Gunpla Custom Build : MG 1/100 Gundam Astraea Type-S Full Armed by @strike_sonic

The MG 1/100 Gundam Astraea Type-S Full Armed, masterfully customized by the Gunpla builder @strike_sonic, stands as an exemplary model of unique modification and intricate detailing.

The Gundam Astraea Type-S Full Armed is a heavily customized build based on the Gundam Astraea Type‑S. The project follows a simple concept: overwhelming power and equipment, prioritizing visual impact rather than strict adherence to official settings.

The build was created for a one-on-one Gunpla challenge. Since the opposing entry focused on a highly detailed style, this project took the opposite direction by emphasizing heavy equipment and bold kitbashing. Multiple parts were combined freely, resulting in a dense and aggressive silhouette.

Although the design ignores strict lore accuracy, the builder mainly used components from the same Gundam 00 series to maintain a cohesive appearance.

The leg armor combines elements from GN Arms, the Avalanche Dash Unit, and GN Sub‑Leg Unit (Qan[T] Transporter / Kutan Type III).

This arrangement was designed with inspiration from the GN vernier units of Gundam Harute, creating a form optimized for high-speed cruising.

One of the most unconventional features is the Triple Drive system. This element intentionally ignores the official setting but was included because the silhouette resembles the iconic design of the 00 Gundam. It also allows the integration of parts from the 0 Raiser when the unit is in its full-armed configuration.

The Astraea Type-S base form incorporates several mixing elements:

Antenna and leg parts combined with components from the 00 Gundam
A redesigned left arm inspired by a prototype version of the GN Sword III
Custom color scheme based on Pearl Mars Dark Blue mixed with additional blue tones to create a unique finish

By prioritizing power, scale, and creative kitbashing, this Astraea Type-S variant delivers a bold reinterpretation of the Gundam 00 design language. The combination of heavy equipment, experimental drive systems, and high-speed mobility elements results in a visually intense and highly personalized Gunpla build.
