This is the review of the HG Gundam Schwarzette, the succeeding Jeturk machine that was revived with a curse.

I bet those who passed on this kit because of the pilot alone are regretting that decision at this moment, because barring the inaccurate colors, the HG Gundam Schwarzette is the G-Witch kit that closely matches the Darilbalde in terms of fun, and the Lfrith in terms of visual appeal for the engineering. What seems to be a simple sword that can separate into bits allows you to basically change the looks of your kit in a whim, and the hard points further expands the customization potential. While inferior to both aforementioned kits, this is definitely one you shouldn't pass on, especially not for the character alone.

To me, this is pure peak mecha design, and an absolute home run from any gundam series thus far. This and the Calibarn may easily be some of my favorite mobile suit designs in all of Gundam. (You had me at revolver arm canons). This just freaking hits everything I like, big sword with guns, modular gund bits, revolver arms, laser katana, did I mention revolver arms? When I see this MS, I kind of get a mixture of Gundam Vidar from IBO, a little bit of elements from some of the Unicorn, a slight bit of 00, and of course some Astray Red Frame flavor sprinkled in there. It is such a shame that this suit didn't really get enough screen time to shine throughout the series. But hey, I'll get whatever eye candy I can get. Perhaps later down the line Bandai and Sunrise could incorporate some of the HGTWFM kit designs in a future gundam build series, that would be so freaking cool. A guy can dream can't he? Cannot wait to get this guy eventually along with the Caliburn. Hell, sign me up for 2!

@mj2005gundam Жыл бұрын

Getting two of these expands the display possibilities for one drastically, and while it may be generic Gyoubu to some, the hard points are your friend in this case. And like most concurred, the downside of this design as a whole is the screen time

I can cannibalize the Guardian as much as I can for the Calibarn in a planned custom. This versatility is the strongest highlight of the Schwarzette, enough not to avoid this release. Imagine seeing this in either a Build show or Gundam Breaker to see its true potential.

It feels like the Schwarzette was a shoehorned-in mandate by Bandai. Like they needed to fit one more antagonist Gundam into the story somewhere, no matter how inessential it actually was to the storyline plans. All things considered, the climax of the Guel/Lauda drama wasn't a terrible place to put it, since the fact that his brother is piloting a Gundam means that Guel had to not only defend himself in battle but also worry just as much for Lauda losing his life to the Gundam's curse. From a writing standpoint, there may have been other, arguably better things they could have done with the Schwarzette, but for the one shortlived fight scene we got and the ''...is that IT?'' feeling it left me with by the end, it was cool enough that I probably will still buy the HG at some point.

Like with the Calibarn, this is one of the strongest designs in a while and certainly to come out of the Witch from Mercury MS lineup, but unfortunately we saw so little of it. That half cape of funnel blades is way too cool a gimmick to have been used just once. Also that color scheme is fire.

Great review for a great kit. I have to wonder why they went with what feels like a stock baseline color scheme that just screams unfinished as opposed to to some form of red, pink, purple or otherwise wine color? My ignorant pet theory is that Guel was going to pilot it orgininally with said more interesting colors but they were informed of how many episodes they actually had left & made changes to accommodate the mad dash sprinting of the last few episodes. Either way, if or when I get it I'll prob want to paint it... tho I'll just have to be careful not to drown out the stickers & pick an appropiate color scheme I guess.

I didn’t love the swarzette until I saw it in action. It just looked kinda lame at first, but the flexibility of the gund staved really made me love it, I just wish it was used better in the show.

@mj2005gundam Жыл бұрын

The only thing bad about this kit apart from the color accuracy is how its sources were treated. I feel like it's a shame to not have it comprehensively display everything the kit could do and then some.

I'm really confused by Bandai's marketing with this kit. They announced it about 8 months ago and the promotional photos were secretive, showing the Schwarzette in its most boring form (giant popsicle stick?). Then they show the Caliban in the anime and it ABSOLUTELY steals the show, everyone rioting for the HG to be shown and released. Then, and only then, they show the Shwarzette's bit gimmicks in the show and reveal the secrets in the HG - reviving all the interest that was ultimately lost in the Schwarzette that was transferred to the Caliban. But...why not just wait until the Shwarzette's gimmick reveal in the anime to even announce the kit? Why stoke hype, let hype die, then "hope" you can revive the hype? If that was a genius marketing strategy I guess it paid off.

@mj2005gundam Жыл бұрын

I feel like they put the design in the show for the sake of it instead of anything important in the lore. I already feel disdain over the turnover of MSs in the series, being featured in a plot of the week manner or something similar. Then they teased the kit, the prototype unit, and let it lay dormant before being picked up by a massive soy boy. If anything, I think they never thought of how the Schwarzette fits in the plot, then towards the end, they were like "Oh right, WE MADE THIS!"

Would love it if there was a 1/100 version of this MS, preferably a MG but knowing Bandai it would probably be relegated to 1/144th scale for a while

@mj2005gundam 16 күн бұрын

Bandai be Bandai. We don't even have a 1/100 Aerial Rebuild even over a year after the FM Aerial

@Hover74 16 күн бұрын

Honestly, I doubt there will even be 1/100 WFM kits for a long time, maybe the more popular suits will at least get somewhat of a chance. But the lack of the Aerial's upgrade for over a year in 1/100 form bites that chance in the ass

I finally got my hands on this bad boy and I fell in love with this gundam. From it's design, the cool sword and the colors, it makes it the most striking G witch gundam aside from the Lrifth, Base Aeriel and Pharact. And the model kit was no slouch either as I am STILL posing with it, making it a VERY soild kit and while my dislike of a certain bitch ass brother stealing this masterpiece still hurts, it should have been Top G aka Guel's and its runtime was super short as all hell, the Schwarzette is a MUST HAVE! It better show up in a Dynasty Warriors Gundam game and a super Robot Wars game in the future because I would love to just have Guel pilot it but still amazing review!
