A visually striking production cel and matching original production drawing of the Altron Gundam, the evolved form of Wufei Chang's original Shenlong Gundam.

Altron Gundam first appears after Shenlong is captured and refitted by the rebel forces of the White Fang. Unlike its predecessor, Altron sports twin extendable dragon arms, upgraded beam weaponry, and a more aggressive stance, mirroring Wufei's shifting ideology and growing sense of justice. Its name, derived from "二頭龍" ("two-headed dragon"), reflects both this upgrade and its new mythic intensity.

This cel was produced during the golden age of hand-painted cel animation in Japan, just before the industry transitioned to digital techniques. As such, it embodies a level of tactile, manual artistry that is now lost to time.

Altron Gundam is seen in a powerful close-up framed by dynamic energy lines. Matched with its original production drawing (douga), this setup encapsulates the intensity and grandeur of mecha animation at its cinematic peak. They are both labelled "A35E". The matching douga drawing reveals the careful planning and precision behind this moment. Hand-drawn in graphite with colour pencil overlays and striking red slashes indicating flare lines and FX cues, it captures the vital tension between control and chaos - essential to the narrative arc of Wufei and his mobile suit's evolution. The cel and drawing together showcase both the final image seen onscreen and the hidden process behind it. Dimensions: 25 x 27cm (9.75" x 10.5")
