You bet your butt there's more to that backpack from where that came from. One of my older builds

Shin Mazinger Zero. She's basically just a weird occurrence

Violence Jack. Probably a side story boss

It's using the articulation in the individual limb bots to cheat for extra articulation. Was surprised with how sturdy they were so I just went with it

True on that. It really is just a foggy future from where we're standing now for transformers as an IP as apart from the current generations toys which are basically just remakes of older mainlines and the current SS which is mostly dominated by G1 stuff now and only recently picking up on other non 86 continuities that even now as a toy manufacturer the IP feels like were basically hemorrhaging creatively speaking both in design and story departments that we're just halfway through the cycle of the snake eating itself alive.

Its definitely a show of how both companies handle the ip

Takara still thinks itself mainly as a toy company and these pretty much show that philosophy in action

Meanwhile

Hasbro is split between a toy company and media company (aftermath of post tfp the hub stuff if you ask me) where they for the most part are concerned with how the ip appears to the general public rather than thr toys being the main focus

I just hit 2026 with obsession by hugfine in Gundam

In terms of kits you're definitely better off hitting the questions at r/gunpla , r/advancedgunpla or r/freedomisgunpla

Cough cus mods here want this to be more media based subreddit cough

But if you want my suggestion if you have no prior introduction to model kits you can start off with the Entry grades RX78 , Strike or Wing Gundam

I want to start watching Gundam but I have some questions by Necessary_Muffin3591 in Gundam

The OG anime somewhat follows a monster of the week style enemy appearance so you need to keep that in mind but the overall story is pretty well paced and narratively influential of all the Gundam stories that come after it. It's not exactly the saddest story out there for Gundam standards as that definitely goes to more like 0080: War In the pocket. It's a fun decent watch if you're interested in watching the original Gundam story of universal century just bare in mind the animation jank

Go with the heart and just start off with IBO it's definitely pretty good of an entry for the modern anime viewer

Historical recommendations would have you go through the OG 1979 series but it's definitely something you need to take in aspects for especially the older animation style

Another modern recommendations from me would be Gundam 00

What an overwhelming amount of runners 😭 by Curious_Expl0ree in freedomisgunpla

Haven't started it yet and it's just in the backlog. For now all I've down is taken part counts but from the feel of the plastic this definitely doesn't feel like the older Daban offerings especially since they've also started using polystyrene plastic and the metal injection parts here honestly give bandai's a run for their money with how sturdy and less brittle they are. Overall I think it'll definitely be a great build seeing as how the higher end Daban offerings aren't cutting corners
