INITIAL RELEASE

Release Date: November 2022

Price: 4,950 Yen

Originally announced in 2022 as a Gundam World Contrast event exclusive kit. The kit uses the same molds as the regular released MG 1/100 Aile Strike Gundam Ver. RM and is made of ECOPLA (Eco-Plastic) materials for its primary armor, with Neon Pink highlights on certain of its parts to honor the event.

Since the event began, several kits with the same motif have been revealed and released to continue Bandai Namco's Gundam Recycle Project.

In Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, the Aile Strike is a high mobility prototype mobile suit. Before being handed down to ace pilot Mu La Flaga, Kira Yamato served as its principal pilot.

Since it offers the most adaptability, the Aile Striker is the most often used Striker pack for the Strike. The Aile Striker's potent vernier thrusters enable the Strike Gundam to transform into an all-purpose combat mobile suit with more speed and maneuverability than its base configuration.

The thrusters are strong, but their performance inside Earth's atmosphere is insufficient for actual flying capabilities. They do, however, improve the Strike's jumping ability and briefly allow it to glide in the air, making it capable of taking on mobile suits on Guuls (Guuru) that are flying low. The Aile Striker pack equips the GAT-X105 Strike Gundam with two beam sabers in addition to its basic armament.
