What would happen if we upgraded the Gundam peripheral bodies that we were commonly looking for? Rather than just combat weapons, these Gundam bodies incorporate the characteristics of various creatures to create a design aesthetic that has never been seen before. Next up are the five Insect Transformation Gundams designed by Kuramochi, which are the Grasshopper Gundam, the Unicorn Fairy Gundam, the Stag Beetle Gundam, the Scorpion Gundam, and the Mantis Gundam.
The first is the Grasshopper Gundam, which is inspired by grasshoppers in nature. Its overall shape presents a light and vigorous feeling, as if it is a jumping ready to attack. In its deformed state, Gundam Grasshopper's body is streamlined, indistinguishable from a real grasshopper. In its humanoid state, its legs become unusually strong, allowing it to support its entire body for high-speed movement. In addition, the Grasshopper Gundam's head has a unique design that is similar to that of the Kamen Rider 01 Locust, making this mech even more eye-catching on the battlefield.
The second is the Unicorn Gundam, which is inspired by insects like the Unicorn. The Unicorn Fairy is a beetle with a unique head horn, and the Unicorn Gundam perfectly incorporates this trait into the design. In its humanoid state, the Unicorn Gundam has a giant beetle horn on its head, which not only increases the attack power of the body, but also makes the overall shape more unique. In its transformed state, the body of the Unicorn Gundam becomes extremely hard, and like a real beetle, it can resist enemy attacks on the battlefield.
The third is the Stag Beetle Gundam, which is inspired by the design of the Stag Beetle. The stag beetle is an insect with powerful pincers on its head, and the Stag Beetle Gundam takes this trait to the extreme. In its humanoid state, the head of the Stag Beetle Gundam transforms into a pair of giant pincers that can grip and destroy enemy mechs. In its transformed state, the Stag Beetle Gundam's body is streamlined, allowing it to quickly shuttle around the battlefield and surprise enemies.
The fourth is the Scorpion Gundam, which is inspired by the design of the Scorpion. The Scorpion is an insect with a powerful stinger, and the Scorpion Gundam perfectly incorporates this trait into the design. In its humanoid state, the Scorpion Gundam has a giant stinger on its tail that can deliver a fatal blow to enemies. In its transformed state, the Scorpion Gundam's body becomes extremely flexible, allowing it to quickly shuttle around the battlefield and surprise enemies. In addition, the Scorpion Gundam's head has a unique design that gives it a mysterious and dangerous feel, making this mech even more eye-catching on the battlefield.
The fifth is the Mantis Gundam, which is inspired by the design of the Mantis. The praying mantis is an insect with powerful arms, and the Praying Mantis Gundam takes this trait to the extreme. In its humanoid form, the Mantis Gundam's arms have become extremely strong and can swing a huge twin blade to attack. In its transformed state, the Mantis Gundam's body is streamlined, allowing it to quickly shuttle around the battlefield and surprise enemies. In addition, the overall shape of the Mantis Gundam is handsome and powerful, making it a beautiful sight to behold on the battlefield.
Each of these five Gundam units with insect transformation designs has its own unique charm, whether it is the lightness and vigor of the Grasshopper Gundam, the hard defense of the Unicorn Fairy Gundam, or the powerful flanking attack of the Stag Beetle Gundam. The Scorpion Gundam and Mantis Gundam are based on stingers and twin knives respectively, bringing more variables to the battlefield.
Of course, this is just a part of the five Gundam units designed by insect transformations, and there are many more insect shapes waiting to be explored and designed in the future. Perhaps, we can see a butterfly Gundam dancing in the air, or an ant Gundam leading many younger brothers to charge. No matter what kind of insect shape the Gundam is designed, it will bring us endless surprises and expectations.
These five insect transformers not only show the unique charm of the Gundam body, but also bring us more room for imagination. In the future, let's look forward to more insect-shaped Gundam mechs appearing in our field of vision!
