Linkin Park Gundam is CRAWLING IN YOUR SKIN, etc.

Hey! Love Linkin Park? Yes? Great! This Gundam is for you, then!

Seriously, it's an officially endorsed HG-grade Gundam model themed after everyone's favorite skin-crawling punk band, whose level of celebrity profile has apparently gone to "Big In Japan". 

How did such a thing even happen, you ask? Good question! It seems the new arcade game Mobile Suit Gundam Extreme Vs. was in need of a new licensed theme (common practice for mecha mashup games), and chose "Catalyst" by Linkin Park.

The model will be included with sales of the band's full album "A Thousand Suns", and features a color scheme designed by the band itself.

What colors are those, you ask? Good question! The color scheme is...black and white. 

I guess it's appropriate? Anyway, check the gallery for a bigger picture and a priceless illustration of the band dressed up in Gundam attire.

I think its kinda coool that this is happening. Im not the biggest Linkin Park fan (theyve got a couple decent songs), im a huge GvG fan though and I think that them ,being gundam fans if i remember right,doing the theme is cool by me.

Also that gundam looks kinda bland but the shield is badass
hm. I'd like it with more colors, but this looks pretty cool, despite my general dislike for LP, the band that changes genres according to 'what's in' to sell records. I'd hardly consider them punk.
totally not punk.
lol, I thought the picture was in black and white until you stated the colors of the gundam >.>
They did it wrong. If you make a LP-based robot, you're supposed to make one based on the Reanimation cover.
I'm with Otend.
What the hell LP? Did you forget you already had a perfectly awesome gundam on one of your album covers with a much better colour scheme then just friggin' black and white?
.... FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Otend Hell yeah! I would take that over the one above any day.

The group pic is epic!!
I think LP does like Gundam http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsCD5XCu6CM&ob=av2e#t=0m7s
Cross-franchise endorsement is cool! Yes, LP is a franchise.
And it has no color scheme? Unpainted models straight from the box seriously have more color than this. Look at the legs! Gundams do not wear pants, their legs ARE pants... Of course legs on a mobile suit are for decoration; I suppose the higher-ups don't understand this.
It's pretty cool looking.
I second the "Re-ani" design though.

Relive your kitbash dreams with Gundam Breaker's trailer

I have to say, Gundam Breaker's core conceit is pretty awesome, and just goes to show how much of a cultural institution Gundam is that its own owners don't bat an eye at acknowledging the fact that most of its hyper self-se...

Gundam Breaker to get a PS3/Vita demo

Namco Bandai's upcoming PS3/Vita action game, Gundam Breaker, is looking pretty damn neat. Rather than just recycle the same Gundam formula for the nth time, the developers are mixing it up a bit. Literally. Instead of actua...
