The RX-0 Unicorn Gundam is a fearsome Federation Mobile Suit constructed by Anaheim Electronics and commissioned by the Earth Federation as a part of their “UC Project,” which sought the creation of powerful Psychoframe Mobile Suits to eliminate all Zeon remnants. The Unicorn Gundam was the first Mobile Suit to utilize Psychoframe components throughout its frame, granting it unrivaled performance. The abundance of Psychoframe parts within the Unicorn Gundam allows its pilot to use the Mobile Suit as an extension of their own body rather than a piloted mech. The Unicorn Gundam’s incredible responsiveness increases further, thanks to the addition of the NT-D System. The NT-D System activates automatically when the Mobile Suit detects an enemy Newtype pilot, transforming the Unicorn Gundam into Destroy Mode. In Destroy Mode, the Unicorn Gundam pushes itself to the limit for five minutes of maximum performance. Newtype Pilots like Banagher Links could control the Unicorn Gundam with their brainwaves while Destroy Mode is active, making the Mobile Suit almost unstoppable in the right hands.

Articulation –
The MG Unicorn Gundam HD Color + MS Cage is identical to the previously released complete inner frame and a functioning cockpit. Bandai used an array of transparent red parts to represent the Mobile Suit’s psychoframe components built into the frame. This model also features a gloss coating on several runners for a supreme finish right out of the box! The MG Unicorn Gundam HD Color + MS Cage provides a complete transformation into Destroy Mode, with some steps perfectly reflecting the Mobile Suit’s on-screen mode change. The transformation does require the removal and relocation of certain parts, reducing the overall difficulty of the conversion and helping to maintain the proper proportions in either configuration.
Weapons and Other Notable Attributes –
The Beam Magnum and Hyper Bazooka feature removable magazines, both of which fit on the rear skirt for storage. Either of these weapons will fit into the storage connection on the Mobile Suit’s backpack, and the Beam Rifle can attach alternatively to the MG Unicorn Gundam HD Color + MS Cage’s forearm. The MG Unicorn Gundam HD Color + MS Cage’s Shield is transformable, like the Mobile Suit, featuring an extended face and exposed psychoframe while Destroy Mode is active. The MS Cage features ten articulated catwalks that builders can use to encase the Unicorn Gundam. This base also features storage brackets for all the MG Unicorn Gundam HD Color + MS Cage’s handheld accessories.
