Together with the 1/144 Takemikaduchi Type-00R.

This kit is the 1/144 Takemikaduchi Type-00R The IRG's 16th Battle Commander, released as part of the Muv-Luv series. It's based on the 16th Battalion Commander unit that participated in "Operation Lucifer" in the story. The standout feature is the massive Prototype Type-99 Electromagnetic Projection Cannon it comes equipped with.

The main body itself is completely identical in sculpt to the previous 1/144 Takemikaduchi, with only the molded color changed to blue. The existing assault rifle and great sword are also included, and it still delivers solid articulation and joint strength. The newly added Prototype Type-99 Electromagnetic Projection Cannon attaches firmly to the body in backpack form, and you can position it fairly comfortably by rotating the sub-arm connected to the backpack. It connects to the backpack via a rubber ammo belt and fits nicely into the hole in the hand. The body joints are also on the sturdy side, so despite being a large weapon, you can pull off relatively stable poses without much trouble.

With this kit, you'll really just want to take a close look at the newly added electromagnetic projection cannon — and if you're a fan of the Muv-Luv series or just love big oversized weapons in general, this seems like a pretty fun kit to enjoy. :-)
