Its advanced poseability is achieved through the "evolved Gundam Frame engineering," allowing a wide range of movements and the recreation of dynamic poses, ideal for displaying this action figure. The frame also incorporates an "expansion mechanism for more dynamic movements and poses," which elevates the model kit building experience. Manufactured with PS (polystyrene) plastic components, the kit promises remarkable color separation, reducing the need for painting for modeling hobby enthusiasts.

The internal mechanisms of this anime robot thoroughly reproduce the complex Gundam Frame. The pistons on the shoulders are recreated, and a "rotating mechanism" has been installed for the Mobile Suit's Ahab reactor, adding an impressive level of realism. An expansion set for the kit is being planned, which will surely excite Gundam collectors.

Mobile Suit Summary: ASW-G-08 Gundam Barbatos Lupus

ASW-G-08 Gundam Barbatos Lupus: The Reconstruction of a Beast

The ASW-G-08 Gundam Barbatos Lupus is an improved iteration of the original Gundam Barbatos, the main Mobile Suit from the series Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans. After sustaining combat damage, the Gundam Barbatos was sent to Teiwaz's Saisei workshop for a complete reconstruction and upgrade, receiving its new designation, "Lupus," meaning wolf in Latin, reflecting its more aggressive nature.

This robot underwent re-engineering to adapt to the combat instincts and experience of its pilot, Mikazuki Augus. Its overall mobility was improved, and its thrusters were updated for optimal battlefield performance. One notable modification was the lengthening of its limbs, especially the arms, to harmonize with Mikazuki's spatial perception under the Alaya-Vijnana system, allowing him almost instinctive control. The frame components of the arm and leg joints were replaced with parts reproduced by Teiwaz, ensuring durability and functionality. The Barbatos Lupus was reconfigured for high-speed close-quarters combat, making it a formidable war machine. Its armor is distinguished by predominantly curved surfaces, designed to deflect enemy impacts, making it a design that is both aesthetic and functional.
