Bandai 1/100 MG Gundam AGE-2 Normal
The Gundam AGE-2 Normal is Asemu Asuno's mobile suit in Mobile Suit Gundam AGE — the second-generation AGE System Gundam, designed around a fully transformable frame that converts into the Strider high-speed flight mode without any parts swapping. The MG release captures that transformation cleanly, which is the standout engineering achievement here: most transforming MG kits require part swaps, but the AGE-2 Normal genuinely converts in-frame.
If you collect Master Grade kits, the AGE-2 Normal sits in the same display family as the AGE-1 Normal and gives you a fundamentally different silhouette — the slim aerial-attack Gundam to AGE-1's brawler.
This kit is designed for intermediate-to-advanced builders and uses snap-fit assembly with full inner-frame construction.
The AGE-2 Normal carries the full advanced inner frame with the Strider transformation system engineered into the central spine, hip, and wing units. Switching between mobile suit mode and Strider flight mode is handled entirely through articulation — no parts come off. The kit includes the standard AGE-2 weapons (Beam Rifle, beam saber, shield) and the extra hand parts needed for the various combat poses. Colour separation handles the white, blue, red, and grey scheme through the runners with marking stickers included.

What to Watch For
The transformation mechanism is precise and works smoothly when assembled correctly, but parts can stiffen if forced during the first conversion attempt. Follow the manual carefully through the first transformation, working slowly through each step. The wing units are the most fragile part of the transformation — avoid putting weight on them during conversion.
Builder Tips: Panel lining the inner frame and the visible mechanical detail through the armour gaps brings the AGE-2 to life. Black panel lining works across the white and blue. Don't skip the transformation rehearsal during the build — understanding how each joint moves while you're constructing the frame makes the conversion sequence much smoother later.
Build Notes
Snap-fit assembly. No glue required. Sharp nippers and a hobby knife are recommended. Expect a 6-8 hour build. Action Base sold separately and genuinely required for Strider flight mode display. Recommended age 15+.
