Japanese toy brand WAVE, known for its diverse range of model kits and PVC figures, is set to release a 1/35 scale model kit of the "Brutish Dog," the exclusive Armored Trooper (AT) piloted by heroine Fyana from the classic mecha anime "Armored Trooper VOTOMS" (装甲騎兵ボトムズ). This kit is slated for an August 2022 release.
"Armored Trooper VOTOMS" (装甲騎兵ボトムズ) is a 1983 mecha anime produced by Sunrise and directed by Ryosuke Takahashi. The story follows protagonist Chirico Cuvie, a soldier with an uncanny talent for piloting Armored Troopers (ATs) who struggles to uncover his past. Amidst relentless enemy fire, Chirico constantly faces loss and separation. What drives him to continue fighting is his desire to pursue the truth and the recurring image of a "Phantom Lady" in his mind. The anime is highly regarded for its intense and dynamic mecha combat sequences.

This latest Brutish Dog ST version AT from WAVE is primarily known in the original series as the exclusive unit for heroine Fyana. Developed by the "Secret Society" based on the Scopedog, this unit was designed to accommodate the abilities of a Perfect Soldier (PS) and features a distinctive pink color scheme. It's equipped with a "PRSP Backpack Unit" on its back, a component typically reserved for heavier ATs, allowing it to maintain high mobility for extended periods compared to a standard Scopedog. For weaponry, its right arm boasts the unique "Gatling Claw" (ガトリングクロー), a special weapon combining a 30mm Gatling gun with a steel claw.
