Release Date: TBD
Price: 5,280 yen
BANDAI SPIRITS has announced a new Master Grade GunPla based on one of the most recognizable mobile suits from After War Gundam X. The MG 1/100 Gundam X Divider was revealed at the 64th All Japan Model & Hobby Show and will be released as a Premium Bandai exclusive.
The new GunPla celebrates the 30th anniversary of After War Gundam X and is priced at 5,280 yen. A release date has not yet been announced. BANDAI SPIRITS is expected to reveal additional product images and release details once the Premium Bandai listing goes live.
The Gundam X Divider is a heavily modified version of the GX-9900 Gundam X. After suffering a devastating defeat against the RMSN-008 Bertigo, the original Gundam X was left with much of its equipment severely damaged. With restoring the mobile suit to its original configuration no longer practical, Kid Salsamille rebuilt it using spare parts and salvaged equipment from his collection.
The resulting mobile suit was named Gundam X Divider after its new primary weapon, the Divider.
One of the biggest changes was the loss of the Gundam X's Satellite Cannon. With the system damaged beyond repair and no replacement components available, Kid replaced the original backpack with a new unit designed around the Divider's equipment.
The new backpack carries two large beam swords and two energy tanks that extend the Gundam X Divider's flight time. Each energy pod can provide up to 12 hours of operation. It also includes a storage attachment for the Divider, the mobile suit's distinctive new weapon.
The Divider itself is a multifunctional shield assembled by Kid from spare equipment. When mounted on the Gundam X Divider's back, its built-in thrusters allow the mobile suit to fly. It can also be held horizontally and used as a shield while providing additional propulsion.
The shield opens to reveal six sets of triple beam cannons known as the Harmonica Cannon, giving the Gundam X Divider a powerful ranged attack option alongside its defensive capabilities.
Kid also developed a new beam machine gun to replace the destroyed Shield Buster Rifle. The weapon was constructed around a pair of battleship-grade beam cannons, providing the Gundam X Divider with a higher rate of fire and greater firepower than its original rifle.
Despite the extensive modifications, the Gundam X Divider retained the Vulcan guns built into its torso.
Good lord! Finally!
