that's a big sword

>>14879338
I'm not sure how I feel about this Astray. On one hand it looks like it got infected with DG Cells and mutated to hell and back, but on the other hand I'm a complete sucker for giant robots wielding comically oversized weapons.

What really gets me is the decorative dragon engraving on the pommel. That must have taken teams of men weeks to make. WHY.

>>14879592
Because Lowe thought it would look cool, I guess.

>>14879218
Well they're builds made of metal.

>>14879338

Absolutely hilarious.

You already did retard

>>14879592
The giant sword in Astray is made by a bunch of old Swordmakers who have bumfuck else to do because their craft is obsolete.

And that's the story of how Powered Red Frame came to be.

Apparently the hilt of the sword has some hidden gimmick to be reveal in the comic, which is also available in the toy.

>>14884049

>open the sword
>there's another sword inside

>>14880727
holy shit Astray is even dumber than Frozen Teardrop. That's G-Gundam levels of hilarity

>>14884097
No, the hilt unfolds to become a sword.

-THEN- there's a sword inside of that sword.

>>14884049
I bet Powered Red combines with the hilt

Who cares about the Astray with futile fake sword when they announced the F91 and QuanT?

Also, Metal builds appreciation thread.

>>14880727
which astray manga is this? i need it for spiritual reasons.

>>14879218
its a big metal knight

Fixed for accuracy.

>>14879218
Isn't that a Metal Robot Damashi?

>>14886673

The meteor scenario starts in Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Astray R volume 3.

By volume 4 Lowe is circumcising battleships.

>>14887056
Yeah why the fuck does Lowe even have a 150 m Gerbera Straight anyways

Realistically speaking it would be fucking useless in actual combat

>>14887086

Because it's cool.

>>14879218
Is this a 1/100 or 1/144?

>Realistically speaking it would be fucking useless in actual combat

It's like you don't even know Lowe. The answer is because he's that special kind of combination of genius and idiot who will make things just because he thinks it's a cool idea regardless of whether it's a good or practical idea or not.

>>14887235
If it's a true metal build, it's roughly 1/100, although technically non-scale.

If it's those Robot Damashii with diecast parts then it's slightly bigger than 1/144.

>>14887288
Neat, thanks anon.

>Rdd one is gone too

Red one? Astray Red? You can find it in Mandrake ayìt 18.000 yen. Even 15.000 yen on Nagoya store.

That's the Gundam Fix of Deep Strike. It has released many years ago and is not a Metal Damashii. Out of stock by a long time, but point dont change. You can find it in Mandrake at 16.000 y. I have not seen better prices.

>>14887111
But it makes no fucking sense to even have a bigger Gerbera Straight when Phase Shift armor is a thing
Like, it's already a pain in the ass to have to wait for Phase Shift to run out of power before using a normal sword, what kind of fucking use does the big one serve other than look cool

>>14887739
Phase shift armor is extremely rare.

Blame this.
Lou saw this thing slicing things like nothing, and decided to build himself a power unit, and a big sword with the rare metal from some meteor he came across.

>>14879338
When will this Astray meme die?

>>14887739
Phase shift can still be overpowered by a large enough Impact and at that time in Astray not everything is using phase shift.

Also lowe uses the normal sized one to target the joints, which can be gut because the armor is weaker there and because of the way the sword cuts or some bull.

>>14880727
That is impressively stupid.
People have dumb ideas all the time, but this is something special. Someone sat and thought long and hard about how they could make this plan as stupid as conceivably possible.
"Inefficient" doesn't even begin to describe this. The Astray writers have created the need for at least three new words to properly verbalize how far away from "effiicient" this truly is.

>>14879338
Is it as big as an actual sword hilt?

>>14890235

Yes. And that's why some people find Lowe loveable.

I think Astray has far shittier characters. I'm fucking looking at you, Barry *tips fistdora* Ho.


>>14890659

Maybe. If we assume the Red Frame is somewhere around six or seven inches tall, the sword handle easily looks to be over twice as tall, so the hilt is probably somewhere in the 12 to 14 inch range, which sounds about right,

So if you wear a sweater with a front pouch, you can put the Astray inside it and hold the hilt, as if you were the power loader. That's cool.
