The lower legs look too big, and it just looks weird overall.

The protagonist(the black haired kid I assume) kinda gives a Setsuna F Seiei vibe. I'd be surprised if he turned out to be a brat.

The machine itself is incomplete in-universe. It's missing a lot of its armor plating.

Also yeah, its feet are huge. :k There's already Gunpla advertisements for it out, and they show the skeletal frame of the Barbatos, and its feet are much longer than usual for mobile suits.

Synopsis from Mechatalk:

Mechatalk said:
It is a world roughly three hundred years after the end of a great conflict known as the "Calamity War".

The Earth Sphere lost its previous system of government and a new world was built with a new ruling system. While a transient peace had come, the embers of a new conflict was born on Mars, far removed from Earth.

The main character, a young boy named Mikazuki Augus, belongs to the civilian security company Chryse Guard Security (CGS). He is tasked with guarding Cuderia Aina Bernstein, a young girl who is trying to make the Martian city of Chryse independent from the rule of one of Earth's powers.

However, the CGS comes under attack from the armed organization Gjallarhorn trying to nip the bud of insurrection, so Mikazuki and the children start withdrawing as a decoy. The leader of the boys, Orga Itsuka, takes advantage of this occasion to rise in revolt against the adults who oppressed them and stages a coup d'etat.

Mikazuki, who was entrusted to fend off the Gjallarhorn by Orga, takes up the fight by using the Gundam Barbatos, a mobile suit from the "Calamity War" that was utilized as a nuclear reactor by the CGS.

I've seen some trailers for it, and some of the MS look like Knightmare Frames, others look like Armored Core MTs. Heck the Gundam itself looks like it has parts taken from the AC garage, most notably the arms and body.

There's a princess type AND a regular girl with a crush on the protagonist? I already know where this is going...

Not like this wasn't to be expected, anyway. Gundam loves its princesses and girls-next-door.
It's Sayla vs Fraw all over again, if you think about it.
