The RXR-44 Guntank R-44, piloted by Roy Jung, is a unique entry in the history of the late Universal Century. Originally designed as a miniature defence unit, this mecha stands out from the classic anthropomorphic Gundams due to its raw, industrial military design and strategic versatility.

On a 1/100 scale, this model features a highly entertaining full transformation mechanism: you can fold its legs and lower its rear tracks to switch the robot from ‘Mobile Suit’ mode to ‘Tank’ mode. Its arsenal features two formidable 200 mm cannons mounted on its shoulders, which are fully articulated to adjust the firing angle. The distinctive red arm guards incorporate missile launchers and proudly bear the ‘R-44’ marking. The pre-coloured plastic (blue, white, red) looks great as soon as assembly is complete.
