The release of the Asshimar figure from the anime "Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam" as "ROBOT Spirits <SIDE MS> NRX-044 Asshimar ver. ANIME" from Bandai Spirits' "ROBOT Spirits" series has been a hot topic. We will explain Asshimar's role in the show and the figure.
◇ "Asshimar!" Transforms in 0.5 seconds
The Asshimar is a transformable mobile armor (MA) developed by the Earth Federation Forces and used by the Titans. It has the ability to fly on the ground, and can transform from a disc-shaped MA form designed for flight in the atmosphere into a mobile suit (MS) form. In MA form, it can fly at high speeds, taking advantage of its shape with low air resistance. The transformation time is only 0.5 seconds, and its flexible transformation mechanism gives it an advantage in the air.
It first appeared in episode 13 of the TV anime. Bran Blutarch of the Titans pilots an Asshimar and attacks Kennedy Spaceport. He fights against Kamille Bidan's Gundam Mk-II and Quattro Bajeena's Hyaku Shiki, and defeats Roberto's Rick Dias. In episode 14, he is hit by a transport plane piloted by Amuro Ray and retreats, which was also an impressive scene.
In episode 16, it is shot down by Amuro's Rick Dias, and Bran Blutarch's death cry of "Asshimar!" is well known. Quattro Bajeena's speech scene also appears in episode 37.
◇Figure that transforms into 3 forms
"ROBOT Spirits <SIDE MS> NRX-044 Asshimar ver. ANIME" is a large-sized figure that stands at about 16 cm tall. It has a gimmick that allows it to transform into three forms: MS (Mobile Suit), MA (Mobile Armor), and takeoff. It may be difficult to transform in 0.5 seconds, though...
The characteristic three-sided mono-eye is movable, and the sub-mono-eye depicted in the movie is also reproduced. A large beam rifle, a set of landing gear, a wrist storage deck, and more are included. It is a figure that focuses on its shape, movement, and transformation.
