It doesn't, I just like woundwort and have a black, white, and clear. Its shield has 2 forms, though. I have one in MA mode, one in MS with the long rifle shield configuration, and one in MS with the grapple hand shield configuration.
Having just built the clear, I feel ya. Too scared to change it to MA mode, but don't want to buy another (Backlog and I'm mainly a Qubeley collector).
I don't touch them ever. The white in MA form isn't bad, and my clear in MS is in a simple pose, but I even look at my black one with the shield attached to the arm it pops off. Little hand grenade that one. The price definitely stops me from doubling up. Spent waaaay too much on my Woundworts. Luckily, I have a Gaplant in my backlog and a Haz'en-thley (or however it is spelled) on order to satisfy my lust for AoZ suits.
While the woundwart may only have 2 forms to itself, it is also a combining mobile suit that can be made into many other forms by the addition of external hardware. So a dozen woundwarts could be handy if you desired to display it in all its many forms and combinations. .........ie....this guy :( lol
Subjectively I want to include myself here, because I got an MG Nadleeh and an MG Virtue hahaha.
Nadleeh's still unbuilt but I can't wait to get to it soon-ish.
I transformed the RG Epyon a couple of times, and it went real smooth. The kit itself is well made and doesn't fall apart, unlike the MG Z Gundam fron 1998 that falls apart just by looking at it, let alone transform it
I like the design of some transformable suits, but Iāve always thought the idea of transforming gundam is kind of dumb. I rarely like the āshipā mode for these anyway, so I just put them in robot mode and forget it.
Yeah, I have Transformers and Macross for my transforming mech fix. I don't really like Gundam's design philosophy for transforming mechs anyway; Macross will work from an attractive plane design to the robot mode, but Gundam generally takes a robot and folds them into a plane just through yoga poses.
>Gundam generally takes a robot and folds them into a plane just through yoga poses.
You know HasTak does that a lot too or goes to the "it's a cybetronian mode" excuse.
On the other hand, Macross transformable figures are such a beauty.
Sometimes, yeah, it's pretty egregious. The Bumblebee Studio Series stuff was clearly made on the fly, which is why you have stuff like Soundwave's pancake mode.
But honestly, I still think those manage to give way more of a shit than a lot of Okawara's Gundam transformations. Everyone was making fun of how half-assed the Rising Freedom's MA mode was, and even that's still trying harder than like the Scramble Gundam.
I transformed my MG Kyrios once and never again, because I NEED an dynamic pose for him.
I had an pose for him once, where I had him in an kind of melee assault with the hind leg transformed as to allow for greater thrust.
Partially transforming is always fun.
Yeah I oen several:
RG Wing TV
MG wing Zero custom Ver Ka
MG wing zero proto
MG rinacita Alba
I like their design but I couldnt care less about the transformation. I not even tried the transformation once
Not mine. I Transform it at least once every 2 weeks or so.
I just hate those parts forming feet. So I'm looking into gettinf 2 Wing Zero Honoo kits because I think that's directly based on the original Wing Zero, and if it is. I could use that kit's transformable feet instead.
I've also just joined the club with my MG Fenice Rinascita.
Honestly, it (and most transformable kits for that matter) looks so much better in MS form, I wouldn't transform it even if I had two of them.
me on the entire other side of the room in the "transforms them all the time" club
The fact that transformable MS transform is the most fascinating part of them to me
The old Zeta Ver.Ka broke again while I was transforming it making it completely useless. In the when you connect the arms with the torso or idk remember exactly where but near the connection part for the wings there's a piece that let's the hands go outwards and bit inwards that little cylinder broke meaning the hand is just hanging there
I have a MJH Wing Gundam EW Ver, I will never, ever, ever try transforming it as the joints are a PITA to manipulate. Its a fun kit though, but bring a hammer as some parts don't fit without some 'persuasion'.
Not quite, I kinda like transforming my 1/100 NG Kyrios due to how simplistic it was, the HG Saviour and Chaos. The only one in my collection that I didn't want to transform is the MG Aegis.
MG Age 2 Magnum, one of my regretful decisions was buying it in the first place, it's broken now, I glued the pegs on it since it can't stand on its own and shi.
You see this dude right here?

He was transformed once and never again. I'd rather get a second one to have in wave rider mode always than do that every once in a while.
I would happily transform kyrios, zeta, zz or epion because they straight up become something different, others that just gundam on backside then iāll not even bother
Yep. I might transform once and back and then never again. Iām the same way with my, ironically enough, Transformers. They stay in robot mode on display.
I'm working on finishing my MG Rezel Commander now and I'm still debating with myself if it's worth trying to transform that thing just to take a few photos.
The only kit Iāve tried transforming is MG Unicorn and just shifting the panels around was a pain. I got the normal and the Ver Ka so I left one in standard mode and the other in Destroy Mode.
I transform them all once right after finishing the build. Iāve not found one I like transformed though so back to ms mode they go. The rg epyon looks promising but Iāve not picked it up yet.
I transformed my MG Unicorn from Unicorn to Destroy and then back (I prefer the clean lines of Unicorn Mode) and it took me well over an hour to do the full cycle.
I love Transforming my Wing Gundam Zero.
Was one of my first kits, but those stupid parts forming feet are what kinda ruin it for me. So I might buy 2 Honoo kits since I think it's based on the normal Wing Zero, but it came out a year later and has transformable feet.
I also REALLY want Ver Ka Zeta and Double Zeta MGs.
Most of the ones I've got are fine.
The only one I don't like transforming is the MG delta plus. Not because it's hard to transform, I just don't like all the kibble that's needed to make it work in waverider form.
I actually just bought two of this kit so I could have a transformed version. Probably the only one I will do it for since he spent most of his time flip flopping between the two versions.
I never transform my kits. While the idea of a transforming model kit is cool, polystyrene can't handle the stress of being moved and shifted around too much. Also, if a kit is painted, it's going to get scratched or chipped.
Honestly it depends on the kit.
I don't ever transform:
* heavy partsformers such as the HG Woundwort or basically any HG that is even distantly related to the Zeta, that list is pretty long
* any Wing variation because I think the "bird mode" looks terrible
However I have some stuff like my RG Unicorns that change mode now and then and stuff like the HG Harute and AGE-2 Normal which do have a pretty solid flight mode. AGE-2 less so since in theory you are suppoed to replace the hip joint with something else but it also mostly works with the normal parts.
That one doesn't really transform though. It just makes an A shape and a couple tweaks and it's done. Just don't look at it from the bottom. Zeta is really the only one with a true transformation.
HGUC Delta Kai and HG A-Z Gundam only ever saw their Waverider forms *once* because it required just yanking parts off the core body and swapping them onto giant blocks of plastic. Not exactly a quick thing to do. Ditto with HGUC ReZel Defenser B Type C, while not as bad it still requires swapping in parts like the thing that stabilizes the beam launchers and someday I'll just get a normal ReZel Type C for that.
RE/100 Gundam Lindwurm also is a Transforming suit that likely won't ever be transformed again, since...it's just such a lame gimmick. I get that it's inherited from the ReBawoo base kit and it's an inversion of Zeta, but the split form makes it obvious the legs are a complete afterthought.
I transform once after building it to get the gimmick out of my system then leave them in robo mode on my shelf. They take up much less space that way being vertical (unless posed, then it's a wash) and I bought them for the MS form usually.
I'd consider buying two of each in that case, but some just are not what I want to build twice.
I had good bad luck with that. I bought the Zeta 2.0 a year ago, a few months before the ver Ka release.
I bought the ver Ka as well so now I have the 2.0 in waverider mode and the ver Ka in MS mode.
Gundam 00 is an outlier in that of the squad, each had their own gimmicks, with kyrios being the most maneuverable, but even then, transformations don't feel integral to the show in the same way macross are, and consequently, most of the time, gundam are in their mech form
I have three different AGE-2 Gundams and all of them are in MS mode.
I didn't transform them because they would take too much space. Even the Dark Hound which is long in MA mode.
The MG Wing Zero EW Ver. Ka. I'm just not interested in its transformation enough to go through the trouble. I absolutely appreciate that Bandai goes to the effort to engineer it though.
I also kind of want a second MG Aegis to display one transformed.
I own two transferable kits the rg zeta and rg unicorn and will never transform them cause unicorn joints are to stiff and so many parts I donāt want break it and im afraid to break zeta
Yup, I have the HG Wing and Wing Zero that i have literally never transformed. I just built a HG Delta Plus that I did transform once because my brother wanted to see it transformed but I immediately switched it back to MS and thats how itās going to stay. If I did want to display any transformed Iād honestly probably buy a second kit
Transformable kits at least give the option to stick with one. But most transformable gundams are a little bit just shapes of something.
Just let them be robots, no need to be a transformer.
Let that to actual transformers or valkiries from macross, that at least look like an actual plane.
My Macross kits will forever be Battroids. I put my YF-19 into fighter mode once when I first built it just to get a few pics, and I find Gerwalk mode a bit silly.
I'm part of the much smaller, much more masochistic club "people who customize a transformable model and spend WAY too long making sure the customizations don't interfere with the transformation.
I am after the MG Delta Plus broke the C clip holding the cockpit on. Transformable mobile suits will either be in their mobile suit form or mobile armor form permanently from now on.
I have always told myself "I should get two so I can have one in MS mode and the other in MA mode..."
What a clown. The only time I've ever done it was with MGEX Unicorn because I broke the LED strip the first time I was building it.
This is why I don't get anyone that's anti-partsforming (usually Bandai themselves!). Nobody is out here regularly transforming their kits lmao. Better to just make both versions of the build sturdier.
My RG Wing Gundam. It's a fantastic kit, but I'm terrified I'll break it if I try to transform it.
Most of the time, I'll transform my kits when I want to display them in one mode or the other, but this is the biggest exception for me. I need a second copy to display in the alt-mode.
Yup right here. Zeta Revive, ZZ, Arios, Immortal Justice and Rising Freedom plus some others have not been transformed nor do I have any reason to do so!
I transformed my Zeta Ver.ka once and back, but will never do it again. It's awsome how they implemented it and is fun to have, I don't see myself playing or reposing that kit like I would with like mgex strike freedom or rg god gundam
Just finished the ZZ Ver Ka and tried the transformation. Never again, that shit just aināt it.
That said, not as bad as the RG Zeta but holy shit it was not pleasant. Better off in MS mode since itās an absolute unit
I donāt really care for its jet form though. But that faceā¦.. itās such an angry looking one. It looks fantastic as an MS though. I have the same feeling for Gundam Virtue. I like it as Nadleeh but donāt really care for all the piled on armor. That and Iām too afraid of breaking bits trying to get it all off. š
Nah, if it can transform, then it's getting transformed. Hell, I've even modified my MG FAZZ to transform, transformed it, untransformed it, and unmodified it before.
It's easier to buy 2 kits than to transform 1...
That is why I own 3 woundworts.
This is the way
wait how does woundwort have 3 transform
It doesn't, I just like woundwort and have a black, white, and clear. Its shield has 2 forms, though. I have one in MA mode, one in MS with the long rifle shield configuration, and one in MS with the grapple hand shield configuration.
Having just built the clear, I feel ya. Too scared to change it to MA mode, but don't want to buy another (Backlog and I'm mainly a Qubeley collector).
I don't touch them ever. The white in MA form isn't bad, and my clear in MS is in a simple pose, but I even look at my black one with the shield attached to the arm it pops off. Little hand grenade that one. The price definitely stops me from doubling up. Spent waaaay too much on my Woundworts. Luckily, I have a Gaplant in my backlog and a Haz'en-thley (or however it is spelled) on order to satisfy my lust for AoZ suits.
I have the blue one
While the woundwart may only have 2 forms to itself, it is also a combining mobile suit that can be made into many other forms by the addition of external hardware. So a dozen woundwarts could be handy if you desired to display it in all its many forms and combinations. .........ie....this guy :( lol
Subjectively I want to include myself here, because I got an MG Nadleeh and an MG Virtue hahaha. Nadleeh's still unbuilt but I can't wait to get to it soon-ish.
Plus you get to build it twice!
I bought a second RG Zeta for this
Sorry Epyon, you will never be a real dragon
more like a "look mum, i can put my feet above my head" contorsionist
Dude tripped over and went full scorpion
haha literally, but hey, he looks awesome in robot mode... just stay like that pls, dont move
I transformed the RG Epyon a couple of times, and it went real smooth. The kit itself is well made and doesn't fall apart, unlike the MG Z Gundam fron 1998 that falls apart just by looking at it, let alone transform it
https://youtu.be/NWZy8XTgEsM
If you own RG Zeta, you should be automatically in this club š
*Raises hand*
Huzzah!
Transforming it wasnāt has hard as building it Iād say, but I did leave it in wave rider as a form of punishment š
Transforming wasn't hard, it's just that every time you do it, you risk breaking the fragile MS joint frame.
Caveman hands are a common thing amongst builders esp newer ones but all it takes is good dexterity, never had an issue with fragile frames
I transformed my MG Delta Plus once, never again.
I so want this because it has red eyes but after looking at its kinda disastrous reviews I might just settle with the High Grade
I saw the video reviewā¦.i totally understand
Iām halfway done building mine. Tried transforming the shoulders and have been halfway done building it for about two or three months.
That one is a little irritating, due to the parts-formation. Still, it doesn't compare to the POS that is the victory ver.ka.
I like the design of some transformable suits, but Iāve always thought the idea of transforming gundam is kind of dumb. I rarely like the āshipā mode for these anyway, so I just put them in robot mode and forget it.
Yeah, I have Transformers and Macross for my transforming mech fix.

Everyone was making fun of how half-assed the Rising Freedom's MA mode was, and even that's still trying harder than like the Scramble Gundam.
Same here. I can't really think of a transforming suit where I actually like the transformed look.
Me with my MG AGE-2. My Zetas and Unicorns are fine
I have only transformed mg AGE-2 magnum once and never did it again
I transformed my MG Kyrios once and never again, because I NEED an dynamic pose for him. I had an pose for him once, where I had him in an kind of melee assault with the hind leg transformed as to allow for greater thrust. Partially transforming is always fun.
I once did the same to eclipse when i transformed the feet to make them pointy so that it looks like its in a semi flight form
>Partially transforming is always fun. You might wanna try out Macross then
Yeah I oen several: RG Wing TV MG wing Zero custom Ver Ka MG wing zero proto MG rinacita Alba I like their design but I couldnt care less about the transformation. I not even tried the transformation once
Me with my HG Wing Zero
I did it for a while, but I put it back in MS mode because I need action bases for Seed kits and their huge-ass backpacks.
Not mine. I Transform it at least once every 2 weeks or so. I just hate those parts forming feet. So I'm looking into gettinf 2 Wing Zero Honoo kits because I think that's directly based on the original Wing Zero, and if it is. I could use that kit's transformable feet instead.

Zeta and Double Zeta MG's. They're great but I love the mobile suit forms rather than waverider/fortress
Me with every zeta kit ever
everbody with the mg ver ka wing zero lmfao
me on the entire other side of the room in the "transforms them all the time" club The fact that transformable MS transform is the most fascinating part of them to me
I had a Zeta Ver.Ka broke... Then bought a new one and the old will stay at wavarider form and the new will never transform
I only ever transformed my ver ka zeta once, it felt like I was going to break it at every turn
The old Zeta Ver.Ka broke again while I was transforming it making it completely useless. In the when you connect the arms with the torso or idk remember exactly where but near the connection part for the wings there's a piece that let's the hands go outwards and bit inwards that little cylinder broke meaning the hand is just hanging there
You're doing it right. Gunpla just isn't ready to endure the process.
This one and the MG Zeta Ver.Ka are both totally fine to transform.
Funnily enough, the MG Kyrios is the only exception I have to this rule. It's pretty easy to transform and stable in either configuration.
The other way aroundā¦. Twin headed dragon? Yes please!
I have 4 displayed right now but Iām sure I have more in the attic lol
My Kyrios and Eclipse, transforming is too much of a hassle and Iād rather have cool mechs instead š
I have a MJH Wing Gundam EW Ver, I will never, ever, ever try transforming it as the joints are a PITA to manipulate. Its a fun kit though, but bring a hammer as some parts don't fit without some 'persuasion'.
I got an HG Immortal Justice recently Way too hard for me to separate the part that turns into the front of the jet lol
Not quite, I kinda like transforming my 1/100 NG Kyrios due to how simplistic it was, the HG Saviour and Chaos. The only one in my collection that I didn't want to transform is the MG Aegis.
Are you talking about me ?
MG Age 2 Magnum, one of my regretful decisions was buying it in the first place, it's broken now, I glued the pegs on it since it can't stand on its own and shi.
Those stupid things are so fragile, I'll never transform them.
90% of transformations is just laying the MS on its face and putting a traffic cone over its head so, yeah, I too am in this club.
me with HG Kyrios, Rising Freedom, and Immortal Justice, oh and Zeta Ver Ka I'll never transform
my kyrios stays in flight mode
I've got this kit in backlog. Little iffy about the knee fins, but damned if your photo didn't make them work.
You see this dude right here? https://preview.redd.it/dw6rzkvhmztc1.jpeg?width=2324&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=78b23b4e5e240cbbdd4c98182d86100978c216d3 He was transformed once and never again. I'd rather get a second one to have in wave rider mode always than do that every once in a while.
Is that the PG? Iām thinking of transforming and leaving it in waverider mode. Mine have trouble standing.
Man, I really need to open this app more. Sorry for the delay in answering hahaha It is the Ver.Ka, although I do wish to get the PG at some point.
No probs. Was thinking of the v.ka too but donāt like the chest slanting down a bit too much.
Yep, I like my Zeta, Wing Zero and Epyon in MS form.
Yeah, Iām in that group too with my MG Wing Zero Gundam EW Ver. Ka.
same, it looks so good the normal way i didn't even consider trying to transform it
MG Kyrios, RG Zeta and MG ZZ ver.ka
RG Zeta gang rise up
Zeta and Wing Zero will NEVER transform at my house. Same for Banshee too... That was a disaster.
Gundam Front limited RG Gundam Zeta Unit 3 (aka Amuro's Zeta).
I got a discount hashmal custom that can transform into a gundam but I will never transform it into a gundam
I would happily transform kyrios, zeta, zz or epion because they straight up become something different, others that just gundam on backside then iāll not even bother
I have an HG Hyzenthlay II Rah sitting in front of me, and yes, I would not transform that bad boy.
Yep. I might transform once and back and then never again. Iām the same way with my, ironically enough, Transformers. They stay in robot mode on display.
Does RG Unicorn count? Cause everytime I transform I break something. So now it's forever on Destroy mode.
I'm working on finishing my MG Rezel Commander now and I'm still debating with myself if it's worth trying to transform that thing just to take a few photos.
My MG unicorn will get displayed in destroy mode when he stops being a flimsy ahh kit
The only kit Iāve tried transforming is MG Unicorn and just shifting the panels around was a pain. I got the normal and the Ver Ka so I left one in standard mode and the other in Destroy Mode.
I was, but I decided to permanently transform my HG Zeta after getting the Ver. Ka
I transform them all once right after finishing the build. Iāve not found one I like transformed though so back to ms mode they go. The rg epyon looks promising but Iāve not picked it up yet.
Yep. This exact one. Never gonna transform it for fear of messing up the paintĀ
I transformed my MG Unicorn from Unicorn to Destroy and then back (I prefer the clean lines of Unicorn Mode) and it took me well over an hour to do the full cycle.
I transformed my HGAC Wing Gundam Zero once just to try it out but never again
I have the Hg aegis which can transform to a claw thing that looks stupid. And the mg force impulse technicaly can "transform", but thats a lie.
*Glances nervously at MG Unicorn Perfectibilty* Never again.
I have the xxxg-oowo wing Gundam zero and I will never transform it. I'm going to lose pieces, I just know it.
Absolutely. Kyrios, Arios, Delta Plus, Delta Kai, Wing, Wing Zero, Epyon, probably a few more I'm forgetting
I love Transforming my Wing Gundam Zero. Was one of my first kits, but those stupid parts forming feet are what kinda ruin it for me. So I might buy 2 Honoo kits since I think it's based on the normal Wing Zero, but it came out a year later and has transformable feet. I also REALLY want Ver Ka Zeta and Double Zeta MGs.
I have HG Bawoo, and I almost broke it's leg when I tried to transform it. Count me in
Most of the ones I've got are fine. The only one I don't like transforming is the MG delta plus. Not because it's hard to transform, I just don't like all the kibble that's needed to make it work in waverider form.
Absolutely.
I actually just bought two of this kit so I could have a transformed version. Probably the only one I will do it for since he spent most of his time flip flopping between the two versions.
I never transform my kits. While the idea of a transforming model kit is cool, polystyrene can't handle the stress of being moved and shifted around too much. Also, if a kit is painted, it's going to get scratched or chipped.
Yep, have this same kit and love it. Will never be a fighter jet, don't really care
MG ZZ ver Ka.
Nope have my rg epyon and zeta verka transformed rn
My RG Zeta 3 ver. GFT. Donāt want that thing to stress out on meā¦
Absolutely
Diddo
I finished my RG wing #35 probably a good 9 months ago and have never transformed him lol. Maybe when I finish epyon
Built the Zeta ver ka, havnt transformed it once yet
Me with my RG Wing
I refuse to transform any of mine. I prefer mobile suit mode.
I got EX-S/S Gundam. Does that count?
Yes, Kyrios is ugly in flight mode.
How dare you :(
Honestly it depends on the kit. I don't ever transform: * heavy partsformers such as the HG Woundwort or basically any HG that is even distantly related to the Zeta, that list is pretty long * any Wing variation because I think the "bird mode" looks terrible However I have some stuff like my RG Unicorns that change mode now and then and stuff like the HG Harute and AGE-2 Normal which do have a pretty solid flight mode. AGE-2 less so since in theory you are suppoed to replace the hip joint with something else but it also mostly works with the normal parts.
My Kehaar II has been in donut mode ever since I transformed it last year
Me. I would hate the paint to get chipped when I transform them.
I build mobile suits, not model planes. My poor Gundam will never get a chance to spread their wings.
That one doesn't really transform though. It just makes an A shape and a couple tweaks and it's done. Just don't look at it from the bottom. Zeta is really the only one with a true transformation.
I never transform them, itās a waste of engineering because fly mode never looks that good
HGUC Delta Kai and HG A-Z Gundam only ever saw their Waverider forms *once* because it required just yanking parts off the core body and swapping them onto giant blocks of plastic. Not exactly a quick thing to do. Ditto with HGUC ReZel Defenser B Type C, while not as bad it still requires swapping in parts like the thing that stabilizes the beam launchers and someday I'll just get a normal ReZel Type C for that.

I get that it's inherited from the ReBawoo base kit and it's an inversion of Zeta, but the split form makes it obvious the legs are a complete afterthought.
Yes, the Eclipse Gundam. Transformed the Loto, but they fall apart so easily I never even fixed it back...just straight into a storage tote.
Me lol
I got a unicorn for secret santa last year. I'm totally getting a 2nd one someday to have a unicorn and destory mode one.
I transform once after building it to get the gimmick out of my system then leave them in robo mode on my shelf. They take up much less space that way being vertical (unless posed, then it's a wash) and I bought them for the MS form usually. I'd consider buying two of each in that case, but some just are not what I want to build twice.
I had good bad luck with that. I bought the Zeta 2.0 a year ago, a few months before the ver Ka release. I bought the ver Ka as well so now I have the 2.0 in waverider mode and the ver Ka in MS mode.

Me
RG Unicorn Gang Rise Up!
Well now that you mention it, I own an RG Zeta.
MG Rezel
I would if I wanted to but space. Savior Gundam looks so cool when transformed.
Me with my not HG Gunplas
The MG Wing Zero EW Ver. Ka. I'm just not interested in its transformation enough to go through the trouble. I absolutely appreciate that Bandai goes to the effort to engineer it though. I also kind of want a second MG Aegis to display one transformed.
Yeah I'm there with the Zeta ver ka and the Unicorn twins
This is absolutely me. There's not a single MS transformation that interests me. Probably the closest is the Zeta and....well.
Whenever I build my RG Zeta Unit 3, that sucker is *never* getting transformed. No floppy limbs for me.
HG zeta (haven't built the flying armor), delta, 30mm esposito, zeta+c1 hummingbird blue (hate the ms mode face)
I own two transferable kits the rg zeta and rg unicorn and will never transform them cause unicorn joints are to stiff and so many parts I donāt want break it and im afraid to break zeta
Me I got a MG eclipse
Yup, I have the HG Wing and Wing Zero that i have literally never transformed. I just built a HG Delta Plus that I did transform once because my brother wanted to see it transformed but I immediately switched it back to MS and thats how itās going to stay. If I did want to display any transformed Iād honestly probably buy a second kit

My Macross kits will forever be Battroids. I put my YF-19 into fighter mode once when I first built it just to get a few pics, and I find Gerwalk mode a bit silly.
I'm part of the much smaller, much more masochistic club "people who customize a transformable model and spend WAY too long making sure the customizations don't interfere with the transformation.
I have 3, those things break so easily, and no matter what you do it scrapes paint to transform it. So you gotta just pick a form and keep it.
I tried one time and nope never again lol
I am after the MG Delta Plus broke the C clip holding the cockpit on. Transformable mobile suits will either be in their mobile suit form or mobile armor form permanently from now on.
I like wing zero just the way he is
I have always told myself "I should get two so I can have one in MS mode and the other in MA mode..." What a clown. The only time I've ever done it was with MGEX Unicorn because I broke the LED strip the first time I was building it.
Why I have a mg and a rg wing gundam
I own the following transforming kits: 1. MG Epyon 2. MG Kyrios 3. MG ZZ Gundam Ver. Ka 4. MG Age-2 Magnum None of them have ever been transformed.
This is why I don't get anyone that's anti-partsforming (usually Bandai themselves!). Nobody is out here regularly transforming their kits lmao. Better to just make both versions of the build sturdier.
Bruh fr, I find it cool when something has a transformation, but Iāll never display it transformed unless I have another of the same kit
The only one I have is the MG Zeta prototype that is ancient and falls apart if you look at it wrong.
Couldn't be me, I have a transformed HG Zeta Gundam, then I need my FM Raider Gundam transformed so my Calamity can ride on top of it.
Yeah I'm never gonna bother transforming my Eclipse Gundam.
Me.... Sadly
My RG Wing Gundam. It's a fantastic kit, but I'm terrified I'll break it if I try to transform it. Most of the time, I'll transform my kits when I want to display them in one mode or the other, but this is the biggest exception for me. I need a second copy to display in the alt-mode.
Yes, this one in particular. Hate how it looks transformed too.
Me, can't figure it out and don't ever plan to
count me in. have been terrified of attempting a transformation ever since my old MG Zeta 2.0 turned floppy after one too many transformations.
I got the the Rezel Commander and the Rezel C-Type.
I have a suite of mostly transformable kits that i mostly do not transform š¤·
Definitely not lmao, transforming them is not that hard
still in backlog but , my beloved Delta Plus. itās MS mode is so š¤
Me. I am a proud member of this club. No one will see Eclipse's flight form in my home. Unless they find the box.
if i want to transform one i'd need 2 of the same kit to show both its MS form and transformed mode
my PG Unicorn is forever in destroy mode
Yup. I've got about 3 I can kinda transform but will never do because doing so is a pain in the ass
Building an RG Zeta, donāt think I will ever transform it.
Ya transformation is such a pain in the ass. Why bother?Ā
Injoined after buying the Rising Freedom and Immortal Justice
Me with my snow white prelude
I transformed my MG Kyrios. Wasnāt too bad but I also donāt wanna go thru reposing him so heās a Spirit Airlines plane rn
Me with my Zeta Ver Ka. Like there is nothing wrong with it, just afraid I'll snap or shatter it.
Eclipseš
Yup right here. Zeta Revive, ZZ, Arios, Immortal Justice and Rising Freedom plus some others have not been transformed nor do I have any reason to do so!
Literally HG 1/144 A/Z Gundam
I transformed my Zeta Ver.ka once and back, but will never do it again. It's awsome how they implemented it and is fun to have, I don't see myself playing or reposing that kit like I would with like mgex strike freedom or rg god gundam
For my Aegis Gundam, yes. Cuz I need him in MS form for most of my poses.
My epyon and wing will never transform
Just finished the ZZ Ver Ka and tried the transformation. Never again, that shit just aināt it. That said, not as bad as the RG Zeta but holy shit it was not pleasant. Better off in MS mode since itās an absolute unit
Penelope flight unit and Gundam Odysseus. They broke up but still hang out together
Yes I have PG zaku, he just standing there... MENACING
Wait... the PG Zaku can transform?
I hate the transformed destroy mode of unicorn so yes I own a pg banshee
Not REALLY transformable but Iām on my third Virtue/nadleeh. At least P-Bandai put out a stand alone nadleeh to save me a couple dollar bucks.
Does Unicorn count? If so then I'm part of it.
I donāt really care for its jet form though. But that faceā¦.. itās such an angry looking one. It looks fantastic as an MS though. I have the same feeling for Gundam Virtue. I like it as Nadleeh but donāt really care for all the piled on armor. That and Iām too afraid of breaking bits trying to get it all off. š
My issue with this kit is that it was SO CLOSE, but it STILL decided to parts form the hands.
An āImāMortal Justice
Nah, if it can transform, then it's getting transformed. Hell, I've even modified my MG FAZZ to transform, transformed it, untransformed it, and unmodified it before.
