The official box art highlights the kit's aggressive design and expected dynamic poses.

"The wait is over. The Beast of Mars is finally getting the Master Grade it deserves."

The official Bandai Hobby site has finally revealed images of the highly anticipated "MG 1/100 Gundam Barbatos Lupus", confirming its release for November 22, 2025, with a suggested retail price of 7,150 Yen. This kit justifies its acquisition through a profound renovation of the Gundam Frame, designed specifically to capture the mecha's "brutal elegance". The internal structure has received critical updates, not only in the shoulder cylinders but especially in the waist, which now offers superior anterior and posterior inclination range, allowing for much more organic and aggressive poses.

Engineered for Combat

The improved articulation extends to the lower extremities, where the rear knee armor slides in synchronization with the leg movement, while the foot and heel components move independently to eliminate mechanical interference. Prioritizing functionality alongside stability, the backpack incorporates an oscillating mechanism and auxiliary arms that deploy without the need for parts swapping. The set is completed with a robust arsenal including the Sword Mace, twin maces (with their respective mount connectors), 200 mm cannons with rotation and slide mechanisms, and scale figures of pilot Mikazuki Augus.

ASW-G-08 Gundam Barbatos Lupus Overview

The ASW-G-08 Gundam Barbatos Lupus represents a significant evolution from its predecessor, emerging from a complete reconstruction at the Teiwaz workshops in Saisei following severe combat damage. Named after the Latin term for "wolf", this Mobile Suit was redesigned to align with the sharp combat instincts of its pilot, Mikazuki Augus, via the Alaya-Vijnana system. Technical modifications included limb extension—particularly the arms—to enhance sensory synchronization and response capabilities, alongside updated thrusters for optimized maneuverability. Its exterior armor features predominantly curved surfaces, designed to deflect enemy impacts and favor a high-speed, melee-centric combat style.
