Yasuyuki Tai's Toys and Games Vol. 26 "RIOBOT Transformable Combination R-GUN Powered" Part 1

Hey all you "Super Robot Wars" series fans out there! This time, we are pleased to introduce the RIOBOT Transformable Combined R-GUN Powered, which is available exclusively at the SEN-TI-NERI official online store!

We have already introduced the "RIOBOT Transformable Combined R-1," "R-2 Powered," and "R-3 Powered," so we wanted to introduce this one as well!

Although there have been no previous three-dimensional R-GUN models, this is the first time we have reproduced the deformation of the R-GUN!　Well, I never thought I would be able to see the metal genocider mode in three-dimensional form!

To give a brief explanation of the R-GUN, it first appeared in the 1999 PlayStation game "Operation Super Hero" as the passenger of the player character Ingram Plisken/Villetta Plisken, and later appeared in the "Super Robot Taisen Alpha" series and "Super Robot Taisen OG" series. When reinforced with the R-GUN Powered, it can transform into the Hyper Tronium Buster (HTB) Cannon (also known as the Tenjo Tenge Ichigeki Hissatsu Gun), the special weapon of the SRX that has literally become the "face" of the "Super Robot" series. It can be said that many players have used this machine in the final stages of each series.

In the story of the "Super Robot" series, Villetta Vadim and Mai Kobayashi also ride this machine in addition to Ingram (in "The 3rd Super Robot Taisen Alpha," my character, Quavray, was able to ride it, too!　), though they don't have telekinesis, so they can't use the one-hit kill cannon! ) Depending on your favorite title, you may have a different image of the aircraft.

Well, now, let's take a look at the package first!

The front has the same specifications as the series, with the product name printed in foil. The package has a luxurious design.

On the back, we can suddenly see SRX holding the "Ichigeki Mushin Gun" (one-hit killing gun).

On the opening and closing sides of the box are pictures of R-GUN and R-GUN Powered in their respective metal genocidal modes.

On the side of the package, there are also pictures of R-GUN and R-GUN Powered.

Next, we will introduce the blister state taken out of the package.

On the first level are the R-GUN body, wrist, and high twin launcher.

The second level contains the twin magna rifles and pedestal. In addition, a square base is included on its underside.

The instruction manual is printed in full color. This is a high-end toy, so be sure to read the manual carefully before starting to play with it!

Here is the main body of the Personal Trooper R-GUN taken out of the blister. The Beam Cattar Sword removed from the High Twin Launcher is attached to the backpack. Metal parts are used for some of the joints, and when you hold it in your hand, you can feel a little bit of a chill in some places, which is very attractive to alloy toy lovers.

In the center of the back, the grip parts for the metal genocider mode were attached in a folded state, weren't they? Unlike when viewed from the front, the legs show a large area of frame-colored parts when viewed from the back.

The detailed color coding has also been perfectly reproduced.

Upper body. I thought the face design was very unique even back then, but I feel that just by overlapping the image of each passenger, you can see the various expressions in the same head design. This may be because of its inorganic structure, which is somewhat different from that of a human face.

Such a face is color-coded in detail, and each color is painted vividly.

Be careful not to damage the antenna parts.

The arrangement of white, dark blue, red, and yellow is exquisite. Although it was once the main character's plane, it also has a dark heroic feel to it.

Incidentally, the wrists have been changed to fists with an emphasis on shape.

I like the lines around the shin. The shin part is a single part, with the knee part above it and the ankle armor below, all in white.

The sole part is also white, which I personally found shocking.

The Qatar has two bearing holes, but these are standard in the R-GUN form. The design has a compact thruster block positioned across the backpack center.

There is a stand connection joint at the back of the waist. By using this, flying and floating poses can be added.

As mentioned earlier, the backs of the legs are painted in mecha colors, while the front side is painted in yellow. The yellow color scheme on both sides is also a fashionable point.

Range of motion.

As you can see, the head is ball-jointed and can move freely.

The shoulder joints can be rotated to raise the arms straight up, and the arms can be raised 90 degrees or more to the side.

Shoulders can also swing back and forth, though lightly.

Roll rotation with the double-jointed arms. The elbows are double-jointed and can bend nearly 180°.

All wrists, including the interchangeable ones, are ball-jointed and movable. They can snap and rotate in each direction.

Side leg openings. On the right side, the side skirt armor is lifted horizontally, but slightly interferes with the legs.

The left side is rotated to allow the side skirts to escape backwards. The legs could be lifted to a greater extent.

Front and rear leg openings. Front and rear skirt armor can be flipped up tight so they open this far.

Roll rotation possible on the thighs. This will be a movement used in the deformation as well.

Knees are double-jointed and can be bent about 180°.

The ankles are ball-jointed. The toes can be lifted up independently, benefiting from the deformation gimmick. This will allow poses with the feet on the ground.

The backpack has multiple moving parts, allowing you to angle the thrusters and rotate the cataract,

The backpack can be closed.

The angle of the beam cataract sword can be adjusted to create these powerful poses. The movable ankles also work well.

Although the R-GUN is not designed to be used in a hand-to-hand combat pose, it is possible to stand on one leg if the balance is maintained.

The Twin Magna rifle is also finely sculpted, and the cylinder part rotates independently.

The Twin Magna Rifle can be held by replacing it with a weapon handle. Here, the rifle is being held in combination with the left flat hand.

Aiming is already on."

Although the weapon is heavy compared to R-GUN's physique, in the game he handles it lightly with one hand and holds it like this. It's cool.

By the way, I thought it would be better to play the dialogue in my voice.

The movable leg parts are excellent, so you can move the knee parts and stand on one knee in a cool pose.

As you can see, the Beam Cattar Sword can also be mounted vertically. This is originally the way to attach it in the R-GUN powered form, which will be introduced later.

Let's go, R-GUN!

The Beam Cattar Sword can be held in the weapon handle by attaching the grip. Thanks to the ball joint on the wrist, you can also hold it with the tip of the blade facing outward like this.
