The XM-05 Berga Giros is a state-of-the-art combat unit developed for the commanders of the Crossbone Vanguard, notably piloted by the formidable Zabine Chareux. This retro model from the original classic range breaks away from the Federation’s traditional design codes to offer a medieval-inspired mechanical design that is both noble and aggressive.
Built to a scale of 1/100, this model captures the massive appearance and fortified armour of this miniature mecha from U.C. 0123. Its centrepiece is undoubtedly the Shot Lance, a colossal melee weapon fitted with two integrated machine guns, typical of the faction. The kit includes a Beam Shield in a textured translucent red/orange colour that attaches to the arm, creating a striking visual effect when lit. The wing-shaped dorsal thrusters (shelf nozzles) are individually articulated, allowing the robot’s aerodynamics to be adjusted for display.
