BTW, input on which one to choose between #5 - 7 are welcome.
Tachikoma is a smallish kit for the price. And there are a couple
areas I would wish for better detailing. The colors are OK, but not
100% accurate. It's non-humanoid, which never gets a fair shake in
price and quality. The Motoko figure is barely servicable.
Methuss is an MS only a Zeta fan could love. Supposingly it's the
prototype (more suitably a full-size mock-up) of Zeta's transform
scheme, but that's one of the most ridiculous back-stories of a mecha.
It's far easier to connect Methuss to Mega Rider than to Zeta.

The kit is designed for the MA mode, the MS mode looks weird as the
lower legs are too big and the upper legs are way too thin. The
gimmicks are decent. But I am having a lot of bad luck building it,
made a bunch of newb mistakes: used the wrong type of paint for the
cables and dissolved one of them with the thinner, broken the handle
off on of the beam pistols, and it's only half finished yet.
Palace Athens looks like a great kit. But the green color looks a bit
on the spring side rather than the late summer color.
As I said I like Murasame a refreshing color scheme on the best (so
far) implementation of a Gundamized Valkyrie. I brought it for the
fighter mode. BTW the kit uses a lighter shade of gray than the
lineart (on MAHQ), a good chioce. Destiny Gundam, gawd is that the
title mech of the show? That's a huge step backward from Strike and
Impulse Gundam.
My suggestion would be Tachikoma, Palace Athens, R606 and Murasame, in order.
Actually I am giving E7 models a pass myself unless they put out
either the military grunt or a full-transform kit.
