HG00 #34 GN-005 Gundam Virtue Trans-Am Mode

The GN-005 Gundam Virtue is a special high-powered artillery Mobile Suit operated by the leader of the Ptolemaios Team, Tieria Erde. As the leader’s unit, the GN-005 Gundam Virtue has many unique features, including the ability to purge its heavy armor to reveal the Gundam Nadleeh underneath! Gundam Nadleeh hides its actual appearance to protect the unit’s Trail System. The Trial System allows Gundam Nadleeh to remote-control nearby Gundam units as long as they connect with Celestial Being’s Veda supercomputer. The Trial System served as a failsafe, dissuading the other Gundam Pilots from betraying Celestial Being and preventing enemies from capturing the Gundams. This High Grade rendition of the Gundam Virtue does not transform into the Gundam Nadleeh, as Bandai opted to release the Gundam Nadleeh Separately.

Included alongside the HG Gundam Virtue Trans-AM for accessories:

• GN Bazooka
• Beam Saber x2

Articulation –

The HG Gundam Virtue Trans-AM is essentially a special-color version of the previously released HG00 #06 GN-005 Gundam Virtue, both supported by an array of polycaps and perfect for builders of all skill levels. The model also features double-jointed knees, helping to provide a solid range of motion to the Gundam Virtue’s lower half. The HG Gundam Virtue Trans-AM features movable sections on its calf armor and GN Cannons that open to represent the activation of the Mobile Suit’s GN field. The HG Gundam Virtue Trans-AM features a removable armor panel underneath its waist, covering a 3mm attachment point, allowing builders to pose the model atop an Action Base without any adapters!

Weapons and Other Notable Attributes –

The HG Gundam Virtue Trans-AM includes an assortment of unique weapons, including the pair of gigantic GN Cannons, mounted to the Mobile Suit’s backpack. The backpack’s articulated attachment points allow builders to deploy the GN Cannons over Virtue’s shoulders, just like in the anime! The GN Bazooka is a powerful handheld weapon used by HG Gundam Virtue Trans-AM, firing high-density GN Particles capable of destroying multiple targets in one blast. The GN Bazooka also features an alternate, Burst Mode, which uses the Mobile Suit’s power supply increased firepower. The GN Bazooka’s barrel extends to recreate Burst Mode.
