"Strike Gundam, how to express
It is a painful existence whether character character stands out "

Since Strike Gundam has various three-dimensional products in the past, goals will become together when it is three-dimensionalized according to image and setting image. So, thinking about something a bit different, I thought that if I had to approach ... ... I worked on concept work.
Regarding the past METAL BUILD, FREEDOM GUNDAM, Destiny Gundam, and Strike FREEDOM GUNDAM, rather than simply designing them, I put together a concept image by combining the impression of the video after the broadcast and the character of the pilot. is. However, because the pilot Kira rode the Strike Gundam with the feeling that he didn't want to fight, it might feel a little weaker than the other three mobile suits... personally. I felt The image of Strike Gundam for me is far from hesitating, and even now I still struggle with how to express it (bitter smile). On the other hand, I think that the battle situations where the striker pack is used properly have a unique character as a mechanical machine, and I think that the impression of weapons received from the video is quite strong, so I thought that would be the main image. I was.

For me, the appearance of breaking the restraint of the maintenance bed in the first episode and getting up is like a genie or a giant, and the profound feeling is the image of Strike Gundam. The way it is used and shown in the battle scene is also the same, but there is a clear difference in the aircraft concept from the route of Kira's boarding aircraft after FREEDOM GUNDAM.
As a situation, you can be either a god or a devil ... but it may have a MAZINGER Z-like presence. The image of the mobile suit and the pilot is not synchronized, but the relationship that you have to fight with the mobile suit while being afraid of the mobile suit as a weapon and its powerful weapon is Strike Gundam. I thought it might be the relationship between KIRA YAMATO and Kira Yamato.
If such an image could be issued, I thought that it was a bit of a stroke that I could peel off the common impression that "Kira is the coolest leading machine to get on first".

Also, in order to emphasize the ``weapon-METAL BUILD'' and ``prominence'', we intentionally used a lot of metal in the joints and frame parts of the main body, so the silver parts are actually metal. I think that it has become a Strike Gundam that is suitable for the brand name of ".
As for AILE STRIKER, I was told that Okawara Kunio would be watching over us as we went along, so I didn't know until the prototype test shots were made. When I saw the test shots, I noticed that the approach to the wings was quite different, and they could be folded in a different direction than usual for three-dimensional objects. There were a lot ver. A.N.I.M.E. that I would never have come up with if I had been supervising, so I was glad.

I had a lot of trouble with the initial concept work, but I'm very happy that I've finished with a Strike Gundam that has the uniqueness of METAL BUILD that I've never seen before.
