BANDAI SPIRITS Hobby Division in Japan has announced the latest product from the official side story of "Mobile Suit Z Gundam," "A.O.Z RE-BOOT," for its most diverse 1/144 scale Gunpla series, 'HG (High Grade)'. The "HG 1/144 Aqua Hambrabi II (A.O.Z RE-BOOT Ver.)" is scheduled for release in June 2023.

The versatile strengthening part Aqua Hambrabi II can not only operate independently as an underwater MA, but when combined with Gundam TR-6 [Woundwort] or Barzam, it can form the Gundam TR-6 [Woundwort Aqua] and Barzam Aqua. Equipped with multiple underwater thrusters and a rich array of missile and torpedo armaments, it significantly enhances mobility and firepower in underwater combat.

The "HG 1/144 Aqua Hambrabi II (A.O.Z RE-BOOT Ver.)" kit is molded in the colors of Reborn Zeon. It requires the separately sold 'HG 1/144 Gundam TR-6 [Woundwort] Psycho Blade Custom (A.O.Z RE-BOOT Ver.)' main unit to recreate the Woundwort Aqua with its jet-black body and crimson equipment as depicted in the design sketches (official images are of painted samples; some actual parts require self-painting). The core drum-shaped frame features a newly designed structure, allowing for adjustable connection shaft positions to further enhance its range of motion.



Just like its mechanical design in the series, the HG version of the Aqua Hambrabi II can also function independently as an underwater MA. When equipped by the TR-6, it can transform from MS mode to MA mode. However, the only playable armaments are the claws located on the front of both shoulder armor pieces, which feature an unfolding mechanism and can recreate the firing state with the included metal wire.
