The NG 1/100 ZGMF-X24S Chaos Gundam is a Bandai Gunpla from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny. Piloted by Sting Oakley, this transformable unit is distinguished by its green and dark gray armor, two imposing Mobile Weapon Pods, and its ability to adopt a Mobile Armor configuration.
Officially marketed as a simple 1/100 model, this kit belongs to the generation now commonly referred to as "NG" or "No Grade." It is therefore not a Master Grade, but a large model offering complete transformation, good color separation, and several functional features.
The main characteristic of the Chaos Gundam is its transformation into a Mobile Armor without part replacement. The head, shoulders, legs, feet, and dorsal equipment are repositioned to form a compact silhouette designed for high-speed travel and combat.
This transformation allows all elements to remain directly on the model. The Beam Rifle and Shield remain integrated into the configuration, while the long side protections and dorsal units reinforce the aerial silhouette of the Mobile Armor.
The backpack houses two large EQFU-5X Mobile Weapon Pods. These units feature cannons with a sliding mechanism to reproduce their bombing configuration, while giving the Chaos Gundam its massive and heavily equipped appearance.
The different sections of the Mobile Weapon Pods are articulated and can be repositioned when transitioning between Mobile Suit Mode and Mobile Armor Mode. Their thrusters, fins, and launchers are reproduced with multiple parts to detail their structure.
The main armament includes a MA-BAR721 High-Energy Beam Rifle. This long weapon can be held by the Chaos Gundam in Mobile Suit configuration and then repositioned under the model when it adopts its Mobile Armor form.
The MMI-RG30 Mobile Shield completes its defensive equipment. Its articulated attachment allows its orientation on the forearm to be changed, while its streamlined shape directly integrates into the model's transformation.
For close combat, the kit includes two MA-M941 Vajra Beam Sabers with their transparent pink effect parts. They allow the Chaos Gundam to be displayed in various duel or dynamic attack poses.
The feet also feature MA-XM434 Beam Claws. Effect parts can be installed on the front of the feet to reproduce the large energy claws used during attacks in Mobile Armor Mode or during close combat.
The numerous articulations in the shoulders, arms, waist, and legs allow for varied poses despite the significant volume of the dorsal equipment. The different armor plates are separated to reproduce much of the Chaos Gundam's color scheme directly after assembly.
An illustrated display stand dedicated to Sting Oakley is also provided. It can be placed next to the assembled model to identify the pilot and complete its display in a Gundam SEED Destiny collection.
With its transformation without part swapping, its Mobile Weapon Pods, and its Beam Claws, the NG 1/100 Chaos Gundam is an original model for fans of Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny and older transformable 1/100 Gunpla.
