Release Date: August 2025

Price: 3,740 Yen

Mafty’s high-mobility flagship mobile suit makes its bold entrance into the HG lineup! From Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway's Flash, the HG 1/144 Messer Type-F02 [Minelayer Equipment] launches with a newly molded rear skirt equipped with the defining Minelayer Unit, enhancing its guerrilla warfare capabilities.

This release captures the imposing silhouette and powerful detailing of the F02 variant—originally developed by Anaheim Electronics with technology drawn from legendary Zeon mobile suits like the Geara Doga and Sazabi, while retaining hints of Federation design elements.

Key Features:

• New Minelayer Unit: A detachable mine-dispersal module sits proudly on the rear skirt, now designed for full articulation and posing accuracy.
• Commander Head Unit: Includes a bonus head part for customizing your Messer into a commanding presence on the battlefield.
• Vectored Tail Stabilizer: Fully deployable in multiple directions to recreate dynamic in-air braking and control maneuvers.
• Enhanced Rear Skirt Articulation: Fold, flare, and fan out the rear skirt to bring your poses to life—faithful to the original mechanical design.

Flexible Action Range: Forward-leaning and dynamic poses are easier than ever thanks to a newly engineered frame.

Weapons Loadout:

• Long Beam Rifle
• Beam Saber
• Shield

Designed for high-speed raids, rapid descent, and mine deployment missions—often in tandem with the massive Galcezon unit—the Messer Type-F02 Minelayer combines brute force with tactical finesse. Lifting flares enhance hovering time, while thick armor and sub-thrusters keep it agile under pressure.
