I see the mobile armor is really living up to being named after angels. These things look just as incomprehensible as every other depiction of biblically accurate angels lol

I've always wanted to see this kit bashed with another IBO kit. The Hashmal always felt more like an incomplete giant mobile suit than a mobile armor, to me at least. Feels like it needs legs and waist armor.

4:43 you’re not wrong, the Hashmal is 35.2 meters, so in kit form it *should* be bigger, or maybe it’s the stand, yeah the stand.

We really need the calamity war in a manga or a movie

The epicness of the battle that involves this beast makes the kit insta-worthy. Not a bad kit at all. I was expecting something way worst.

I'm pretty sure bandai pulled some bullshit with the size of this thing, gaikotsu mentioned how it looked quite a bit bigger in the anime, but at the same time I feel like the plumas were waaay smaller

This and the HG Barbatos Lupus makes me want to get a Helwige Reincar Just for the sword, and a piece of Hashmal fotter

I wish the Hashanah was larger or it came with a smaller barbatos lupus. As in universe its much larger. A whopping 35 something meters long and fairly tall. A MG hashmal would fit the HG barbatos lupus better

Whoa has it already been that long? Time flies!

He forgot to mention that you can fold the arms up into the shoulders as a kind of hover mode.

Literally just finished watching IBO again. I forgot this was even a kit!

I would seriously love to see what some of the other mobile armors looked liked

Mecha, I'm liking this kind of format on your videos. A bit of building process and thoughts at the beginning really put viewers into the right perspective when looking at the model kit you're reviewing. Kudos!

According to the wiki, hashmal is merely a class. There is about 10 classes of mobile armors, that being Chariot, Orphan, Ereli, Hashmal, Seraph, Malak, Eloh, Beneloh, Cherub and Ishi. They only explained about the chariot and orphan class mobile armor, that being the commander or leader, and second in command respectively.(oh, and hashmal beimg a ground-only unit and having a beam weapon. These might be one of the hashmal's main characteristics that differs it from the others) The following descriptions of mine for these classes are just presumptions We'll start off with the most easiest of the bunch, the ishi class. Says in wikipedia that these angels(also known as ishims in judaism) are barely within reach of human knowledge. We can presume that these types of mobile armour are almost identical to the proportions of that of a human. And in short, humanoid. This class is quite special as this humanoid-like ma can be adaptive to their surroundings and resourceful, able to use handheld weaponaries. Only downside is that their movements might be predictable and as limited to that of a mobile suit. Characteristics of the cherub class might be that their body are the smallest of these 10 classes. Also said in wiki that they're throne bearers of the deity, we could say that they're transport units. Able to drop off more dangerous ma or plunas then retreating to regroup more reinforcements might be these lil' bastards' jobs. Eloh means god while beneloh means arch-angel. As my only simple logic of 'god creates all beings' , yea, these classes will be the engineer types or medic type, repairing damages or making new plumas or more supplies. The beneloh classes will be the defenders of these eloh class ma. Malakhim's whole role according to wiki is to rid daemons from our world. So, you make them specialised only for space as in doom eternal, demons comes from damn Mars or something. Seraph class mobile armors are the main and most common ma to be seen, as in wiki, seraphims will remind humanity that god is holy. Or what better way for humanity to remember ancient machines of death, pure destruction. Send in artillery strikes, folks! Erelim will report to god from afar on what tf is going on in the human world. They will be the recon types, collecting information and providing their findings to the chariot class ma[and in ibo fandom, there's only 1 chariot class ma, that Agnika Kaeru(a.k.a, bael) defeated]. You can also make them sniper types. And i have successfully gave a piece of my brain. Adios *vapourised from world*

Today I found out you can panel line when it's still on the runner.

Not sure why but the Hashmal reminds me of the Neros Gundam when it became infused with DG cells :o

Something I thought you'd like to know, turns out the hands on the 1/100 FM Barbatos Lupus Rex Have the same sized ball joints as the HG IBO kits. Do with this information what you will

Man I need this kit. It’s the only kit from the ibo hg mainline that I need to complete my collection but the resale prices are ridiculous.

I want to turn those large wings into wing binders like on the Qubeley.

Every time I see the Hashmal, I can't help but be amazed. But in the back of my mind I was like "if it weren't for that idiot Iok, we might have never seen this magnificence", and I'm torn if I should appreciate it or not

6:06 The shoulders are hollow because the legs fold up and are stored in the shoulders when in long distance transport mode. You should've covered this in the review. The instructions absolutely pointed out the transformation segment where the legs fold up and store inside those shoulders.

Missed opportunity that this should attach to Barbatos as an external weapon/armor. Still one of the top Gundam fight scenes: Lupus vs Hashmal👍

I actually bought the Hashmal a long time ago. Isn't built yet, but I did take the sword for Barbie Lupus. Thanks for reminding me to check I still had it xD

I loved the Hashmal in IBO and got my local anime store to get me the kit when it came out, and I'm pretty happy with it. The jiggling on the stand always make me nervous, though.

Fun fact in the frame of the hashmal near its neck, there is a molded power symbol in there the same as the symbols in Barbatos' 4th form shoulders and knees.

The only machine in IBO series that has beam weapon equipped.

My one big gripe with this kit is that they give you only one pluma kit. For it's price, they could have at least thrown in at least another one. Or they could have just made that pluma set a regular release like all the option parts and not a p-bandai one. That really took away the awesomeness that this kit would have had out of the box.

Hey Mecha you are my older brother's idol! He watches your videos everytime you upload!

Finally i've been waiting for you to review this

Seeing as this is buried on Mars, and part of the moon is permanently destroyed in the Calamity War, what if there was a Mobile Armor meant for space thats also buried on that destroyed moon?? 🤔 Kind of like Big Zam but its from ibo or something

It's been 5 years?! Damn feels like yesterday. First year highschool when iron blooded orphans was released. The first one i bought was the schwalbe graze. And now, I'm in College! Can't even buy kits anymore. Maybe when i graduate and find a job I'll start building again.

This was actually one of the first hg kits that I built. I loved the idea of the inhuman shape, and general heck this thing gave Barbatos Lupus. As long as it fits, I'm good

I've see some part of this MS was taken to upgrade the Barbatos lupus to rex the Tail blade,legs and other parts

That looks AWESOME ! I hope we get a Metal Build Version. !

Definitely worth it. You want to buy the Pluma extension pack as well for the complete unit. The Plumas are a little big though.

I just finished IBO and this is right on time where i can savor the hype on the kits XD

I really love watching Mecha's Bokksu ads

I think the sword (and some accessories on the Option Sets) are from the Manga version of IBO or some of the videogames from Gundam Extreme.

I'm lucky I had got one when it first released. One of my favorite display pieces

I’m just looking at those wings and thinking how cool they would be to kitbash them for shoulder armor on a custom kit.

Cool new video about Gundam iron blooded 🔥

I got this kit a few weeks ago and today just now actually the elbow snapped and the other elbow is cracked after looking at the other elbow I found out the joint for it isn’t a whole circle whereas the lower arm is which causes the stress to the joint and snaps it

Damn mecha, your boxu ads always got me drooling

I was wondering if the kit can be turned into a full blown mod pack for Barbatos. cuz the rex was created with wreckage of hashmal.

A Barbatos-Hashmal kitbash would be so sick.

Been waiting for the review finally I still also want it

Those snack boxes have mighty tasty treats ( I enjoy exploring the different styles and tastes whenever I'm in Japan and bring back many ) 😭 😭 I can't wait until I get to go back I miss melon bread and tiramisu puffs and pumpkin puffs 😡 I saw the kit in gundam base then saw the box size and thought if only my luggage wasn't already over full ( then again I thought that about every kit with large boxes 😡😣 I still NEED a neo zong or 3 )

Does the Hashmal's tail blade fit at the back of the HG Lupus Rex? IMO the blade's design looks cooler than the Rex's

I do think it should be a bit bigger because the Helmwige Reincar's buster sword was as big as Hashmal's body. (the scene before Mikazuki finished it with a stab) I also wish there was a way to attach the pluma to Hashmal, since Hashmal makes them.

Ive waited years for you to make this review

still really want this kit but cant find it at any of my local hobby stores

It's the only model kit of the hashmal so yes. I need it

I've been waiting for this🤩

I hope everyone is having a great day

Well there is bundle for this kit where you could get the Hashmal, Lupus, Fullcity, and Flaurous in one

Lost my mind when this angry bird was shown on screen back when I was in High School, ah the good old days.

Yeah it's alot ambler in model kit forme I measured the front skirt compared to the lupus and yeah it's a he'll of alot smaller but it's HG SOOO

The Hashmal looks like a long lost edgy brother to the Metal Gear RAY

I can't wait to get one

It looks like a Qubeley that was given the Zeong treatment.

Damn Lupus still looks cool. I hope Bandai make the MG version soon

He’s done it!

sometimes i wish you bust out the gundam markers for the simple things like the new sword for barbie or the drill

Try to mount that mobile armor on the barbatos!

Be nice to see this in a MG kit.

damn. he actually got it

I kinda wish we could see the lupus Rex face off against this thing for round 2. Big new mace and tail VS tail god it could have looked so awesome if not more than the lupus fight.

how awesome would it be to get a series for the ibo calamity war

you should make a review on the psycho zaku

Hey mecha can your review eather the hg 00 raiser or the hg 00 seven sword also if you plan to review the 00 raiser get the one with both of them in one box because that includes the gn sword 3

"nothing like it" me looking at Sid from Gundam Age 👀

Hey, is that the barbatos MG size comaparison? I found hashmal here but its a littble bit pricey. Just wanna check the size comparison with barbatos MG

they need to make an mg pack wit the flaurous and the small bois are extra

PLEASE DO A KIT BASH WITH THIS!!!!!!!!!

Mechagaikotsu transforming in MechaVampyatto

Hey Mecha Gaikotsu have been looking to buy my next gundam, and was thinking of getting a master grade this would be my first MG so any suggestions?

the swird should be with tge regular hg barbatos lupus

what if bandai did BAF (BUILD A FIGURE)(Build a gunpla) one runner or two inside a FM 1/100 then create a hashmal if you got them all that would be great.

after doing some math It is a bit smaller then it should be compared to a barbatos lupus high grade

Every time I see a notification from machagaikotsu i click

Hey mecha are you going to get the metal robot spirits lupus?

Hey mecha can ya review the byarlant and zeta plus?

Dude I’ve debated back ordering it for months but figured it would never show up haha

Will you ever make a video of hg banshee with claw (Marida version)?

Huh it is the same size as barbatos ? If i'm not mistaken in the anime this thing is about three time the size of barbatos. Idk if bandai purposely make this thing smaller than it should be or it was made bigger in the animr

Wait for the mg

Pls review hgbf leopard da vinci Gm/gm inner frame come from that kit

the scale is out of wack as it doesn't seem to be 1/144 scale as it looks smaller, same with the HG Gusion that for whatever reason is shorter compared to the other Gundam Frames, also the fact that the Hashmal is meant to "give birth" to the Pluma inside its body.

I've been collecting HG IBO kits recently and I would definitely love to have this....but I am not going to pay the scalper price. Not worth the 100+ price tag.

I low-key forgot this existed

Were did you get it

Will you be reviewing the Barbartos Lupus metal build robot damishi?

I regret not buying this when it was first released and I can't seem to find it again.

4:04 to skip ad.

The only ibo kit that includes beam effect am I right?

Went back to see the size of the hashmal as it was definitely bigger looking in the anime, and where the barbatos lupus is 19 meters the hashmal is 35.2 meters, under twice the height of the barbatos. Honestly I think they messed up on the measurements cause the hashmal looked to be at least maybe 45 meters or so as it looked more than twice the size of of a mobile suit in the ibo universe.

I thought the pluma would be smaller and the mobile armor would be bigger

Neat! Speaking of Barbatos, did you already finish your giveaway?

If Hashmal had a proper torso for the legs to attach, it would be an IBO Metal Gear Ray
