Grunt suits aren't so bad, I personally love the JEGAN ECOAS cause of its tactical appearance and its weapons.
It's funny; I'm actually the polar opposite of your take on grunt suits. I love 'em. Zakus, GMs, Goufs, Doms, pretty much most of the mass-produced suits from the One Year War era are my favorites. Most of the fancier, prototype or current style of MS don't really appeal to me as much *cough SEED, 00, etc*. I'm a OYW fan all the way. haha.
I just like the "grittiness" of grunt suits, most of the "star" suits feel almost too Super Fighting Robot-y for me; I like the military realism of mass produced models.
With that said, Kampfer is ABSOLUTELY my second favorite suit of all time, after Gouf. haha. I'm strange like that.
+Todd Renstrom (SD Dragon) Totally. Took the words outta me mouth!
Yup.
I really like the RX-79(G)
I'm the same man, I love the grunt suits. My personal favorite is the Zaku line. My favorite Zaku is the Zaku I Sniper Type and/or Zaku Mariner.
I've collected the Gelgoog Jager and Cannon. Zaku II F2, Zudah, Zaku I and Zaku I Sniper type, and Zaku Mariner, and Zaku III.
Believe me, I like my protagonist style suits, I've got all 3 Blue Destiny units, out of all the Gundams, my favorite are the Blue Destiny Units.
But I LOVE ZAKUS, DOMS, GELGOOGS, ZUDAHS, ETC. I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF THEM.
I am a total fanbear of any Zeon Grunt suits. Even special versions of their grunt suits, like Shin Matsunaga's High Mobility type.
I love grunt suits. It conveys a certain realism to a military's arsenal of standardised equipment and weaponary.
Plus there are lots of different grunt suits in the Gundam universe.
I love grunt suits personally. They can provide the best motivation to customization!
I have this kit. Pretty good build plus I love the fact it's a customized grunt suit.
I love how you posed the gun-dog lunging and attacking the Kempher Amazing while the Sniper is hiding behind a wall. Now I am going to order the two kits just to do that pose. I Loved it!!!
I love the Grunt suits. the GM's and the Zaku's are some of my favorite models. thanks for sharing this Vid. my GM Sniper K9 is in the mail right now. can't wait for it to arrive.
looks like masterchief i love this kit so much
I like grunt suits when they're custom made for their pilots, cause they're usually simple and cool but that just gives it more personality
This mobile suit reminds me of the ARL-99 Helldiver from the Patlabor series.
Still great review man and im definitely getting this!
Great review bro!!! I absolutely love this suit...
Personally I absolutely adore grunt suits/mechs. They have this utilitarian look to them and love giant robots with that slightly realistic feel. They're also great for making custom kits out of, especially with the Grazes/Reginlaze from IBO.
I love me some grunt suits, I tend to find they are the most uncomplicated kits and allow for great customisations. I also enjoy that most grunt suits share very similar construction, and allow for easy kitbashing options plus they are usually cheap.
I first was not fond of grunt suits until I force myself to get a Zaku just for the sake of having it. I bought Zaku 2 minelayer (zaku 2.0 variations) and now i freaking love grunt suits. My favourite grunt suit ate Jesta and zaku 2 just because they are the good grunt suit at the moment as there aren't many grunt suit mg release.
Great review vince :)
- tempting to buy this kit :)
Very good review! 👍
I just bought this kit as I'm making a squad of federation grunts starting with Jestas.
I'm not too interested in the plain old GMs, but the military style mobile suits with tons of gear are more my style than the flamboyant primary coloured Gundams.
The GM Sniper II is personally my favorite NON Gundam MS overall.
I was a huge fan of the Return to Ashes game for the dreamcast and fell in love with the White Dingo squadron.
I'm actually currently building a modefied GM Sniper K9. I'm not using the dog pack or main beam sniper, I'm actually repainting the entire unit to be more of an UP armored White Dingoes GM Sniper. I'll let you know how it comes out.
Depends on the design of the 'grunt suit' I guess, GMs have never really done it for me but most of Zeon's MP units I like.
I fixed that problem with the hostler and leg connection by trimming off most of the plastic on the hostler that is between the two leg parts and then glued what was left on to the leg itself and made it so much better but that was my one problem with that kit as well
Personally I love grunt suits. Yeah, the more advanced prototypes look cool, but the grunt suits always feel so real, and given that gundam is THE real robot anime, it's very fitting.
Favorite Grunt Suit: IBO Graze or maybe the GM cannon
I think that grunt are needed in any show, for examples like explosions. But they can be strong units in tough situations.
One of my favourite mobile suits from the Gundam Build Fighters franchise !
I love grunt suits most of my collection is grunts and build fighters models
i normally hate grunt suits but when i saw this one in the anime it became a fav for me like char zaku because it wasn't just a grunt.it was special and i can get some pretty good posses with it for snipping but you have to switch out the what looks like ammon pack skirts for the original gm front skirts and it fixed the problem.im thinking about buying two more and making a diorama around them and k9 units lol
I'm liking the channel so far V3.
Depends on what you mean by grunt and what grunt. If we're talking about mass production suits, favorites include the Hygogg, GM, Zakus, Ball, Tieren, Leo, and Genoace. If we're talking anything that isn't a Gundam or a main villain suit, then they're what I live and breath when it comes to Gundam designs. Though, I don't like the looks of Gundams in the first place, so it kinda irks me that it's the Gundams that seem to get all the experimentation and gimmicks in much of the AU shows.
Grunt suits are great for tabletop wargamers like me. When choosing mechs for my 15mm armies I usually want something that (with a little paint if necessary) could look like it was built for that army. The only time I've actually went for one with the "gundam look" was the Barbatos, and that's because it was perfect for my space samurai army.
Cameron MacDonald can you make a video please please.
Gm Sniper K9 is like the weapon starter pack. Good for people who needs weapons
This is a nice little kit and looks pretty good I just wish bandai would make a mg of this or the gm sniper ll ,but its unlikely they will
I like modified grunt suits like the TTT that's also the reason why I like build fighters because it just brings in more variations of suit designs. (still waiting for the gaplant 0' fiver and the hrududu bandai still waiting XD)
I hope you could make much more LBX reviews.
I like that it comes with the small army men
One of the hardest model kits to get right now (without paying a premium)
I need this in my life.
grunt suits are my favs, more realistic and capture my imagination
I like this design. It’s more militaristic than other designs for this show. It’s takes a more mature look then the miracle-jousting from the main characters.
Honestly, the Geara Zulu and the Jesta are the best grunt suits \
I agree!!
Considering this kit is the same price, in my area, as the kit it is based off of.
So this kit is good value, and lends itself to a good customizable build.
Not to mention it has almost all the parts necessary to build the normal GM Sniper II, or maybe a cross/custom between it and the K9.
Im sorry but I think this kit needs a mg counterpart
Every suit needs an MG version. Sadly, it will never happen.
Well, now it's 2017 and there's a mg sniper II. It's a pretty good kit
i love this kit, it reminds me of the halo odst soldiers
I keep watching videos of the GM Sniper K9 because it is just a great combination of amazing. I wish it was a MG though, I love the 1/100 models.
It's probably one of the more unique GMs!
I have always liked GMs and the Ground type gundam, maybe its the soldier in me.
+Joshua Milligan the mobile suit i want the most is the Ground type GM from 08th MS team ova.
does antoine have problems with the connector for the legs and waist? mine was really loose it easily drop
The only Grunt Suits I like are the early Zeon ones, and the GMs, and MAYBE the Windam and Graze
My opinion on grunts? It depends. It's really a case by case basis for me.
Grunt suits are my favs
I bought this after I saw this video my issue though is like u said the legs tend to come off
I'd love to have an RG version of this.
also the stickers are hard to put on since the stickers are small the head could get some improvement cause I would be happy to have the head able to look up also a problem is that most weapons only are usable on 1 hand the shield would keep falling off my gmail sniper k9s arm but I think is because I had It to loose so I would rate the gm sniper k9 on a scale of 1to 10 would be a 6 though it is really amazing th e backpack/ hound is good
Wanna pick up this set for the lil dudes alone though I do love grunt suites I just built 6 gms so I’ll build the actual kit later
Grunt suits are my bread and butter. Get it?Because they're so common.
I know this is 6 years old, but what do you guys think of the Vagan Grunt Suits? I think the gen 1 looks awesome.
I was surprised that the customized GM sniper 2 was equipped with the EXAM system.
dont forget that you also get all the pieces to make a regular green gm sniper 2
So, I have a question. He comes with the backpack. Why is it sold separately then? I just ordered mine and I'm excited but confused about the backpack.
my opinion is variant depending on the suits themselves and what their capabilities are but honestly, im always a fan of sniper grunts because i always prefered long distance than up close so the sniper grunts i find as a gundam version as myself i suppose, also where do you get your models from?
Are the knife and pistols holsters are removable
I personally like grunt suits. Though I do wish they would get some more love and action in the animes.
My personal favourites include:
The Adele (Gundam AGE);
The Jegan series (Char Counterattack, Gundam Unicorn);
The GM III (Char Counterattack, Gundam Unicorn);
The Geara Doga (Char Counterattack, Gundam Unicorn);
The M1 Astray (Gundam SEED, SEED Destiny) and;
The GN-X series (Gundam 00, Gundam 00 Awakening of the Trailblazer)
I think it depends on the the grunt suit
I'm not really into Gundam, but I fucking love the grunt suit designs. A lot of them are really clean and reflect their purpose nicely. I've kinda got a thing for unsung heroes if that doesn't describe people who get blown to bits by the truckload just so the background can look busy, I don't know what does.
I personally like the grunt suits too be honest I liked the grunt suits because of the gm ground type,gm sniper 2,gm quel, gouf, dom, kampfer,guncannon,and gm cannon but because of my all time favorite 4 in grunt suits 2 for federation and 2 for zeon the gm sniper, the Stark Jegan,the Kampfer,and the dom test type I started liking them more
this is the master of strategy.....
what is the best hg set of all time or figure series
i love the grunt suit's they need more love
The one time I actually like a grunt suit
now that we are getting a mastergrade GM sniper ll I hope we might get this as at least a p-bandai from it.
Wireless_Phantom but what about the robo-dog
max chavez i figure itd be part of the release
I would love this kit a knife and a beam saber plus a couple more weapons I love the grunt suits 2
Just ordered this as my fifth
1:39 SWIVEL HERE!!! Ok obligatory meme done
jobby the hong
for me grunt suits are like Pokémon, gotta catch 'em all
so, are you gonna be the very best? Like, no one ever was?
is catching them your real test?
is training them your cause?
I personally like Grunt Suits, mostly Zakus or GMs. Here's hoping we get a HG Revive Zaku.
Love'em
personally i love grunt suits slightly more than the over the top hero mechs. I find that the mass production qualities of the designs lend them selves better to customization. I love gundam mobile suits too but because they'er already so unique I cant see anyone other than the in show hero as being the pilot, this just brings down the will to customize the suit. Not every one can start out in a state of the art mary sue god suit, you gotta love the trained solders that have to make due with the suits they get and rely on their training, over technology.
can you do a video of your gundam collection?
CAMPEÓN DEL MUNDO BOLUDO!!!
Imo, The Dynames will look like this if it's set on UC and mass-produced.
i love how the next vid on my list of up next is the episode where this ms pops in. lmao xD
Wouldn't it fix the leg problems if you just make it a bit longer to make it possible not to fall out?
I personally love grunt suits. I've always loved the GMs and GM variant suits. I'd love a HG of the Leo from Wing but I'm afraid if it were made it'd immediately explode in my hands.
Is it possible to make this gm a "left-handed" sniper
Do you use clear coat spray for your kits and if so what kind do you recommend? Also totally love how you had the K9 mauling the Kampfer Amazing. That was pretty funny.
Nope, I don't use clear/top coat. Though I probably should start!
In my opinion, if done right the grunt suits and outshine the main hero suit ( Gundam 0080 War in the pocket is a good example )
would you recommend this for a entry point ? If not are there any pistol dualwielders that would be better?
Yep, all HGs are a great starting point!
does any one know if the gray armour and holster parts fit on the gm sniper ii (hguc 1/144) because i would love to kit-bash the two
Grey armor, dont think so, but holsters. Yes
grunt suits are awesome they have this realism to them
Hey I'm new to gunpla, how come this kit is so expensive for a HG?
Hi there Type V3. I don't know if you remember me, but you gave me some advice on your Fenice review and since then, I've built a few Gundams :) I would just like to know, what do you use for panel lining? Do you do any other type of detailing on these kits? Thanks
I use various Gundam Markers for panel lining and minor coloring.
I love GMs to death :D My first "encounter" with a mobile suit was the MG RGM-79 way back.
forgot what episode he is from
Great video!!!you should make more gundam reviews.
Maybe I should.....
HMMM....
***** how about if you make a review for HGBF sengoku astray or amazing exia
It has it limitations but to a builder it could become the start for a great build. The leg holster could be mod. removing the attachment to the leg and directly attach it to the leg or mod that same part with plasticard using the original shape and resolving that issue.
Oh for sure, every kit - no matter what it's current state - can always be improved with a little effort and creativity. All I'm trying to show is exactly what you get out of the box.
I know and I am very thank full for your hard work. I post it to some one who likes it because he asked me what I could do to improve it.
Ahh, I see.
I like Grunts suits: GMS,Zakus,Doms and one year war ms.
the only thing i like about grunt suits is all the room for customization
Wow. A bullpup, sniper rifle, and what appears to be a HUGE AMR? This guy is packing some serious heat!
That aside, I absolutely _adore_ grunt suits. All the fancy, flashy-ass Gundams like the Destiny, Strike Freedom and Wing Zero just feel so tacky and overbearing to me. Nothing beats the simplicity of the GMs, which feel a lot more grounded and realistic. That's why The 08th MS was the only Gundam series that I ever watched to the end after the original series... though I'm considering checking out Iron-Blooded Orphans 'cause that show's non-Gundam Mobile Suits look pretty damn sweet, too.
Grunt suits. Their charm, you ask? They are blank slates, so you could have your very own Gm, Zaku, or any other grunt suit. Your very own ;)
Them thigh connectors kill it for me. I hated that on the Shining Break Gundam. Leg keeps falling off.
TBH I want this kit for the bloodhounds
I love this mobile suit
What anime is that from
Is anyone's copie's hands loose? They are on mine and he can't hold any weapons...
I'm confused.. does this kit come with the dog backpack thing already or do we have to purchase it separately to complete the model?
It's all included.
***** oh alright thanks! (:
this is cool
