Future 30MM releases
- Air support vehicles, one including the Alto Aerial Mod wings to fight alongside the Altos, and a mobile armor with more emphasis on firepower for the Portanovas.
- Mobile assault vehicles that basically act as bikes for the mechs
- The new EAV Ground type is a tank that turns into a bobsled.
- Pretty much confirmed with the EAV Underwater type having a aquascooter function.
- Slightly larger models, like a brutish mech and a beast-like mech
- The Rabiot and both Revernova and Gardonova fill the "brute" role for both sides. The Maxion Forces has the first animal mecha, so confirmed.
- The Provedel is the first biggest model, standing at about 20 centimeters (compared to Alto's 12 centimeters). It has some animalistic elements like three-fingered manipulators and a tail. It can also transform into a t-rex like mode, so it checks both boxes.
They release a 30MM Feat. Mobile Suit Gundam subseries
Basically the inner frame is reused for a new lineup featuring past Gundams in a new express-build form, along with a new larger inner frame meant for certain models like the Nu Gundam and ZZ Gundam. Certain mechs like Zeta Gundam come with a partsforming feature. Unlike the HG Fine Build models like Leo etc. this line is reserved for main character units.- The new Entry Grade RX-78-2 may borrow a lot from 30MM design aesthetics but leaves off any tie-in to 30MM, so partially confirmed.
- All High Grade kits from Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury use C-clip joints for arms, legs and other accessories, meaning some of them are cross-compatible. However, just because they share similar engineering, it's not confirmed.
- Similarly, the Premium Bandai TRY AGE Gundam model kit includes complete Customize Effect Gunfire ver. in unique sparkling red color scheme. While the Customize Effect series predominantly feature 30MM kits in the promotional images, they're not advertised to be made just for this series. Again, not confirmed.
The Byrons get Adapted Out of the eventual anime... at first
Instead the apparent series premise is about cannon fodder soldiers sent out on missions that they have to be pulled out from at exactly 30 minutes, with the overarching arc being the use of EXAMACS to shift the balance of world political power - the dominant bloc uses Altos while the opposing forces use Portanovas and other cheaper mechsnote that get added to the model kit line. Then the Byrons appear, forcing them to unite against a common enemy...- The "real" enemy will be those translucent dummy plamo mechs used in all the package art for Figurerise effects and accessories.
- The Rabiot weapon set has a new upper torso of oddly alien design. It might be a build-a-figure thing.
- The space type EAV has a new pair of thighs included, if it's a build-a-figure they're really dragging it out.
- Possibly confirmed with the Spinatio, shown looking over fallen Altos and Portanovas in its official announcement image.
The nature of the Byrons
The lore in the kits refers to the Byrons as "human-like" which say to me they are not fully human. top guesses as to their nature are.- Humanoid Reptiles
- Humanoid Dinosaurs
- Humanoid Avians
- Humanoid Fish
- humanoid Insects
- The Greys-like aliens roughly resembling the Spinatio
- Rubber-Forehead Aliens
- Like the Vagans in Mobile Suit Gundam Age, human all along, but from a Bad Future rather than an abandoned government project.
The Byrons were sent by...
Alus, after his virtual invasion of GBN failed, forcing him to carry out a physical invasion, which took decades to set up, thus leading to the time of 30MMs. Case in point, the Spinatio
bears a distinct resemblance to the Alus Core Gundam.- Not confirmed. The first Spinatio kits were released in 2021, two years after Gundam Build Divers Re:RISE was aired. Furthermore, Alus was copying designs of existing mobile suits while the Spinatio are brand new designs.
The Maxion are Mechanical Lifeforms
30 Minutes Missions, 30 Minutes Sisters and the upcoming 30 Minutes Fantasy are all connected... somehow
This explains the cross-compatibility across the 30 Minutes Label. This doesn't seem to explain the nature of 30 Minutes Sisters as they're non-scale with 30MM or the majority of 1/144 gunpla kits. Some depict them as gigantic gynoids while some depict them as normal, human-sized androids with parts based on ExAMACS and EAVs.
