FYI: The Stargazer Gundam was never meant for combat, but was meant for space exploration and a testing machine for the voiture lumiere system, thus the theory why the nepteight weapons was unamed.
Maybe it also has a defense mechanism equipment like the Stargazer
Actually, the hand things are titled "beam guns" but there's no name for the backpack
Dunno why, but i think it would be on defensive role 😂
Well remember Eve saying that she want to travel the universe? Stargazer was meant for that so it make sense it is the last armor
I think hiroto will trapped in eldora and use nepteight to return to earth
When you realize that this was probably built by Hiroto after Eve suggested to travel together through GBN all the way to the edge of the universe. 😭
Which is why it sucks that the kit of such an important suit would get a terrible design
Man that was a sad scene
But we all know that Hiroto is the main hero
@@gideonventura1745 Well the color could be better but it's pretty cool overall for me. What don't you like about it?
I don't know, I kind of like the design. The kit looks pretty bad though
He’s talking to Core V1
the quarantine is getting to him
He's slowly becoming our lord SwivelTheDong
At least he's not simping over an E-girl like hiroto
@@senpie9087 oh boy
the quarantine has got him a while back, since the knock off Zaku vid
@@senpie9087 related to JobbyTheHong?
I’m guessing the “rushed” character bio on the side is a side effect of having to avoid spoilers pertaining to the plot with Hiroto and Eve
Agreed. This kit is from a "toy comercial" anime. Bandai and Sunrise may have expected us to actually watch the show and then buy the toys/kits. That's why they avoid spoilers as much as possible.
They're likely going to release this kit again somewhere along the line (The Silver looking variant without any stickers from it looks like) and probably effect parts because whynot.
Didn't help that the show itself was delayed for obvious reasons.
BACK THEN, people are going mad through the many many core gundams.
NOW, people are going mad because of the need for more Core Gundam 2.
Isnt it IRONIC.
And people are mad that there is too many boxes for a perfect kit
@@fryanne9750 yeah
Mechagaikotsu should pin this!
Welp its there fault they said they dont want more core gundams
@@darillejoestar9246 not really, most of the community wants the Weapon to be included, like its a great kit, why not included?
The box boiling Hiroto down to him meeting Eve and how important his time with her was is pretty significant, considering Eve wanted to explore the universe with him and he built the armor in her color scheme.
So they give Neptune a ring but don’t give Uranus or Saturn one
Their translations of Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are quite different or similar to ours.
The colors are all over the place as well. These new kits feel like an afterthought.
Or anything the matched the Gods the planets were named after.
Gunpla is freedom!
Bro imagine having a ring in uranus 😬
This season’s gimmick wouldn’t be so confusing if the core Gundams where either sold with every armor or separately by themselves.
yes! I love the core gundams but don't care about the armors. Wish they could sell just the core gundams.
So in other words, your Core II is turning into a floppy mess and the armor is just getting attacked by association?
Pretty much, yeah
Yeah this whole review bugged me
Yeah, this review had honestly been one of the worst reviews in a while and felt incomplete and nitpicky, so I couldn’t get a good feel for the gunpla due to it. I feel like Mecha should have delayed this one and to settle down on his emotions for the Core Gundam II and released the review with a more calm mind set.
Tesla-Effect Yes that is a flaw in the new line, however this review was specifically about the new Nepeight Gundam and it was spent mostly talking about the Core Gundam II and barely about the Nepeight Armor itself. Making it unclear how much how good or bad the Nepeight itself actually is.
@@Levian-we4zg
Because not much changed. It's pretty much you're typical core Gundam Armor. So he didn't have much to say that hasn't been said before.
“Mom, can we get a Stargazer Gundam?”
Mom: “We have a Stargazer at home.”
The Stargazer at home:
Not Bad Mom Not Bad
i see many people custom nepteight gundam with stargazer color
Bandai needs to release all the core gundam versions and the all the system units in one big box
I second that... I mean if we take the pricing of the kits
Core Gundam 1 $9 ( based on earth three's price of 17 - armor at the low end of 8)
Core Gundam 2 $12 (based on uraven 20 -8 for armor)
Planet armors roughly $8-9 each (64-72)
Planet weapons which I'm gonna say 7( so 56) as I see them go for 6.99 you're looking at an estimate of $143 -151usd
This is leaving out any other armors like the rize this soley the planet armors.
And knowing bandai they will make it p bandai so maybe add another 25 to 50 dollars so little over 200 dollars
Ohhh like the all 6th forms of barbatos but THAT THIS IS SO EXPENSIVE AND YOU NEED TO BUT THE EXTRA PACK (i forgot the extra pack called) THAT HAVE 3 MORE BARBATOR GUNDAM FRAME THATS MORE EXPENSIVE THAN A 1/144 RG STRIKE PACK jeezz it ain't worth it
@@Lockehart1289 and so morely that we all know that when its a DLC many people will likely to buy multiples of them then sell them at a ridiculous price
DJ 0Z6J-DEV to me its worth it because i love the design of the core gundams and its system units and it would be hard to chase them all
@@li-fn8ie as much as you know it me too i do love them all but to me thats loads of mony you can buy a switch lite but nothing compares when you build a gunpla you cherish!
Nepteight: anti stickerer’s nightmare, brush painters dream come true.
Masking people too! Masking hell, yippee!
I wouldn't mind as much
Paint,use the stickers to cover painted parts and just continue painting
Imagine being an "anti-stickerer" like you have a moral objection to stickers, even when they're for recessed, shiny highlights like this one is.
@@DiggitySlice stickers could peel overtime, durable paint won't
GBD:R: so how many spoilers do you want to give to the anime?
Bandai: *yEs*
COVID: *[insert monkey puppet meme]*
Ok tell me one spoiler that you can come up with the description of the kit
@@origindoesmecha45 Let's take some furries and full size May across the universe back to Earth.
I didn't know but at the end of the intro the core gundam is wearing this armor
@@joshuaconner3583 then why not use the Quantum GN Drive of 00 it is much faster than the Stargazer.
12:14 you miss a step by pulling down the butt piece to complete the ring.
I know and it annoys me
I feel like most "More well-known" Gunpla reviewers all miss that out
Its a Mecha Gaikotsu review
What did you expect
mecha gaikotsu is too cool to read instructions
he's too ignorant
It would've been cool if the saturnix came with a real-type colored core gundam ll and the nepteight with the g-3
That would be awesome and I don't care that would be pbandai
Yeah, the same colors but on the core Gundam V2 body and it kinda shows what it'd look like on the Nepteights box
When you realize this is possibly the last armor to be made for hiroto's core Gundam (yes ik rize is coming but damnit I need Pluto, sun, and moon)
Boi, it's PLANETS, and Pluto stopped being considered a planet...Moon is not a planet too.
@@kenjitoro1773 IDGAF I want more armors
Sorry to disappoint but moon is a satellite and pluto isn't even considered a planet anymore because she's out of the radar from times to times and the sun isn't a planet, sorry but i would also be happy if hiroto made those!
Anima Rize is for a different user though. Not Hiroto's core gundam
you forget sedna and eris
>Manhandled the kit again and again
>"Uhgg why it's so loose?!1?"
Doesn't even transform the thing properly
I wonder how many times he slammed it down on his table over the years.
He is not being crusified he is asserting his dominance to other gundams by t-posing
Stargazer: "Who are you?"
Nepteight: "You, but I *T-POSE!"*
*t-posing on everyone*
F in the comments if you think that THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE SATURN ARMOR!!!
With the light blue this should have been Uranus
This should have been pluto
@@Shatugi It has a ring. nuff said.
The Gentle Criminal Pluto’s not a planet nor does it have rings
@@GURI_ACE not a planet
All they had to do to justify the "DLC" packs is sell the V.1 and V.2 of the Core Gundam separately as well. I have the six different cores, I'm not going to get the armor sets.
Exactly. Just sell the core, I’m SURE people will get it
A Core Gundam twin set would be cool. With the Core Gundam 1 and 2
@@yeetyateyote5570 good news they are releasing the core gundam II in G3 colors and Titans colors
v2 is sold separately
@@AegisHyperon Half a year later, yeah.
Me: If Pluto is considered a planet, we will see a Plutine.
Honestly, I think of the core gundam as pluto.
How about Plutore (Pluto Zero)? A failed design perhaps and was kept in wraps by hiroto😗😗
If they were using Japanese names for numbers, we would have....Plukyu, which sounds kinda cute.
@@fraser7211
That does sound cute... heck, they could of used that to make a Bear Guy armor for Core Gundam. XD
Pluto already has a giant heart on it.
Better yet, make the armor outta fries, gravy and cheesecurds and call it the Poutine
They probably didn’t want to spoil anything since the series got delayed because of COVID.
FYI: my core gundam 2 is pretty solid
U right
Where do u get the core gundam 2
@@Jellokop HGBD:R Uraven Gundam
Mine too.. i was so afraid because i watch this video first before i bought my uraven.. the only worst thing is the waist because of the ball joint
I just fixed my Core Gundam II by cannibalizing an extra Core Gundam I's parts.
Definitely worth the fix.
Tip: replace the waist polycaps with a spare from another kit.
That's what I did.
Hmmm should i buy a gundam uraven and a earthree gundam (edit: because i like transforming and mode changing gundams like gundam magnum AGE 2 ver.ka)
I change my with all on core gundam 2 so my gundam core 2 is super solid ryt now
@@VYXNOS if u have saved policaps from other kits u can use it tho fyi for no hassle buying another kit
complaining about the bio of meeting a girl when you've never watched the show
priceless, mecha, priceless
This
Meeting a girl basically kicked off *everything* in this show!
*And* the last!
Joints weaken. After 2 - 3 of heavily abuse armor review.
Okie.
So why not get another unraven? Not that expensive wasn't?
The core gundam 2's parts will still be weak. You'll have to buy an earthree core gundam and cannibalize the ankles, arm frames, hands, extending torso, and polycaps.
@@Cornchips-om5rf aren't they the same part?
@@Cornchips-om5rf The core gundam 2's joints are the exact same as the original core gundam's. Unless the mold itself degraded (which it shouldn't, it usually takes several years/reprints), there was probably just an off batch or something.
@@OtonashiV maybe, but the leg docker ports didn't fit right and were loose on both mine and mecha's kits, leading me to believe that it was the white parts molded wrong.
@@Cornchips-om5rf those dock parts are also from the OG Core Gundam runners. The only original parts on the core gundam 2 are cosmetic. The docking points for my copy is fairly tight. Maybe the initial batch was defective for some reason?
I haven't had a single issue with any of my Core Gundam II. Also the condensed summary is probably to prevent spoilers
Me:did i heard nep?
Anonymous sound: NEP NEP!!
Me: oh no
NEPU NEPU!
SOMEONE GET THE EGGPLANTS!!! WE NEED TO FORTIFY OUR DEFENSES!!!
NEP NEP!!!
I was searching for this comment
7:20 Strange,my core Gundam 2 is completely fine
Am just gonna fucking ask what the hell did he do to the poor guys knee joint
NONE of my 4 core gundams have that issue
Maybe its just me but I think this review is wack
I wonder if it's because of how much he's messed with that exact Core Gundam. joints do loosen with use, after all.
@@kimarykorlumiose7728 I play around with my Core Gundam 2 a lot, switching it between the different armors and posing it and whatnot, and I don't have any problems with it.
Almost as if he broke the joints inside. Sure, my Core II isn’t as solid as my Core G3 (the only original Core I have) but it’s nowhere near the level in this review
May the earlier release of the uraven gundam suffered mold degration( i think) kinda like the gundam vual.
I really wants these kinds of kits now
Will we by any chance be seeing a future MG Sazzy Ver. Ka review?
I mean.... dragging and hold Gunpla by the legs is a sure way to make them lose (Hence why most modelers advice hold kits at the torso or waist), also the stickers are justified cause it would still silver sticker under clear fluorescent yellow plastic and that would drive the kit's price way more than the other armors and miss the main point of the line, which is to be affordable?
Selling the weapons separately i'm fine with but each armor REALLY should've included a Core to equip it. Heck, they should've just sold the Core by itself.
Now this man knows whats up!!
You've got the best videos man I've watched so many. You've gotten myself and my brother into building. Informative and mostly hilarious. Thanks brother. Look forward to seeing more.
Echoes Act 3
Bruh
Les kill da ho
It's called 'Seafoam Green.' Also i really wish they released a G3 version of the Core Gundam II with this.
I wondered when this was going to happen
Quick question. Can you use the Core Gundam 1 armors (Earthtree, Marsfour, etc) with the Core Gundam 2 and vice-versa?
Yes. They are backwards compatible.
Ryan Maliwat that said, EarThree's fin design has a slight fitting issue with Core II's head, especially due to the Core II's v-fin.
I know, I've tried.
When you don't watch Re:rise even though it right here on youtube
I think the reason why core gundam 2 might be so flimsy is because of all the extra bulk it has to support. The older armor systems where mostly more slim and sleek (except for veetwo and jupitive) but now these 3 newer armors are really bulky and maybe through excessive posing and articulation the joints got a lot weaker than core Gundam. But I don’t know that’s just my theory and it might be wrong cause the unarmored core Gundam 2 also seems fairly flimsy
3:40 I read it as "I will die for my virtual waifu", also applies to GBD's protagonist
i was just thinking about how i was waiting for this review this morning!!
Just like to say You diserve our like and appreciation in this review I can really feel your frostration bro hahah keep up the good work.
Finally bandai will sell the core gundam separately... Under the label "P-Bandai"
Who’s been waiting for this since season 2 was announced?
Me but with the unboxing i am very dissapointed
After watching Ep 25 of Build Divers Re:Rise I can in fact tell you how absolutely amazing this Gundam was at being used once and then discarded for the Jupitive. Like seriously that’s what happened.
The 2 arm weapons are beam blasters and the lower part of the backpack can be pulled down and connect to the lower (wing?) section to turn it into a full ring.
*watching mecha's core gundam 2 have a flimsy body*
Me: I really can't relate
I have two core gundam II’s and neither have been flimsy ^^; if anything both have been sturdy af even after playing around excessively (I even tried making a mobile armor formation for the uraven)
Oof, I cant wait to build 3 I ordered ;3
Christopher Tadeo ooo it’ll be a fun build! Be careful of the shield tho! It’s easy to break.
Love the reviews as always Mecha Gaikotsu! Hope you find a sturdy uraven ^^;
Ah yes, the best propulsion system
CAR LIGHT
Seeing this review motivated me to get my Uraven from the shelf and reinforce all those joints. Don't know what they did between Core Gundam 1 and 2 especially when you notice that most of the loose joints come from the old runners. Even the beam saber handles on the backpack are weak on mine not sure if this is happening to anyone else.
My Core Gundam 2 is still solid, the only problem I had out of the box was that new shield that you also complained about in the Uraven review. However a little super glue to the sides of the pegs it uses to connect and now it's like a rock. I think because they made CG2 have a ball jointed torso instead of a peg in hole design made some kits weaker

IDC WHAT YOU SAY, THIS GUNDAM IS SO BEAUTIFUL, COLOR SCHEME REPRESENTS EVE & THEIR LOVE FOR SPACE EXPLORATION ACROSS THE UNIVERSE
Hey, I don’t know if you’ll see this, but it was revealed in the most recent episode that the Saturnix was designed to take down Gundam Frames. AKA IBO Gundams. They even make a reference that it looks like it could “take down a few demons”.
It was already mentioned in the Saturnix manual.
ハオテマオ ｢haotehmao」 yes, but he didn’t mention it in his review, so he may have missed it.
My Core Gundam II is actually really solid, the waist polycap was kind of loose but I was just able to use a tighter one from another kit that had a spare. Besides that, its solid as a rock.
Japanese writers: let's throw some random foreign words to make it look cool.
You know the Voiture Lumiere is from Seed, you know, the series that had a thing for naming variations or systems after French words
@@origindoesmecha45 I know. It was silly then as well. The thing literally translates to "car lights". lol
I mean the "car" could also mean vehicle..
My theory will be that this Armor will be used for an interpanetary travel in the anime, probably the big bad boss targeting earth next.
Much like Stargazer it's non combat oriented.
I think its for exploring the gbn,maybe looking for his girl?
@@reyvelmarcello466 hiroto is a massive simp
Nah, targeting Earth impossible. Especially when the distance between Earth and Eldora is hundreds, or thousands (I can't remember) light years away. Until this day I haven't seen any weapon in sci-fi that could reach a target from 1 light year. So yeah, no way Alus can targeting Earth.
@@pacolai5536 Simp imply's the relationship was one sided, but their relationship seemed fairly balanced. He just went kind of unstable after she died.
@@twilight_phantom2969 No point in trying to tell that to someone like them, they think anyone in a relationship is a simp and you won't change their mind with logic
10:55 :me when I'm posing the MG wing zero custom
I guess you haven't seen Stargazer yet. The Stargazer gundam doesn't need to move in order to attack with its backpack. It created beam rings around it and can either launch or bend the beam to attack its target. The stargazer doesn't move an inch when it attacks (except for navigation purposes of course).
12:02 Jesus lying on the cross ??? BCE
Me: Mikazuki died 🧠⚡️😤
Gundam info: 🤯 you didn’t know
Mechagaikotsu: Barbatos rexxxx
What?
My Core 2 definitely has the lose torso issue, but my legs are pretty solid and don't wobble.
Loved seeing the other core gundams in these armours you really teased me there mecha lol
Seeing you talk to Core Gundam 1 makes me want to use it for the new armor sets.
The naming of the armirs is based on the JAPANESE names for the planets. Mercury is literally the water planet in japanese and it explains why Mercuone was built in mind for aqua ops. Mars is the fire planet so thats why marsfour is red and predominantly uses heat based melee weaponry too
It’s also very similar to Chinese words as there are elements assigned to almost all of the planets
So in short terms.....
Mercuone: Underwater combat
Veetwo: Long range combat
Earthree: Improved basic functions
Marsfour: Close quater combat
Jupitive: Space combat
Saturnix: Overwhelming power attacks
Uraven: Sniping
Nepteight: Space exploration
biggest thing that I can recommend to fix the problems of the Core 2 Gundam is to basically cover the bottom waist polycap with a generous amount of tack, and for the legs, i personally took the ankle sections from my standard Core Gundam that broke, but a healthy amount of glue should work too.
the second joint of the legs and arms has a tendency to get loose fast but tighten the joint up directly by using either super glue or paint. that’s what works for my Core Gundam. reply me if i made any mistakes while putting this together so i can make it easier to understand.
So I've used plumber's tape on the joints of the HG Barbatos Lupus Rex and it tightened up those leg joints really well.. it is a bit fiddly to work with but it's a great non destructive way of tightening up joints with something very inexpensive.
I have 2 Core Gundam II’s, the first one I built is extremely weak at the waist, mainly when armor is attached, so much so it could disintegrate just by breathing on it. I found it’s the polycap ball joints that join the waist into the torso, they just can’t support the extra weight. When I built the second one, I left some of the nubs sticking out on those polycaps and it seems to have tightened things up a fair deal.
I love the look of the Nepteight more than any other Planets armor so I’m still gonna get one, hopefully my less disintegraty Core II can handle it.
Nice review! Love your videos!
Ngl that stargazer backpack looks epic tho..
I think imma grab one of that and stick it on my jupitive, they're in the same white tone although
Can't say that mine has a weak waist or knees, but the part that attaches to the back was weak. Used a bit of glue and now it's pretty tight.
9:11 looks like Steve's got a little brother
Yes!!! FINALLY im really hoping to get the whole solar system
Lol the leg went in seamlessly as he was saying it wouldn’t and bam the shock in his face
hi im looking for replacement fingers for my astray blue frame second revise . do you know what kit has extra fingers that i can use for my blue frame ? thanks
I don’t know man I’ve had zero problems with my Core Gundam II although I haven’t posed mine as much as you have
i'm curious, does the nepteight armor work for the first core gundam? i ask cause i have it and the jupitives core gundam and i've been wanting the nepteight stuff for a long time.
I was very excited you reviewed this so early, i was very excited about this design because it looks great. Now I'm sad...
By the way, in the Stargazer OVA, which this design is based on, the Voiture Lumiere system creates these little green ring things around it that will destroy anything that comes close enough, so i guess you could call that a weapon. Stargazer wasn't designed for combat to begin with though, in the OVA it took a civilian Astray's beam pistol.
Good core Gundam. Never letting you down. He's always got your back bro!
I forget, was there a set of gunpla coming out that had it's own core gundam without armor as well as the other 3 main character gunpla or did it come with an armor
Now i feel super glad that i train my metalic painting skill couse i dont want to waste that totaly awesome desighn
Between Saturn and Neptune, I fine with Neptune taking the rings motif. It's still a singular ring, unlike Saturn's extensive set of rings. But I also just realised something interesting about Saturnix that slipped my mind way earlier.
A drill, and a vise... orange, heavy armour and equipment. It just screamed at me - Virtual-On's RVR-68 Dordray mech.
1:33 "Neon Grandaddy" I can't..
Nice review I wish I was as good at reviewing gundam as you
Is there a paint that could replicate the yellow effect stickers? I have been wondering about that ever since I first seen the Stargazer
I'm definitely getting this one
when I first saw the core gundam in that armor, I figured that Hiroto got the idea design based off of the stargazer gundam, shame it was only used to help his team exit Eldora's atmosphere, and there weren't exactly any specialties aside from that too.
Mecha you forgot to pull down the piece near the center in the backpack to make it really look like a circle.
Personally, I think these helped with the loosey goosey joints of Core V2:
1) Replacing the polycaps at the hip with the unused ball-type polycaps from the many Core V1s I have.
2) Sacrificing one of my Core V1's ankles and giving them to Core V2.
Although you could also just use putty / any other space filler. It sucks that these are production issues :c
In a previous video u mentioned you would be starting your on custom gunpla project. Just wondering what it will be based on?
It should've been either an aquaman/underwater version with a trident, or have some adjustments. Like work more on the v fin, add beam rifle, sabers, and green rings like the stargazer.
They shipped that quickly wow
So, is it possible to put this armor set on the original Core Gundam, or will it only fit on the Core Gundam 2 from the Uraven kit?
Personally, given the HG 144 Stargazer Gundam has a lot of stickers(I have one and I absolutely love it), it's expected for the Nepteight to have alot of stickers as well given it's based on Stargazer Gundam. =O
To think I was looking forward to this and wanted a cool Stargazer variant...
In stead of getting the rg redframe i got the rg gold frame and the rg crossbone
Sadly you missed a transformation the bottom peace pulls down. Also I need to get another eraththree gundam so I'm gonna to parts crash core gundam and core gundam mk2 and see if I can save mk2 because I love his design but it has a lot of flaws, I do like thenewhands though
