On Tuesday I saw a kit for this guy. After digging around, I finally stumbled on his stats. Thing is, it doesn't say anything abut it's back story, nor does it explain the cool weapon it had, a beam rifle with a second handle where the shoulder stock normally goes, which activates 2 beam sword blades, 1 above & the other below the main barrel. Other than that, it's looks pretty much the same as the other Gundam Astrays, only green.

So, I'm curious, anyone got any info on this thing? I've got a few Gundam Seed Astray Manga, but it hasn't shown up in there at all, heck it wasn't even in th ruined storage room when Red & Blue were found. I don't know why though, maybe it was being tested when the attach happened...

Dont hold me to this, but i belive that it belonged to a geurilla group in the jungle. (which is why it's green). and that's about all i know. sorry, guys, info is sparse.

That kit is part of a new Astray line, I'm guessing a new manga series over here in japan.
I'll take a look at one of the local book stores here in Naha, Okinawa, Japan.
there are like 4-5 kits in that line.

rematche

it's one of the mass produced ms that came from the same people who made the astray gundam.

Thanks for the replies. Mind you, I don't think it was part of any guerrilla military, cause it's listed under "civilians" in the "Mobile Suit Gundam SEED FRAME ASTRAYS" section. Plus it has the same ID code as the other prototypes, this one being MBF-P04, while Red Frame is MBF-P02 & Blue Frame is MBF-P03, so I doubt it was mass produced. Blue Frame gets another upgrade in this too, so I think it might have been found longer after the first war...

I can't send you directly to it's page, so if you want to find it yourself, use the link & look just above the middle of the page for;

Dengeki Hobby
Mobile Fighter G Gundam: The Revenge of J Gundam
Mobile Suit Gundam 00P
Mobile Suit Gundam SEED C.E. 73 STARGAZER: Phantom Pain Report
Mobile Suit Gundam SEED FRAME ASTRAYS
Mobile Suit Victory Gundam Side Story

From there, just scroll to the end of the page, it's the middle Mobile Weapon under the Civilian banner. Mind you, you'll only find the same info I've posted above for it.

Still curious about what anyone else can turn up. thanks for what you've found so far though, can't forget to say that...

a guerilla millitary isnt a military at all, its still mostly labled as civilians.

the "revenge of J gundam" is riddiculus! like the boss gundam with a cigar!

Just spotted that one. Kind weird, but not as bad as a Kangaroo. I wouldn't send a Kangaroo to fight for me. I'd prefer to clobber some skulls myself...

And fair enough about the guerrilla thing. I guess that's all the info we're gonna get for now? If it's a new series, then it'll take a while for the info to leak out, even though the kits are already out...
