I will say this though, the HG we have gotten is actually a combination of the OVA version and the original manga version of the Atlas Gundam. Hence, this is why the railgun looks nothing like the one in the anime. The one in the manga is much bigger, and when the Atlas shows up first, it does a *number* of things the anime doesn't show. Like using the electromagnetic field generated by the railgun to deflect bullets. Or the incredibly absurd amount of power the MANGA railgun has over the anime version, which is still absolutely ridiculous. Check out the manga, good sir! You will not be disappointed.
If you've got a couple hours to kill and want to get it in one go, the December Sky OVA movie would be perfect! Latest episodes are only 20min-ish apiece.
Ooooh, I'm sorry. Foot in mouth and forgot what I wrote down. My bad! The manga adds a lot more backstory. I just wish it updated more often. I'm running dry on mecha series to watch!
I absolutely freaking love the way you do these reviews man. Especially your word choice/usage! They still make me laugh (or bring a smile to my face at the very least). I watch these every morning they are released (as possible), before getting ready for work. Entertainment value = very high!
i love the kit but i recommend paying extra for bandit flower version it gives you proper shield and railgun plus better coloring but its still amazing and good video
I wanted to get this and the MG thunderbolt Gundam but they were sold out of MG Thunderbolt Gundam. So I got the Fumina Axsis Angel and The Special edition MG RX-78 origin with the leds
I was looking for a positive review. Wew. Because I shelled out cash to pre-order this beauty and other channels were talking shit about the Atlas. I was sad for a moment. Hahaha.
The only real "nitpick" I have with this guy (and this was a question I asked myself a lot when I watched "Thunderbolt") is this: the Atlas is definitely an awesome and unconventional Gundam, but this mobile suit is supposed to co-exist in time with the original RX-78-2. I remember watching the original and seeing everyone "ooh" and "ahh" over how advanced the RX-78-2 was, but the Atlas makes Amuro's Gundam look primitive. When I look at the two side-by-side, it's a little hard to believe they're contemporaries. But as a kit, wow, this thing is amazing for a 1/144 HG. I'm curious to see what a master grade Atlas would be like.
+Michael that's a common problem people find with Thunderbolt, and there's an easy explanation: Thunderbolt is in its own alternate UC timeline. While it does technically take place during the OYW, the writer was given permission to write whatever the hell he wanted instead of trying to make something that fit in with all the hundreds of other OYW stories. That's why the tech is so insane, and why all the MS look different.
I guess that's good enough for me. Frankly, in the end I care more about how good the story is and so far, "Thunderbolt" has been great, with interesting new takes on OYW-era mobile suit technology, pilots & supporting characters with fascinating backstories and quirks and a dark, gritty, morally gray look at both sides of the war. That being said, I feel like OYW Amuro Ray would have given an arm and a leg to swap out his RX-78-2 for this puppy. =P
In Thunderbolt the federation captures the MS Zeong so the tech could have derived from there. I also see some similarities between Atlas as the mobile suits in Chars Counter-Attack. I definitely agree, it is way too different from the UC universe and you could argue it disconnects because the Z and ZZ suits are more traditional RX models.
+fishpop it's an in-joke. We were talking once and he pronounced niche "nitch" because he's from Texas, so I jokingly proceeded to mispronounce a bunch of other French-originating words during the rest of the conversation.
+M E yeah, but the paint will be prone to chipping, fading from direct sunlight exposure, etc. Also, if you only painted some parts of the kit and left the rest bare plastic the difference in finish will be super obvious.
I do recall that the Nu *doesn't* have polycaps, so i guess that means i have *two* cap-less kits. Speaking of kits; i got the P-Bandai ZZ Zssa today! ^_^ It reminds me of The O.
+Jetfire48 it's not like they can't fit in another new mold MG. So far everything we've gotten this year reuses older tooling to some degree except for the ZZ. That should leave enough of their budget to squeeze in an Atlas at the end of the year.
I mean, it's an HG. And I *hated* the color inaccuracy. So I painted 90% of that fucker. The last thing I have to do is the sublegs, weapons, and a few more touchups. So. Damn. Worth it.
MDViper Studios way too many? Your joking its amazing bandai got so little stickers considering how complex the design is besides a majority of the stickers are yellow circle lining

+Huckebeine I've been meaning to. I started it a while back, think I got up to where they were testing the legs for the Psycho Zaku.
If you've got a couple hours to kill and want to get it in one go, the December Sky OVA movie would be perfect! Latest episodes are only 20min-ish apiece.
+Huckebeine oh I've already seen the anime lol. More curious to read the manga just because of how clearly cut down the ONA is.
Ooooh, I'm sorry. Foot in mouth and forgot what I wrote down. My bad!
The manga adds a lot more backstory. I just wish it updated more often. I'm running dry on mecha series to watch!
Huckebeine then start reading mangas here's a great manga to start with getter robo then getter robo g the shin getter robo, and the getter robo go
I want it just for those SMGs...
WAIT A SECOND!!!!!
Why is a nerf UA-camr here?
I'm done questioning things now.
did you know you can measure his excitement by counting the number of times he says freaking in his video?
The Atlas is amazing!
Was thinking of making a build on him eventually based on how well he moves.
I absolutely freaking love the way you do these reviews man. Especially your word choice/usage! They still make me laugh (or bring a smile to my face at the very least). I watch these every morning they are released (as possible), before getting ready for work. Entertainment value = very high!
+Andrew Keller thank you!
I would love if they made an rg of this. But, until then, i will be saving up for the bandit flower ver
still waiting man
Really nice to see that it can dual wield the machine guns.
Would love to get this as I LOVE UC ace Gundams but this one is too expensive. Hopefully an RG or MG comes out one day.
What a coincidence you made that link with build fighters, a week before the new project is announced.
i love the kit but i recommend paying extra for bandit flower version it gives you proper shield and railgun plus better coloring but its still amazing and good video
this would make a fantastic MG.
I wanted to get this and the MG thunderbolt Gundam but they were sold out of MG Thunderbolt Gundam. So I got the Fumina Axsis Angel and The Special edition MG RX-78 origin with the leds
+Gundoge87 cool!
i remember when this kit got quite a bit of hate on it, now its becoming more respectable. Can't wait to see how people make custom ver.'s of this
6:09 HG 00 Gundam can do the front and back splits without needing a hip swing joint and it's 9 years older than HG Atlas.
LOve the Atlas and Thunderbolt designs
awesome reviews! hope you get more subscribers soon!
+Kyrios Santos thank you!
You should’ve used a beam saber effect or something to point out detail stuff so we dont have to look at a zoom in of your finger. Imo
i can see someone using this kit for the base of an attack on titan themed gundam. you would have to modify the thrusters but it could work.
For some weird reason, they made the entire kit based on the Manga version and made the actual anime version P-Bandai.
Okay, you sold me this.
I was looking for a positive review. Wew. Because I shelled out cash to pre-order this beauty and other channels were talking shit about the Atlas. I was sad for a moment. Hahaha.
The rail gun looks more like the one in the manga.
viking gundam was a boat gundam before it was cool xD
Heroduothecomedian 😂😂😂😂😂
Edgar Valdez well it was lol

Hg zeta revive can do that split
For painting the yellow rings on the joints. Dumb question, but can i use yellow gundam marker and a toothpick to color it?
will be hard as painting yellow on a dark color is really hard.
Thanks thats good to know. I'll probably go with the stickers instead, they don't bother me much.
+Kevin Blanco/Graypanda1300 you could, just remember that you'll need to use at least three or four coats, maybe more.
Oh ok. Though its good to know.
Normally I hate to be that guys, but Im disappointed that you didnt panel line this kit before the review.
+ShokyReviews ...
touchy
aaand he dindnt use all of the sticker decals :P also your reply is on point second
Did you mean "Touchy" (Easily offended) or "Touche"? (Acknowledging
a good/clever point made at one's expense by another person)
***** he means the clichee way to say touche where shoky lives ^^
+fishpop it's an in-joke. We were talking once and he pronounced niche "nitch" because he's from Texas, so I jokingly proceeded to mispronounce a bunch of other French-originating words during the rest of the conversation.
Well the build burning was made for Reji, right?
Hey, dumb question: Can you paint a kit and then NOT topcoat it?
+M E yeah, but the paint will be prone to chipping, fading from direct sunlight exposure, etc. Also, if you only painted some parts of the kit and left the rest bare plastic the difference in finish will be super obvious.
Okay thanks for the tip!
The only kit that i have that *doesn't* use polycaps is the Nobell Gundam.
Do the MG Nu Ver KA, Musha & Buster use polycaps? I can't remember.
+fishpop Buster yes, Musha probably, pretty sure Nu doesn't.
I do recall that the Nu *doesn't* have polycaps, so i guess that means i have *two* cap-less kits.
Speaking of kits; i got the P-Bandai ZZ Zssa today! ^_^ It reminds me of The O.
fishpop MG F91 uses no polycaps
I don't have the MG F91 and i probably never will.
I'm mainly a 1/144 collector because i don't have enough room for 1/100s.
fishpop MG F91 is fairly small heck theres HGUC kits bigger than it
Someone might hate me for saying it but this gundam reminds me of the arbalest from FMP....
Kinda, they do both have big guns.
Are you getting the gundam evolution project zeta gundam ?
+Miguel101 yes!
hi,
just got into gundam and wanted some suggestions for a sick looking hg kit. any recommendations
+mahir asif Gundam Schwartzritter, Gundam Banshee Destroy Mode, Gundam Vidar, 1.5 Gundam, and Gundam Exia Dark Matter are all great choices.
Channel 2S: Gunpla News and Reviews thanks man appreciate it
+mahir asif no prob
And are going to make a live build of the MG rezel ?
+Miguel101 not planning on building it live, no.
How cool would a Master Grade of this kit be? 2S, what do you think the chances of that happening are? Also, great review man. 👍👍
+Brian Wood it would be amazing and I'm hoping and praying that its our December MG this year.
Channel 2S: Gunpla News and Reviews considering atlas gundam's design it probably would be a ver Ka kit so I doubt it would be a December MG
+Jetfire48 we got two ver Ka kits last year, there's still a chance.
Channel 2S: Gunpla News and Reviews wasn't one a retool of a MG zaku 2.0 though
+Jetfire48 it's not like they can't fit in another new mold MG. So far everything we've gotten this year reuses older tooling to some degree except for the ZZ. That should leave enough of their budget to squeeze in an Atlas at the end of the year.
I need an mg for this....
HG 1/144 ATLAS GUNDAM [GUNDAM THUNDERBOLT BANDIT FLOWER Ver.]
imma rule 34 atlas and guncannon aqua HG's
Errorcutive imma stop you right there buddy
BadBatchTGD no stop on the shipping train :V
Godspeed my friend... godspeed....
I'd ship it. I need more Anthro MS in my life.
All the Gundam Rule 34 i've seen is of the humans. :(
Gonna need a drum and a piano replica...... hmmmmmm
oh god i did not realize that the atlas looks like try burning
+BadBatchTGD I didn't either until I put them side by side and now I can never under unsee it
Channel 2S: Gunpla News and Reviews do they share few parts or just a look-a-like design
+BadBatchTGD just look-alikes.
I made a bad decision when I got the front skirt armors...
I they customize that kit to make it better
So it’s all polystyrene right? 😐 I’m about to get one, and seeing this review made me feel scared.
RK Cipher from my knowledge it’s execute greatly in this kit.
still waiting for the HGUC barzam
And the gundam ground type S
I want a hg thunderbolt gogg
+adam husairi you and me both, man.
Funny how a lot of the hip design is replicated in the RG Nu...
its only 11/10 bcos the railgun should have white parts.
It's the manga ver not OVA ver
Wish I have money!
Even with all the stickers, it's still missing an ass ton of color apps dude.
I mean, it's an HG.
And I *hated* the color inaccuracy.
So I painted 90% of that fucker. The last thing I have to do is the sublegs, weapons, and a few more touchups.
So. Damn. Worth it.
Casey Jones it's still a pretty complex Gundam design...
what's the anime called?
edge the hedgehog Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt (the atlas Gundam was in the 2nd Season)
thanks
long range weapon feel bad
I don't like the white hands
paint em XD , just takes a grey spray can
Hey man those legs aren't just for show!
gundam thunderbolt episode 6 reference hahaha
gundam thunderbolt episode 6 reference hahaha
17:17 I guess you could say that you have a Gunboat eh eh.
i hate stickers
wayyy too many stickers
MDViper Studios way too many? Your joking its amazing bandai got so little stickers considering how complex the design is besides a majority of the stickers are yellow circle lining
well yeah the places which arent stickered yet detailed are impressive
Ur stickers r sloppy on there u need to redo it I would paint it
