Finally completing Bandai's Master Grade (MG) release of all three "Project V" Mobile Suits, here's the long-awaited 1/100-scale plastic kit release of Guntank done in perfect MG justice! A fusion of a tank with the upper body and arms of a Mobile Suit, the Guntank was the first Earth Federation Mobile Suit produced under "Project V." It served admirably protecting White Base and fighting alongside Gundam and Guncannon during the One Year War in the 1979-80 "Mobile Suit Gundam" anime. This Master Grade release of the prototype artillery Mobile Suit comes in snap-fit plastic parts molded in color and will be fully poseable upon completion. It features suspension caterpillar treads that rotate realistically and has suspension arms inside the treads that allow for it to be displayed traversing over uneven terrains, plus its head console lights up through the use of an included LED unit (two coin batteries required, not included). Guntank also sports a Core Block System whereby the included FF-X7 Core Fighter can transform and dock inside its torso. It utilizes the same Core Fighter as MG RX-78-2 Gundam Ver.2.0 and MG G-Fighter, which means Gundan's upper body can be attached to Guntank's treads to form Gundam Tank, while Guntank's upper body can be attached to G-Fighter to form a high mobility-type Guntank! Also packed in this set are same-scale pilots consisting of three sitting-pose pilots (Hayato, Ryu, and a regular pilot), and standing-pose figures of Bright, Mirai, Ryu, and Hayato. Dry-transfer decals and marking stickers are provided.
