4:23 - The stupid acronyms don't originate with War in the Pocket - they were cooked up later (with the release of the MG Alex v1.0, I think) to account for bits of info that had fallen out of favor. Like "Alex" became "Armor Layer Experiment", and they had to invent an acronym for "UNT Spacy" after they started calling it the "Earth Federation Space Force" (initially, the earth federation did not have an official name in English). Even "Chobham Armor" is a reference to a 1960s-era composite armor developed in Chobham Common in Surrey - but now it's an acronym because, I mean... They wouldn't use 1960s composite armor hundreds of years in the future, that would be silly. So instead it shares its name with 1960s British composite armor, but it's an acronym that means something else, because that makes WAY more sense.

Bandai could have made the Chobam Armor a P-Bandai add-on, but they didn't. Good on you, Bandai!

I spot a MG Full Armor Thunderbolt in the intro. Please go through the trouble and give us a part 2!

kamphfer 2.0 when... Also, MG hygogg eventually? Bandai, you have the technology to make that.

"Someones likes acronyms." Ha! *laugh in SEED*

They molded Bernie in his salute pose from the video he gave Alfred...

This is officially the year of the master grade

I hope they make 2.0 for the 08th ms team stuff. Ground based mobile suits are dope.

Yeah so the UNT Spacy is actually the old name of the EFSF (chikyuu renpou) before they standardized the translations. They've retconned it since, but they had to keep it for the Alex because the text shows up canonically in the show, iirc.

Chobham armor is a real life composite armor used on British MBTs. The people behind the Alex Gundam (That’s me!) just borrowed the term and made it an acronym.

The soul-crushing realization that we are all just hamburgers.

Choham armor is it was in developed in chobham in the U.K during the 1960's. Chobham armor is used on modern battle tanks today.

I really like the new head gear. I feel like it adds something new to the design that it was really missing before

Now all we need is a more modern version of the mg kampfer.

The dual inner frame... intrigues me...

Ya know, with the overall plain looking design, and huge open spaces this is a kitbash dream. With or without chunky armor, fill in some spots that need a bit more, (knees, and side skirts) then toss some pla-plate and scribe some lines this would look badass.

I just got mine on Saturday! I got three of the models you’ve reviewed and I haven’t been disappointed! Dynames looks amazing and feels amazing! I’ve got Alex 2.0 and working on it. I also have Freedom 2.0 as well!

WOW. The Alex has always been one of my favorite RX-78 units, but I would have skipped this if not for this review. Now I’m seriously considering it! Thanks!

Just purchased this model 15 minutes ago. Can't wait to get started.

Great review. Love your videos. I just finished placing my order before watching this for not only the NT-1 Alex but the RE/100 Zaku II FZ. CAN'T WAIT?!! ZAKU TODAY,... ALEX TOMORROW, WOOOOOOO!!!

GODDAMN, MECHA!!! How are you even able to make this review so PERFECT!!! Informative, entertaining... AWESOME!!! THE BEST REVIEW OF THE ALEX SO FAR!!! No... THIS ONE'S THE BEST!!!🤩🤩🤩

I love how in most gundam shoulder vulcans and such are just another feature, while in this unit the wrist gatling has all the other features going out of their way so it can maintain functionality.

Literally my favorite model kit to build and display, I’m tempted to buy a second one just to enjoy the build again. It outranks some of the high end complex kits I’ve built like the mg sazabi, and the pg exia. 15/10 kit

Those wrists are awesome! Never thought I'd be impressed by wrists of all things 😂 Also the upper hip movement to improve the ab crunch is amazing! 😮 Oh those ankles too! Hubba Hubba!

"5 foot drop onto concrete" Mecha how many times do we have to tell you to not manhandle your kits lmao

MG full armour thunderbolt. I'm pretty sure that is one of the most demanded videos and i Damn well want it even more then the godhand nippers video give us part 2!!!!!

Personally, I'm pretty happy they included the full armor headpiece. It's something I wish a lot more Full Armor designs would have. Definitely buying this whenever I get the chance

I am watching this while building the Rg Sazabi I just got!

I'm really hoping they eventually get around to a Kampfer 2.0 soon... That thing really could do with a more proportionally accurate remake.

Got this for my first MG. At first, I was real afraid of remembering my FG-related sticker nightmares, but NO! The stickers stay on and are easier to apply because of the larger size. Armor fits real good.

The Alex...aka A baoa qu battle on easy mode. But this looks so amazing a kit!

I hope we see more of this hand style, I always liked swappable fingers the most as they usually tend to be the most stable, and this looks like a good upgrade to them

I loved how the ova really spread the thought of soldiers being equal, having no hate to each individual, but except respecting them for protecting for what they think is right

Ok I’m gunna have to get this model. Love the Alex model

Btw If ever you've failed to see you could actually shift the chobham armor in the knees as well as the back of the knees to increase articulation.

If they do an MG 2.0 kampfer I will be elated lol

I have two of these kits: The regular 2.0 and the clear version. I'm not really into clears, but the color scheme on the ALEX is really nice.

The new style of weapon hands are a godsend because they dont fall off if you so much as breath on the kit like the old ones where you slot them on the peg.

Do you want to watch my wallet suffer?

The head armor looks freaking awesome! It completed the whole look!!!

Omg I'm so happy and now I want 2 I pre ordered 1 around my birthday

Just started on mine Alex 2.0 so far love it!!! 😍

Legit was praying you'd review this in early July, now all we need is MG Full armor unicorn 2.0

I just bought and got delivered my first gunpla MG ZGMF-X10A FREEDOM GUNDAM cant wait to build it

As soon as it was announced I was going to get it. I have the original and... right after building it knew I wanted an updated version. But seeing the new face mask of the armor on it cemented the fact of me getting two of them.

The HG was the first gunpla I ever built. I have a mighty need for this 2.0.

0:19 that ''hamburger'' caught me off guard XD

Waiting for the hg revive..... Cuz the Tristan did such a good job.

Finally a nice short dense review of the new nt

God damn I always admired the Alex but this kit does this thing WAY TOO MUCH JUSTICE!!!! This thing is my new favorite suit!!!! The CHOBAM armor is so cool!!!!❤️❤️❤️

The only gunpla reviewer that worth watching

Then have it pose with semi armor some armor attach to it and maybe put some weathering and will look like it just exit a warzone btw love the content keep up the gud job

The way you described 0080 was what Gundam is, or rather was, before it became a vessel for badass model kits!

Wow really looks awesome and super cool mate 😮😎👍

The structural frame for the additional armor, definitely should paint that a nice silver

If I get this kit I’ll definitely display it partially armored. Full chobam on one side, transitioning to no armor on the other side

I unfortunately ran into an issue with the ball joint on the hands being way too tight. The first time I tried to move the left hand it actually broke off completely while attempting to pose it. Luckily once you break down the arm, I discovered it's easy to pop the ball joint back out from the backside of the socket it you have something to push it through. So if you notice the hands are too stiff in the joints and don't want to risk damaging it like I did, deassemble the arm to pop the joint out using a tool and file/sand the joint down a little. Will probably help with it being overly stiff

You have an Army for land. A Navy for Water. Spacy for Space. Doesn't make it less wonky, IMHO.

Chobam armor is real!!! It’s on the American M 1 abrams and challenger 2 tank

Can be a good base for MG Virtue and Seravee since the armored looks is very much like Virtue/Seravee

Now that's what you called a MASTER GRADE!, I'm excited for the Barbatos.

Love war in pocket and love the look of this kit

a clear colour MG NT1 will released soon in Gundam base Tokyo, consider it if you wanna get a second one in alternative ver.

Great year for master grades. I preordered the Luna Maria Zaku. And looking forward to the MG Barbatos. My wallet is crying.

You can buy the RE100 Zaku II Kai and recreate that famous Burger-making Scene in the last episode

This year has been truly amazing

He should totally get a second Alex. That armor is to cool to keep it sitting in the box.

If I buy this Gundam, I'll build this during Christmas Season

can't decide whether to pose the gunpla with or without the extra armor? pose it as if they're on the process of mounting the armor on so you can leave some parts with the armor, with only the armor frame and without the armor, all at the same time.

I love watching your KZfaq voice of gundam kits big fan

This must be the sign of the near future upcoming MG Virtue. :D Armor-layered suits yay

Glad to see I'm not the only one with a MG Origin Gundam whose vent pieces just sometimes just fall off for no reason.

United Nations Troops Spacy, it was later retconned in 2003 ish to EFSF which is Earth Federation as in the Japanese dub, the Feddies as Zeon Soldiers calls them. because this kit was supposedly an anime accurate, hence the U.N.T spacy thingy.

So good I've been watching this over 10 times

that add-on armor is perfect for weathering

Amazing MG.. I am impressed 👏

I love the sheild gat and the chobam armour head helmet

You are the best Gunpla reviewer. 10/10

I have watched two videos in a row with you dropping stuff off the wall

I always thought that UNT SPACY was just a nod to Macross, seeing that both the director, and the character designer both worked on SDF Macross. That could just be a coincidence and not be the case at all, though. In all honesty, they probably just thought that "spacy" sounded cool.

I really love that famas style beam rifle 😍

I actually really dig the armor frame. That looks pretty sick

Chobam is a real armor. Its on tanks and was made in chobam England.

Can't wait for mine to ship

I really hope that the articulation in this master grade will be in more future master grades!

I’m glad they included the shield and rifle even though it never uses them

I need an RX-79 (G) on this frame. Like it was made for its poses!

and I thinking making a custom based on this alex, a battle damaged alex whit new paint and details thar inner frame of the armor would looks great

I just love the arm machine guns

So this awesome kit just came out and there's also the hi res astray noir! My wallet is crying right now

I'm convinced. I'll get two.

The Gundam Alex is one of my favorites.

I’d love to see one with amaro’s decals on it. Like it’s the version of what if he got the unit

I think that's how the chobham armour looks like, giving it's simple additional armour plate design and not so many details like on the base armour

If somebody did battle damage of this kit with the armor on? WHOOOH I WOULD HAVE A HEARTATTACK

man, can't wait for my mg alex i would love to weather that armor

Personally I want a RG Gundam Alex that has some of the features of this kit. (Maybe even fixing some of the issues this kit had/has.) Especially that opening shield and the opening Armor. Edit: Also I wished they had the newer RG style hands in the Master Grade line a bit more. (Apparently only 1 or 2 so far have used them. And those are apparently kits of some super small MS that were a limited release kit.)

The CHOBAM armor reminds me of the Virtue or the Seravee. Cool.

YYYEEESS FINALLY A NEW VIDDDEEOOO

The golden age is back baby.
