The RMS-179 GM II Semi-Striker, a rugged close-combat variant of the GM II, arrives as a Master Grade kit featuring newly molded parts and its distinctive desert-toned color scheme. 

Developed by modifying a standard RMS-179 GM II using spare components available at Torrington Base, the Semi-Striker was reconfigured specifically for close-quarters combat. While it retains the base performance and specifications of the GM II, its operating system was rewritten to prioritize melee engagements, giving the unit a more aggressive combat role.

This Master Grade release faithfully recreates the Semi-Striker’s distinctive features with newly molded parts, including the reinforced shoulder armor add-ons and the small shield mounted to the outside of the left forearm. The additional armor plating enhances the mobile suit’s rugged look while emphasizing its specialization in close-range combat. Its desert color scheme is reproduced through carefully molded color-separated parts.

A selection of weapons further highlights the unit’s combat style. The Twin Beam Spear, the Semi-Striker’s signature weapon originally used by the RGM-79FP GM Striker, is newly sculpted and features a transformation gimmick that allows the beam blades to be displayed vertically or horizontally. The kit also includes a newly molded Bazooka, which can be held securely with a two-handed grip, as well as a Beam Rifle for ranged combat. A standard Beam Saber is included as well, expanding the display possibilities for dynamic battle scenes.

To complete the presentation, the kit comes with water-transfer decals featuring unit markings and numbering, allowing builders to recreate the Semi-Striker’s battlefield-ready appearance.

Included Weapons:

• Beam Saber
• Beam Rifle
• Twin Beam Spear
• Bazooka
