HG Seed #19 ZGMF-X24S Chaos Gundam

The Chaos Gundam is one of ZAFT’s Second Stage Series Mobile Suits developed after the Bloody Valentine War. The Chaos Gundam is a transformable Mobile Suit specialized for high-speed space combat. The unit’s gigantic thrusters allow the Chaos Gundam to fly in-atmosphere at almost no cost to performance. Additionally, the unit’s Mobile Armor Mode granted even more mobility without compromising the Chaos Gundam’s weapon usage. The Phantom Pain, an organization within the Earth Alliance, stole the Chaos Gundam alongside the Gaia Gundam and Abyss Gundam from ZAFT after being completed. The Chaos Gundam fought against ZAFT and various other factions before its destruction in an engagement with the Archangel Assault Ship and its Mobile Suit forces.

Here’s what Bandai included alongside this classic HG Chaos Gundam for accessories:

• MA-BAR721 High-Energy Beam Rifle
• MMI-RG30 Cruising Mobile Shield

Articulation –

Bandai first released this HG Chaos Gundam model kit way back in 2004, so be sure to check out this blast-from-the-past build if you’re looking for a satisfying, nostalgic model kit. Thanks to the simplistic design of the Chaos Gundam, only 141 pieces are needed to create this fully articulated model! Bandai managed to give this rendition of the Chaos Gundam an almost complete transformation (you will need to remove the head to transform into Mobile Armor Mode properly). While in Mobile Armor Mode, the Chaos Gundam’s claws feature multiple articulation points for some awesome grappling action!

Weapons and Other Notable Attributes –

The Chaos Gundam’s primary armament is a pair of EQFU-5X Mobile Weapon Pods docked on the unit’s backpack. These weapons both feature a Beam Assault Cannon and twelve Firefly Guided Missiles. The Chaos Gundam can use these armaments while still attached to the Mobile Suit but are most effective when separated and used wirelessly thanks to the advanced DRAGOON System built into the Mobile Suit. Deploy the Beam Assault Cannon by pushing in the thruster bell at the back of the Weapon Pod. The transformation into Mobile Armor Mode does not compromise the Chaos Gundam’s manipulators, giving the Gundam access to its Beam Rifle and Shield in both modes!
