The HG 1/144 Atlas Gundam (GUNDAM THUNDERBOLT Ver.) brings the powerful protagonist mobile suit from the second season of Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt to Bandai's High Grade lineup.
The Atlas Gundam is one of the most visually unconventional Gundam designs in the Thunderbolt universe. Rather than relying on the traditional proportions of a classic Gundam, its design incorporates rounded armor, exposed mechanical joints, large spherical components, and the distinctive Sub-Leg system mounted behind the mobile suit.
Bandai carefully reproduces this unusual silhouette in 1/144 scale while providing an impressive range of articulation. The spherical joints allow the shoulders, arms, legs, and other sections of the mobile suit to move naturally, making it possible to recreate the dynamic poses associated with the Atlas Gundam.
The Sub-Legs are one of the main highlights of this kit. These large backpack-mounted units are independently articulated and can be positioned into multiple configurations. Their flexible movement greatly expands the posing possibilities and gives the completed model its unmistakable Atlas Gundam silhouette.
The kit also reproduces the Beam Saber storage gimmick in the shoulders, allowing the sabers to be stored in their dedicated locations when not in use. This adds both mechanical realism and additional functionality to the model.
The Atlas Gundam is designed primarily for ground combat, and Bandai includes a selection of weapons that allow builders to recreate its full ground-combat configuration. The weapons can be displayed together with the Sub-Legs to create aggressive and highly dynamic poses.
Color separation is handled through molded plastic parts and included stickers, allowing the characteristic blue, yellow, white, and gray color scheme to be recreated with minimal painting. Additional marking stickers provide unit and personal markings for a more detailed finished appearance.
With its unique design, extensive articulation, flexible Sub-Legs, distinctive weapons, and detailed Thunderbolt aesthetics, the HG Atlas Gundam is an excellent choice for both Gundam Thunderbolt fans and collectors looking for something different from traditional Gundam designs.
