This was they first attempt to make RG that transforms so I can forgive little hick ups that there are. After all this was nice start and if next onces get even better then there should not be any worries.
you are correct the transformation is not 100% proper, but nice review. i really like the rg zeta im thinking of getting 2nd one but holding out for a different color or wepon version maybe next year MAYBE! the only real problem with the kit is you really need to choose whether you want it in wave rider form or in ms form coz, the integrity of the plastic really degrades fast its not built to be transformed over and over again, i do have also the head action stand really nice addition to the rg
I decided to transform/re-pose my gundam models, as well as dust and clean them, out of respect for them, along with nostalgia purposes. Then I made the mistake of thinking of transforming my rg zeta gundam. I was so scared of breaking it, I had to come back to this video. I still like it though, even though I can get the front part to snap in.
since they are moving to seed destiny, it would cool if bandai make a rg murasame since it would have a similar transformation except for the wings but i really doubt it
the kit is cool and all but i wish they made it more secured and alot more stronger and tougher than the previous real grades, i think the high grades and master grade 2.0 got this in its corner in terms of connections and looks as well
Been looking at transforming gundms for a custom where the front fold up front like this Wonder if I can put the Gundam X Armor on the frame of zeta and make it work...
I recently got the HGUC kit, and while its a "parts-former" I really like its stability and general "solidness". Its an older kit, but I think it holds up rather well all things considered.
lol, i would know where to shoot if i was fighting the zeta gundam. the small fragile gray connections that connect the wings to the back of the main body.
My arm inner frame broke at the connection point when I was folding in the arms. And superglue isn't going to do anything, I guess, since it was literally right at the folding in point... The wings really are one of the best points of the model, with the fact that the whole flipping-out is only on one arm and the connection points into the shield don't need to be flipped out.
The Zeta's transformation, while an amazing feat of design that most modern gundams could never hope to achieve, is far too complex to try to pull off at such a small scale and as a model kit. It seems like a foolhardy exercise in futility to me. That said, how would the Chogokin Zeta in the same scale stack up considering its heavier material choices such as zinc and glue? I imagine the more primitive engineering would make the end result look worse, but be six billion times more solid and easy.
The parts that gave me the most trouble were definitely the chest and wings. They move in so many ways, it was tough for me to position them properly. The good part, though, is that once i got them clicked into place, it held together better than I was expecting. Unless I try to transform it into the Waverider It won't fall to pieces on me.
Definitely had trouble flipping the wings to the underside of this kit and snapping it together when going into waverider mode. I found it much easier to fold out the interior wings first before snapping it together, because then there would be a sort of template for the front skirts and arms to be placed into. But I'm going to assume you realized that during your review, lol
Y’all never played with a transformer as a kid I’m guessing because this is ez clap compared to the $50 transformers I used to get as a a Christmas gift
Oh dear!!!! I've just bought this kit, I'm waiting for it to be delivered, I can already see myself sweating!!!!!! Can't wait though, this isn't mt first RG, only the first transformable one! Thank you for the really enjoyable video
dunno man I like the gray bits, they give you a reason to do a good job while painting the inner frame and I am sure would look even better once fully detailed.
Kudos to Bandai for being able to make this transformation happen at the 144th scale, however I have to say the bigger scales win in terms of how clean the transformation looks after all is said and done.
Nice review, it seemed quite flimsy from the start but I guess it's a very good try for teh size they went for. Just a question though, between this, the Mg zeta 2.0 or the MG Zeta+ A1, which could be considered the better one?
At this scale, I honestly think parts-forming is preferable to being a flimsy, cluttered, complicated mess. I think the HG's parts-formation might even be faster...
Uhm....why not buy the zeta gunpla evolution project instead the HG one...great pose and articulation, pretty neat color seperation despite the huge stickers....and comes with a zaku head(if you watched zz gundam) .... and part seperation for transformation which is easy and a lot cheaper.
I think a Stormtrooper has a better chance of ACTUALLY hitting his target than transforming this thing correctly in the presence of Lord Vader, If Vader was a Gunpla fan.
just watching this video made me cringe. You really gotta re-read the instructions and follow each step, especially the diagrams indicating the final positioning of the joints to get it to fit right. For example, in order to properly connect the "wings" to the shield at the bottom you need to first extend the wingtips to make room for the arms and skirt armor to fit inside. but yeah, this kit is quite a hand full -__-'
Meme Wanderer if you want a gunpla that can transform without complex transformation, then I recommend you MG Wing Gundam and don't buy Endless Waltz Wing Gundam because Endless Waltz Wing Gundam can't transform.
yo rrobbert, about you start talking tranformation in 0.35, you do a wrong site in zeta gundam hand, not turn 90' yet! and something you not locked and something can turn but you not do! ...maybe you recording do fast...... ==;
The problem is that it's hard to make a 1/144 kit sturdy when you're trying to cram Master Grade level complexity to it. The plastic just becomes too thin and weak to really support a complex transformation.
This was they first attempt to make RG that transforms so I can forgive little hick ups that there are. After all this was nice start and if next onces get even better then there should not be any worries.
We miss you man but we hope you are having a blast
never assembled such a PAINFUL thing .... that transformation is a nightmare...
We need a metal build version of zeta..... Gunpla are you listening!!!!????
from the roughness, I am guessing white gundam marker, and wiping the excess off.

If RGs could get 2.0s, this one would be the first to get one.
Vladimir Mihnea then they better do Sinanju
@@MrRe-pg7fj Gramps got one, but he needed it.
since they are moving to seed destiny, it would cool if bandai make a rg murasame since it would have a similar transformation except for the wings but i really doubt it
Everyone: RG Zeta is a hand grenade.
Me, an absolute beginner and Zeta fanboy: *SORE DEMO!*

Wonder if I can put the Gundam X Armor on the frame of zeta and make it work...
This seems like a kit you buy twice. Once to get it in MS form, and another time to transform and LEAVE.
no, it makes it look RIDICULOUS. you need to see the end joke from him to get it
I recently got the HGUC kit, and while its a "parts-former" I really like its stability and general "solidness".
Its an older kit, but I think it holds up rather well all things considered.
Safe to say this transformation would never work anywhere but space.
I threw away 2 kits out of frustration trying to transform
Even though most of the parts dont stay together when you transform it it does a really great job with making it not look like a gundam.
lol, i would know where to shoot if i was fighting the zeta gundam. the small fragile gray connections that connect the wings to the back of the main body.
I can see so much stuff being broken during this transformation.
was thinking of getting this but still now sure about the real grade yet
There should be a zeta 3.0 since they got the ZZ transformation so solid
We got the verka and it was solid
My arm inner frame broke at the connection point when I was folding in the arms. And superglue isn't going to do anything, I guess, since it was literally right at the folding in point...

To bd fair, 00 has Arios. Sleek af
@@Bahamut8937 the arios has a simpler transformation
that is quite complicated stuff

It's even getting harder on MG version.
Everything fall apart by its weight.😔

How’d you go?
Good luck
I honestly like both the MG 2.0 and the RG since they are good in different ways
at 7:28, were you talking about the raider gundam and shin's sister?
master grade level? son, this is perfect grade level
dunno man I like the gray bits, they give you a reason to do a good job while painting the inner frame and I am sure would look even better once fully detailed.
painting a RG? you mad man.
@@LalienX calling me a mad man? you right

Why not buy the HGUC one if you want to do that? It even got the mega launcher cannon too.
Yes! He mentioned Macross!
Nice review, it seemed quite flimsy from the start but I guess it's a very good try for teh size they went for.
Just a question though, between this, the Mg zeta 2.0 or the MG Zeta+ A1, which could be considered the better one?
Watching the transformation hurts my brain
oh wait, there is no mega launcher in this RG?
At this scale, I honestly think parts-forming is preferable to being a flimsy, cluttered, complicated mess. I think the HG's parts-formation might even be faster...
1:20 for Harute and 4:40 for Zeta transformation
You know what, fuck this, I'm not transforming it. I'll just buy the action figure version or the HG.
i want this kit soo bad.. just to try transform it perfectly
So what you’re saying is... I shouldn’t bother transforming it lol
same problem, mine is the left one
The MG 2.0's transformation is a pain, but the larger size makes things so much smoother than this
I got this for a birthday gift. However I already own a RG zeta.
Anyone interested in the RG Zeta Gundam?
A bit late, but I am! XD
No worries here's the link. Shipping price will be recalculated
m.ebay.nl/itm/133308891545?_mwBanner=1&_rdt=1
it's not yet out yet isnt it?
i forgot you were even reviewing this kit...
Seed Destiny reference too.
plz make a video for each parts of ZT:(((
I don't like the transformation, so I bought two instead. One for the MS mode and the other one for the MA mode
So you bought and built two RG Zetas? My complements on your endurance.
Uhm....why not buy the zeta gunpla evolution project instead the HG one...great pose and articulation, pretty neat color seperation despite the huge stickers....and comes with a zaku head(if you watched zz gundam) .... and part seperation for transformation which is easy and a lot cheaper.
@@carloRX78K2 it doesn't come with a Zaku head. I actually own it so yeah
Woof, I think I'll pass & just keep my RG kit in MS mode & My HG kit in flight mode, this is crazy
I think a Stormtrooper has a better chance of ACTUALLY hitting his target than transforming this thing correctly in the presence of Lord Vader, If Vader was a Gunpla fan.
This seems like a kit where once you transform it you'll never want to do it again, or in my opinion anyway.
how did you do the white ink panel lining on the wings?
@Ken Chen I'd just use a mega launcher from a HG 1/144 zeta gundam and paint it up RG style
I like the grey showing on the top it makes it look REAL; see what I did there? Great review like always, keep them coming :P.
what's the first one?
that transformartion is very easy
Again, like with MG unicorn, rrobbert completely fumbled the transformation...
ahhhh, stick to high grade?
MG Victory Gundam, it literally wants to disintegrate in your hands.
I broke the waist while transforming the MG . And broke the arm of the RG
8:00 I think you forgot to edit that part LOL!

I got the RG wing gundam from endless waltz I wish I picked this mobile suit instead

@@jordan_ys but bird mode looks horrible
This transformation seems like it would irritate me lol...it's a shame cuz I love Zeta in Waverider mode
I'd say the Real Personal Trooper R-1 is a better transformer.
Just add in pvc.
gundam seed destiny anyone did anyone pick up on it
December 2009.
yo rrobbert, about you start talking tranformation in 0.35,
you do a wrong site in zeta gundam hand, not turn 90' yet!
and something you not locked and something can turn but you not do!
...maybe you recording do fast...... ==;
i never transform it again....i will brake the waist
Lol u worked 2 much on the Mg Nu Gundam Ver Ka and 4got bout RG Zeta.
your degree of sarcasm is very funny (^^,)

8:03 soo cute~~
i didnt have any problems
So...its pretty much like the MG in terms of difficulty to transform? Disappointing.
I guess first?, Good review!
7:25 haha what

Zeta's transformation is a bad design.
