Piloted by Quattro Bajeena (Char Aznable in disguise), the Hyaku-Shiki is known for its distinctive gold-colored armor and exceptional performance in combat. This High Grade model kit faithfully replicates the sleek design and unique color scheme of the Hyaku-Shiki, offering an exciting and highly detailed build for fans of Zeta Gundam and Gunpla enthusiasts.

Story & Background: The MSN-00100 Hyaku-Shiki is a prototype mobile suit developed by Anaheim Electronics for the AEUG during the Gryps Conflict. Originally intended to use the transformable mobile suit technology, the Hyaku-Shiki was instead built as a non-transforming unit. Its gold-colored anti-beam coating gives it a distinct advantage in battle, allowing it to deflect beam attacks. Piloted by Quattro Bajeena, the Hyaku-Shiki played a crucial role in many battles against the Titans during the events of Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam. Its high mobility, firepower, and durable armor make it one of the most memorable mobile suits in the series.

Key Features:

• Shiny Gold Armor: The Hyaku-Shiki is famous for its gold-colored armor, which provides not only aesthetic appeal but also practical protection against beam attacks due to its anti-beam coating. The model kit faithfully replicates this striking gold finish, making it one of the most visually stunning mobile suits in any Gunpla collection.
• Beam Rifle: The Hyaku-Shiki is equipped with a Beam Rifle for mid-range combat, offering precise and powerful shots. The model kit includes the rifle, allowing builders to pose the Hyaku-Shiki in dynamic firing positions.
• Clay Bazooka: In addition to the Beam Rifle, the Hyaku-Shiki is armed with a Clay Bazooka, giving it powerful long-range firepower. The bazooka can be mounted on the mobile suit's back or posed in hand for combat-ready displays.
• Beam Sabers: For close-quarters combat, the Hyaku-Shiki is equipped with Beam Sabers stored in its backpack. The kit includes translucent pink effect parts to simulate the glowing beam blades, allowing for action-packed melee combat poses.
• Backpack and Boosters: The backpack thrusters give the Hyaku-Shiki exceptional mobility, allowing it to perform high-speed maneuvers in space and on Earth. The backpack and booster system is faithfully recreated, with articulated thrusters that can be posed in various positions to enhance display options.
• Articulation for Dynamic Posing: The HGUC Hyaku-Shiki features advanced articulation in its limbs, head, and torso, allowing for a wide range of action poses. Whether wielding its Beam Sabers in close combat or taking aim with its Beam Rifle, the model’s articulation ensures dynamic and expressive displays.
• Color Separation and Markings: The model kit offers excellent color separation, with the Hyaku-Shiki’s iconic gold, red, and blue color scheme faithfully recreated straight out of the box. Stickers are included for additional detailing, such as AEUG insignias, mechanical markings, and Quattro’s personal insignia, giving the mobile suit a polished and authentic look.
• Stable Build & Balanced Design: Despite its large backpack and heavy armament, the Hyaku-Shiki is well-balanced and capable of holding a variety of poses without losing stability. The model’s sturdy construction ensures that it remains secure in both action-packed poses and neutral display setups.
• Snap-Fit Assembly: The HGUC Hyaku-Shiki is designed for easy snap-fit assembly, making it accessible to both beginner and experienced builders. The clear, step-by-step instructions ensure a smooth and enjoyable building process without the need for glue or painting.

Customization and Display Options: Builders can customize the Hyaku-Shiki with its Beam Rifle, Clay Bazooka, and Beam Sabers, allowing for a wide range of display options. The mobile suit’s dynamic articulation and sleek gold armor make it perfect for recreating intense battle scenes from Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam or displaying it as a standout piece in any Gunpla collection.
