The "Mobile Suit Gundam SEED FREEDOM" universe grows even larger with the highly anticipated release of the "Black Knight Squad Rud-ro.A" in a magnificent High-Grade (HG) model kit. This three-dimensional portrayal not only retains the essence of the renowned mobile suit, but also adds a new level of excitement for GunPla fans.

NAME ORIGIN

Rud-ro.A is named after the Hindu deity Rudra, which represents the deity's aggressive and destructive character. Rudra is associated with storms and violence, whereas Rud-ro.A represents great might on the battlefield. This approach emphasizes the mobile suit's function as a harbinger of devastation, echoing Rudra's stormy and awe-inspiring characteristics and complementing nicely with the film's themes of technology and human emotions in conflict.

Advanced "SEED Action System"

The "SEED Action System" is a key component of the Black Knight Squad Rud-ro.A design. This sophisticated internal framework is designed to replicate the most iconic and dramatic positions from the "Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Series." It enables collectors to recreate scenarios with unparalleled accuracy and detail, bringing the mobile suit to life.

Majestic Large Sword

This model's signature feature is its huge sword, which is the same height as the entire mobile suit. This impressive weapon is more than simply a static attachment; it can be gracefully installed on the backpack's arm, demonstrating the Black Knight Squad Rud-ro.A's fighting readiness.

Versatile weaponry

The Black Knight Squad Rud-ro.A also carries a beam rifle, which is a staple of Gundam armory. In addition to its adaptability, this beam gun may be simply holstered on the back skirt armor guaranteeing that the mobile suit is constantly ready for any combat scenario.

Innovative Beam Cloak

One of this model's most distinguishing features is its beam cloak. Made of a soft plastic with gradient printing, it gives realism and depth to the model. This beam shroud is more than just a cosmetic element; it demonstrates the thorough attention to detail that went into the design of this model.

Precision in Detail.

The smaller parts of the Black Knight Squad Rud-ro.A are color-coded by molding color, making assembly easier and ensuring a good finish even for people who don't paint their models. This coloring technique demonstrates the consideration paid to both expert modelers and newbies to the hobby.

To enhance the building and display experience, the Black Knight Squad Rud-ro.A comes with an array of accessories:

• Large Sword (tentative name) x 1
• Shield x 1
• Beam Rifle x 1
• Clear Sheet x 1
• Seal x 1

These extras not only enhance the aesthetic appeal, but also allow several alternatives for modification and presentation, making the assembling process a truly exciting and creative one.
