MG 1/100 RX-0 Unicorn Gundam 02 Banshee – Master Grade Plastic Model Kit
The Black Unicorn Awakens
Bring the dark counterpart to the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam to your collection with the MG 1/100 RX-0 Unicorn Gundam 02 Banshee from Bandai Spirits. Appearing in Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn, the Banshee combines deep navy armour, a gold Psycho-Frame and aggressive close-combat equipment to create one of the most distinctive designs in the Unicorn line.
At Master Grade scale, Bandai recreates the Banshee’s transformation system in full, allowing the completed model to switch between Unicorn Mode and Destroy Mode as armour sections open to expose the luminous Psycho-Frame beneath.
Transforming Master Grade Engineering
The standout feature is the complete transformation mechanism. In Unicorn Mode the Psycho-Frame remains largely concealed, while Destroy Mode expands the armour and reveals the gold-coloured internal sections throughout the body.
This version of the Banshee is equipped with its distinctive asymmetric Armed Armor loadout. The left arm carries the massive Armed Armor VN, while the right arm mounts the Armed Armor BS, both incorporating deployment gimmicks that further change the silhouette of the finished model.
Why Add the MG Banshee to Your Collection?
- Full Unicorn/Destroy Mode Transformation: Convert the completed model between both of the Banshee’s major configurations.
- Gold Psycho-Frame: Special translucent material recreates the striking Psycho-Frame visible throughout Destroy Mode.
- Armed Armor VN: The oversized claw-like left-arm weapon includes its distinctive deployment mechanism.
- Armed Armor BS: The right-arm Beam Smart Gun provides the Banshee with its unique ranged weapon system.
- Master Grade Scale: The 1/100 format gives the transformation, armour separation and internal detailing plenty of room to shine.
- Distinctive Dark Armour: Deep navy exterior armour contrasts dramatically with the gold Psycho-Frame and head details.
- Marking Options: Includes foil stickers, dry-transfer decals and Tetron-style markings for additional surface detail.
How to Build
The MG Unicorn Gundam 02 Banshee is a fairly involved Master Grade build due to the transformation mechanism and the number of moving armour panels.
A sharp pair of hobby nippers and careful nub cleanup are particularly worthwhile on the dark armour, where stress marks can be more noticeable. Panel lining and the supplied markings can add further definition, but the colour-separated armour and gold Psycho-Frame already give the kit a strong finished appearance without painting.
Bandai’s snap-fit construction means glue and painting are not normally required.
