Within the Mobile Suit Gundam universe, few units have captured the imagination like the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam. Conceived as the "Beast of Possibility," its design philosophy culminates in the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam Perfectibility Divine, an amalgamation representing the platform's evolutionary endpoint by combining every "Armed Armor" piece with the "Full Armor" configuration's firepower.
This pinnacle of design is materialized in the market through the PG 1/60 DIVINE EXPANSION SET for UNICORN GUNDAM PERFECTIBILITY, a product exclusive to Premium Bandai (P-Bandai). Its status places it outside the traditional retail circuit, making it a coveted item for collectors. The existence of this expansion set manifests a refined Bandai business model, which uses the successful Perfect Grade (PG) Unicorn Gundam mold as a modular frame to build a series of profitable, staggered releases aimed at the most dedicated segment of its fanbase.

Set Contents

Features and Assembly
Assembling the Divine expansion onto the PG Perfectibility culminates in a model with an overwhelming presence, its wingspan compared by the modeling community to that of the gigantic Neo Zeong mobile armor. However, this imposing aesthetic brings significant technical challenges.
The base PG Unicorn kit is known for its instability, earning the nickname "hand grenade" because parts tend to detach easily, especially during the transformation between Unicorn and Destroy modes. The Divine expansion exacerbates this issue, as the additional weight exerts considerable stress on the internal frame, making stability a primary concern. The result is a magnificent, yet primarily static, display piece.
The set is compatible with the LED unit, but doesn't illuminate expansion parts. Image via P-Bandai.
Although the set is compatible with Bandai's official LED unit (sold separately), it does not illuminate any of the Armed Armor parts or the Divine expansion components. This gap has been capitalized on by third-party manufacturers offering alternative LED kits with more features, such as RGB color changing, which are often the preferred choice for builders aiming to achieve the model's maximum visual potential.
Mobile Suit Overview: RX-0 Unicorn Gundam Perfectibility Divine
This unit is not canonical to the main novel series or the OVA animation; its origin is a "fanservice" creation for video game appearances and promotional shorts. Its existence is driven by its visual appeal and enormous commercial potential. It represents the ultimate physical embodiment of the "Beast of Possibility" theme. The "Divine" form is the final evolution that takes the Unicorn Gundam Perfectibility configuration (which already combines the weapons of its sister units, Banshee and Phenex) and adds the heavy conventional armament and propellant tanks of the Full Armor Unicorn, including the Hyper Bazooka, Beam Gatling Gun, and large rear thrusters.
The large rear thrusters extend the mobile suit's operational time and mobility. Image via P-Bandai.
| Component / Weapon | Origin (Unit/Variant) | Tactical Function |
|---|---|---|

| Armed Armor BS | RX-0 Unicorn Gundam 02 Banshee | Long-range particle beam cannon with advanced sensors. |
| Armed Armor XC | RX-0[N] Banshee Norn | Back unit that amplifies pilot affinity and generator output. |
| Armed Armor DE | RX-0 Unicorn Gundam 03 Phenex | Shield with integrated thrusters, I-Field generator, and remote weapon capability. |
| Hyper Beam Javelin | Unicorn Gundam Perfectibility | Multifunctional polearm combining beam spear and axe capabilities. |
| Beam Magnum | RX-0 Unicorn Gundam | High-power beam rifle for devastating firepower. |
| Hyper Bazooka | Full Armor Unicorn Gundam | Large-caliber ballistic weapon, effective against ships and I-Field defenses. |
| Beam Gatling Gun | Full Armor Unicorn Gundam | High-rate-of-fire beam machine gun for suppressive fire. |
