Some closer shots of the MG RX-0 Unicorn Gundam that you may not have seen yet.
All the photos above are actually a modification of the One Year War MG Gundam and you can see more pics at ZoidingZero.

All the pics below are of the real MG Gundam due out in December I believe - more pics at PAM.
I have a confession to make. While I love MG Destiny, I'm going to defect and buy MG Unicorn next instead - its just too cool for me. Besides, I already have the GFF version of Destiny. Still haven't touched MG Wing Gundam since we last spoke though ^^;

It's from a novel, set 1 year (or 10?) from char's counter attack.

The unicorn is the basic mode of the gundam, the 'destroy mode' is when it forms the form of the gundam we all know and love ;)

 I wonder how they will work the head transformation in the plamo, separate headpieces? From the price, I'm hoping for a workable mechanic

Good choice Danny, I totally prefer Unicorn over Destiny. I say that Unicorn is a "man" Gundam while Destiny is a boy Gundam LOL, I just say this because I like Unicorn more than Destiny.

If you pre-order Unicorn at HLJ till 15 of October you get 5% discount

Whenever I buy gundams, I buy like 4 at a time, to keep me preoccupied. So I'll get both! When do you think Hobbywave will get MG Desity for those who have used the site...

2 words.

DO WANT!!! 
I have to admit, I was always curious about the kit since it was announced (with the whole destroy mode and all) but now that we have pics, it is very very coolsome!!
Will preorder when it becomes available. but now I really REALLY should get going on my backlog...

Unicorn is too cool, infact I am saving money just for 1/100 Exia and MG Unicorn when its out. 

As a matter of fact both Unicorn and Exia will most likely make its mark in Gunpla history since Exia features MG like articulation and Unicorn features Armor shifting.

woah. could'nt tell the difference between the modified OYW Gundam and the actual Gundam Unicorn. god, the modified ver. somehow looked better than the real one. o.O

Planning to get OYW Gundam together with Unicorn when it's out in Dec. might consider to add in HG Gundam Exia. Pretty impressed with it from all the reviews & pics I've seen so far.

I much prefer UC Mobile Suits than those from spinoff series, so it's quite obvious that I'd go for a Unicorn. I hope Bandai would also make this in HGUC 1/144.

It will be nice to see something other than Seed Gundams. Im not even familiar with the Unicorn and I want it! This definetly stands out! If the last couple of MG's that Bandai has released are any indication, this will be really well put together and thought out too. (the new Zaks are epic!)

I won an entire set of mini figures from Gundam Seed once. Too bad I'm not into Mech stuff or I would've been happier that I hadn't won the first prize; a Hello Kitty guitar!

I really wanted the guitar...what says "I'm a manly man" more than playing a pink guitar with a Hello Kitty pick guard? :P

neither actually, if I had to pick one it would be the unicorn looking one.

It looks like it needs help in the color scheme department- The white exterior is fine but the magenta/pink and the yellow just don't agree, sort of like a gender issue for Gundams.

Can we please go back to kick ass mecha that make you say "I wouldnt screw with that!"?

Gundam Unicorn really isn't my style of Gundam.  To be honest, I would rather have a MG Nobel Gundam than the Unicorn.  I also think the Tallgeeses (I-III), the Victory Gundams and the 0083 Gundams are all better looking examples of Katoki's work than Unicorn.

As for the question, though I'm not particularly fond of either Destiny or Unicorn, I'll give the edge to Destiny solely based on that I enjoy CE Gundam more than UC Gundam.

I love this gundam!
this is a one of a kind. Don't think there were other gundams with expandable frames. One thing I still don't understand is the face transformation... where the "mouth" piece go to reveal the gundam face? : o

Ooh - why are all these Gundams toys n models so cool? I'm gonna run out of room to store all my stuff at this rate!! And on top of this sweet-lookin' Unicorn Gundam, there's all the bits from Gundam 00 - I tell ya it ain't fair!! lol

PS I've noticed Forbidden Planet in London has started stocking Gundam Fix Figuration sets - just thought I'd let you folks know!!

I think it's latest UC Gundam I've seen in years since the whole bishie epidemic that plagues the entire anime-manga. Certainly I would also like to see all the MSs' under Unicorn MGfied.

Is the 'Ver Ka' denotation really necessary, there really is no other version. Nevertheless, I'd buy this and Destiny.

If this is "RX-0", does that mean it's created before "RX-78" (chronologically)?

ok from some source it's said that there'll be a full cover story on how the face transforms in the latest dengeki issue. apparently when rotating the ear plates on the side, the mask slides upwards into the bottom of the helmet. the horn splits as well.

I saw this at one of my favorite eBay stores recently and thought it was tight as hell.

Now, please forgive the noobish question, as the only model kit I've ever assembled was an Armored Core snap-fit set, but can anyone tell me if this Unicorn Gundam requires cement to be completed?

I ask, because I do have the patience to build a kit, but I seriously don't want to have to deal with cement. Too big of a mess, I think. ;x I had to do some minor glue application on the AC model and it was a bit of a bother.

Also, looking at the general color scheme of Unicorn, I doubt I'd need paint. :p

Theres no cement needed although you might want to try out danny's loose joints method for the arms. But besides that it's a good kit, and no, painting isn't needed
