Makes sense. Despite being one of the oldest transformable mobile suit designs, Zeta Gundam still has one of the most majestic flight forms around. So, using a lot of elements from its design helps a lot. Ever since, they've tried all sorts of ways to transform flying MS. Many end up looking awkward for a flying machine or look ok until you see the mangled robot's face from underneath.
We honestly need more transforming Mobile Suits in Gundam. Delta Kai, Union Flag, Arios, and Murasame Kai are proof that they can look really cool especially as model kits.
to me, the most impressive aspect of the fighter/MA mode is that it actually looks like a jet. as opposed to most other transformable suits, that just look like a folded MS(because that's what they are). so you can present it in MA mode and it actually looks like that's the default mode.
2:05 I mean one design is supposed to be a gritty ground pounder and the other one is an aircraft. It still tracks. Look at how ground vehicles are set up compared to aircraft. One has to be as smooth as they can get away with.
Best 144 gunpla partsformer still AZ gundam in my heart. It was cool, have two big gun that can slap together, have separated Kneecap, moving and detailed back skirt, and finally have a shield + beamsaber combo in one.
@@marcusdion5672 Well I’m not a big UC fan, and enjoyed 00 way too much, so I’m guessing they’re just different. Though it seems to me that Innovators have bigger feats than Newtypes.
Really looking forward to this kit appearing where I live, love the design! Probably my favourite Gunpla flight form out there. Do really hope we’ll get a Revive version of the original Murasame with the forward-swept wings, but I realise that’s probably wishful thinking.
I actually like that they used partsforming for this kit. If they didn't, they would have probably sacrificed a lot of the structural integrity of the kit for the transformation. At least with partsforming it looks near perfect and structuraly secure unlike some kits with a transformation but they either look daft or they're not too strong.
6:08 Something about the way those beam sabers are bent and crooked (and show this distinct candy pink under the lamp) brings me immense nastalgia. Reminds me of my first kits when I was 10...The world was magical back then
My College Self: I will buy the murasame one day My Present self: Why should i buy the old model if i can buy the improved one? Ah what the heck, i can buy them both on christmas 😁
I feel like this is the first Seed kit that I genuinely vibe with. Like most other kits either feel like they’re trying too hard to be “re-vamped og” or do weird stuff that I don’t really vibe with (like making the wings not actually meant for flight or propulsion but for storing giant gauscannons and railguns) Between this, the Astray, and the Windam I just think the design philosophy for Seed was perpetually stuck between “real robot” grounded designs and “super robot” fuck it we ball designs and it made so many suits go from ‘oh neat’ to ‘oh…neat…’
Still stand by the 80's 1/144 Zeta Plus model kit with a functional transformation while still being stable. Bandai has the resources to make a modern HG fully transformable without parts forming.
This is the one I've waiting for. I have the old murrasame but became brittle and some parts broke so i combine the standard and Andrew custom to have a one functional
Hang on.... I remember watching this yesterday. Is this a re-upload? 😅 Edit. My bad. It was the building video. This is what I get with a loss of sleep and working a night shift ahahaha
i like how they learn they mistake with zeta arm and change it joint so it more sturdy mine shoulder joint already broke so i just straight up change it myself
It looks cool in its flight form, but does it make sense for a mobile suit to have tons of large missiles hanging off of its wings without cover? With jets, it makes sense since they're always flying fast when in combat, and they can deploy the missiles faster. But mobile suits need to transform depending on the situation, and if they still have those missiles hanging on in humanoid form, it'll easily give the opponent a bright idea. Bright, in more ways than one.
I'm one of those heretics that's gonna cut down the v-fin (I know, I know, a curse on my House...) but I am in love with this model. Best MacrossGundamZetaSeed suit ever.
now if only we got these as HG kits (or even 2.0 kits seeing as they need updating) Dom Tropen M1 Astray the Zaku Warrior HG kits Gelgoog (UC) any of the Dagger mobile Suits
@@MechaGaikotsu no worries, mecha-senpai! 😁😁 Also My brain's totally forgot to add that Murasame kit does remind me of newer Macross Plus kits that parts formed but very very stable and decent displayable kits.
It’s not a Gundam, just a mass-produced mobile suit. The killer design and the V-fin give it such an awesome Gundam flair that it’s hard to believe they’re mass production mobile suits
I’m normally not a fan of PARTS FORMERS. If I want a Transforming Mech, it should be THE WHOLE MECH. (I admit, I’m picky.) but I admit, the DESIGN is near perfect! Especially since it gives me such ZETA VIBES.
Gotta say, I like the MS form more than the classic Murasame, but overall, I think the old one is a better kit. It actually transforms, not parts-forms, and it does a great job of it. It also has weapons, and, more importantly, it has LANDING GEAR! I was very disappointed that this Murasame Kai doesn't have wheels, so you can't just pose the MA form "on the deck" besides other, real-world 1/144 aircraft. That's laziness, Bandai...
Wow. It's the HG Zeta/HGUC Zeta/HGUC Revive Zeta...but on steroids!! Not a fan of the partsforming "transformation", but, if it means it looks great in both modes and is stable in both modes, I guess it works? But HGAC Wing Gundam & Wing Gundam ZERO are a thing and they absolutely transform, soooooo...??
For now I will still stand with the 1st Gen HG Gundam Harute… Perhaps in the future the HGCEs Murasame Kai and if there will be HGCE Saviour and HG Gundam 00 Series Gundam Harute Ver. 2.0 would be coming in at a very economical & affordable price… Kudos to HGCE Murasame KAI😎 *Brace for the Scalpers & Hoarders anyhow🤪
Man, this is so disappointing. The kit is awesome in both forms, but the clean transformation isn't there, so I keep having this feeling that the kit isn't accurate or complete. Which makes me conflicted, because BOTH forms looking SO GOOD. I love the sleekness and simplicity of this.... But I refuse to believe that Bandai/Namco couldn't have done a more clean conversion kit, like they did with Immortal Justice and Rising Freedom. It's a shame, because ALL of the kits from SEED Freedom look GREAT despite being HG.
From a few clips here on utube, it seems the Murasame Kai uses a transformation similar to the Zeta, and 1/144 scale transformable Zetas have... less-than-glowingly-positive reputation.
Maybe one day the transforming Guundam kits will be as good as Transformers, very unlikely, but it would be nice. The Zeta Ver Ka was the closest I've seen, but still behind them.
That is the best looking flight form I have seen in a Gundam; it looks like something out of Macross
I sorta prefered the design of the old murasame but this one has wayyy better engineering
I really like the Delta Plus
it looks like Zeta

Agreed
In SEED Destiny they're actually stored and launched in MA mode almost all the time.
Transforming mobile suits and gundams are always my favorite model kits
so buy mgsd wing zero .-.
6:09 the kneel pose looks really good
Murasame Kai, the "Zeta Plus" of Seed
The base Murasame is already the "Zeta plus" of seed
@@bladeazuma .....Zeta Plus Plus?
its funny you say that because the MA mode really reminds me of an "atmospheric version" of the delta plus.

Ah what the heck, i can buy them both on christmas 😁
12:22 that's a pair of fighter jet extra fuel inspired from real life aircraft.

Great review, I love the detail on the Murasame Kai! 🤩👏
Thank you! Cheers!
Aww you can't have a gerwalk mode anymore like the old Murasame. Also sad it no longer has the landing gear parts for MA mode.
we are so near from the mgsd wing zero release so, mecha gaikotsu, prepare to spend some bucks
I just ordered one today, my favorite ms in seed freedom, ive been waiting a long time for this
Amazing Flight Form 🔥🔥🔥
Holy, that is absolutely beautiful. My only wish was that they should have VF-19's variable sweep wing.
Neither this nor the EX were on my mind to buy. After seeing the EX with the murasame head...I NEED THEM
Hope they use this kit as a basis to do a new HG Murasame Kit.
Probably not. After the Akatsuki incident, they're probably not too keen on reviving old kits (especially considering how dirty they did the Buster).
This would look even more awesome in the Zeta plus C1 paint scheme!
We go "High way to the Danger Zone" With this one✈✈
Can't wait to see this channel reviewing the RG nightingale
Wow it looks like an MC suit. The movie designs are pretty great!

I wish this kit could’ve included 2 chest so you don’t have to parts form the chest too like the side skirts. But pretty cool HG.

I really wish the rising had those murasame type legs, just go for the full on zeta look
Recolor this with tricolor or gray, its gonna be Awesome 😁
With great model kit, comes with great scalper price.
I know it's a partsformer but that head and chest would make for a very pretty kitbashing base. 🤔
i want to see it compared to the old murasame seed kits
My only complaint: If the robot's hips aren't used at all for the parts-formation, why does the butt flap not have a hinge?
Do you think they can perfectly this kit in the future?
my kitbash soul craves those leftovers of the body
