grom Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, PMX-001 Palace Athene is a high-output mobile suit developed under Paptimus Scirocco’s design philosophy, built to bring heavy fire-support capability to the battlefield. Its oversized armor, broad shoulders, and weapon-rich configuration reflect a focus on sustained offense and battlefield control rather than speed or elegance.
The HGUC Palace Athene translates this iconic design into 1/144 scale with a build approach focused on stability, proportion accuracy, and mechanical clarity. The kit is engineered to hold confident poses thanks to its wide stance and balanced frame, while the layered armor sections preserve the Athene’s dense, heavy look without making the assembly overly complicated. Clean molding and solid part separation help the suit’s shape read strongly even with a simple out-of-box build.
What builders tend to appreciate most is how the Palace Athene’s unique silhouette and heavy presence define the finished model. It stands out immediately next to more traditional humanoid suits, and its Zeta-era identity makes it a perfect companion piece for Titans/Neo Zeon displays or Scirocco-themed lineups. A highly characterful HGUC that delivers mass, presence, and UC personality in a single build.
