Take to the skies with the Gundam AGE-2 Normal MG 1/100, Bandai Spirits’ Master Grade recreation of the iconic transformable mobile suit from Mobile Suit Gundam AGE. Piloted by Asemu Asuno, the AGE-2 Normal combines sleek fighter-inspired styling with incredible mobility, making it one of the standout designs in the Gundam AGE series.
Featuring a complete transformation into its high-speed Strider Mode, exceptional articulation and Master Grade engineering throughout, this kit offers an enjoyable build and an impressive finished display for both Gundam AGE fans and Master Grade collectors.
The Successor to the Gundam AGE-1
Developed using combat data gathered from the Gundam AGE-1, the AGE-2 Normal was designed specifically for Asemu Asuno’s fighting style. Unlike its predecessor, it focuses on speed, aerial combat and hit-and-run tactics, allowing it to engage enemies with incredible agility.
Its signature Strider Mode transforms the mobile suit into a high-speed flight configuration capable of atmospheric flight and rapid deployment, making it one of the most versatile machines seen in Mobile Suit Gundam AGE.
Complete Transformation to Strider Mode
One of the biggest highlights of this Master Grade kit is its fully engineered transformation.
Using Bandai’s advanced MG design, the AGE-2 transforms from Mobile Suit Mode into its sleek Strider Mode without requiring parts swapping. Every section has been carefully designed to ensure both forms remain solid, accurate and enjoyable to display.
The transformation includes:
- Complete Mobile Suit Mode
- Fully realised Strider Mode
- Locking transformation mechanisms
- Stable construction in both configurations
Landing gear gimmicks, created specifically for the Master Grade interpretation, further enhance the aircraft appearance and make Strider Mode particularly impressive on display.
Outstanding Master Grade Engineering
The MG AGE-2 Normal showcases the quality that has made the Master Grade line so popular.
A detailed internal frame provides excellent articulation while supporting the transformation system, allowing dynamic poses without sacrificing stability.
The armour features sharp panel lines and layered mechanical detailing that look fantastic straight out of the box and become even more impressive with panel lining, decals and weathering.
Whether posed wielding its Hyper DODS Rifle or soaring through the air in Strider Mode, the AGE-2 looks superb from every angle.
Weapons and Accessories
The Gundam AGE-2 Normal comes equipped with its standard combat loadout, including:
- Hyper DODS Rifle
- Shield
- Two Beam Sabers
- Long and short beam effect parts
- Interchangeable hands
- 1/100 scale seated Asemu Asuno pilot figure
- Marking stickers and Gundam decals
The Hyper DODS Rifle also integrates seamlessly into the Strider Mode design, becoming part of the transformed aircraft’s nose section just as it does in the anime.
Perfect for Customisation
The clean white, blue and red colour scheme makes the AGE-2 Normal an excellent kit for modellers who enjoy adding their own finishing touches.
The detailed armour is perfect for:
- Panel lining
- Water-slide decals
- Airbrushed shading
- Metallic detailing
- Weathering
- Custom colour schemes
- Display dioramas
The transformation mechanism remains robust even after detailing, making it an ideal project for builders who want both functionality and display quality.
A Fantastic Build for Master Grade Fans
Although the transformation adds an extra level of complexity, Bandai’s snap-fit engineering keeps the build enjoyable from start to finish.
The combination of a detailed inner frame, smooth transformation, excellent articulation and anime-accurate proportions makes the AGE-2 Normal one of the standout Master Grade releases from the Gundam AGE line.
Whether you’re a long-time fan of the series or discovering it for the first time, this kit offers an engaging build with an impressive finished result.
