Gundam Wing, Hajime variations



Here are some variations of Hajime Katoki's main mecha designs for the Gundam Wing series. He did the early design of these mechas and later on will be updated by other designers to finalize their shape. Here are respectively Heavyarms, Shenlong, Deathscythe, Sandrock and Wing custom.

Minor Mobile Suits design updates



Thanks to technology innovations, these two mobiles are updated to 3 dimensional designs.

Minor Mobile Suits designs



Lineart of the GM mobile and the colored Zaku are two recurring mechas designed by Katoki as the mass produced war machines for the armies of the Gundam Series.

Alex Gundam customs






















Here are the designs of the RX-78NT-1 "Alex" Gundam from Katoki, an actual tune-up of the original Gundam. The Alex Gundam is designed for the OVA series Gundam 0080 - War in the Pocket. A visible difference of this Gundam to the original RX-78 in terms of the weaponry is that the Alex has hand-rifles attached to its wrists that are covered within the blue plate.

Here are some sneak peeks of Katoki's main robot design MBV-04-G "Temjin" for Virtual-On.The first one is from the original game series on Sega Saturn while the second one is a port to Super Robot Wars W.

another approach, Virtual-On













Other than the popular animes and video games of the Gundam series also comes the video games of Cyber Troopers Virtual-On. All mecha designs are made by Hajime Katoki in this feature. This time, instead of having robots manned by humans, Virtual-On brings a world of self-aware robots in conflicts.
