From the blockbuster film, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Freedom comes the Lightning Buster Gundam! This new mobile suit will be joining the High Grade Cosmic Era (HGCE) model lineup.

True to its history, the Lightning Buster Gundam is armed with a variety of long-range weapons, making it a dangerous foe in any battle. Its weaponry includes missiles, beam cannons, and beam guns, which allow it to inflict devastating hits from a distance. Its capacity to lay down a devastatingly effective blanket of fire makes it an invaluable weapon in any strategic battle plan.

One of the Lightning Buster Gundam's distinguishing features is its internal structure, known as the "SEED Action System." This new framework is new to the GunPla models released for the SEED Freedom movie. It specifically designed to present the kit with next level articulation and flexibility.

The Lightning Buster Gundam's mobility is further boosted by its unique hip joint design. The connecting shafts on the left and right legs are distinct and adjustable, allowing for bold and dynamic positions. This function works particularly well with action poses, allowing fans to showcase the Gundam in a number of dramatic and combat-ready attitudes.

The model has elaborate details such as a waist-mounted beam gun that can be presented in deployed mode owing to barrel replacement parts. Furthermore, the huge cannon may be unfolded from its storage position, with moveable arm sections allowing it to be positioned over the shoulder and waist, ready for battle.

The Lightning Buster Gundam has the unique ability to expose the stored missile warhead by opening and closing the hatch on the back of the mobile suit.

The thorough attention to detail is visible in the color separation of the entire body, which is accomplished by the partitioning of components.

Compatible with the METEOR Unit

In a tribute to the Duel Blitz's versatility and adaptability, the Lightning Buster Gundam is designed to be compatible with the sold separately METEOR unit.

The METEOR unit can be obtained from the HG 1/144 Freedom Gundam + METEOR unit kit (regular release kit), or from P-Bandai: RG x HG 1/144 METEOR unit.
