my favorite genre of Gundams and Gunpla is just when they let the designer go buckwild. Like the FA-78 Full Armor from Gundam Thunderbolt.
look at this dickhead. he doesn't need four shields. he probably doesn't even need two shields. and look at all those decals! fucking impossible to apply, most of them weren't even in the anime because fuck animating all that.
if that doesn't tickle your fancy, what about Full Armor Unicorn from Gundam Unicorn?
look at this fucking shithead. he has like a bajillion weapons. giant thrusters on the back that need their own little stand. this is the Real Grade so it's a bit more "realistic" but it's still fucking bullshit. absolute bullshit.
those are some recent Katoki designs (Katoki is the designer known for being batshit insane with his designs) but look at this design from the nineties. Ladies and Gentlemen, i give you Gundam Heavyarms.
fucking. bullshit. his chest and his shoulders open up to reveal a gazillion guns? ok. and he has another gun strapped to his arm? it's stupid, but it's not the stupidest thing so far.
THIS IS
ITS THE SAME SUIT BUT THEY STRAPPED THREE MORE GUNS ON IT
AND HAJIME
FUCKING
KATOKI MADE IT
I KID YOU NOT WHEN I SAY THAT THIS GLORIOUS BASTARD HAS FILLED EVERY WAKING SECOND OF MY LIFE
I TELL MY MOM "hey mama, i just got a new gundam!"
AND SHE ASKS ME IF KATOKI MADE IT
BECAUSE HE HAS INFECTED MY PERSONAL LIFE
hes a fucking bullshit stupid man with too much time on his hands and i simultaneously hope he stops designing gundams for my sanity's sake and also i hope that he lives for a thousand more years and draws a ton of cool robots so i can build little plastic modesl of them.

I might have a slight problem
So since my last backlog update I’ve added: Durga I, Sol Raptor, AUV Amaterasu Regalia, Noir, Ilshana, MGEX Strike Freedom
Also I needed to put the Virtue box sideways so you can properly see just how massive that kit is (well not really like size massive but weight massive).
Since then I’ve built: MG Kyrios, HG Calibarn, HG Schwarzette, HG Guntank, 30MS option part set 6, 30MS Luluce (mid progress while I figure out how to make the noir jacket work).
Be warned and stay safe kids. Plastic crack is real.

The tonal whiplash of watching Gundam Thunderbolt is insane! You just watched someone forced to get his right hand surgically removed (last of his 4 limbs), so he can pilot the new experimental giant robot, and then Bandai hits you with a commercial to buy the fucking toy of said giant robot.
Like, of course I'm gonna buy it, but can you at least give me a minute to process what the fuck just happened in your war-is-bad cartoon

At first i thought it was ridiculous, but if a society has enough resources and materials to make 40 tonne death machines, they most certainly have the materials and resources to give it a cape.
