HG 1/144 Gundam Astaroth

#019 Gundam Astaroth HG 1/144

The ASW-G-29 Gundam Astaroth is a mobile suit from Mobile Suit Gundam IRON-BLOODED ORPHANS Gekko, a side story of Mobile Suit Gundam IRON-BLOODED ORPHANS.

Gundam Astaroth is one of the 72 "Gundam" frames produced and used in the Calamity War, roughly 300 years ago. It is also one of 26 remaining Gundam Frames that have survived the Calamity War and reported to be operational. The Warren Family, a family affiliated with Gjallarhorn, owned the Gundam Astaroth, but was forced to sell its armor and equipment when their financial situation went bad, leaving only the Gundam Frame intact. Hence the Astaroth's armor is now a mix of parts from other mobile suits and an example of this is that its left forearm armor and left shoulder armor is from a UGY-R38 Spinner Rodi. Also, its current head is a replica of the original. The two side waist armors are called Boost Armor, which have a wide range of movement and help in the attitude/posture control of the mobile suit since the Astaroth's asymmetry affected its center of gravity.
