SD BB Senshi

Tekki Musha Master Zeta

Release 1997.2
Price ¥500

Straight build + Stickers

This kit is the SD Tekki Musha Master Zeta, released as part of the Shin SD Sengokuden Ipadaishogun series. Its defining feature is the three types of Juutetsu (beast + iron) armor — Juuyoku, Juuga, and Juukyaku — mounted on the head and both shoulders. You can also remove the Juutetsu armor to put it in light armor mode.

The weapons included are the Kousenjin and the Tetsuzando. The Tetsuzando, which looks like a wrench, lets you turn a rotating screw to open or close the tip. It also has a spring gimmick built in — load one of the Juutetsu armor pieces onto the tip, press the button, and the recoil launches it. That said, it doesn't shoot out with the satisfying force you'd expect from a missile or anything like that. You can also do a slight transformation of the body and rearrange the weapons to set it up in Juutetsu Attack Form, and thanks to this transformation gimmick, there's an added joint that lets the shoulders fold backward.

The cute little Juutetsu armor pieces and the transformation into flight mode are the highlights of this kit — overall it feels like a solid, no-frills SD Musha Gundam. :-)
