In honor of the Build Fighters series' successful run, Kirara's special GunPla, with her trademark pink color scheme, made its way through Premium Bandai, sharing molds with the HGUC released Gerbera Tetra.
The kit is also completed with the Gerbera Tetra's original weaponry and accessories.
After Kirara's defeat in the Gunpla tournament, her followers constructed the first unit, and Kirara herself constructed the second. The second unit appears to be the same as the first, with the exception of a redesigned head unit with the antenna placed in the middle of the forehead, akin to the commander antenna seen on some Zeon's MS.
AGX-04 Gerbera Tetra
Originally designed by mechanical designer Mika Akitaka, the Gerbera Tetra first appeared in the Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory OVA series. It was piloted by Cima Garahau.
The Earth Federation Forces initiated the Gundam Development Project in partnership with Anaheim Electronics as part of its military rehabilitation following the One Year War, with the purpose of producing new experimental Gundam-type mobile suits. The RX-78GP04G Gundam "Gerbera" was the anticipated fourth unit in this GP series. Its design attempted to imitate the Principality of Zeon's late-war high-speed mobile suit attack tactic, in which a single mobile suit was able to penetrate enemy forces and cause heavy damage, as typified by the MS-18E Kämpfer.
