Hello everyone. This is THE ROBOT SPIRITS project manager.
First of all, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone.
THE ROBOT SPIRITS <SIDE AB> series started in 2012, and now, on the 40th anniversary of "Aura Battler Dunbine," we've finally been able to bring you figures of every Aura Battler machine that appeared in the TV series!
(Of course, we still have plans to continue the series with other machines in addition to the ones mentioned below, so please keep checking back with us for more information.)

This time, we'd like to conclude our collection of Aura Battler figures from the TV series by introducing some photos of the fascinating (and a little bit wild) GEDO, which is the progenitor of all of the Aura Battlers in terms of its specifications.

*The images displayed in the article are of colored prototypes. They may differ from the actual product.
*Other THE ROBOT SPIRITS <SIDE AB> series and TAMASHII STAGE ACT MECHANICS products used in these photos are sold separately.

Aura Battler Gedo

Weapon: Sword only
Overall Height: 6.7 meters
Weight: 5.1 Lufton
Aura Coefficient: 0.78
Required Aura Power: 13
Maximum Aura Power: -
Cruising Speed: 150 rill
Top Speed: 180 rill
Affiliation: Kingdom of Ah, etc.

Above are the official basic specifications, but the required aura power (the aura power needed for a pilot to fly it) is 13, which is second only to Billvine on the show. On the other hand, the aura coefficient (a coefficient that amplifies the pilot's aura power) is 0.78, one of the lowest among all the Battlers. Finally, its basic weaponry is only a sword... A specification that one would expect from the very first Aura Battler.

When the GEDO first appeared in the series, it was already treated as an older model that couldn't play a prominent role. Nevertheless, this machine is the progenitor of the Aura Battlers.
In its prototype stage, the development team must have been astonished by its massive size and combat power.

 

The Dunbine was developed based on this GEDO.
Since it was created by the developer Shott Weapon, he may have been conducting mock battles between Aura Battlers at the time of the Dunbine's development.

Although the GEDO may not have been able to play a heroic role in the show, THE ROBOT SPIRITS has incorporated a variety of movable mechanisms throughout the figure to let you realize such a fantasy.

· The tubes attached to various body parts are made of soft PVC material and can be expanded and contracted to accommodate various movements.
· The base of the wings can be moved along their axes to create a variety of silhouettes.

*The photo above is of a factory prototype before being colored.

 

Because of the high amount of aura power required, perhaps the GEDO could have been active in ground battles after the events of Episode 32, "Surfacing." I don't know about you all, but playing with figures while imagining such things makes me lose track of time!

 

Finally, this product comes with a PET sheet bearing the official 40th anniversary logo of "Aura Battler Dunbine," which first aired in 1983!
We hope that you will place it in your collection alongside the machine that marked the beginning of Aura Battler history.

 

This has been an introduction to THE ROBOT SPIRITS <SIDE AB> GEDO prototype.
The ordering deadline is coming up on February 5, 2023 at 11 PM (JST). We hope that all of you who loved "Aura Battler Dunbine" will be able to get their hands on one!

 

We have lots of plans in store for THE ROBOT SPIRITS line, as well as for other brands, including the Dunbine series.
We will continue to work hard on the development of this product to make everyone who has supported us over the years even more pleased with the final product. We look forward to your continued patronage and support.
