I've Been Skeptical About Bandai Namco's Upcoming Gundam Game—But Then I Saw This Model Kit's Chainsaw Macuahuitl

Bandai announced the HG 1/144 Bau Bahlam model kit at the 2026 All Japan Model & Hobby Show, a mobile suit from the upcoming game Gundam Rogue Orbit. The mono-eye suit features a chainsaw macuahuitl and spiked knuckle plates, and the kit includes a mock pull-cord for posing. Gundam Rogue Orbit launches on Steam on March 4, 2027, while the model kit is expected sometime in 2027.
