And when we all thought Sunrise couldn’t get more Gundams out there. Well, given the slow phase at which Gundam Unicorn OVA’s are appearing, its hard to think when they had time to work at another Gundam project, called, like the title says, Mobile Suit Gundam Gunpla Builders Beginning G!

█ Commemorating 30 years of Gundam, Sunrise released a new animation video which shows in action every major Gundam model from 1979 to present. See if you can identify the models.
