Akatsuki Gundam (Shiranui Gear) SEED FREEDOM Ver." is expected to be released in September 2024. This product is only available at PREMIUM BANDAI, Bandai’s official online store.
ORB-01 Akatsuki Gundam is the flagship mobile suit of the Op Army built by the Op state-owned enterprise "Shuguangsha". This machine is designed based on the data of "GAT-X105 Attack Gundam", and can replace the "Great Eagle Equipment" used in the atmosphere and the "Shiranui Equipment" used in space. Akatsuki attaches great importance to the defense system. The dazzling golden paint on the entire machine is not a decoration, but the mirror armor "Yatamiror" that can reflect light beams. Even if it is shot by the "positron cannon" mounted on the battleship, it is almost unscathed. The Akatsuki Gundam that reappeared in the movie version of "Mobile Suit Gundam SEED FREEDOM" was once again piloted by M. La Fraga . Although it was not improved like other re-appearing units, it was also equipped with a new reinforced weapon "Zeus" "Type plug-in equipment" is active on the battlefield.
"METAL ROBOT Soul Akatsuki Gundam (Shiranui Equipment) SEED FREEDOM Ver." is modified from the regular version released in 2020. The entire machine has a newly designed body logo corresponding to the world peace monitoring organization "Compass" to which the theatrical version belongs. Printing and color matching of some aircraft have also been adjusted. The most changed part is the display stand, which adopts the new design of the "METAL ROBOT Soul" series in recent years, has a stronger movable stand, and redesigned the hot stamping pattern. The rest of the parts are designed the same as the regular version, so the separately sold " Zeus-type plug-in equipment " cannot be equipped.
The golden armor is made through vacuum evaporation technology. The thickness of the film layer is thinner than that of ordinary electroplating, giving the armor surface a dazzling golden color. Joints that are prone to wear are made using electrolytic plating with a higher film strength. Many frames are made of alloy material, and the exposed frames on the chest and shoulders are electrostatically painted to enhance the heavy texture of the alloy material. The armament part includes the "Type 73J2 trial double-headed beam sword", the Type 72D5 beam rifle "Hundred Thunder", the Type 71 trial shield, and the "M531R induced mobile beam turret system" that is characteristic of Shiranui's equipment, and comes with special special effects parts Reproduce the firing state of the seven turrets.
