The striking box art for the HG 1/144 GQuuuuuuX (Endymion Unit Awakened).
In the history of the Universal Century, some of the most dangerous machines were never meant to be known. The HG 1/144 Gundam QuuuuuuX "Endymion Unit Awakened" is the physical result of a technological heist that changed the course of Zeon's Newtype research. This machine exists because Char Aznable successfully captured the RX-78-02 "White Gundam" data during the early days of U.C. 0079, long before the Federation could even deploy it in mass combat. Zeon engineers didn’t just copy the data; they twisted it into a weaponized taboo.
A New Era of High Grade Engineering
For builders, this January 2026 release is a significant milestone. As a completely new mold, the kit is designed specifically to handle the complex requirements of its "Awakened" state. The head unit is the focal point of this engineering; while it features an integrated opening and closing gimmick to simulate the system’s initial activation, Bandai has included an interchangeable head part to ensure the fully "Awakened" sensor array is perfectly represented for high-end displays.

This attention to detail extends to the kit's articulation. To simulate a mobile suit that moves at the speed of thought—driven by the pilot’s brainwaves rather than physical controls—the torso and hip joints utilize a modern multi-axis system. This allows for the predatory, hyper-dynamic poses that define the GQuuuuuuX in combat.
The Omega Drive and the Zeknova Phenomenon
The technical soul of this Gunpla is the Omega Psycommu System, also known as the Endymion Unit. Unlike the Alpha-type systems used by earlier Zeon suits to control remote funnels, the Omega-type enables the pilot’s own nervous system to seize full command of the mobile suit itself.
Bandai brings this terrifying technology to life using a specialized PET effect sheet. This high-clarity material replicates the Zeknova phenomenon, a localized psychowave aura that manifests when the pilot unlocks the Omega Drive. This aura attaches directly to the backpack, creating a halo effect that distinguishes this kit from any other HG in your collection.
