zetaplus suits are just simpler in design anyway. I once had an older 1/144 Zetaplus C1 (from back when gunpla kits required *some* gluing), and the transformation was just beautiful. Maybe RGs of the A1 & C1 could fare better than previous efforts?
For that matter, how is the MG? I haven't heard very much about it, be it good or bad...
-Me: So the Wing Gundam has a good or bad transformation?
-Mecha Gaikotsu: Yes.
Same question becuase im planning to buy the wing gundam but i want to know if its good or bad
@@gamerx6565
*MG T.V. Wing -* Solid kit with a solid flight form but looks dumb from the bottom.
*MG Wing Proto-Zero-* Same thing as T.V. Wing.
*MG Wing EW Ver Ka-* A bit flimsy since it's an old kit but the flight form is solid and doesn't look dumb on the underside.
*RG Wing EW-* Is a solid kit at first (Except for the shoulder armor part that pops off easily) but will loosen up over time if you keep reposing or playing with it too much due to the preassembled inner frame, but the flight form is solid when you first assemble it.
*High Res Wing EW-* A fairly solid kit except for the wrist and neck joints that are a bit loose. But the flight form is as solid as a rock and an overall improvement when compared to the MG Ver Ka(also does not have a dumb looking underside).
*High Res Wing Zero Custom-* Same thing as the High Res Wing EW but the wings are very flimsy and loose and will need extra attention. Also the flight form is a plastic explosion waiting to happen and looks dumb from the underside.
@@Julius_Sneezer1 What about the HG Wing Zero? I've got one sitting in its box
@@mrcharlied4228 If you're talking about the HG Proto Zero then I don't really know since I don't have that kit but I do know that there is a bit of a parts formation with the bird mode. You have to switch out the feet and the thrusters that are attatched to the bottom of the feet. Other then that I don't know if the kit itself is good or bad, sorry.
@@Julius_Sneezer1 I have the RG WZ EW. everything listed is accurate. damn loose shoulders.
8:16 That's the *Wing Gundam ver. KA/EW.* Wing Gundam Zero Custom IS Wing Gundam Zero ver. EW. Silly Mecha.
_Although I blame Katoki for kind of being lazy with the TV redesigns..._ 🙃
3:32 The visual demonstration how Zeonic heat melee weapons works)
Heat hawk
Surprisingly accurate
Zeta plus C1 will always be my favourite wave rider mode in gundam universe.
I knew the MG ZZ ver. Ka would be number 1. I own it myself and when I did the transformation it was so smooth like cutting butter with a hot knife. It was so nice to have a transforming kit that didn't require other parts, or one that came apart at the slightest touch.
“I just feel rhythm” real hit me hard, I remember watching wing in my childhood, it was the first show I watched, I think I like 08th ms better tho
Aw, I actually think the big MG ReZEL is one of the best flight modes out there. The transformation might be a little finicky, but it can actually say that its flight mode does something more with the legs than just have them trail behind the rest of the kit like they were an afterthought. ReZEL Type C is one of the only transforming kits I can look at in flight mode and not immediately think "that's just a person lying on his face."
After I finished Double Z. I transformed it. Was sitting at my desk thinking something was missing. I looked over at all my other gunpla and saw Exia screaming at me, so I grabbed him and my phone. Needless to say, I now have several pictures of a surfing Exia! God I love Gundam!
The RG Zeta Gundam is an engineering marvel for Bandai at the time. They were able to engineer a complex transformation without any parts-forming on a *1/144 scale* gunpla. But that itself is what killed it. It undermined the structural integrity of the gunpla making it really shitty. Maybe if the RG Zeta was 1/60 scale, and also use a better plastic, it might've been able to hold itself together
I was straight saying ZZ gundam the whole video and I called it. I'm buying one this Christmas
Its a great build with very nitpicky downsides that can be fixed with a tiny bit of paint. I loved building mine
watch out for the anklejoint though, mine broke on the first try moving it cuz it was so tight!, still waiting on a replacement part 1 year later
If this video was made a bit later, I bet the MG Kyrios would have made the best list :O
What do you actually think of the MG Aegis' transformation though, aside from the weird Squid Monster form? It was my only transformable kit, so I had nothing to compare to, but considering the terrible things I had heard about transformable models, Aegis was surprisingly not that complicated to pose in both MA and MS mode, and both modes were quite solid.
Optimus: Now transform and roll out!
Me: but they don't have wheels
Optimus: then transform and fly out!
Well... Roll out can be other words for Deployed/commissioned 😅 not exactly needed wheels though
Well, most of these are "Transform, and space out!"
Hahahaha good
megatron:Transform and Rise up!
also Fenice has a variant that does roll out
@@Xeno-The-Wanderer The Fenice Liberta
Aiht, let me get my phone ... yes bandai, I want a ZZ gundam
Yo mecha, when do you think you'll be able to review the MG Barbatos?
21 jp release probably after christmas or new year. sadly, the only early birds are from canada, hk, korea and this week, us
If you want early review tune in to japanese builders and the GBT. Westerner youtubers tend get their kits 2-3 weeks late . I'm not pointing fingers here, it is just how it is.
@@roahnosh I actually bought 2 already
@@roahnosh ZakuAurelius already made the unboxing video though. It will be like another 2-3 day for review to out if he finished it.
Thanks for the video XD Aegis gundam was one of the first gunplas I ever bought and built, I laughed harder than I should have when you called it a squid at the start and end.
To be honest I like to make some weird looking Gundams that end up supposed jet mode, and my phrase that I use when making them is, “If it looks like a jet, it’s done,” and the phrase that I have used only once is, “If you can manage to get it to look like a chonky, but fast car, it’s done.”
3 words for the best one:
ANIME JA NAI!
HONTO NO KOTO SA!
Bro, I love you, man! I’ve been living a dull life till I stumbled upon your vid. And, as soon as I did, it sparked my passion to build and customize gunpla again. NOW I HAVE A REASON TO GO ON ONCE MORE! THANK YOUUU!
dude the hg arios gundam from 00 has an amazingly seamless transformation and it looks hella cool in both forms
heresy , where is yellow donut?
Yeah! He should seriously check out the HG Asshimar, for such an old kit it's amazing!
6:27 mfw I heard that as "Master Grade Excess Condom"
Hahahahahhaah WHEEEEZZE. JESUS THAF KILLED ME
And so does the automatic caption
Xs condom in the caption lol
Has its name for a reason
Remember to practice safe Zechs.
i built the RG zeta, and mines solid as a rock. no issues. transformation is complex and youve gotta take your time and pay attention, but i think its a lot of fun. and once its transformed the flight form is so rewarding. i love it
my best: HCM Pro Zeta gundam. Well...strictly speaking it is not exactly a gunpla, but I am quite impressed by how they managed to fit all those details and transformation into a 1:200 figure
Thank you Mecha Gaikotsu for finally giving us a review on transforming gundams! Wing was my introduction to gundams and I've been obsessed with transforming gundams ever since.
9:35 so I guess, now we know the real reason it was falling apart when Heero attacked Marimaia's bunker...
My first Gunpla, first Master Grade, and first transforming flight mode Gunpla was all one kit.
"And it's name is Epyon."
Second favorite only to Heavyarms, Epyon was just awesome. Not only was it a sick looking robot, but it could also transform into a twin headed dragon. Last I checked, that easily beats a jet.
Sadly lost it and other kits during a garage sale prior to moving a couple years ago.
I agreed.
I hope i can get the Epyon soon.
Don't forget the perfect grade Zeta. Once you transform that thing once it is never the same
Tat Wing ost still probably gives me goosebumps every time lol
Yes, thank you. I've always had mixed feelings about the gundam sandwich style transformations, they're so damn silly. As cool as the Hi-Rez Wing Zero looks in MS mode, and looks fine in Bird mode...from the top at least, the bottom just looks like the Wing Zero being carried by a giant bird on its back. Even when trying as hard as I can to hide it, it just bothers me a lot so I rarely transform it. Other iterations of this "new" Wing Zero Custom like the upcoming Snow White Prelude are kinda solving that problem though with a nice looking top and bottom transformed mode.
I'd have to say my favorite, as cliche as it is, is still Zeta Gundam. Specifically 2.0, as I could kinda see the RG one you showed here being bad coming kind of a mile away (I have a belief that if they can't get Zeta's transformation down without resorting to changing parts, its probably not gonna be good.). My 2.0 has really stood the test of time, and I'm even thinking of buying another one to better detail. Hazel II is really damn sexy though, but maybe that's because its transformed mode looks like the ship from Einhander. lol The Haze'n...whatever does look obnoxious but I'd probably just keep it in flight/mobile armor mode, since I think the ships look way cooler than the MS mode anyways.
Man I really need to get around to getting an Ex-S one day, it's so damn cool and thicc.
It's not Gunpla, a model, or even Gundam related, but I have to give a shoutout to the Mecha Damashii's take on the Gunbuster. Namely for just making it possible to even make a toy out of its transformation. It honest to god looked impossible to me when I first saw the anime.
To this day, I still prefer the TV ver of the Wing Gundam more than the Katoki ver.
11:17 - And I guess you could pretty much also say that Zeta will not exist without Macross (Because as I was told, Zeta was made to compete with Macross).
7:49 I've never seen a gundam with an AK!!!!! that's hilarious
The only reason I even have Aegis is because I could've sworn I grabbed Sazabi but didn't realize
As a proud owner of both MG ZZ Ver Ka and MG Enhanced ZZ Ver Ka
I completely agree with No. 1
really? I'm in the exact opposite camp. It is by far one of the worst kits I own.
Maybe it was just my version, but everything was loose, it couldn't pose because of the knee joints for the transformation literally making him jelly legs.
@@MHMtakeit It's more on you than the GunPla itself. Literally the only complains I see on the ZZ Ver.Ka is that it's not anime accurate.
Get Wing Zero Snow Take Off it going to be one of the best transformations
Some nice best and worst Gunplas. Thank you for showing this.
9:08 NUNI? IS THAT A JOJO REFERANCE?!
My favorite transformation is the Arios's, Its just so sleek, and simple!
arios is the kyrios on steroids
@@Maresot Oh yeah it is!
@@xenowreborn i really wish there would be a mg version but i dont think it would work with the same frame as the kyrios and dynames
where is kyrios, arios, aegis and saviour? so sad not in the list
Arios and Kyrios have an uninteresting transformation, literally they just rotate their legs and raise their shoulders.
Saviour is basically a upside down Delta gundam
Sad that Aegis isn’t on the list yea. Savior isn’t really that unique though it just turns into a jet basically.
i want saviour on the list just because you can transform it without add on parts or swapping of parts
sonicnote019 I’m pretty sure it’s his opinion and not the opinion of the Gundam community as a whole
Yup. Definitely love this channel. My favorite channel on CZcams, period. Much less favorite gunpla channel
The idea that the Titans had a secret fleet of Gundams named after rabbits from a 20th century childrens novel is one of the more wonderfully bizarre aspects of Gundam.
Age 2, Dark hound and Age w magnum has one of the best transformations.
It's simple, yet it doesn't look lazy. It's sleek and doesn't have robot mode kibble. How could you not love AGE-2?
End of season magnum is just too good. The flimsiness ruined it tho.
You have to try Gaplant.. its perfect.. i preefer the green
@@snap_fit8686 How about Bawoo?
@@alfianfahmi5430 i chose gaplant .
Being the dude that grew up watching the Seed series, I'm happy that Aegis somehow made an appearance. Hell, almost all the MAs in Seed are fine as well. Didnt really like Gundam Savior tho
id be surprised if anyone even remembered the savior
7:49 loved how the sound only comes from my LEFT earbuds
The Re-Gz falling apart at the transformation was so accurate to the show.
BUT- JAJAJJAJAJAJAJAJJAJAjajjajja... Pffff JAJAJAJAJAJAJJAJJA
I agreed wtih you on the Hi-Res Wing Zero Custom.
I owned one and i rather have it in MS mode. Keeping it in Neo bird mode is as hard as keep my money in wallet for Bandai. XD
Lol raid shadow legend is everywhere now
everywhere except in our phones
@@razor911 agreed lol
Actually, part-forming isn’t just a figure or a kit need extra part to complete the transformation but also remove a part and put somewhere else
Totally agree!! MG ZZ Gundam ver.ka has perfect transformation at the same time has many nice details and solid! I love it so much! Hope Bandai will produce MG Z Gundam ver.ka in not distant future.
it could be considered distant
Imagine not having Raid: Shadow Legends in your phone
Zeonbots roll out!
That ZZ Ver Ka looks beautiful! I wish I got into Gunpla when I had the money to spend on them!

Tornado Productions goddamnit
My best experience: Banshee norn rg.
Worst experience: funny enough, it's the aegis.
Rg Zeta . . . Rg Zeta 😱😱😱😱😱😱
For Aegis the MG or HG.
@@barrybend7189 the mg that I had just simply put fell apart on me.
@@ZonoYT I was asking as the HG is a proper transforming unit as well.
I LITERALLY CLAPPED MY HAND WHEN YOU PUT ZZ GUNDAM IN THE 1ST BEST TRANSFORMING GUNDAM!!!
These transformations reminds me of my first transforming model kit - Lbx Odin
That’s the EW Wing Gundam
8:31
It's wing ew
Not wing zero ew
Yes. Zeroes have twin buster rifles and yellow cockpit windshield on its shield.
Great vid, Mecha! I've always loved how you use humor to make your reviews more real. Keep up the Exia-lent work!
My best would have to be the original Wing0 even if if it is a Gundam with a shield on its back.
My worst would also have to be the Zeta. What a pain! Everything that can go wrong with the RG does.
Looking forward to your next vid!
Wing Gundam, Proto, EW and Epyon are my all time favorite transformable MS because its simple yet badass.
Just get a macross lol
>Says the Ex-S isn't a Partsformer
>All the Ex-S footage is him taking it APART to PUT IT BACK TOGETHER
this age2 is not from age anime series, is from the gundam build diver series
My man mentioned MP-44!! YEAAAHH!! (Well, not for $400+ and the big boy backpack XD)
Literally all of your problems with the RG Zeta, MG Delta Plus, and MG Victory can be solved by not handling your kits like a caveman. These are model kits. They will break if you handle them like action figures.
Also praising the wing EW while saying the tv version is bad... it's... literally the same transformation.
The best Gundam transformation is actually the Metal Robot Damashii Zeta C1 Plus.
Another video with minimal effort research.
I guess I missed memo about Metal Robot Damashii being gunpla.
Mecha Gaikotsu It technically is, just pre-built
lol
Robot Damashii is actually gunpla but built from the factory
First of all that's rude.
Secondly, figures don't count since this is a Gunpla list.
You sir, baited me with the space squid
I remember when i first built RG Zeta Gundam and tried to transform it..... It now lives in many.....many...... MANY pieces
Real grade Zeta’s transformation isn’t all that bad, it’s just that his legs are horrible.
Got the HG AGE-II Magnum SV as my very first gunpla kit and was not disappointed at all.
Aaaand surely made me want to buy even more kits. Guess it's time to say goodbye to my savings xD
You prepared your script so well men! Its hilarious! 😅🤣
0:22
Me "NANI!?"
Technically, every HG AGE 2 Variants can transform without using the replacement hip and still looks good and works fine
sitting upside down facing backwards is the special ability you need to pilot the ZZ
*giggles in Macross*
That moment when the first transformation kit to avoid like the plague is your favorite grunt suit and first MG. Mah poor ReZEL.
whaha yeah, dont understand what mecha has against it :p was one of my first builds too about 2 years ago and its still solid as a rock, transformation is awesome too imo :')
@@ApenBaard My only guess is the finicky splitting hips. I got it to work but it was annoying the first time but I got used to it afterwards.
First time seeing a bunny being slaughtered with ninjutsu 2:15
Hg arios would be my best. Its almost full transformation for an hg kit which is very rare and you end up with a pretty impressive alt mode
How dare you insult my beautiful monstrousity squid gundam. I just finished building it when this video come out and I regret nothing.
Judau pilots the core fighter (the smallest 1) that forms the body of the ZZ gundam. The front cockpit of the fortress is detached from ZZ, being the double beam riffle.
The HG Zeta and Saviour put me off partsformers for life.
I never knew that Aegis was a squid!
love how you matched the music of the gundam to the actual show
imagine being so rich that u buy two of the same kit just to display the different transformations 😂
