The RX-178 Gundam MK-II is the second Mobile Suit in the lineage that started with the creation of the RX-78-2 Gundam during the One Year War and continued until UC 0088 with the introduction of the ORX-013 Gundam Mk-V. The RX-178 Gundam MK-II featured significant improvements to the previous design, streamlining the Mobile Suit for use within the Colonies. These improvements included a new “Movable Frame” concept, which increased maneuverability and power consumption. The MK-II also features less durable titanium alloy ceramic composite armor, further reducing the weight of the Mobile Suit. The Titans simplified the Gundam MK-II’s design in preparation for mass production, such as removing the onboard Vulcan Cannons. The Gundam MK-II proved valuable during its early deployment but quickly became outmatched by the advanced transformable Mobile Suits that characterized the Grypps War.
Included alongside the PG Gundam MK-II Titans ver. for accessories:
- Beam Rifle
- Hyper Bazooka
- Shield

- Spare E-Pack x2
- Beam Saber x2
- 1/60 Flight Crew Figure x2
Articulation –
The PG Gundam MK-II Titans version borrows most of its construction from the previously released PG RX-178 Gundam MK-II AEUG, showcasing the in-universe lineage that connects these two Mobile Suits. This model features double-jointed limbs and swiveling thighs, providing a wide range of motion to create dynamic poses. The PG Gundam MK-II Titans version also features several opening hatches that reveal the Mobile Suit’s inner workings and the 1/60 scale Titan’s pilot seated inside! This model includes LED parts for the Mobile Suit’s eye sensors and cockpit, only requiring two LR43 batteries for activation! Bandai provided thorough sheets of color-correcting and marking stickers to help customize the PG Gundam MK-II Titans version right out of the box!
Weapons and Other Notable Attributes –
The PG Gundam MK-II Titans version includes a new variation of the traditional Gundam loadout of Beam Rifle, Hyper Bazooka, Shield, and Beam Sabers. The Beam Rifle and Hyper Bazooka feature removable cartridges for some awesome reloading action! The PG Gundam MK-II Titans version includes two E-packs inside the Shield and a spare bazooka cartridge that slots into the side skirt armor. You can attach all of the PG Gundam MK-II Titans version’s weapons to the Mobile Suit when not in use, including the Beam Rifle! The included Vulcan Pods slot right onto the head for some added firepower but may reduce the head’s range of motion.
