Gundam Unicorn
Just got back from Chara Hobby 2007. If you have just changed your underpants then you will need bleach for your next pair to remove the new skid marks - Gundam Unicorn.
I dont know much about Gundam Unicorn apart from the fact that its a novel. I personally prefer the designs for Unicorn over Gundam 00 and have been wondering if they will ever bring out models of the Unicorn series.
This is the RX-0. While the placard only mentions that its a prototype at 1/100 scale, I'm guessing from the hands that its intended to be an MG. Doesn't look like it can transform though.
The mecha on the Gundam Unicorn site calls it "Unicorn Gundam" but the story is "Gundam Unicorn" so not sure whats up with the inconsistency - or is there something I dont know about the naming of Gundams. Whatever, I bet Gunota knows.
More coverage later including footage of Gundam 00 that was screened earlier at the Gundam Expo.

Agreed~ Gundam Unicorn's design looks much better than the four Gundams in 00.
For the Gunpla, the manipulators seem to be of MG style, wondering if that will be the format for this guy. Plus, will he be convertible to the 'V-fin' mode?
I'm most certainly looking forward to that ^^

It is unfortunate that I am going to watch Gundam 00 just because it's Gundam... (at times, I wonder if gundam is a good mecha series...)
But yea, I am a Gunpla maker, and it looks interesting enough that I would consider buying it...

This is quite a refreshing sight. At least it's no like the common V shape horns the usual gundams have.

Hmm... That horn reminds me of Evangelion unit 01 somewhat. The body looks very similar to every other gundam...
Sorry - im not a huge gundam fan - they all start to look the same to me ;^_^

Gotta love Katoki Hajime's design...but no shifting armor to transform into the true form, eh? Well, I guess it's back to Bandai's winning formula, variation kits based on similar design...~ I also sense the GFF version is just on the horizon...

Got to appreciate Hajime's design. I think Bandai really should make it as a MG. But it will be even great if Bandai would put into the kit the ability to change itself into its true from. I personally wants Bandai to make the NZ-666 Kshatriya into a MG. Now that is one badass mobile suit since Sazabi.

As far as I'm aware, it's the same thing as with ZZ: The show's title is Gundam ZZ (Gundam Double Zeta) but the main MS is the Double Zeta Gundam. One day, they're just going to decide to confuse everyone by making the Gundam's name a kanji pun...

Gundam Unicorn is pretty "meh" to me. I don't particularly hate it, but I don't think it's impressive either. IMHO Katoki has done better (the ART-1 from SRW OG Original Generations blows this out of the water if we're gonna go with his most recent stuff). I definitely prefer the Gundam 00 designs over this one (especially Kyrios...the fighter mode freakin rocks). If this thing gets a MG before something from Victory Gundam or Gundam X, I'll be pretty disappointed.

Weird enough, Unicorn Gundam seems nice enough even without shifting armor, but if there's no shifting armor to show its Gundam form, it just defeats the purpose aye?

That prototype looks nice!
But if indeed it has no "Destroy mode", then may see a MG normal version and the MG special edition would be the transformed one... Boy, cashcow for Bandai again...

Kinda liking it or not liking it cuz it looks plain. Might reconsider it if they painted it even though it's a prototype.

Good that they've ditched the transformable suit idea from Zeta Gundam, or the ultrabulky (but still cool) overkill of Gundam Sentinel. Mobile Suits of later centuries should be more slender and more practical. Looking forward to Gundam Unicorn. Lets hope they'll have a HGUC version of that.

Novel, I wonder when it'll get a english translation? The prototype looks promising. Almost caught me off guard that its a MG haha. I tend to look at the hands. But I guess I gotta' change the way I see MGs and norm.1/100's.
It also reminds me of Evangelion Eva 01 some reason. :]

It's because it is still a prototype figure. Once they start producing the actual kits, they'll have colors.

I am very keen on his design. It's modern but still maintains the UC Century look. I would have no problem having that Unicorn in the pictures above than the kit ^^ He's definitely on my list of kits to buy in the future for sure. I might even pick up the HGUC kit in November if it ever comes out ;]
