Take command of the Celestial Being’s second-generation long-range artillery unit, brought to life by the modern plastic modelling technology of the High Grade (HG Gundam 00) range developed by Bandai Spirits.
The GNW-001 Gundam Throne Eins, piloted by Johann Trinity, immediately stands out from classic Gundams with its aggressive, asymmetrical silhouette. Its robust body features a sombre military livery combining matt chocolate-brown plastic with mechanical-grey sections, all accentuated by a purple chest plate and a large, golden-yellow optical sensor on the head. Its structure incorporates a special reactor, the GN Drive Tau, which emits distinctive red energy particles.
A giant GN Launcher and a flexible energy cable:
The true visual impact of this model lies in its heavy armament. The mecha’s back houses the gigantic GN Launcher particle cannon. This monumental weapon is mounted on a heavy articulated arm at the right shoulder. It features a functional deployment mechanism that allows the cannon to slide forwards to recreate the firing stance. A flexible braided cable is included to connect the cannon to the backpack, providing perfect three-dimensional industrial detail.
Additional armament and squad combinations:
For medium- and short-range combat, the Throne Eins is equipped with a streamlined beam rifle (GN Beam Rifle) mounted on the right forearm and two beam sabres (GN Beam Sabers). True to the details of the animated series, the shoulder cannon features special connection points designed to dock directly with the Gundam Throne Zwei and Throne Drei models (sold separately) to form the devastating GN Mega Launcher.
