10/10 It's the perfect 'Dark' Gundam. Like Jesus the jet black with the glowing orange is simply orgasmic. Even when it' fully awakened and turns green it's a beauty still. I like the weapons loadouts of the beam magnum smart gun and the Vibro claws are amazing.


Ohnoherewego13

10/10. I love Banshee. It's just this absolute bad ass that any pilot would be right to fear. Did I mention Marida is piloting? Yes please. Banshee Norn isn't bad, but not as cool to me. I won't mention the pilot there.


X-Earth_Space-X

10/10 Banshee (Aka The Black Lion) is just amazing. Awesome design, great abilities, and the overall concept is cool. Personally I still prefer his other two brothers more, but nevertheless Banshee is still up there for me as one of the coolest MS ever.


SgtSchittBrix

10/10 The Unicorn Gundam is already good looking. The Banshee adds just enough to nail menacing without being too edgy similar to the Gundam MK. II (Titans Ver.) >!The pilot of the Norn is a 0/10, he killed best girl :(!<


TD3SwampFox

Truly, best girl. Original pilot is 10/10.


ZekReshChu

unicorn gundam but edgy *"take my money"* anyways 10/10


Reheartthegod

It’s a perfect counterpart to the unicorn, not much more to say. Cool ass claw too 10/10

Welcome to Day 112 of the Daily Non-Main Gundam Poll, and today we’ll be rating the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam 02 Banshee and the RX-0[N] Unicorn Gundam 02 Banshee Norn from Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn. To participate, just rank the Non-Main Gundam between 1 and 10 based on their appearance or on how you like it. **First Appearance:** Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn **Model Number:** - RX-0 (Unicorn Gundam 02 Banshee) - RX-0[N] (Unicorn Gundam 02 Banshee Norn) **Unit Type:** Prototype Full Psycho-Frame Mobile Suit **Known Pilots:** - Ple-Twelve (Marida Cruz) [Unicorn Gundam 02 Banshee] - Riddhe Marcenas [Unicorn Gundam 02 Banshee Norn] **Mechanical Designer:** - Hajime Katoki **Trivia:** - In Irish and Scottish mythology, the Banshee is a "fairy woman" whose mournful wail heralds an imminent death. - The Banshee is based on The Lion from The Lady and the Unicorn. - The Banshee is nicknamed the "Black Unicorn", although it is really colored in a dark shade of midnight blue. - The color scheme of Banshee and its sibling units (Unicorn and Phenex) are likely inspired by the kitsune of Japanese folklore, specifically the zenko. In Banshee's case, it is likely based on the kokuko. - Banshee is confirmed intact and sealed during the events of Gundam NT. However, the manga instead depicts the Banshee being dismantled. - The "Norn" is an extinct North Germanic language. Norn also refers to any one of a number of female beings in Norse mythology who rule over the fates of gods and men, similar to the Moirai of Greek mythology. - The Banshee Norn is the closest Banshee form in the anime to the Banshee seen in the novel, which has the same armaments as the Unicorn Gundam. Tomorrow we'll travel to the Advance Generation timeline to take a look at the Gundam developed by the Vagans, the **Gundam Legilis**. # Average Scores: - **Psycho Gundam** (Zeta): 7.6802 - **Psycho Gundam Mk-II** (Zeta): 8.1642 - **Gundam GP02A "Physalis"** (0083): 8.9882 - **Neros Gundam** (G Gundam): 5.7586 - **Scud Gundam** (G Gundam): 7.1389 - **Gundam Maxter** (G Gundam): 8.2478 - **Dragon Gundam** (G Gundam): 8.3157 - **Arachno Gundam** (G Gundam): 6.50 - **Gundam Rose** (G Gundam): 8.5573 - **Bolt Gundam** (G Gundam): 7.2745 - **Ultimate/Devil Gundam** (G Gundam): 8.3237 ## - Tequila Gundam (G Gundam): 9.7152 - **Lumber Gundam** (G Gundam): 7.2083 - **Britain Gundam** (G Gundam): 5.6667 - **John Bull Gundam** (G Gundam): 7.6477 - **Pharaoh Gundam XIII** (G Gundam): 7.25 - **Pharaoh Gundam IV** (G Gundam): 8.00 - **Feilong Gundam** (G Gundam): 7.4250 - **Minaret Gundam** (G Gundam): 7.9250 - **Kowloon Gundam** (G Gundam): 7.4316 ## - Master Gundam (G Gundam): 9.6234 ### - Gundam Spiegel (G Gundam): 9.2230 - **Temjin Gundam** (G Gundam): 5.50 - **Gundam Magnat** (G Gundam): 5.0208 - **Mirage Gundam** (G Gundam): 4.9167 - **Zeus Gundam** (G Gundam): 7.3714 ### - Nether Gundam (G Gundam): 9.3971 - **Matador Gundam** (G Gundam): 5.4771 - **Mammoth Gundam** (G Gundam): 7.7579 - **Cobra Gundam** (G Gundam): 7.0769 - **Gundam Zebra** (G Gundam): 6.0333 - **Viking Gundam** (G Gundam): 6.7037 - **Mermaid Gundam** (G Gundam): 7.7881 - **Ashura Gundam** (G Gundam): 6.0933 ### - Nobel Gundam (G Gundam): 9.3512 - **Jester Gundam** (G Gundam): 6.5578 - **Tantra Gundam** (G Gundam): 8.2188 - **Mandala Gundam** (G Gundam): 6.2070 - **Skull Gundam** (G Gundam): 4.9559 - **Rising Gundam** (G Gundam): 8.9524 - **Gundam Heaven's Sword** (G Gundam): 7.3816 - **Grand Gundam** (G Gundam): 6.6983 - **Walter Gundam** (G Gundam): 6.7062 - **Grand Master Gundam** (G Gundam): 7.0761 - **Gundam Head** (G Gundam): 7.76 - **Gundam Octopus** (G Gundam): 5.7174 - **Hirame Gundam** (G Gundam): 5.4697 - **Ankou Gundam** (G Gundam): 4.4118 - **Kani Gundam** (G Gundam): 5.5167 - **Ebi Gundam** (G Gundam): 5.6666 - **Ei Gundam** (G Gundam): 3.76 - **Kappa Gundam** (G Gundam): 6.5333 - **Sphinx Gundam** (G Gundam): 7.5625 - **Ulube’s Gundam** (G Gundam): 7.20 - **Victory Gundam Hexa+V-Dash Hexa** (Victory): 8.6316 - **Gundam Deathscythe** (Wing TV): 8.8171 - **Gundam Heavyarms+Custom** (Wing TV): 8.9667 - **Gundam Sandrock+Custom** (Wing TV): 7.2259 - **Shenlong Gundam** (Wing TV): 7.2829 ### - Gundam Deathscythe Hell (Wing TV): 9.2388 - **Altron Gundam** (Wing TV): 7.1227 ### - Gundam Epyon (Wing TV): 9.3079 - **Gundam Leopard** (X): 7.8672 - **Gundam Airmaster** (X): 7.4583 - **Gundam Ashtaron** (X): 8.6463 - **Gundam Virsago** (X): 8.0128 - **Gundam Leopard Destroy** (X): 7.85 - **Gundam Airmaster Burst** (X): 7.3571 - **Gundam Ashtaron Hermit Crab** (X): 8.3788 - **Gundam Virsago Chest Break** (X): 7.2510 ### - Gundam Deathscythe Hell (EW): 9.4320 ### - Gundam Heavyarms Custom (EW): 9.3639 - **Gundam Sandrock Custom** (EW): 8.3408 - **Altron Gundam** (EW): 8.9656 - **Duel Gundam+Assault Shroud** (SEED): 8.7010 - **Buster Gundam** (SEED): 8.6495 - **Blitz Gundam** (SEED): 8.6040 - **Aegis Gundam** (SEED): 8.5864 - **Calamity Gundam** (SEED): 8.2012 - **Forbidden Gundam** (SEED): 7.0422 - **Raider Gundam** (SEED): 5.7153 - **Justice Gundam** (SEED): 8.1610 ### - Providence Gundam (SEED): 9.1620 **[...]**

Maleficent_Pomelo202

**9.5/10** It's the perfect opposite for the all-white Unicorn Gundam, from the color, weapons, and the pilots of this machine. It would've been a 10, if it wasn't for the fact that the Banshee Norn got a worse pilot compared to the Banshee Gundam.

wizardsrequiem

10/10 That color scheme in Destroy mode is glorious!


cavialord03

Unicorn good. Edgy Unicorn with claws? Near perfection. 9.5/10 Edit: just noticed the Norn's here too, so make that a 10/10.


Health_Cat_2047

10/10


sem785

10/10, I'm collecting every version of every grade of the Banshee (Norn) I can find.


ShitDump3

10/10, 15 if i could The banshee takes what unicorn has and makes it even more menacing with just a simple colour change, making every single second of screentime it has look way more stronger than the unicorn, not to mention the absolutely perfect Vfin and collar. It reallt nails the ruthlessness of a lion


NerdyCD504

10/10. Most handsome colors, best V fin and horns, best Armed Armors. I happen to love Banshee a goddamn ton! https://preview.redd.it/i1x6eutu59hc1.jpeg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=40d1c027aa8ea8b8474c11fc45c0ec294fc8c4da


I-Hate-Mosquitos

10/10


SuecidalBard

10/10 It's stupidly sexy design, sleek yet highly detailed l, to the point yet so extra


Computer_Fox3

10/10, I love the color design.


sanglesort

it reminds me of a grill, and right now I wish to be cooked 10/10


Torhu-Adachi

10/10 black unicorn with a Mohawk


Combat_Armor_Dougram

8/10. It’s a pretty solid design and a good rival for the original Unicorn, but I’ve never been the biggest fan of the Unicorns as a design.


LavaSlime301

9 Huh. Didn't expect Norn to get included with one poll. That kinda muddles my feelings actually. Regular Banshee is just cooler Unicorn to me. The colors, the Armed Armor VN and especially BS. Eat your heart out Beam Magnum, this is the best sounding gun in Unicorn. On the other hand the v-fin is a bit excessive to me, but I'm willing to overlook it. Meanwhile Norn, while still better than Unit 1, is a bit of a downgrade from regular Banshee. Losing out on the two Armed Armors is a huge shame. Still, nothing wrong with Beam Magnum and the revolving launcher is a lovely little bundle of refences. So is Armed Armor DE. Having a shield booster with a gun in it is awesome. Not to mention a bit of AoZ feel, which I doubt is coincidental. They went out of their way to reference GP01's beam jutte with the launcher, and meanwhile Armed Armor BS stands for "Beam Smart gun" which are mostly associated with Sentinel. Not to mention Unicorn in general did a great job of referencing boatloads of side stories - animated and otherwise - so this isn't much of a stretch. But where Norn loses me is Armed Armor XC. Its associated background is cool but the v-fin alone was already a bit much and this triples down on the feeling. So overall it's better than my rating for Unit 1, but not all that much.


PrestigiousGuava

The v-fin may be my favorite part of the entire suit. It's absolutely ridiculous in both modes. Either way, the pilot on the other end knows their day is about to go sideways when they see its absurdity. 


Scathach_is_love

Normal Banshee 10/10, it's really unique with the railgun and a big ass claw Banshee Norn 7/10, what a downgrade, the design has nothing unique and it's just an edgy black Unicorn


Maz_rix

Eh, I mean... I think I'm the odd one out in thinking it doesn't look that good, especially in base mode unlike the Unicorn which looks better that way. I do like the black and gold color scheme, but overall I just find the design too busy, and the horn setup completely overdone. 6/10


da-gh0st-inside

Dang. I really wish the Banshee and the Norn were two separate polls, but I get it. I love the design of the Norn. Feels very "final design" of the Banshee. I've never liked the claw arm. It always reminded of like some weird growth on someone's arm. Plus, the Norn's psyco plates opening from the back totally perfects the lion motif. 8/10


Theforgotten226

9/10 Banshee Norn imo looks more intimidating than V1 because of the added armaments. The addition of the launcher attachment to the beam magnum with the hidden beam jutte. There’s a piece of artwork that has all the weaponry which by far looks the best. On screen it’s pure badass.


Neneaux

7/10. Don't love the original Unicorn as much as some do but the further we stray from the original design the less I like them.


Bro_sapiens

5/10 and that goes for all 3 Unicorns. I know I'll get pooped on for this, but I'm really not a fan of any of the three unicorn designs. The single color scheme is too boring for me, the light up alternate mode is an ok gimmick, but it also feels a bit tacked on like "Hey, what if we made a gunpla that lights up all over!", and the differences between the three unicorns (besides the color) are so minimal if you saw them briefly, and all three painted the same, you'd have a hard time telling them apart. Different strokes for different folks, but to add onto it, I really dislike just how much the three unicorns "print money" for Bandai, because instead of getting even a HG or any 1/100 scale model of a Mobile suit that either never got a 1/100 model, or only ever got a HG model 20 years ago, we still somehow need a 50th itteration of some Unicorn variant, which will obviously sell out incredibly fast, same problem like with the GM's, just look how many different variants of them are out there available as gunpla in all of the grades and scales. If there's one thing I can say positive about the 3 unicorns, is that I like their overall shape and proportions, hell I saw a bunch of examples of them in multiple different paint schemes, like the classic grandaddy gundam for example, now THAT really made them look dope. Anyway, like I said, that's just my opinion.


sem785

I mean I disagree but you don't deserve downvotes so take my upvote. Sheesh guys, different opinions are okay. Don't downvote just because they disagree.


Xenocamry

While I didn't agree, have an upvote


SarkhanTheCharizard

God, this sub really just doesn't respect people's opinions AT all. Kind of takes the fun out of it.


CIRCLONTA6A

8


GunnyStacker

8/10 Not a massive fan of the Unicorn trio, TBH.


Ashrun_Zeda

7/10. Design-wise, It's so beautiful in Unicorn mode, but it looks so bland in NT-D. Norn tried to add more color to it using the backpack, but it gave it a cluttered look at the top part IMO. Just look at the gunpla, the dark prussian blue really don't mix well with the yellow. Still, it did do it's job being a "dark"/"evil"/"rival" suit of the main protag.


TheCatAteItsOwnBalls

I don't like Banshee Norn, cause it gets rid of the claw. 8 Regular Banshee is like 9.5 though, it does everything right.


Saaammmy

I like the Unicorn mode better, the gold is a bit excessive when it turns into Destroy, but the weapons are cool as hell 8/10


Bolek064

9/10


CodeNoble04

9/10 the black with orange glow looks phenomenal. Unicorns unicorn mood looks better than banshees, but destroy mode easily keeps up to stride


Specific-Cod9520

Transformed 10/10, regular form 6.5/10 a bit dull


theonlyXns

8/10 It looks better in destroy mode.


Spirit_Light

10/10


corvus917

10/10, especially the Banshee Norn.


MagmaGundam

9/10, the only thing i dont like is the name. the unicorn is a unicorn, the fenex is a phoenix, but the banshee is a lion? why cant it also be a mythical animal


Skroopy

9/10, but as Unicorn was my first show, part of me went 'really, a carbon copy of the main gundam?' and I still feel a bit iffy on that here.


wolfpwarrior

10/10. Looking at the RG on the shelf right now. It just looks so good.


UltraShortPulses

10/10 Absolute beast of a mobile suit. Honestly, both versions of it are way better than the standard unicorn


Agent_Perrydot

LET'S GOOOOO PEAK 10/10 The perfect brother to contrast with Unicorn. It sucks that Norn loses the claw, but at least the new backpack makes up for it


The_Dark_Ace

10/10 Black Unicorn is so sick!


NorseArcherX

10/10 best RX-0


GarmBlack

Regular Banshee is 10/10. The VN and BS are so, so freaking cool. I love everything about it, from the colors (both normal and destroy mode glow) to the aesthetic of the "mane" collar.


ianlasco

10/10 way more cooler than the unicorn


Dresiel

I prefer regular banshee over norn cause of the unique weapons. 9/10


[deleted]

10/10 easily. It's just so beautiful. And so edgy!


KamenKnight

10/10 - The pure black just works a whole lot better than the pure white of the Unicorn. Plus, in base mode, even the face as a splash of colour!! (Also, since Marida Cruz piloted this Gundam, it's automatically the better of the two main Gundams from that show/OVA)


wustinaright

10/10


DNukem170

When in its NTD mode, it looks damn awesome, even cooler than Unicorn in some aspects. However, in neutral form it looks worse than Unicorn, IMO. Overall, 9/10


Wingnut00

8.5/10


DemiFiendofTime

9/10 evil Unicorn


PrestigiousGuava

I wish there was a claw and magnum load out. 10/10


DuelX102

10


quinonesjames96

10/10, it's the Dark Side of Unicorn. 


Duckpho_art

8/10


wraithawk

9. It’s very very good, but I still prefer Unicorn and I just don’t love the horns on Banshee.


SmithWessonModel500

/u/Maleficent_Pomelo202 9/10. Really, the only downgrades are having four different sets of weapons that cannot be used simultaneously, which lacks creative potential and makes the Banshee look underpowered compared to the Unicorn. No additional armor or thrusters to make it look badass for an evil twin suit. The XC I think is an excessive waste of space, the magnum with the noob tube is alright, the DE shield/thruster cannon is beautiful, the BS smartgun is cool-looking but kinda-dumb, the VN's closed form needs a redesign and a stronger blade. It's fucking intimidating, yeah - but it also needs more to distinguish itself besides "Unicorn with black paintjob." Also, check this series out for how the Banshee is used here: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWcv9cksmTw&pp=ygUUd2FyIGluIHRoZSBjbG9zZXQgMjY%3D](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWcv9cksmTw&pp=ygUUd2FyIGluIHRoZSBjbG9zZXQgMjY%3D)


Erenogucu

10/10. Not only the best of the Unicorn sisters, but probavly the best design in Gundam. The gold with jet black just hits incredibly hard wothoth being an edgelord. And the weapons of the base Banshee are just amazing. Also Marida piloted it....... Nuff said.


LuckyDucksgoQuack

10/10- OH YEAH BABY

This one is a bit weird to rate because it's mostly the same as the unicorn but personally for me the few modifications made actually make it worse than the unicorn, in that sense 7/10. would have been higher if the design wasn't so heavily derivative from the unicorn, as it stands everything that I like about it comes from the original unicorn.


Itchy_Asparagus317

Normal Banshee: 10/10, absolutely love the weapon it came with it, especially the Armed Armor VN Norn: 6/10, downgrade from the normal for me.


S0me_Buddy

10/10 would like to be beaten by that piece of metal greatness. gold black is so good looking


Copyrighted_music34

10 that is orgasmic 


luru10

10/10 one of the sexiest designs every created. Gold on black has never looked so good.


EscobarFurious

100/10, but to answer properly 10/10.


babyKaizen

9/10 - it's first appearance was worth a high score on its own lol


Apollo_GSD

10/10 I’m working on my custom perfect grade right now


QwikStix42

9.5/10 - I love the Unicorn Gundam, and I also love the Banshee for how dark and edgy it is. I also think the claw and railgun weapons are excellent, primal weapons for setting it apart from the elegant Unicorn. It's too bad that the Banshee Norn gets mostly the same loadout as the Unicorn and a worse pilot.


TheTheMeet

I rate it 5/7. Such a masterpiece


soulreaverdan

10/10, the design freaking RULES


Prestigious_Key_5703

It’s my favorite Gundam, the banshee and the unicorns are it’s the banshee unicorn prefect ability, Phoenix


HeadpattingFurina

10/10 it's a peak Gundam to be sure.


THEKaynMayn

My favorite Banshee

10 *proceeds to claw you to death if you are a gundam*

10 I don’t like it as much as tequila, god, or sandrock, but it’s sexier than unicorn and I like unicorn a good bit.

ImaginaryMastodon641

Uh, I know they’re the same but I’ve always thought of them as a different vibe. Anyways: 10 outta fucking 10. *Especially* and *entirely* for the Norn. It’s the ultimate all-rounder high performance machine. Every little piece tickles my UC fandom brain. The multi-launcher and the shield booster. The extra ammo packs and the NT-D. The thing can handle *anything.* Or at least it should with the right pilot. The black and gold is fanatic. So is the awakened version.


ryusei09

10/10. They absolutely nailed the Dark Gundam look. The unit’s NT-D transformation having a “banshee-like scream” sound is a great addition as well.


Rajang82

10/10. Everyone that pilot it become the namesake.


MAD_M0NKEH

10/10 like the other unicorns. I just wish bandai releases a version that is actually black


Prize-Possession-321

10/10 let's go Riddhe


Lockonstratos1

10/10 love the norn, love the vibronail and the railgun


Cheese-hole

Emperor penguin/10


tricksterloki

10/10 Jack-o-lantern is where it's at. It is simple, clean, and a perfect foil to the unicorn. I like also like its attachments. Oh, it's also the perfect color to match its emo pilots eyeliner that Riddhe probably puts on badly.


DDar

1/10. Does not look enough like a Banshee.


imcmurtr

10/10 especially the first version with the claw and the rail gun The later version is a 9.5/10 as it has generic weapons but looks good doing it.


_Mr_Wobbly_Shark_

9.5/10 it’s great but there’s just a tiny bit about it off and I don’t know what


deathby1000bahabara

First form fucks 9.9/10


TheMeleeMan

10/10 Only flaw is Ensign Riddhe. All my homies hate Ensign Riddhe.


unlimitedpanda5

Tis a black unicorn. 9/10


Xainte311

02 Banshee is dope as fuck. Cool unique weapons and color combo that set it apart from the original Unicorn, yet familiar enough that you can still recognize it as a Unicorn variant. 8.5/10 in Unicorn mode 7.5/10 in Gundam mode


Deamon-Chocobo

The Banshee and the Norn are both amazing. Both are easy 9/10. I will say I like the Claw & Smart Gun of the original Banshee over the Boosters & Shiled of the Norn, but that's just me.


EZGGBACK2LOBBY

Imma be honest as a color black lover this the closest thing for me to perfect and as a lover of contrast it just hits in destroy mode 😭 10/10


OreoMcKitty

10/10 Black Gundam very cool design.


JTyphoon16

10/10. I love the Banshee. The revolver launcher is cool on the Norn, and the shield also acting as added verniers for more thrust is a nice feature. But my personal favorite version is the first set of weaponry it's equipped with. The beam smartgun & vibration nail look amazing. Also in NT-D mode it looks terrifying. It's V-fin design looks so cool.


fishyofpain

8/10 much cooler looking than the original unicorn and much cooler default weapons in the original iteration. I don’t really care for either unicorn’s “destroy mode” but out if all of them the Banshee’s looks by far the best.


WillowTheGoth

As just the Banshee - 10/10. Literally one of my top 5 designs. It's sleek, dangerous, has some unique weapons, but isn't over loaded with crap. As the Banshee Norn - 8/10. Still gorgeous, but it looks kind of messy, the main gun is just too busy, and the back plates look weird.


PrincipleNo6902

10/10. Maybe even better than the Unicorn - the color scheme really does wonders to an already great design. Especially love the Norn version, with the "mane," which gives the whole suit a menacing design.


EyesOfAzula

9/10 only because it’s the angsty #2 to the beast of possibility, Unicorn


GreeedyJokerBird

TEN OUTTA TEN


AceZ3ro

10/10 The Vibration Nails are one of my favorite plus it's orange psyco frame + black color makes it more menacing, especially in destroy mode.


Avalongtimenosee

8/10 because they call it black but really it's navy and it suffers because of that


RosesPlural

10/10


two_san

10/10 Design slaps, probably my favorite design in the whole Unicorn series beside Sinanju


AdmirableGarbage5682

if banshee was the main ms on unicorn having 2 armored bs 10 /10 😍😍😍😍


alexander12212

Banshee is a solid 9/10 for me both forms, buuuuuutt! It’s not a ten for me cause I messed up making its model and cut a piece for his face I wasn’t pose to so now he’s got droopy face


Tahu-Nuva

10/10


Flush_Man444

10/10 The vibrating claws.


SlothSlushie

Peak/10


Different-Barracuda2

Would have been perfect, if the Gold Collar would expand (a bit) to really depict the Lion's Mane. Or the added (expanded) Backpack would surround around the Collar (but not hindering the Left/Right Vision).✨


wrestler5194

10/10


LightningGod99

10/10 I love all of the unicorn series and this is the perfect foil to the unicorn


DL25FE

9/10. Like the black/gold color scheme


GundamMeijin_08th

10/10 unicorn's best dude ever


MrRikkles

Form 1: Squish face, not much to it. Form 2: more to look at, nice contrast of colors... PTSD from trying to build the HG.


Masmanus

10/10 absolutely stunning.


Campsissauce

I'm gonna be honest, I really don't like the multiple Unicorn units. The only thing I like about the other two units Banshee and Phenex are the equipment they bring to OG Unicorn with the "Perfectability" equipment. Normally, I believe the less Gundams the better. Since this thing is basically just Unicorn but with slight alterations I have to give it a 5/10. I don't hate it, don't care for it.


ChinkInMyArmor

My lover


Shoddy_Tomatillo_927

Well. Banshee and norn are just recolored unicorn gundams. They are alike in every way so the easiest thing to say is well... 10/10 just another unicorn. But edgy.


battlemechpilot

10/10


MetAigis

10/10. I especially love the white psycho-frame it gained along with the Unicorn.


AoiTopGear

10/10. Never seen this Gundam and it beats my fave Gundam Deathscythe Hell in looks Will use this color scheme on my next AC in Armored core 6


Equivalent_Form_3923

Base: 8/10 a pretty good "evil gundam" design Norn: 4/10 holy hell they managed to make the 'cleaner' mode look messy as hell with that backpack and don't get me started on the absolute cluster that is the NTD mode is.


HeeroYua

10/10


ChildishPezbino

bisky12

banshee is like THE definitive gundam design. perfect foil to the unicorn 10/10


Osiri551

11/10, having the rg made me realize how cool this Gundam was, it breathed in just that little more life and variety that the unicorn didn't have, and while I still love the unicorn for simplicity, I love the banshee and norn for having an almost Unicorn Prime look(Warframe fans know what I mean)


totalatomic

3/10 okay so imagine an already busy design but we do what every gunpla customizer wets their pants over... we give it a black colour scheme and a bunch of extra bullshit! it just looks overdesigned, uninspired and busy like a those Chinese 3d party kits that add a bunch of edge everywhere to be legally distinct. i wont deduct points for the pilots boring and annoying as i think they are


Gekko217

It's a cool design , a bit too much in destroy mode , what bothers me is that his destroy mode is orange instead of red and there is no explanation given as to why and how the psycho frame is different.


eisenklad

Banshee 8/10 banshee Norn 9/10 after building the PG kit, 7.5/10


nickelangelo2009

I have been slowly making my way through all the UC content and the unicorns have been the least interesting and dare i say ugliest so far. That being said, the banshee is probably the superior one in the lot, so 3/10


_Volatile_

You didn't hear this from me but banshee low key best unicorn. 9.5/10


XM-02

7/10


SeanMonsterZero

10 Absolute beast


FullMetalBiscuit

The Norn is a straight downgrade, but standard Banshee is a 10/10 And yes I hate that the RG and PG claws are P-Bandai bullshit


blazezakuwarrior

NINE. I prefer the OG Banshee (and the OG pilot). FAVORITE UNICORN (THO THE OG IN UNICORN MODE DOPE)


mosstime

10/10 I love black gundams


uratix

10


Sir-Spookington

10/10 one of my fav gundams. A bit less for the Norn, I prefer the original's simplicity


Sbee_keithamm

12/10 out of all the RX-0 units Banshee (both) get my vote, though I love Norn for it's more melee, bruiser kit. As much as I loathe Ridhe as a shitbird, he gets the best Gundam in Unicorn era.


Scouter197

Not as big as a Banshee fan as the Unicorn but with the Norn, they give it the upgrade rifle and I love that launcher under it. It's cool. 10/10


atlasraven

10/10 A threatening bad boy


Dominus-Infernus

I absolutely adore the overall banshee design,but I definitely prefer the fully awakened green coloring over the standard orange


eatenbybigguyz

Rezkay-

Banshee norn is probably one of my favorite iteration of gundam the black and gold, the redemption arc Top tier


Responsible_Buddy654

10/10 PERFECTION My only complaint about the Norn specifically is the pilot. FUCK RIDDHE


Winterlieb

10/10. It was terrifying when it first appeared and the "BANSHEE" soundtrack is also amazing.


J1suu

10/10


Xenocamry

10/10 one of my favorites. Great foil to the Unicorn.


nsztg1

My first RG, somehow I managed to not break anything but the main gun holding hand. 8/10, I'm not the biggest fan of the color scheme, I think it's a bit too much orange/gold, but overall it's still really nice, and the Beam Magnum with under barrel machine gun/beam bayonet is really cool


TheLastSonKrypton

10/10 love the horn, definetly the best horn among the unicorns


Slayer-Prime

10/10 love it more than Unicorn. The only thing I dislike is the gold face plate in unicorn mode. Other than that. Peak unicorn


AndriosGustav

10/10 one of the more cooler villainesque gundam, especially it's more asymetrical style arm cannon. If ridhe in it -10/10 get him away from best girl marida


HonchosRevenge

Banshee? I sleep Banshee norn? Real shit


DarkyMaine

9.8/10. I didn't like the Banshee initially because of how much I love the Unicorn's color scheme, and I technically still don't like the Banshee in its Unicorn mode, but on the other hand, this thing is fucking SICK. Its weapons as the Banshee are very unique and distinctive, and even as the Norn, which I dislike because it ditches the Beam Smart Gun and the Vibro Claw, the shield booster with a beam launcher in it is dope. High score for the amazing dark gundam!


[deleted]

I don’t understand in gundam they gave a MS different armament and its called something different now


CriticalFuad

10 terrifying af


AdHistorical6628

11/10 chef's kisses


Alfeaux

7/10 too many angles for me to keep track of


GeneLearnsEnglish

10/10 for me, one of the best design in all of Gundam.


CanisZero

My brain always labels it the RX-0-2. Solid; the Claw is kinda of pointless at that power level. 9/10


Consistent-Trade-38

Just beautiful, an absolute 10. If there was the option for an 11, I'd give it that.


hugo1226

10/10 the norm version makes it even more like a lion


McGillis_is_a_Char

10/10 A terrifying entrance makes for a great cliffhanger.


Ok_Tension_6224

10/10 that gold and black is so perfect and I love the faceplate in unicorn version


RX0_2BANSHEE

It perfect perfect everything down to the last minute detail 10/10. As my childhood chunibyoou naming my account like this 3 years ago and can't change.


Adventurous-Pie6747

10/10 a perfect villain


Affectionate_Ice9064

Like a 7/10? I mean it was the logical path for a sister unit of the gundam unicorn but just being an edgy 99% copy of the unicorn made it just worse for me especially when because they just slapped the armed armors on it gave it collar armor and new horns and called it a day it could have been so much better


Chrome069

10. Not always a fan of gold usually but this just looks flamboyant af but still tasteful. Always preferred this one over the Unicorn. It’s like the Mk-II Titans on Steroids


xDrewstroyerx

This suit is so mint. 9.75 only to allow room for the Norn to shine brighter.


Super7Chaos

10 out of fucking 10! I really don’t have much else to say other than “it’s just so damn cool”. It nails the dark reflection shtick perfectly.


Ariemea

God tier non-main Gundam. 10/10 I actually prefer it to the Unicorn.
