MG GAT-X105E+AQM/E-X09S Strike Noir Gundam

The GAT-X105E+AQM/E-X09S Strike Noir Gundam is a combination of Actaeon Industries’ GAT-X105E Strike Gundam E and their latest development, the AQM/E-X09S Noir Striker. Actaeon designed the AQM/E-X09S Noir Striker as the successor to the AQM/E-M1 IWSP but focused on close-quarters combat instead of overwhelming firepower. The GAT-X105E+AQM/E-X09S Strike Noir Gundam would require a highly-skilled pilot at the controls to utilize the full extent of its new equipment. The GAT-X105E+AQM/E-X09S Strike Noir Gundam limited ranged combat abilities left it vulnerable to enemy attacks, often requiring fire support from the GAT-X1022 Blu Duel Gundam and the GAT-X103AP Verde Buster Gundam during operations.

• 57mm High Energy Beam Rifle (Grenade Launcher) x2

Articulation –

The MG Strike Noir Gundam borrows most of its construction from the original MG Aile Strike Gundam released way back in 2003! The MG Strike Noir Gundam features a complete internal frame with a functioning cockpit that reveals the 1/100 Sven Cal Bayang seated within! This model features double-jointed knees and elbows, providing a wide range of motion to create dynamic poses. The MG Strike Noir Gundam includes a small sheet of color-correcting stickers to help recreate the Mobile Suit’s proper coloring right out of the box!

Weapons and Other Notable Attributes –

The MG Strike Noir Gundam includes a pair of M8F-SB1 “Shorty” Beam Rifles as its primary weapons. These close-range beam weapons can destroy an enemy Mobile Suit in a single blast and will attach to the Mobile Suit’s side skirt when not in use. The MG Strike Noir Gundam also features two MR-Q10 “Fragarach 3” Beam Blades attached to its wing sections. Bandai provided two distinct beam effects to recreate this equipment’s activation. Bandai also included two PVC wires to display the Mobile Suit as it launches its EQS1358 Rocket Anchors. The MG Strike Noir Gundam also features two grenade launcher-equipped Beam Rifles, the same weapon used by the GAT-X102 Duel Gundam Assault Shroud. Builders will also find the GAT-X105 Strike Gundam‘s Beam Rifle included alongside this model.
