The receiver triple missile launcher that mounts on the forearm can also be swapped out for the standard Gelgoog forearm parts.

Leftover parts are surprisingly few.

Together with the MG Gelgoog Cannon (MSV color) released through Club G.

This kit is the MG Uma Lightning's Custom High Mobility Type Gelgoog, released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. Based on the standard retail MG Gelgoog v2.0, it features a large number of newly sculpted parts. The combination of light sky blue and white gives it a color scheme that feels quite un-Zeon-like.

Starting with the main body, the head, legs, and foot covers have all been redesigned, and tanks and thrusters have been added to the back of the calves. On top of the new high-mobility backpack, newly sculpted weapons include a missile launcher, a receiver triple missile launcher, and a new beam rifle. A folding bipod has also been added to the underside of the existing beam rifle — all in all, there are far more new sculpted parts than you'd expect. Since the body is based on the MG Gelgoog 2.0, it still delivers a solid frame and excellent joint strength.

That said, even being a 2.0 version, the leg articulation is still a bit lacking — very much in true Gelgoog fashion — so really dynamic poses are tough to pull off. The newly added large missile launcher is also quite big and heavy to actually hold in the hand, making it tricky to get a good angle. There are a few disappointments like these, but the combination of its large frame, new sculpting, and generous weapons loadout gives the overall kit a really premium feel.

With all those new runners added, this has turned out to be a pretty unique MG "High Mobility Type" Gelgoog 2.0. If you're a fan of Zeon mobile suits, this seems like a Club G kit you really wouldn't want to miss. :-)
