The Juiced up Junk Prototype
The near future. Years after the huge "Gunpla"-plastic models based on the anime series Mobile Suit Gundam-boom of the 1980s. A second Gunpla boom is taking the world by storm, fueled by the revolutionary new ability to pilot your own Gunpla creations in "Gunpla Battles ". These incredibly-popular Battles culminate in a yearly global tournament.






Gundam models are model kits depicting the vehicles and characters of the fictional Gundam universe by Bandai. These kits have become popular among mecha anime fans and model enthusiasts in Japan and in other nearby Asian countries since the 1980s. Gundam modeling spread in the 1990s with North America and Europe being exposed to Gundam through television, video and manga. Gundam models, as well as the hobby of assembling and painting them, is known in Japan as Gunpla (???? Ganpura?), a portmanteau of "Gundam plastic model", plastic being the most common material for the retail kits.






Gunpla battles are operated on one or several large hexagonal table-like 3D image projector that are set up in various locations around the world, including hobby shops. To operate these, a person is required to set a GP Base that registers the model and its creator as well as its operator. This allows a co-op battle with the Builder of the Gunpla acting as the operator/navigator and the pilot as the Fighter. It is also possible for a person to act as both, in fact, this is often the case. The machine also projects a holographic interface around the participating combatants, with the Fighters given a pair of glowing orbs that act as the controls. Weapon and system slots are displayed, showing the Gunpla's current weaponry and which special system is available for use.


The Gunpla are brought to life via Plavsky Particles. These particles are also able to fully replicate effects such as beam weaponry, thrusters, etc as well as the arena itself and its physics to increase the realism and immersion. A Gunpla's performance directly correlates to the quality of its construction as well as the materials that were used (For example, reinforcing a beam rifle's barrel with metal parts will increase its durability allowing it to fire a stronger beam without adverse effect). Through certain means of particle manipulation, special systems such as I-Fields can also be replicated, even on units that never had them in the original show as with the I-field used on the Apsalus III or new features such as the ??? Sengoku Astray Gundam's particle Fa Jin style.


Prior to the 14th Gunpla Tournament, the damage inflicted on the model in combat was passed down to the actual suit. Thus, if a unit was beheaded in battle, it would remain beheaded once combat ended. However, the rules had changed, leaving three levels of combat ratings, C through A. C was the lowest, where even if a suit was destroyed, when combat ended, the model was not damaged. B was the middle level and used for the regional tournaments; this allowed low-level damage to be incurred on your model, but not outright ruin it. A was the highest and it could lead to models being obliterated. As revealed inOur Gunpla, the Meijin Cup building competition utilizes Gunpla Battle to settle contesting of a winner, with the damage level set to C as to not damage the models.


While technically each player can only bring in one Gunpla, the rule can be bent by using Bits or support units, as long as the Builder manages to construct these support units individually, make sense in the context, and/or start out attached to the unit. Examples that utilize such "loophole" including: Gundam Double X and their Bit mobile suits (story context); Gadelaza with its 154 bits (required to be built painstakingly); GM Sniper K9 with its K9 support unit.


As with Gunpla Builders, the performance of a Gunpla in battle is relative to how a Gunpla is constructed. A straight assembly Gunpla (or what is known as an out-of-the-box Gunpla) tends to be weak like a normal mass produced Mobile Suit. It's stated that even a Gunpla that's just been painted tend to do even better than a straight assembled one. However, it is known that a Fighter's piloting skill can compensate for the lower performance of a straight assembled Gunpla and even make it on par with a painted one. A Gunpla's stats are determined by six factors: Adhesion Intensity, Joint Motion, Paint Work, Special Processing, Reflected World, and Total Intensity. The higher the stats, the better off the suit is.


Gunpla Battle Fields

  • Field 01: Space


Simulates different parts of space such as the Moon's surface or a Universal Century battlefield. The City field can also be combined with this field if a colony is part of the setting.

  • Field 02: Desert


Simulates a desert setting in a hot dry weather.

  • Field 03: Forest


Simulates a forest or jungle setting in different seasons on Earth or inside a colony. In a colony stage, damage to the colony structure will result in an adverse change in atmosphere, with strong winds drawing all objects into the hole. A Gunpla loses by field-out if it is sucked out of the colony.

  • Field 04: Mountain


Simulates a mountain setting in different seasons.

  • Field 05: City


Simulates either an Earth city or the inside of a colony. As with the forest stage, colony city stages are susceptible to structural damage.

  • Field 07: Ruins


Simulates a city ruins setting.

  • Field 08: Sky


Simulates a sky setting filled with floating masses of land.

  • Field 09: Canyon


Simulates a canyon or gorge landscape in daytime or nighttime settings.

  • Field 11: Castle


Simulates a Feudal Japanese castle grounds.

  • Field 12: Island


Simulates a small Island with combination of Forest, Canyon, and other possible field types.

  • Field 13: Tundra


Simulates a polar environment with low temperatures.

  • Battle Royal


Combines all fields into one to accommodate multiple Gunpla. Players starting in the space field can make an atmospheric entry to Earth to continue their battles in the other fields.
