Review

This is the finished 【HGWFM】MICHAELIS.An MS developed by Grassley Defense Systems that appears in “MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM the WITCH from MERCURY”, and is equipped with the GUND format jamming device “Antidote”. The pilot is Shaddiq Zenelli, Grassley’s adopted son.

Like the company’s BEGUIR-BEU that appeared in PROLOGUE, the whole body is colored white and purple, and instead of the manipulator hand on the right arm, it is equipped with a beam bracer, a characteristic armament.

Side by side with BEGUIR-PENTE and SULETTA AERIAL equipped with Antidote from Glasley. Like DARILBALDE and PHARACT, it was slightly larger than the standard MS.

【HGWFM】BEGUIR-PENTE review 【HGWFM】GUNDAM AERIAL review

The head has a Western knight-like design with a white mask and a cross-shaped main sight. The light purple helmet part is a one-part model with no seams, and the main sight is covered with clear parts over a sticker.

The fuselage has parts that are similar to Begilbeu in general, such as the shell unit and waist shape, but in the kit, it was all three-dimensional with new modeling. There was a movable joint with a ball axis inside the shoulder joint, and the core part of the chest was a clear part.

The left arm is equipped with a manipulator hand, and the wrist is equipped with a short shield. Her elbow joint has a structure that makes it easy to post-saddle, common to the Witch from Mercury series.

A beam saber can be attached to the short shield. The beam saber is the same as the beam bracer, and comes with a slightly shorter type. The gray part of the beam saber attachment part is color-coded with a sticker.

The shoulder armor had a rounded shape and was finely color-coded by dividing the parts. The shell unit is covered with light purple clear parts on top of the seal attached like BEGUIR-BEU.

Close up of the right arm with the beam bracer removed. The beam bracer is attached with a shaft pin, and there is no manipulator hand, so it looks quite simple. Like the left arm, the elbow joint is a C-joint type that is easy to remove.

Detail of backpack. Compared to the BEGUIR series, the design was quite simple, and there were no gimmicks and no moving parts. The connection is a two-axis type compatible with other kits.

Like BEGUIR-BEU, there is no side armor, and the hip joint has a design that allows you to open your legs wide. The rear armor is large, and the thruster part visible on the surface is integrated with the back part. The light-emitting part of the shell unit is designed to be covered with clear parts by pasting a sticker.

Detail of legs. A structure that attaches white or purple armor to the internal frame. Shield-like plate-shaped armor is attached to the sides of both legs. Since my ankle was small and the area that touched the ground was narrow, it was a little easy to fall over.

The soles were hollowed out, and the claws that were on the BEGUIR-BEU were gone.

Close up the main weapon beam bracer equipped on the right arm. A compound weapon that looks like a tulip, combining four shield-coated plates. Equipped with beam sabers, beam cannons, beam machine guns, and anti-dote units, it is also equipped with wired injection and remote control.

Beam bracer from the front. The muzzle of the beam is sculpted so that a beam saber can be attached.

The deformation gimmick of the plate is also reproduced, and by deploying it, it can be in the beam cannon firing form or the state at the time of antidote activation.

The black line inside the plate is designed to select and paste stickers from luminous and non-luminous states. I had a hard time sticking it on because it was stuck on a deep part.

The tip of the plate is equipped with a claw, which can also be deployed.

Each arm of the plate can be moved with a C joint, and the upper plate can also swing.

Attach a beam saber to the tip of the beam bracer. The saber is a short type that came with the HGUC Gundam UC series, and this length looks just right.

The beam bracer can be fired from the right arm, and it can be displayed as if it were remotely controlled by wire using a dedicated joint and lead wire.

Action

Attack with a beam breaker. There are no other hand-held weapons and Michaelis itself doesn’t have many gimmicks, but it’s a kit that moves well and is easy to pose, so it’s fun to move.

Fires a beam bracer. The lead wire is quite long, so you can attack from various directions! ! If you buy two Michaelis and attach beam bracers to both arms, it looks like Zeong.

Attack with a beam saber. Two swords are included for the beam bracer and left arm, so you can also use it as a dual wield. An all-range attack with a beam saber is cool!

Shining Finger! !

A duel with the Earth Dormitory team, betting on “Gundam Co., Ltd.” I used Antidote to push Sletta’s aerials to a good point, but the one-man battle with Tutu Demi Trainer is still more impressive.

【HGWFM】CHUCHU’S DEMI TRAINER review

The duel is the victory of the Earth Dormitory.

That concludes my review of 【HGWFM】MICHAELIS!!

GOANZEN NI!!
