This is a review of the METAL BUILD Launcher Striker.

Set contents: A full set of Launcher Striker equipment, plus a backpack for the Astray.

Complete pedestal.

Attached to the Strike to create the Launcher Strike.

Agni. The main weapon of the launcher pack. Metal Build’s unique arrangement has been added, making it a much more complex design than the original.

Back side. The arm can be moved flexibly.

With the grip in place. The grip is fixed, so it was a bit cramped.

There is also a grip on the inside so you can hold it with both hands.

The gun barrel can be deployed and the extension range is quite large. The rear battery can also be deployed and detached.

Combo weapon pod. This is equipped on the right shoulder. The gatling part can rotate.

The top and bottom shields are movable. Equipped with missiles on top and a saber on the bottom.

The combo weapon pod can be rearranged, allowing a shield to be equipped on the left arm.

Only the Gatling gun remains on the right shoulder. A cover to hide the hole where the shield was inserted is also included.

The shield is on the left arm. It is connected using the shield joint that comes with the Strike body. It is also possible to mount a rifle.

The backpack was also very detailed.

The stand included this time is attached to the stand that comes with the Strike body.

The base can be used to mount the Agni, Combo Weapon Pod, and Rifle, and if you use the base that comes with the Sword Pack (released in November), you can mount all three packs.

By using a special backpack, you can

It can also be equipped to Blue Frame.

Just a few at a time.

Deploy Agni and take a stance. When deployed, it becomes dramatically longer than normal, making for a very impressive attack.

It is a two-handed grip. The left hand is a little cramped in places, but the right hand can hold the grip comfortably.

The combo weapon pod on the right shoulder did not particularly hinder movement.

It wasn’t mentioned at all this time, but it’s a mystery what will happen with a perfect strike.

Gatling launcher.

Although the main equipment is artillery, a beam saber is also included.

The saber blade was the same as the one that came with the Strike itself.

That’s it. This concludes the review of the METAL BUILD Launcher Striker.Personally, I feel that the launcher and sword would have been better as a set, but as you would expect from METAL BUILD, the arrangements and gimmicks are quite elaborate, and the launcher alone is fun to play with.The main weapon, Agni, has been arranged quite a bit and is more detailed than the original, and when deployed, it increases in length significantly and is very impressive. The combo weapon pod also has many elements that are not found in other three-dimensional objects, such as the ability to rearrange the missiles and shields, which was interesting.I’m curious to see how the perfect version will be reproduced, but for now, I’m looking forward to the next Sword Striker.
