2 High Grade Mobile Suits for the price of one?! Well there is a little bit of a catch, and that catch is that they are little. This is the HG Loto Twin Set from Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn, and this might just be the smallest Gundam Mecha HG around.

@thespikeheadboy3164 2 года назад

Well in the early UC 100's there were less conflict's so the federation wanted to use less money and have smaller but more powerful MS's. SNRI delivered on that with the Formula project and the F90

@lukabazookastj9462 2 года назад

It’s not though, Loto is a glorified armoured personnel carrier that has no purpose being a full scale MS. The F91 is the culmination of groundbreaking tech being hyper compressed into a small chassis for economical reasons. Seperate development trees too.

@Brawler_1337 2 года назад

Yes and no. Yes, the Loto’s operational data would be later used by SNRI in the development of miniaturized mobile suits like the F91, but the Loto itself is the direct ancestor of the Guntank R-44, which was developed by Anaheim Electronics during peacetime but was considered a failure and never made it past the prototype stage.

@casvalcat3546 2 года назад

@@lukabazookastj9462 lol nope. It's thanks to Loto miniature reactor they managed to perfected them on later mobile suits in late UC era. In the beginning, the Loto made according to ECOAS specs being small and stealthy but they find the Loto useful for future use so they decided to take Loto data to develop what we get in F91 & Victory.

The Loto plays the same role as a US Army Bradley. Armored personnel carrier(APC) and infantry Fighting Vehicle(IFV) all-in-one with minimal anti-armor support.

@reijigamer 2 года назад

The funny thing would be if they ever make an HG of this "successor", the RXR-44 (F-50D) Guntank R-44, then that would be the smallest HGUC kit but since the F91 kits are in 1/132 scale then the Guntank would almost be the same size(barely half a centimeter smaller if that) as the Loto.

@GojiraFan-in9oo 2 года назад

I'm still trying to find the HGUC Rozen Zulu Ep 7 version at the right price. Also, you should review this kit, Mecha. Anime accurate colors You can build the regular version Wire guided claw Great articulation Perfect companion piece to the Sinanju

@Tarkay-hs6jl 2 года назад

Last year I paid...$75 shipped for one on eBay (300% original msrp lol) The Episode 7 ver, so no wonky purple colors. I was (still am) building a Gundam Unicorn display so it was required spending, but after the build its kind of meh. The triple-wire claw's wires never look even or smooth and besides that, it doesn't do anything terribly special, and the fiddly white striping stickers are mandatory to look good, or hell to mask off and paint. The articulation is kind of bad, it can't really pull off the signature ballerina-pose when Angelo hands-off the fight to his Captain. However, it and the Sinanju do provide such a nice splash of color. You should decide for yourself if you really want it for your collection, but it does not need attention from any more reviewers; Zaku's review a few years back is plenty good enough.

@GojiraFan-in9oo 2 года назад

@@Tarkay-hs6jl pivot the hips, rotate the waist, and bend the head all the way up. All neo zeon suits from Unicorn have the sleeves problem. I'd recommend applying superglue with a toothpick. Zaku reviews everything, and his copy broke mid-review. Also, there are several ways to get creative with this kit, whether it be adding beam effects or using your own wires for the psycho jammers.

@theyusar8247 2 года назад

Kinda annoying when a regular kit you want doesn't seem to get reprinted. Recently bought a Zee Zulu at twice the original price. Seller claimed it was a 2011 release, and I'm inclined to believe him after seeing how bad the box look like.

@fishpop 2 года назад

One issue i have with the Ep7 Rozen Zulu is there's not enough polycaps to have both arm options. If you have kept the spare polycaps from other kits, like i have; this shouldn't be an issue. Though that's if you have the correct sprue going spare that didn't use the polycap needed.

@GojiraFan-in9oo 2 года назад

@@fishpop It's just one polycap that separates you from making both arms. I'm not sure of any other kits that have that same system. After some research, every Neo Zeon MS with the Geara Zulu base build has that same system in the arm. Is it possible to keep the upper arm the same and switch the arm beyond the elbow??

@Astronopolis 2 года назад

Didn’t realize it had such a large crew complement! At least a dozen dudes in there at any one time running it, makes sense that it’s such a small unit to reduce its chances of being attacked.

@dethkruzer 2 года назад

"Running it" might be a bit much, if what he explained is correct. Apparently it's 3-4 people actually operating the machine, and the other 8 using it as the world's coolest bus.

@normalguy5157 2 года назад

Majority of the soldiers inside this mobile suit are just passengers waiting to be deployed.

@treemannick2969 2 года назад

Tbh this is probably the most realistic MS, it’s essentially a transforming tank.

@kbbell 2 года назад

Nobody is going to see this but I'll be that guy and go ahead and say the mega machine cannon isn't a gatling gun. It is, in fact, four different machine guns in a single gunpod, they don't rotate. It's a minor difference but still. One PSP game, Gundam Assault Survive, the G-Cannon is absolutely broken because of it's two machine cannons. The suit itself is decent but upgrading the machine cannons to max means you just become a stationary death blossom. You can't move while firing but you auto aim and fire so fast that even bosses die in a few seconds if you hit, although they can easily kill you just as quickly because that game wants you to dodge like a spastic weasel. I upgraded it for fun and realized the game played itself afterwards.

@yapisigma 2 года назад

The smallest humanoid suit in terms of stature would have to go the Guntank R-44, which I think, was the basis for the Lotos with a very similar transformation gimmick. There's a NG 1/100 kit of the Guntank R-44 and if you adjust the scale to 1/144, between the two, the smaller one would be the R-44.

@casvalcat3546 2 года назад

If irl mecha development was such a big thing, a Loto inspired mech can "almost" be a replacement for troop transport in some manner. Of course have better options than missile pods for hands, like actual hands. Even some more computer operated turrets for minor threats. Nonetheless, it's operated by 3-4 people and while having 8 passengers. Plus it's a 2-in-1, mech and armored tank transport

@drvinylscratch1936 2 года назад

The loto is a cool suit. It reminds me of the mobile command thing from 08th MS team role wise as this makes sense as what it would be years later. It's an APC that transforms into an MS

@xavierktolentino8373 2 года назад
