That sword is a pretty good upgrade, as the Barbatos kindly showed us.

Anyway, considering the HG only comes out at the tail end of January, hopefully we haven't seen the last of the Helmwige.

>>15060113
It's fine, Wacky. Don't sperg out.

>>15060108
Did it? We haven't even seen it actually do anything, maybe if it did something more than stand around waiting for Mikazuki to steal its sword it would have turned out to be good.

>>15060283
You take that back.

It hasn't truly jobbed yet, being totally fair to it.

Hard to job when you never have the opportunity to fight in the first place.

Not that it doesn't have its own charm, but as an upgrade to the VF-17, it kinda blows.

>>15060708
good looking design. Nice to see more norse/animal elements in gundam design.

the exposed frame elements in IBO are neat.

Destroyed my baby's sleek and slim design. Yick. It got worse in Moon Dwellers were it's not just a mobile armour, but an entirely new bellzeleute, without the cute horn or ultra stylish legs.

>>15060764

Can you really call that an upgrade when it feels more like a dumbed-down, mass production version of the unit?

I mean, I understand the logic, but it killed the, I guess, heroic? Ness of the Nu Gundam. Plus it was badass that Amuro was piloting a half finished mech.

>>15060108
I could appreciate a bulky design with comically huge weapons, and this one in particular doesn't look too bad.

It's just piloted by a nobody who showed up as a weapon delivery to Lupus. It ain't gonna shine any time soon.

>>15060276
>Main Character wins by using the separation mechanics of the impulse
>His new suit removes the separation function

It's like they where trying to stack the deck against him for when he fought Kira and Athrun again at the start.

>>15060792
The Hi-Nu is not the final form of the Nu.

The Hi-Nu is what the Nu looked like in the CCA novel.

>>15060796
They would have had me, too, if it didnt have those horrible, out-of-place feet.

Christ, i actually didn't mind this thing for the longest amount of time. But now i actually see where the designer has put the red-violet on top of the clashing details it looks like a total shit show.

>>15060108
Except for the color scheme, the Helmwige looks awesome.

>>15060878
Uhhhhh the way I remember it, the Nu was basically an unfinished prototype with some funnels strapped on, and the Hi-Nu was what it would have become given enough time. So they're different suits, but the Hi-Nu would have looked like the Nu earlier in its development.

>>15060108
He looks fucking awesome

putting heavy armour on the lightest frame however seems kind of stupid.

>>15060898
The only reason I dislike it is because it was originally the Grimgerde. Were it a stand-alone suit I could admire it more for its own merits.

Just terrible.

>>15060889

Agreed. The pale yellow does not mix well.

>>15060113
Destiny impulse>destiny

>>15060901
Best way of putting it.

>>15060897
nope.

In CCA Amuro's final Gundam is the Nu Gundam.

In Beltorchika's Children, Amuro's final Gundam is the Hi-Nu Gundam.

They are two distinct suits. They are not technological lineages of each other, but rather different interpretations of the final Amuro robot.

Nu Gundam would not have become the Hi-Nu Gundam. More obvious is the technological intepretation of the funnels. Nu Gundam's funnels have their own power supply and do not need to go back to Nu Gundam to recharge, whereas Hi-Nu's fin funnels do need to recharge.

Nah, Billbine is a great design senpai

>>15060950
And there's also the Hi-Streamer.

>>15060950
Huh. I learned something today! Plus now I don't have to think my favourite mobile suit was the inferior version

Back on topic, I love the thing, but the Stein is so gorgeous that I have to this in here.

>>15060950
Related, I've always seen the Sinanju Stein as a version, or update of the Hi-Nu with the funnels stripped out

>>15060958

When coming after the original? Fuck no.

>>15061049
The night cameo colors make it better at least. I'd also nominate Layzner Mk 2. I hate how it moves the eyes below the visor to accommodate the plane transformation. The eyes under the visor are my favorite part of regular Layzner.

>>15060882
I like the hoof feel to them. It goes with the bull horns to make a sort of Minotaur look.

>>15060108
It's a good design, but a poor successor to the Grimgerde.

00 Quant lol.

Even the sword is the worst of the three.

>>15060901
I wish it was a different valkyrie frame

everyone would love this MS if it wasnt Grimegerde first

>>15061049
The original is fine, yeah, but Billbine has a better Knightly thing going on. Plus the fact it transforms into a bird is radical: it's the apex predator in a world full of insect robots.

>>15061336
I will fucking end you nigger

>>15061132
To be fair layzner mk. II is basically the love child of a Valkyrie and A gundam

>>15060764
But its not an upgrade? It has lower spec engines, and far simplified construction.

>>15060792
Hi-Nu is the nu-gundam of the novel version of CCA

>>15061171
You sir are a fool with no sense of style.

>>15060689
this

also is this guy just getting Chocolate's sloppy second MS?

>>15060108
I want to buy this kit just for boxart.
it's too good.

>>15060108
The Reincar looks dank

The only thing I don't like about it are the puke yellow/gold parts. But that can easily be fixed like >>15060708

Except the nuke, it didn't have any weapon to protect it from long range attacks. The only weapons available is basically rushing to the enemy for close combat and head vulcans.

>>15062225
Worked for Epyon.

>>15060786

>>15060108
I mean, compared to the original and every design afterwards, it's pretty lame.

>>15062225
those vulcans are always so overpowered in games

>>15061171
I agree that the weapon loadout is pretty shit on the Qant compared to its predecessor, especially the horrendous rifle mode.
but everything else on it is pure sex.

>>15060108
It's not an upgrade as much as a retooling that went a different direction.
Besides, it went to a different pilot and it's Chocoman that downgraded to a standard issue Graze Ritter.

>>15060108
Itsurugi's face says it all.

>>15060767
It's a good looking design, but it doesn't really fit as an upgrade to the Grimgerde.

>>15062365
That's how he always looks.
I'm waiting for the scene where someone tells him to lighten up and he goes
>I'm having fun. Can't you tell?

>>15060113
Who?

>>15062447
fuck man if only i can afford RoDa Sirbine

and it's the cheapest Sirbine toy

>>15062462
I actually have it and love it.

The sculpt is good, the design is amazing, and it's literally impossible not to make the thing look cool as fuck. It makes any pose look dynamic and fucking awesome.

>>15060864
Not like it mattered; Shinn was too busy going berserk to use things like 'strategy' by that point in the series.

>>15060864
>>15062480
Shimon was able to hold his own against CHICKEN HOW'RE YOU using a snapbuilt Destiny, the Gunpla equivalent of mass produced mediocrity.

Destiny absolutely wrecks face in videogames, and it makes a mockery of SF in Vs. titles.

Shinn's biggest and most inexcusable flaw is that he is the worst known pilot of his signature suit. They should've kept him in the Impulse, if only so he could replace damaged parts on the fly when he went too berserk and took damage.

>>15062225
>it didn't have any weapon to protect it from long range attacks
The other GP units were supposed to do that.

>>15062447
The MK-II is a better design than the L-Gaim. Search your feelings, you know this to be true.

is the helmwige another valkyrja frame mobile suit or actually the grimgerde's valkyrja frame with a different armor?
