Together with the 1/144 MSV GM Cannon from 1983.
After 32 years, it skipped right past HG and came out as a proper MG — nice!

This kit is the MG GM Cannon, released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It's the first time it's been released in 1/100 scale in 32 years, since the MSV 1/144 back in 1983. Since it's based on the MG GM 2.0, the overall result is a solid, well-executed kit.

The newly tooled parts specific to the GM Cannon — the 240mm cannon, head, chest, skirts, backpack, and leg armor — all faithfully recreate the beam cannon's design. And since it's built on the GM 2.0 foundation, it delivers top-notch frame construction, articulation, and joint strength. You can pull off a wide variety of dynamic poses with ease, including a kneeling position.

The new 240mm cannon features a detachable magazine, and the spare one can be mounted on the rear skirt. The MG GM 2.0's spray gun, shield, and bazooka are all included as well. All in all, this is a clean, well-done GM Cannon kit with nothing to complain about — if you're an MSV fan or just love the look of it, this one comes highly recommended. :-)
