The verdict

This is Bandai's 2008 follow-up to the original Lancelot kit, done as a Mechanic Collection release rather than a graded Gunpla-style kit.

Scalemates lists it as a "new parts" release built on the Lancelot's existing tooling, and that tracks with what the Conquista actually is in the show, an upgraded Lancelot rather than a ground-up new frame. As a shelf piece it captures that upgrade well, the added cannon mount and bulked-out silhouette read clearly the moment it's built.

Best for: Code Geass R2 fans who want Suzaku's Knight of Seven upgrade specifically, or anyone building the Lancelot family lineage on one shelf

The full review

What it is

The Lancelot Conquista is the R2-era upgrade Suzaku receives after being named Knight of Seven, and this kit represents it as a 1/35 Mechanic Collection release that reuses the base Lancelot's core tooling with new parts for the added Conquista Unit, the blue cannon mount fitted to its Float System. Like its sibling kits in this line, the box holds a plastic sprue and a sticker sheet, snap-fit with no cement needed, and the finished model reads as a taller, more heavily armed Lancelot rather than a different-looking suit entirely.

The catch

Because this is a "new parts" release layered on the original Lancelot tooling, the underlying joint engineering is the same simple pin-and-socket setup as the base kit, not a redesigned frame to match the bigger Conquista Unit weapon. Posing range is limited by design, this is a display piece first. As with the other kits in this line, dedicated English build coverage for this specific 2008 release is thin, so treat the caveats here as grounded in the kit's spec sheet rather than a stack of hands-on reports.

Who it's for

Grab this if you want the specific R2 version of Suzaku's Knightmare, cannon mount and all, or if you're collecting the full Lancelot lineage (base Lancelot, Conquista, and the later Vincent line) as one connected shelf. Skip it if posability is a priority, the joint engineering hasn't changed from the original despite the added hardware.

The build story

What the build is actually like, and the engineering worth knowing about.

Assembly follows the same snap-fit, no-cement pattern as the rest of this line. Because it's built on the existing Lancelot tooling, most of the core body goes together exactly like the base kit, with the new Conquista-specific parts (the cannon mount and Float System hardware) added on top.

The standout addition is the Conquista Unit itself, the cannon mount that gives the suit its name and its bulkier profile in R2. It's molded rather than left as a sticker or paint job, so the silhouette upgrade is real plastic, not just a color change.

Lore & trivia

01In the show, the Lancelot Conquista is issued to Suzaku Kururugi after he's named Knight of Seven, one of the Holy Britannian Empire's elite Knights of the Round.
02The suit's name comes from the "Conquista Unit," the blue cannon mount fitted to its Float System, which Bandai and fan translations sometimes render as "Conquester."
03Its optional loadout in the anime includes an F.L.E.I.J.A. Launcher, tied to the story's escalating superweapon arms race in the back half of R2.
04The Conquista later develops into the Lancelot Albion, the unit Bandai eventually gave a full modern HG release in 2022.
