"Hey Devil Gundam... Tremble in fear when you see this shield's crest!"

Ok, I confess; I happen to be one of the few people in the world who'll admit to being a fan of G-Gundam. Say what you will about the atrocious spin-off series, but it had some decent aspects. Although it lacked the traditional clashing of armies of man-powered robots as seen in previous Gundam installments, the hilarious ethnic stereotypes made up for it (and then some)! As the series tells, every country in the future has a noble Mobile Suit to represent its rich culture in the Gundam championships. America had its flashy cowboy from New York City, Russia had its horrid prison inmate with a unibrow, etc.

Welp, Sweden, on the other hand got the short end of the stick during the cartoon series. Sweden, an awesome country who's two chief exports are modular furniture and hot sluts, as well as being a nation to boast a history of spawning both Vikings and Dolph Lundgren somehow ended up having a crappy looking Gundam which resembled a Japanese schoolgirl, piloted by a tomboy with blue hair! Why did this happen? Well, I care about the Swedes so much that I designed my own LEGO Mobile Suit in lieu of the laughable "Nobel Gundam". Fear not, fellow meatball eaters, for I have the next best thing to come out of Stockholm since ABBA and Stockholm Syndrome itself: The Fjord Gundam of Neo-Sweden!

Personally, I'm not Swedish (despite the fact that my last name sounds very Scandanavian), however I have common anncestors with them at some point in the family tree. Did you know the Swedish colonist Jonas Jonasson Bronk, founder of The Bronx, New York was one of my kin? Neat, huh?! Anyway, back to the robot; Fjord Gundam has fully movable joints in his arms, shoulders, elbows, knees, and so forth, and even comes equipped with a double-barrelled pulse cannon!

Let's pretend a second version of G-Gundam comes into play. In the new edition, Fjord Gundam doesn't take shit from anybody... Especially not some spikey-haired punk with shiney fingers! The Gundam, piloted by the great Swedish contender named Ingmar Brunkrissla, is a red-bearded man with a longboat tattooed across his beefy chest! He's ready to pop-in an Yngwie Malmsteen CD in the cockpit music player then layeth the smackdown on those jerks from Neo-Belgium and Neo-Armenia!

Constructed of bricks resembling the colors of its nation's flag, this Swedish Gundam took about a week of building time. The only hard part, really, was trying to come up with a good method of attaching the upper torso to the waist. The first set of legs were too short and weak, thus the heavy torso often toppled itself over. I had to spend an entire night of reconstructing the legs and hip area to be much sturdier.
