For Gunpla builders, the sky's the limit. From custom paint jobs and weathering to full-on kitbashing, there are endless ways to make a mobile suit your own.
But one Japanese Gunpla YouTube channel, None Channel【プラモデル製作係】, just took it to a whole new level. They took six random Gunpla kits from a "lucky bag" and fused them into a massive, original mecha. The video of the build process blew up on YouTube, leaving viewers stunned by its monstrous, "un-Gundam-like" aesthetic. The clip has already soared past 100,000 views, earning praise for its wild creativity.
The video comes from "None Channel【プラモデル製作係】," a channel dedicated to Gunpla and diorama creation that previously went viral for building a "1 Million Yen Gunpla Remodeling Room."
This time, the creator decided to pour their 10 years of Gunpla experience into one epic challenge: combining all six kits from a lucky bag into a single, super-sized original mobile suit.
The kits sacrificed for this ambitious project include:
HG Gundam Lfrith from Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury
HG Gyan Strom (Agnes Giebenrath Custom) from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED FREEDOM
HGCE Rising Freedom Gundam and HGCE Immortal Justice Gundam from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED FREEDOM
RG Wing Gundam Zero EW from New Mobile Report Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz
MG ν Gundam "Ver.Ka" from Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack
The goal was to create a monstrous machine that "looked nothing like a Gundam."
The build started with a custom frame, since the original parts alone wouldn't support the final weight. The creator used plastic rods and joints, along with other small modification parts, to build the skeleton.
With no clear plan, the first step was to create a basic frame using thick square plastic rods and joints. The legs were given a reverse-joint design, immediately setting a silhouette far removed from any traditional Gundam.
With a wealth of parts to choose from, the builder tackled the most important feature first: the head.
The backpack from the HG Gundam Lfrith was attached to the frame, and other parts from the same kit were used to construct the head, resulting in a surprisingly mechanical look. Devoid of any human-like features, it gives off a cold, inorganic vibe. The lower legs of the HG Gyan Strom and the rear skirt armor of the MG ν Gundam "Ver.Ka" were also cleverly integrated, with unexpectedly awesome results.
The original plan was to attach the MG ν Gundam's arm frames directly to the body, but they looked too spindly. The solution? Swap them out entirely for the ν Gundam's beefier leg frames to add more bulk.
Next up were the legs. Using adhesive putty to temporarily hold parts in place, the builder assembled a pair of remarkably slender limbs.
Meanwhile, the ν Gundam's arms weren't used as arms at all. Instead, their joints were bent and repurposed into shoulder sections. The Lfrith's leg parts became the upper arms, while the base of the Wing Zero's backpack formed the forearms. Like the legs, they feature a multi-jointed design, and in a radical departure from Gundam logic, they have no hands.
The front skirt armor-like section between the legs was sourced from the Rising Freedom Gundam's backpack, while parts from the Gundam Lfrith filled the gaps on the waist. With that, the main body's general silhouette was finally complete.
With the body done, it was time for the extras: weapons, a shield, a backpack, sub-arms, and a tail blade were all added. The exposed frame and gaps were then reinforced and filled in with more detailed parts.
After disassembly and cleaning, the painting phase began. The creator chose purple, a rare main color for a Gundam-style mecha. Waterslide decals were applied, weathering was added to simulate battle damage, and even the display base was custom-made. The final six-kit fusion was dubbed "G-Hexas," a name derived from "Hex = 6."
Hexagonal elements were incorporated throughout the mecha, successfully achieving the initial goal of a "non-Gundam mechanical feel." The single sub-arm, in particular, pushes the alien design to the extreme.
The final build is about twice the height of a standard HG kit. Just look how tiny the HG RX-78-2 Gundam is next to it. Even when compared to an MG-scale Gunpla, the sheer size of this custom creation is impressive.
The weaponry is just as unique, kitbashed from every usable part from the six kits and finished with heavy battle-damage effects.
With all the armaments attached, its presence is even more intimidating!
But it wasn't over yet. The remaining leftover parts were combined to create a massive rifle, which was mounted on the back as a super-cannon.
Once mounted on its custom base with the "G-Hexas" nameplate, the masterpiece was officially complete!

Fans went wild over the six-in-one original mecha, flooding the comments: "The monster vibe is off the charts, I love it," "Fusing six kits like this is just insane," and "Can you really make this out of just six Gundams?" Another commented, "Even though the body is slender, the weapons give it an incredible sense of balance."
Many viewers also immediately drew comparisons to the Armored Core series: "This has major Armored Core vibes," "It looks more like an AC than a Gundam," and "That heavy, hardcore mechanical aesthetic is just perfect."
