    I’ve built the Powered GM, and I love it. Sure, it has some old technology, particularly with the ball joint hips and loose trigger finger, but the fact that it’s still so modern in several elements makes it really impressive for a High Grade from 2006. I’m also building the Age-1 Normal. The fact that it has an articulated back skirt is also really impressive, and I bet some small modifications can let you turn it into a double premium buttflap.

    Funnily enough, the same thing happened with one of my beam blades on the Striker, although in that case it was just bent, and caused by the Striker falling off my shelf. everything else was fine, thankfully, but that god for that extra beam. Hmm, now that I think about it, I should have a spare yellow beam lying around somewhere. might be cool to use two different kinds.

    Come to think of it, I recall the Red Rider, the Pale Rider Project machine from the ongoing Gundam Aggressor manga, is equipped with Wearable Armor like the GM Striker, but since I noticed the armor is molded in with the actual parts, it's painfully obvious the Red Rider's Wearable Armor will be completely separate pieces. Real unfortunate.

    It's a very nice kit, and definitely one of my favorite GMs (My favorite is probably the GM III), but I wish we had seen it do more in animation. A common complaint with GMs, naturally. This is definitely a great value at 1200 yen. By the way, the GM Sniper K9 looks damn good in chobham armor, great idea. Was that difficult to do?

    Arrowdodger The origin might fix that, Sayla and Sleggar get their own custom GMs :3 The armor that's on him fits as is, but the legs aren't a perfect fit. You can see that the front piece is slightly off in the video. Since Kai Shangar asked for it in the Alex review, I decided to put it in =D If I have some more time I'll try some other machines out, the GM custom might be a good fit(other than the shoulders)

    Unlikely you're still waiting for answer, but just in case you are or if somebody else needs advice, here are my top three GMs (no particular order) : - The HGBF GM/GM : pretty simple but is simple to build, has some awesome articulation and can be customised easily. It even come with 3 head : a redesign of the original GM's, one that is very similar to the GM Command's, and one that's reminiscent of the DOME Bit. Perfect for beginners. - GM Sniper K9 : first, it's based on the GM Sniper II, one of the best GM designs ever. Second, you can build it either as the Build Fighters, the original design, or a mix of the two, with a badass and pretth realistic green color scheme. And third, it's got a shitload of accessories, including eight 1/144 soldiers. - GM III : a really good upgrade of the original GM. It notably gets rid of the flat face and the diaper skirsts, and replaces them which much more awesome and modern designs. The high point of this kit is definitely the accessories though, in particular the optional missile launchers on the shoulders and the side skirts. Definitely the most badass and powerful GM that isn't a limited production ace machine or a specialised variant. A bit old but still very cool. There are a lot of GMs, and most of them are awesome (I struggled to only list three !), but these ones are some of the best ones I can think of that aren't P-Bandai.

    I can’t say anything about the build itself, but the end product still holds up extremely well to modern day High Grades. Modern HGs might be able to cut down on the stickers and have pegs at the thighs for full thigh rotation and splits, but the GM Striker’s articulation is still competitive with modern kits, and the accessories have plenty of gimmicks as well. I’d say the answer is still “hell yes.”
