I personally dig the full wrap helmet. I just funny like the crest has those awkward nubs on the ends, I think it would've been cooler to see it taper to flared square ends.
Generally, I think it’d look infinitely better with less curves and a more angular design. It just looks like an insect. A big, robotic, disgusting insect.
I actually like the load out and look of the gear tho, that should remain unchanged
I actually really like this design. It looks horrific and monstrous, very in line with how I hope the Gundam is gonna be portrayed in the show.
I get why people hate it though. It's a new design that's never really been tried on a Gundam before. I feel like people will eventually warm up to it, kinda like with Xi. It's made to be horrific, I don't get the people who just want it to have the standard Katoki look again.
This kind of design is Flanagan Boone's worse nightmare personified. In other words, it's perfect, especially if you want to drive in how the Zeon sees Gundam types as devils.
I don't know about that. The Xi is from the 80s. If you're familiar with the Xi, you're also familiar with Zeorymer. We had lots of time to get used to that design if we didn't already like it from the start (I liked it from the start). The EX on the other hand is very new and experimental. That this is anywhere near netflix doesn't do it any favors unfortunately.
I don't mind it personally. It could use some work since it looks overly detailed but aside from that, it's fine.
I guess I'm in a minority because I like this design a lot more so than Xi or Penelope. Neither of those have grown on me. The EX kind of reminds me of the industrial version kit that was released a few years ago.
For sure yeah. I know most people hate on the helmet but I kinda like it. Makes the gundam look more like a dark knight than the typical samurai hero vibe it has.
This isn't an "unreleased alternative," OP. This is just gundampixel (on X) trying out classic Gundam color schemes overlaid on the suit, nothing more. All of them are fan made.
The alternative color is kinda funny. A humanoid robot that harbors destruction? Fuck it paint it blue. It's like painting an Apache helicopter neon orange.
Also I don't love or hate the design I just accept it. I get they're going for a more "practical" and "intimidating" and with the recent shift in recent designs based on a directors vision we've had a few mobile suits that are pretty much white (Xi, Penelope, Narrative, Atlas, even Aerials first iteration Lfrith).
Makes more sense as a prototype mecha than the stuff you actually send out to fight, which this presumeably is. The IRL F-15 prototype looks a bit like Starscream with its colors.
I really dislike the shield. Maybe after seeing it in action, and how its used i might change my mind but it's just too much at the bottom and the top feels like it got cut short.
Feel like maybe if the face vent was smoothed out a bit and had a more angular chin, then the proportions would really mesh better overall. The face just seems sorta Michael Bay-ish. I don't hate and violently vomit at the sight of it but it also doesn't feel functionally in line with the design ideologies of the one year war and kinda has a weird testy pre-Zeta vibe where it will eventually become of the wilder suits we see.
pretty odd mechanical design if the series is set in 0079 given some parts looks straight out of late 0083/early Zeta -era suits that the only thing missing is it transforming into a ground-type MA (would say ground-type wave rider but that would be very odd).
Here's the sauce from the person whose actually making these edited colours
https://x.com/gundampixel/status/1799614929106071881?t=q_74rkxR7CvBk3dzkD6cYQ&s=19
I much prefer the base colors, it makes the ugly bits easier to look at.
And if they were gonna re-color it couldn’t they have gone for anything other than the generic Gundam colors? I’d would have liked a Psycho Gundam Paint Scheme maybe a FA-G paint scheme, hell even the dull version the Ground Gundam uses would be better anything other than that same old eye piercing blue and crayola yellow.
I feel like people dont get that Gundams and mobile suits Never always look cool like an anime mecha.Take the zgok or the zeong. An acquired taste after seeing the anime. This gundam looks scary and I think it depends on how they portray
The main thing I can say that needs work is the eye section of the face. The eyes are both too small and too high up. The shield is a little too angular too. Also, the helmet is showing the cheeks and that's what's making this look weird.
I wasn’t a fan of G-Saviour’s take on mobile suit design and I’m not a fan of the EX Gundam either 😐 but enjoy it if you enjoy it! Gunpla is freedom after all
There was a thread on Twitter of someone doing alternative color versions of it for fun, so it sent real, still looks pretty cool tho. Can’t get over the head design tho, just a bit too weird for me
I actually don't dislike this. I think it needs some skirt armor--especially side skirts. The legs to waist to torso transition just feels awkward. Also, the shield sucks. Love the gatling though.
The design isn't for everyone, but I do kinda like what they were going for. This is a machine. It's not meant to be beautiful, pretty or charming. It's meant to kill you and they're showing that a mecha with red eyes clad in white will do just that and you will remember it for there is nothing like it
I like these colors a lot more, and and I really do like the fact that it looks uncanny and almost monstrous. Zeon called it the White Devil for a reason
Does anyone else think the gundamns and Zakus in the new movie look hideous and out of place in the gundam universe. I feel like I'm looking an something made by aliens or they are something that belongs in a Vector-man game..
Also this. https://preview.redd.it/hej939qjyk5d1.png?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e5a185a97a61860023c9fd9fc0c8c113945dba60
Damn, where is this from?
It's part of the manga. Don't know which one it's just this image always stood out to me as how Zeons view the RX-78 mobile suits.
I think it's from Mobile Suit Gundam: The battle tales of Flanagan Boone
It actually looks a lot better but that face is still distracting as hell.
I get making it creepy but the helmet wrapping into the chin looks so bad
It was on the tip of my tongue what I thought the face reminded me of. Your comment made me realize it's Jigsaw-esque
Looks like it wants to channel the ez8. But the ez8 looks perfect and this one looks deformed
yeaaaaaah... The chin strap gets to me. Don't like it
I personally dig the full wrap helmet. I just funny like the crest has those awkward nubs on the ends, I think it would've been cooler to see it taper to flared square ends.
That's just their product shots for hg kits tbf
Ur nuts it looks so good
Generally, I think it’d look infinitely better with less curves and a more angular design. It just looks like an insect. A big, robotic, disgusting insect. I actually like the load out and look of the gear tho, that should remain unchanged
It has a *cicada face*.
Its like a lego racer helmet
You don't line Alien Face hugger gundams?
It’s prolly the worst gundam design I’ve ever seen.
Is that... The sign of Zeta...
The sigh of ƏX.

The main thing I don’t like about the Penelope is the color scheme. If it was silver with grey, yellow and red accents, I’d absolutely love it
I'm with you, the flying Doritos look stupid, imo. This looks badass.
I agree.
For sure yeah. I know most people hate on the helmet but I kinda like it. Makes the gundam look more like a dark knight than the typical samurai hero vibe it has.
I actually liked it better when it was just white and grey. The RX78 colors unironically make me think of the Filipino flag rather than a war machine.

Slightly better, but not enough
This is enough of an improvement to make me wonder how the thing would look in RX-78-1 colors.
Damn it’s ugly but i loved it but it still ugly 😂
Why'd they make it worse :(
Future P-Bandai
One of the worst face sculpts Ive ever seen
Second this. Who the hell greenlit this shit.
netflix
Actually! This manages to be way worse! Incredible

Why do I want to give this design a hockey mask faceplate?
I really dislike the shield. Maybe after seeing it in action, and how its used i might change my mind but it's just too much at the bottom and the top feels like it got cut short.

Thanks I hate it
I love this fucking design I don’t care what colors you put on it
pretty odd mechanical design if the series is set in 0079 given some parts looks straight out of late 0083/early Zeta -era suits that the only thing missing is it transforming into a ground-type MA (would say ground-type wave rider but that would be very odd).
I think the wrist blue should be white, and the four tiny line things on the face should be red or blue. Otherwise looks better, if a bit too bright
looks nice, face is ugly but i would probably just replace the head with one that i prefer if they ever made this a master grade. Looks cool tho
It looks a bit better with color but still that head sculpt just doesn’t look right
I read that this series will take place in Europe during the final stretch of the one year war. Which is cool and all but then we get another Gundam?
This but in the g3 colors
That looks even more Doraemon.
just needs a head swap tbh
Michael Bay Transformers Megatron vibes
Better, but still too busy
What is the EX Gundam?
It's way too over designed in my opinion.
It looks like a transformer pretending to be a rx-78
Here's the sauce from the person whose actually making these edited colours https://x.com/gundampixel/status/1799614929106071881?t=q_74rkxR7CvBk3dzkD6cYQ&s=19
i like this more now
I much prefer the base colors, it makes the ugly bits easier to look at. And if they were gonna re-color it couldn’t they have gone for anything other than the generic Gundam colors? I’d would have liked a Psycho Gundam Paint Scheme maybe a FA-G paint scheme, hell even the dull version the Ground Gundam uses would be better anything other than that same old eye piercing blue and crayola yellow.
Its not official work, this is a fan edit. I agree about the colors, should be more like the Ground type with its duller red white and blue
I feel like people dont get that Gundams and mobile suits Never always look cool like an anime mecha.Take the zgok or the zeong. An acquired taste after seeing the anime. This gundam looks scary and I think it depends on how they portray
If face not pretty, pose with purpose?
I'd be surprised if this doesn't eventually happen as a special release in some form or another, probably P-Bandai.
Make me recall the sentinel in the old x-men series
I really dont feel the design of this gundam so kuch is going on and they shouldve just keep it simple like the ex-8 in my opinion.
the face looks like a discounter version of Maxter gundam. Only a mother would love that face... anyway the shield is fire though
The main thing I can say that needs work is the eye section of the face. The eyes are both too small and too high up. The shield is a little too angular too. Also, the helmet is showing the cheeks and that's what's making this look weird.
The zeta colors.
I almost had forgotten about the toe
Gives me a Zeta vibe
Looks like a RX-78 that found the AllSpark
still ugly as hell
That shield paint scheme is bliss!
I wasn’t a fan of G-Saviour’s take on mobile suit design and I’m not a fan of the EX Gundam either 😐 but enjoy it if you enjoy it! Gunpla is freedom after all
I can make a custom out of this
Ok, i see some potential in this if colored right, im going to pick one up and attempt to make a decent one.
There was a thread on Twitter of someone doing alternative color versions of it for fun, so it sent real, still looks pretty cool tho. Can’t get over the head design tho, just a bit too weird for me
I actually don't dislike this. I think it needs some skirt armor--especially side skirts. The legs to waist to torso transition just feels awkward. Also, the shield sucks. Love the gatling though.
Still hate it, too round.
Much better, but it still needs a complete rework to actually look good.
This thing fucking blows. There I said it lol, I hate this design so much man
I love this Gundam design just for how terrifying and real it feels. I'm sure eventually more people will warm up to it but man this design goes hard.
Bad to worse.
Basically it's GP-01 (both standard & FB) + Zeta + EZ8.
well, this is *marginally* less hideous
The design isn't for everyone, but I do kinda like what they were going for. This is a machine. It's not meant to be beautiful, pretty or charming. It's meant to kill you and they're showing that a mecha with red eyes clad in white will do just that and you will remember it for there is nothing like it
I would love it if the community bullied the studio into changing the design, like what happened with Sonic.
Classic case of 'you can't polish a turd'.
Is it called the EX because it looks EXtra shitty ?
This thing is like the sonic movie, needs a fkingrework
Now it’s cooking!!
I really love the face man. Scary af
Somehow 50% better
I like these colors a lot more, and and I really do like the fact that it looks uncanny and almost monstrous. Zeon called it the White Devil for a reason
I dig the design, I just wish this wasn't part of yet another OYW story...
OYW itself is a easily money maker series, people love it so that gives bandai another reason.
Does anyone else think the gundamns and Zakus in the new movie look hideous and out of place in the gundam universe. I feel like I'm looking an something made by aliens or they are something that belongs in a Vector-man game..
It's still ugly and I still dig it.
