Kotobukiya Hexa Gear Definition Armor Blazebore 1/24 Scale Plastic Model, Approximately 135mm Tall

Product Introduction

The "Definition Armor" concept, which sought to miniaturize the successful Bulkarm Alpha, a humanoid bipedal heavy Hexa Gear, extracted and simplified elements of the renowned Scarecrow, a masterpiece light Hexa Gear, and reconstructed it into a wearable form for the pilot, combined the two successful models to create a lightweight, highly maneuverable exoskeleton for infantry. However, the pre-production prototype deployed in combat was overloaded with elements that completely lacked balance, earning it the dishonorable reputation of being a "latest walking coffin." Aiming for practical application while retaining its only acclaimed mass-productivity, various modifications were considered based on narrowed specifications. Among these, the plans that made it into production were the Woodpecker, which emphasized high-speed, maneuverable combat by leveraging its lightweight design, and the Blazebore, which resulted in the pure miniaturization of the Bulkarm, as originally intended. While the core components of the Blazebore are largely the same as those of the Woodpecker, developed at the same time, the sensor in the upper center of the fuselage provides a wide field of view to both sides, compensating for the reduced mobility. The walking legs also serve as protection for the governor's lower body, and the working limbs themselves function as side armor while also being capable of handling heavy weapons. The thrusters are smaller and less powerful than those of the Woodpecker, designed to reduce the load on the unit and allow for foot combat in cooperation with infantry. The control system is master-slave, with assistance from the G2AI, which uses feedback information from the BMI installed in the Warmage, standard equipment on board governors, ensuring reliable unit and fire control. Thus, the Blazebore was born, a realistic revision of the specifications originally intended by Definition Armor. Its unique characteristics are evident in its close cooperation with infantry units, providing fire support by carrying heavy weapons in narrow terrain such as valleys and urban streets that are inaccessible to larger Hexa Gears, and deploying in front of the infantry as a shield for mopping-up operations. As its name suggests, its never-ending march with a red-hot shield has burned into the eyes of many soldiers, earning it a trust that is worth many times the losses it has made.
