Release Date: July 2024

Price: 8,910 Yen 

Premium Bandai announces the release of the new Black Knight Squad Rud-ro.A set. These kits use the same molds as Griffin Arbalest's "Emerald" unit and come in three colors: "Garnet," "Sapphire," and "Spinel," creating three different colored units of the Rud-ro.A.

The "Garnet" unit is piloted by Redelard Tradoll, the "Sapphire" unit by Daniel Harper, and the "Spinel" unit by Liu Shenqiang.

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.

Each of these mobile suits is outfitted with the groundbreaking "SEED Action System". This improved framework improves the suits' agility, allowing them to duplicate the poses  seen in the "Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Freedom" film.

Each suit is outfitted with an anti-mobile suit heavy sword, shield, and high-energy beam rifle.
