that way you just curl the left arm in and up like you're covering your face and it shields like that

>>14421407
That way, you can actually see shit when you use it to protect your head.

Makes sense back in the manga maybe, but all modern interpretations of the RX-78 have a swiveling mount is for. This just makes it so that when he looks left in his normal stance, Amuro can't see shit.

Besides, if you want to get technical; if the RX-78-02 held the shield the proper way a shield would be mounted normally, it would be sideways.

It seems to be based more off Ballistic Shields this time around, as here are some types held just like that.

The thing swivels. Amuro sometimes held the shield like that in MSG too.

Have you ever built a kit before? the shields rotate.

>Blast shield
For what purpose?

>>14421407
Use your incredible imagination to make him raise his arm.

You see how that shield is the correct way up? It isn't if the shield is the wrong way up when not being used.

It can wear the shield any way Amuro wants, considering the spinning mount it's attached to.

Also, Ver. Ka and Ver. Origin are tied as the best interpretations of the Gundam

>T-rex arms

For what purpose?

>>14428006

obviously for blasts

>>14430623
mine ain't got anything like that

>>14429132
Shoulders on the ver ka absolutely ruin it for me. Otherwise I dig the proportions.

Not the RG or the MG 3.0.
I really prefer it without the trim piece around the chest vents too.

>>14431802

don't know what to tell you, but mine doesn't.

they're set into the chest like the second and third ones in this post >>14431814

MG 3.0's shield doesn't. I assume 2.0's doesn't either since I'm told it has mostly the same weapon parts.

>>14431802
And I make sure to avoid those versions and get the good looking ones

>>14421407
looks cool
