Straight build

Just like the other units, you can remove the parts and combine them with a Core Gundam from a different kit.
Configured as Mercuone Gundam.
Action poses.
This kit is the HG Mercuone Unit released as part of the Build Divers Re:Rise series. Following the series' unique naming convention of combining a planet's order number and name in English, this time it's the 1st (one) planet in the solar system, Mercury, combined together to get the name "Mercuone." Previous kits in this format were released as complete Gundam forms, but this one is a bit unusual in that it comes as just the unit without a Core Gundam.
So you'll need to borrow a Core Gundam from one of the Veetwo, Earthree, or Marsfour Gundams to put together the Mercuone Gundam. On top of that, its own dedicated weapons aren't included either, and the manual points you toward using weapon kits to be released in the future. As a result, this review basically just covers what the Mercuone Unit consists of and what the Mercuone Gundam looks like when assembled.
The Mercuone Gundam does show off a color scheme and style that sets it apart from its predecessors, though it's honestly hard to say whether releasing it without the Core Gundam is a good or bad thing from a buyer's standpoint. Either way, this is a kit that feels more like an accessory — similar to a Build Custom — with its significance being that the Gundam lineup tied to planets 1 through 4 is gradually coming together. :-)
