I always thought of the mobile suit as a humanoid space fighter with leg and back thrusters giving them unlimited maneuverability as well as all terrain and multi environmental offensive capabilities.
Agreed, also by entering to planets a MS with legs can be more versatile don´t forget rocket fuel movility system in space is very diferent than in an atmophere.
@@chacrawarrior It's Active Mass Balance Auto Control. It's the computer using the mass of the limbs and thrusters to maneuver a suit in three dimensions in zero g. Like real life life astronauts do with thrusters.
if only this kit wasn't so rare... I had to get p-bandai Dra-C custom and build it as the regular variant, because finding it was easier and cheaper than tracking down "real" retail kit lol
Damn big for a mass production grunt. The only real edge I see it has an a Zaku is that the beam saber has more reach than the Zaku's heat hawk, but with that grafted 40mm vulcan there is no way he'll match it in a fire fight.
IMO, the reason why space MS needs leg because they need it to turn/rotate their body. most MS didn't have thrusters on their front side, thrusters are often on the backpack, side of shoulder, and legs
@@Xroslight you’re talking about the Dra-C Custom. Which is what I was talking about. Dra C Kai is different. Technically. It uses a different Gatling gun.
Ah, the Dra-C. Evidence that ZEON.....really had some budget cuts after the first war. Supposedly built entirely from salvaged suits and spares, such as the torso being from a Zaku. ....Wonder what they did with the salvaged legs? Was there a land-only MS that's just a spider with all zaku legs they never got around to using?
Okay I'm now interested if anyone's tried to make a Dra-C out of parts from the Gunpla of those. (Not that I expect there to be a lot of Gattle Gunpla). Though I do still wonder; is there a warehouse of Zaku legs somewhere? Granted I guess Zeong shows that Zeon was moving into a post-leg era of Mobile Suit/Armor design, but still.@@sigmazeta2044
@@FFfanboyX try googling "Prototype Dra-C" which is an unofficial kitbash made by someone where it's a Zaku II F2 with modified head slapped with Dra-C's blue thrusters
@@FFfanboyX I always assumed they were taken from battle-damaged units (I'm sure they weren't getting new shipments weekly from Zeonic lmao) and usually if they're battle-damaged but surviving they'd have tons of torsos but less machines with intact limbs or heads (since those are usually blown up/off first). If you had a damaged torso most of the time you wouldn't have a Zaku to find lmao. Hence them creating suits they could easily fashion Zaku torsos into without having to rely on finding intact legs and arms.
I do like how unique the kit is, but I agree it should be used as kitbash material. I see maybe using some large fuel tanks, the actual Zaku head and maybe some additional weapons like missile pods and a larger shield. I’m almost thinking Deep Striker style looks as well. And then lastly a different paint job. Light and dark gray (as it is a space mobile suit) with an accent color of purple
@@ZakuAurelius the hg anksha to me is like the asshimar 2.0 with a gm head When are you going to review the anksha. I also wish to see the anksha’s review too
Dra-C basically a interceptor purpose mobile suits, also their shoulder's ball is their Minovky tank and thruster for manuevering in high speed (but GP-01 FB easily beat it)
Not to argue, but other than the lack of the saturn engine and quick acceleration and straight line flight capabilty this ms isnt better then a Zudah...its AMBAC is horrid, lacks backup weapons systems, has a bad generator, its got shit turning ability and its normal armament is vastly inferior to the 135mm ASR. It has its place as a fast hit and run unit, but it isnt very versatile.
Not exactly a trash to treasure, but I think it would be really easy to bash this with a newer Zaku for a Tristan-style upgrade. Seems like the only thing that would even require much effort would be modding Zaku's waist to work with the thrusters.
I absolutely love the weirdo UC designs, the weirder the better

dunno why for a non gundam mobile suit i still very liked its design

Why does a mobile suit need legs? To do the Char Kick!
This is feeling more and more like 0083 month... I love it!
Haha it is, isn’t it!
One of my Zeon grunt faves. There are 2 P-Bandai of this. One with modified shoulder thrusters and the Unicorn version.
"Legs are just for show!" said an engineer working on the Zeong, guess how that turned out...
Well it was supposed to have legs they were just short on time
I think it's really funny that he says this to the one guy in the entire army famous for his kicks
"space Mobile Suits don't need legs"
also Char is famously known for his Red Comet Kick attack using said legs, lol.
This is one of my favorite MS. Could be a fun kit to practice scribing and custom mods
All I remember about this suit is that it's even weaker than Zaku II in Super Robot Wars 3, which was really impressive.
Why space ms has leg so they can enter colonies and walk inside them

good point

For a second I read the title as the HGUC Dracula 😂
I definitely see some potential in using the extra parts on Zakus. Definitely gonna get this kit just for its parts.

It has fuel tanks, no legs mean easier maintenance, and the gatling can absolutely beat a zaku machine gun
"Big massive shoulder balls" was my nickname in high school

Pretty sure there was also an hg Dra-C Custom. Which is the variant that uses the Gatling gun primarily and has more angular thrusters
thats the P-Bandai Sleeves Dra-C (aka Pink-C)
@@haruharu0w0 nah it’s blue just like this one. But I do think it’s p bandai
There is a P bandai Dra-C kai but it's only the normal variant without the big gatling gun and missle pods
@@Xroslight you’re talking about the Dra-C Custom. Which is what I was talking about.
Dra C Kai is different. Technically. It uses a different Gatling gun.
Yeah I love those angular thrusters on the Kai!
If I recall correctly that's the Gatlings ammo drum not a camara
Because the dra c kai heavy has the same gatling but modified with a larger drum
Hmm~ could be? But looks exactly like the camera on the unicorn beam Gatling gun
If you have an old school zaku HG, you could give the Dra-C regular legs
Actually would probably make for a good re/100
0083 MS are so good!
The stand and the screws are what make it 2000 yen. Can't just look at the kit itself, have to consider everything in the box.
Yeah I get that but still seems a couple hundred yen over imo
Stand base cost 500 yen, so yeah, that make sense
Friendly reminder to pick up the giant gatling with it.

Apparently Dra-C are built from spare Zaku II F2 and Gattle parts
but visually only the arms, torso and groin are clearly derived from the Zaku II F2

There’s another version which I believe is cannon that is more a normal Zaku II and has the Zaku leg missile pods on the fuel tanks
This could be a great to do a kitbashing with a normal Zaku but leaving the legs.
"legs are just for show"
- a spacenoid, kick me for forgetting
Why do space ms have legs? Same reason you have a base stand. Makes them easier to park.
Do you have Döven wolf I really want to see you review and give opinion on that one.
I do! ZZ version. I’ll build it sometime in the next couple months probably
@@ZakuAurelius great can't wait to see
Today I'm really gonna try and work through my ZakuAurelius Build Review Backlog TH-cam video backlog
Wish they had these in stock at USAGS
I used to dislike this suit but its growing on me.
Can you switch the hip joint over to the F2 to give it the booster legs?
Yeah it wouldn’t be a hard mod I think
Are those 4-tube missile launchers on the shoulders?
No I’m pretty sure just verniers
Am I correct in thinking this shared runners with like... the Zaku Mariner or some other variant kit?
I don’t believe so, no
Honetly Id just use its parts to add onto other kit customs as a booster set lol
I have a weak point for this kit. I don't think I will buy it but I always like it.
The hg asshimar also has a unique design, you should check it out
It’s a bit too ugly for my taste! Lol, though I have been wanting to try the Anksha
@@ZakuAurelius the hg anksha to me is like the asshimar 2.0 with a gm head

This Chu-Chu's REAL MS.
lol yeah makes sense!
what are the shoulder balls for?
They're thrusters for higher maneuverability
yeah it's kinda weird to priced 2000yen. And thats the only reason I can't or won't get one just because of the price..

What happened to Gunpla EVOLUTION Project? Sigh.... I was hoping old HGUC kits gets an update on this line fss bandai what you fooking doing!
Weird mobile suit design but somehow I do like it.
As far as i know suits have legs due to the AMBAC system
