P-Bandai: MG 1/100 MBF-02VV Gundam Astray Turn Red [REISSUE]
Release Date: November 2024 [regular retail release reissue]
Price: 7,700 Yen

INITIAL RELEASE
Release Date: February 2018 
Price: 7,560 Yen


Premium Bandai has officially announced the MG 1/100 Gundam Astray Turn Red, a striking variant of Gundam Astray series of MS from the photo-novel Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny Astray R. This high-quality GunPla model is now available not only as a Premium Bandai exclusive but also in select retail stores. Adding to its appeal, the kit includes vibrant, full-color box art that stands out on shelves.

The Gundam Astray Turn Red was created by Valerio Valeri as a custom mobile suit. Despite being tailored for his use, the suit operates autonomously through the combat AI known as "80." While Valerio occupies the cockpit, the AI manages all piloting functions, ensuring peak combat efficiency.

The mobile suit incorporates a unique head unit and a specialized backpack, utilizing spare parts from the MBF-P0X Gundam Astray Noir. Its striking red color scheme reverses the iconic look of the MBF-P02 Gundam Astray Red Frame, earning it the name "Turn Red."

Armaments and Features
The Gundam Astray Turn Red is equipped with a versatile arsenal, making it a formidable presence on the battlefield:
  • Head-Mounted CIWS: Provides effective close-range defense.
  • Tactical Arms: Mounted on its back, these powerful weapons enhance its combat versatility.
  • Standard Armaments: The suit can wield the same beam rifle, beam sabers, and shield as the Red Frame.
Additional features include extra power packs for the Tactical Arms, akin to those used by the MBF-P03secondL Gundam Astray Blue Frame Second L.

Unique Capabilities

Designed for strategic coordination, the Gundam Astray Turn Red operates alongside the CAT1-VGR Hyperion GR and CAT1-VGL Hyperion GL. Both units are AI-controlled and function as its protectors during combat scenarios. To enhance teamwork, the suit incorporates the Trio System, allowing seamless collaboration between the three mobile suits.

ACCESSORIES
  • Tactical Arms x 2
  • Beam rifle x 1
  • Shield x 1

    "Bandai has more important kits to make."

  5. Sometimes I feel like the odd one out because I really liked SEED, but I never understood the appeal of the Astrays.
