Overview
#61The HGUC 1/144 MSA-005 Methuss recreates the transformable prototype mobile suit from Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam. Developed by Anaheim Electronics for the AEUG, the Methuss features a distinctive yellow color scheme, lightweight frame, and transformable design that allows it to switch between Mobile Suit and Mobile Armor modes. The kit faithfully captures the machine's unique silhouette while incorporating modern HGUC engineering and articulation.
A key feature of the kit is its ability to transform into Mobile Armor mode through a parts-swapping mechanism. The model includes arm-mounted beam guns, beam sabers, and a connector part that can recreate scenes involving the Hyaku Shiki and Mega Bazooka Launcher. Its transformable gimmick, unique design, and important role in Zeta Gundam make it a standout addition to any Universal Century collection.
