So, it actually is became another Gundam?

Comment by K' September 17, 2010 @ 1:01 pm

Is this real?? If it is it actually went beyond what I expected which is pretty awesome! Even if it isn’t a legit design, its still awesome nonetheless

Comment by Juno-Uno September 17, 2010 @ 1:25 pm

O_o seriously?! Cause it doesn’t look too real to me…

Comment by JustPassingThru September 17, 2010 @ 1:30 pm

Looks awesome indeed!

Comment by Jynx September 17, 2010 @ 2:05 pm

Looks like fan art to me. The body doesn’t look like what’s in the backpack to me

Comment by da_guy September 17, 2010 @ 2:43 pm

Looks pretty legit to me. And if this true then Yanase is a whole new level of a designer, because he knew that many fans will came up with a prediction and thus he tricks everyone to think that it’ll be just another Virtue looking MS while came out with something fully different

Ike, Gundam Funnel!!!

Comment by Yatsu From Before September 17, 2010 @ 4:04 pm

still looks like a fan art to me, but this one’s pretty well executed though. can’t keep myself from hoping that this one’s real.

well, we still have a day before our friends in japan confirms if this is indeed the real deal.

btw, i heard some rumors that this one’s going to be called Gabriel.

Comment by flamerounin September 17, 2010 @ 5:45 pm

love the right arm

Comment by shadowdragokill September 17, 2010 @ 5:49 pm

btw, where did the head come from??
It’s very different with the raphael’s head or its the backpack or its raphael suited with the armor or another msv???

Comment by m4jin September 17, 2010 @ 7:22 pm

wow super kantot… Omg that is awesome man… cant wait to have it as a kit… kantot

Comment by Kantutan September 17, 2010 @ 7:30 pm

if this is real this is pretty sick

Comment by chi September 17, 2010 @ 7:38 pm

Seraveee!!

Comment by iron2000 September 17, 2010 @ 7:44 pm

Uh, was I the only one who thought that Raphael’s second mode will have the backpack attaching itself to its whole body? This seems to be so from the image.

Comment by KamenRiderShinzo September 17, 2010 @ 8:05 pm

doesn’t seem to correspond with the actual backpack

Comment by FAT ROBOT September 17, 2010 @ 8:12 pm

Are they by the same artist? The reason it doesn’t match is likely because the lineart is by two different people

Comment by Kaizer Soze September 17, 2010 @ 8:37 pm

Alright, semi-confirmed, then:
1 Gundam here, 3 modes-
Raph as the 1st, Seravee as 2nd- through
re-combination; Seraphim!Reborn-mix as 3rd
(re-re-combination). Just linking all 3 sets
of spoiler pics there.. (in case u wonder,
the dark gray non-transformable backpack is
for the 2nd mode’s guess). So that means,
Bandai is asking for us to pay 2times again,
only 2100 each (approx.).

Comment by gill at srw September 17, 2010 @ 9:39 pm

The details on the left hand lead me to believe that this is a very well-crafted fan art. I like the idea, which I’m supposing is that the backpack folds over the Raphael’s body and acts as additional armor. Nevertheless, I STILL sercretly hope that the oversized aspects of each of Celestial Being’s MS mean that we’re in store for the first ever gattai Gundam…

Comment by ArkeotheHedgehog September 17, 2010 @ 9:40 pm

hey, isn’t there any preview of hg raphael gundam yet? that one’s supposed to be released five days from now, so they should be showing up. maybe we can see the details of the backpack there.

Comment by flamerounin September 17, 2010 @ 9:47 pm

Well with the above link, I’d say the Backpack suit is a reality not a fan art…..With that being said I’d have to say that this suit has a sudo-twin drive system that is utilized to power an enhanced version of the trial field.

Comment by Shugo September 17, 2010 @ 10:45 pm

i believe that fan art…. the head seems too small
compare to the preview of the raph gundam kit
(which has a virtue gundam looking head)
if the right arm is like that
shouldnt the left arm be the same
cos the backpack is symmetrical

Comment by Ereos September 17, 2010 @ 11:31 pm

well this is proven true with an early review of HG Raphael Gundam

Comment by DeadlySyn September 17, 2010 @ 11:36 pm

Definitely fanart. Check the pictures of the HG Raphael’s backpack in guNjap’s link, this image looks nothing like the backpack.

The image looks more like someone took Seraphim’s designs and added a few bits from the backpack onto it.

Comment by Anonymous September 17, 2010 @ 11:36 pm

I wish they had drawn a step-by-step transformation like that ‘Virtue Armor’ image that was going around, I have a hard time seeing how this is supposed to even work.

Unless one of the detachable arms on the backpack becomes the right arm of the Gundam, and the other splits up to make the skinny legs and armor for the left arm.

Comment by Anonymous September 17, 2010 @ 11:46 pm

wish i’m in japan so i can watch the movie later

Comment by XX September 18, 2010 @ 12:05 am

You can be in Singapore too, if you want to watch the movie later. 🙂

Comment by iron2000 September 18, 2010 @ 12:19 am

iron2000, u watching the movie in Singapore too? I’ll be watching it on Saturday.

Comment by bt September 18, 2010 @ 1:42 am

How the backpack transforms is as follows (from what I’ve figured out).
1.) Backpack detaches from Main body and GN claws detach from backpack
2.) Skirt armor and GN claw attachment points extend and fold to become legs and waist.
3.) Beam cannons extend to form arms, head raises up, front panel opens up to reveal purple circle thingy.
4.) Torso and arms fold to connect to waist.
5.) GN claws attach to backpack gundam’s arms.

Comment by Shugo September 18, 2010 @ 1:52 am

*3.) barrel of beam cannons detach and become hand held cannons similar to GN bazooka from Servee.

Comment by Shugo September 18, 2010 @ 1:53 am

more like seraphim with upgrade

Comment by epsilon_013 September 18, 2010 @ 1:58 am

i wont lose faith on ‘that’ hidden MS form- it works better than this ‘seravee;’ besides, if every single one of the movie MS is a pair up between the protagonist and antagonist design, then a Gaddeath pair up with Seravee will naturally yields a ‘double’ on Seravee’s side.

Comment by gill at srw September 18, 2010 @ 2:31 am

ok guys, its have been answered by our fellow ngeekhiong dude^^, thank u for the review for seravee ^^. Check this out to explain bout the secret of teh backpack.

Comment by m4jin September 18, 2010 @ 5:41 am

looks like my prediction of Raphael getting an “armor up” version maybe indeed true… XD judging by the HG pics…

Comment by JustPassingThru September 18, 2010 @ 6:14 am

upss, sorry miss name of teh gundam. I mean raphael
=P

Comment by m4jin September 18, 2010 @ 6:23 am

Ít’s not an armour. For Christ’s sake, it’s got an entire body and a head for a reason.

Comment by Amon September 18, 2010 @ 6:29 am

also, it doesn’t look like the hg kit is transformable, but i could be wrong judging by this pic… Look at the feet in panel 18(1)

Comment by JustPassingThru September 18, 2010 @ 6:29 am

nah, off course it could be transforming, as tradition tieera gundam always made by 2 ver. 1st always cant transform for the other ms he brought aside his gundam(like seravee back pack on previous 1/144 scale), 2nd only the back pack that can transform and could be an add on unit for the 1 st. So infact Bandai try more to get money from us ^^

Comment by m4jin September 18, 2010 @ 6:40 am

oh, well. they might as well let the cat out of the bag. the head looks more like a simplified version of seravee’s though.

one thing’s for sure, we’re going to shell out extra cash for the actual kit of the mystery MS.

Comment by flamerounin September 18, 2010 @ 9:11 am

@bt: Actually I’ve already watched the movie.

Comment by iron2000 September 18, 2010 @ 9:58 am

@iron2000: Wow, awesome, u were invited to watch and got freebies. And thanks for the short comments for the movie, definitely raised my anticipation for it tonight.

Comment by bt September 18, 2010 @ 10:30 am

REMINDER, there is a head of raphael gundam’s backpack. they said its seravee gundam

Comment by setsuna15 September 18, 2010 @ 12:28 pm

WTF!!! i don’t know what to believe anymore… The only thing that i know is that this MS will be called Gabriel, or Jibri/Jiburi (Gabriel in hebrew), one of God’s angels. The most plausible transformation that i can believe is this:

Comment by lancelotconquista September 18, 2010 @ 1:41 pm

I find it hilarious that they have this flap at the back just to hide its head from everyone in most views except from the bottom up.

Comment by da_guy September 18, 2010 @ 3:54 pm

the “interesting” of this new ms is the process of making ppl having wild guess at its true form. imo is very meh after the true form is revealed. gundam virtue was wow for me, then meh for seravee. this one i don’t even want to see.

Comment by oohater September 18, 2010 @ 4:22 pm

I think this is legit because I checked Raphael’s backpack unit. If you check the crotch part it’s there right above Raphael’s head, then there’s the right arm which has a GN Driver.

Comment by ZarkZeraphyZerker September 18, 2010 @ 6:44 pm

People here don’t read what others posted before commenting.
To be clear, Raph is a stand-alone, no trasnform.
The heels’ just ‘flight-mode.’
We’ll see what this ‘Seravee/ Gab’ thing will be when scans come out.
Even after the spoiler, much is still needed to be seen. Okee?

Comment by guNjap September 18, 2010 @ 8:06 pm

Thanks guNjap! Man, I really love that Raphael Gundam’s backpack is Seravee Gundam!

Comment by KamenRiderShinzo September 18, 2010 @ 11:15 pm

Or Gabriel Gundam, whatever it’s really called.

Comment by KamenRiderShinzo September 18, 2010 @ 11:16 pm

@KamenRiderShinzo

i thought it will too

Comment by Shishca September 19, 2010 @ 1:42 am

so it seems that the most probable transformation is indeed the first concept shown way back after all.

Comment by flamerounin September 19, 2010 @ 8:35 am

Wow, this guy has 3 GN Drive tau!!

Comment by yamu September 21, 2010 @ 11:42 am

Just watched the movie.

Shocking….just shocking

Comment by mlmonster September 21, 2010 @ 5:20 pm

Good shock, bad shock, or downright Ugly Shock? No spoilers please 🙂

Comment by guarayakha September 21, 2010 @ 7:28 pm

Overall I can say its a great movie. Battle scenes were amazing and speedy.

Every appearing MS had their own awesome scenes.

Although I was abit upset with how certain characters were poorly used. There were also some mystery that is never explained.

As a Gundam fan, there is some resistance to certain new elements included in the movie, but it is a great ending for the 00 story.

Comment by mlmonster September 21, 2010 @ 9:30 pm

what elements are you resisting? most probably the aliens. must admit i’m a bit off with that one, since it’s gundam. but it kinda grew on me later on.

Comment by flamerounin September 22, 2010 @ 6:50 pm

FAKE !!!!!!!

Comment by Shura September 23, 2010 @ 8:52 am
