HGUC #178 Full Armor Unicorn Gundam Destroy Mode

The Full Armor Unicorn Gundam Destroy Mode is one of the neatest renditions of the Unicorn Gundam in the High Grade line. This version features the green Psychoframe parts from the final battle, unlike the red Psychoframe seen throughout the Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn animated series. Aside from that, you’ll find all the same sweet features as with the alternate Full Armor Unicorn Gundam (Destroy Mode / Red Color Ver.). Despite being called the “Full Armor” Unicorn, the Full Armor Unicorn Gundam Destroy Mode doesn’t have any additional armor.

Well, who needs armor when you can add a massive amount of firepower! Here’s what you’ll find the Full Armor Unicorn Gundam Destroy Mode defending itself with:

• Hyper-Bazooka ×2
• Beam Magnum
• Beam Saber (Handle) ×4
• Beam Saber (Blade) x2
• Versus Ship Missile ×2
• Grenade Launcher ×2
• Hand Grenade ×4
• Beam Gatling Gun ×3 (two guns per unit)
• Shield (deactivated)
• Shield (Destroy Mode) ×3
• External Propellant Booster ×2
• Booster Strut ×2
• Display Pedestal ×3

Articulation –

Of the HGUC Unicorn model kits, this one includes the most additional equipment. Because of this, the Full Armor Unicorn Gundam Destroy Mode is the least posable of the HGUC variants. Removing some of the equipment may be necessary to create your perfect pose, so play around and find something you like before the Full Armor Unicorn Gundam Destroy Mode makes its way to your shelf.

Weapons and Other Notable Attributes –

The instructions to build the Full Armor Unicorn Gundam Destroy Mode’s weaponry takes up four whole pages in the manual! When completing the external propellant tanks, Bandai gives the option for a built-in stand, allowing the Full Armor Unicorn Gundam Destroy Mode to stand on its own without an Action Base. Each of the Gatling Shields has a base for display, or use the included adapter to recreate the Combined Shield Attack!
