Everything the Unicorn can carry, all at once
The RX-0 Unicorn already transforms between its restrained Unicorn Mode and the psycho-frame-lit Destroy Mode. The Full Armor Ver.Ka takes that base suit and buries it under a genuinely enormous weapons package, riding into battle mounted on the Type 94 Base Jabber. This is the flagship end of the Unicorn line, and it looks the part.
This is the December 2011 Master Grade release, one of Hajime Katoki's Ver.Ka designs.
Build difficulty
A serious Master Grade build. Snap-fit, moulded in colour, no glue or paint required, but with 38 runners and a genuinely large parts count, this is a multi-session project rather than an evening build. One detailed build log clocked around four hours just to snap the parts together before any detailing. Best suited to a builder who has finished several Master Grades already.
Technical highlights
The base Unicorn transformation carries over intact: Unicorn Mode to Destroy Mode, with the psycho-frame glow running through the armour once it opens. On top of that, the Full Armor package adds a genuinely enormous weapons load: two Beam Magnums, two Hyper Bazookas, two Triple Missile Pods, two Grenade Launchers, six Beam Gatling Guns, three Shields, four Beam Sabers and two Hyper Beam Javelins. An additional frame holds the weapons on the backpack, and the Type 94 Base Jabber can be built as a mounted display option.
What makes this kit special

-
An enormous weapons package: two Beam Magnums, two Hyper Bazookas, six Beam Gatling Guns, three Shields and more, all in one box.
-
Type 94 Base Jabber build option: the mount vehicle can be assembled for a genuine ridden display.

Dedicated backpack weapon frame: a specific structure built to carry the extra hardware rather than bolting it on awkwardly.
-
Katoki Ver.Ka design: Hajime Katoki's stylistic pass on the Full Armor concept.

What to watch for
Weight and posability are the honest trade-off here, and every build review that goes into detail says the same thing. With the full weapons package fitted, the kit is reported as extremely fragile to pose, with parts falling off during handling, and the hands use a small peg that struggles to hold the heavier weapons securely. The beam spear in particular is described as essentially unholdable in a raised pose. The beam magnum fares better and can be held without issue.
This is not a fault specific to your box. It is a structural characteristic of loading this much hardware onto the Unicorn frame, and every detailed review lands on the same conclusion: it looks genuinely impressive assembled and displayed, but it is a static display piece rather than a kit built for dynamic re-posing.
Builder tips: decide on a display pose early and set it once, rather than repeatedly repositioning the heavier weapons. Use the included backpack stand for the thruster unit rather than relying on the legs alone. If a hand peg won't hold a weapon securely, a small dab of poster putty at the grip point holds without damaging the part.
Build notes
No glue and no paint required. Nippers, a hobby knife, sanding sticks and tweezers for the smaller weapon parts. Expect six to eight hours across several sessions given the 38 runners. Recommended age 15 and over.
