GUNDAM FRAME
(CLICK THE PICTURES TO ENLARGE)
Specification
Model Number ASW-G series Gundam Frame
Overall Height 18 m
Base Weight ???
Power Source 2 x Ahab Reactor
A Mobile Suit frame produced around 300 years ago during the late stages of the Calamity War by Gjallarhorn. Mobile Suits using this frame played a major role in the war and were also said to have been involved in several flashpoints throughout history that led to important outcomes for humanity. These machines were each given a name of one of the demons of the Ars Goetia.
The Gundam Frame is able to achieve high levels of energy output by using two Ahab Reactors. In fact, the energy output from the two reactors is in excess of which is needed to power the Mobile Suit. The purpose of this excessive output is to ensure a burst of power during the few opportunities available to land a clean hit on the Mobile Armors, the main enemies during the Calamity War. To maximize these opportunities to deal a lethal blow, the amount of energy instantaneously transferred to the Mobile Suit's weapon must be as large as possible.
However, because it is difficult to run the two reactors in parallel, only 72 units of these Gundam Frames were ever produced. In addition, the Alaya-Vijnana System is needed in order to make use of the full potential of the twin Ahab Reactor output. For this reason, the Gundam Frames were made to be humanoid as to deepen the link between the Alaya-Vijnana System and the pilot's own senses.

This frame I build is not 100% accurate to the original Gundam Barbatos frame, I make this frame for future project purpose, planning of making different Gundams in IBO series. (which is some of the rest of the Gundams in IBO series) Some of the joints are not working well on this frame, due to the design flaw from the original, even the 1/100 Hi-Res Gundam Frame can't make it perfect.
Several un-render picture of the Gundam Frame.
Front.
Side view of the frame.
Rear.
Dorsal view.

Still image of the Gundam Frame.
The Gundam Frame from scale 1/100 model kit.
Back. The back of the frame look muscular to me, it's kind of interesting to see.
Close shot of the head unit. Barbato's frame should be the most basic frame in the series, I make the head look as close as possible to the Barbatos one.
Not many things happen on the back of the head, I simply leave it empty of details.
I realize I forgot to do the waist armor connecting piece on the top of crotch piece, will be replacing the piece in later project.
The rear of the back, those pipes looks almost like a muscle, very cool. The back armor will be removed in other modeling builds, that armor piece is special for Gundam Barbatos.
The forearm of the Barbatos is really an odd piece to model out, the original design is very confusing to me, so I altered the design.
The lower legs of the frame.
The back of the legs.
Dorsal view of the frame.
Side to side comparing with RGM-79 (C). Height of Barbatos is 18 meters tall, RGM-79 (C) height is also 18 meter too.
The running pose is not really a problem for this frame.
The forearm is a bit too long.
The side of the pose.
The only problem on this design is, the piston doesn't really work, as the elbow joint fully fold, the piston is impossible to fully extend, this applies to some of the pistons on the frame, it just doesn't work. I will try to fix this in later Gundam design, think of abandon this piston thing.
This is the frame holding a katana.
Looking good on holding the katana.
back.
Samurai Roboto!
That's all!!
