This sci-fi military model kit depicts the legendary combat mecha from the dark, realistic universe of the cult Japanese animated series *Armored Trooper Votoms*, brought to you by the renowned manufacturer Max Factory as part of its exceptional PLAMAX model range.
The model benefits from cutting-edge engineering and the meticulous part-cutting typical of the PLAMAX collection, offering a strikingly realistic visual representation that remains faithful to the licence’s industrial designs. Moulded from high-density plastic, the structure accurately reproduces the massive, utilitarian and ‘Real Robot’ silhouette characteristic of these combat armours. This model kit features advanced articulation, ensuring excellent stability and a wide range of movement to recreate ultra-realistic combat or maintenance poses once assembly is complete. The model comes with its standard removable heavy weaponry and iconic accessories, perfect for customisation.
Designed primarily for the enjoyment of building, painting and display on a shelf, desk or in a display case, this build kit is aimed at both discerning model makers and fans of retro animation. It comes in an official illustrated box showcasing the mechanical sketches from the licence.

Character background and universe (Lore)
In the universe of Armored Trooper Votoms (created by Ryosuke Takahashi in 1983), the galaxy is torn apart by a century-long war between the Gilgamesh and Balarant systems. At the heart of this impersonal and brutal conflict, the Armored Troopers (AT) are mass-produced weapons, mere mechanical consumables piloted by soldiers who are often expendable. The SV-04 X model is part of this line of legendary industrial machines, famous for their three-lens rotating optical turret and their "Glide Wheels" roller-based movement system. Far removed from heroic super-robots, this mecha embodies the very essence of the "Real Robot" genre, where military strategy and technical survival take precedence over magic. This model celebrates a landmark in Japanese science fiction, an essential item for any fan of science fiction military modelling.
