HG 1/144 YAMS-132 Rozen Zulu

My next post after a month since last post on 144 Wing Gundam Zero. Now here come a new elegant HG model kit from Gundam Unicorn, YAMS-132 Rozen Zulu. This is a mobile suit with Psycho Jammers attached and its INCOM shooting gimmick are really cool^^

The Rozen Zulu is based on the concept of the experimental Newtype mobile suit AMX-103 Hamma Hamma and was designed as an Anti-Psycommu warfare mobile suit. The Rozen Zulu is actually a heavily modified AMS-129 Geara Zulu using spare parts of the MSN-06S Sinanju
  
    
    
Similar to the Hamma Hamma, both of the Rozen Zulu's arms are wire-guided weapons that are an INCOM, by which the claws of the mobile suit may have the possibility of being used as a melee weapon, the claws come integrated with a mega beam cannon. It also has new petal-shaped remote control terminal devices built-in, the "Psycho Jammer", which disrupts the connection and function of enemy Psycommu-guided weapons. 

  
    
Due to overall improvement of technology, as well as the enhanced psycho-frame, the pilot can use the suit's beam gun-mount claw arm more effectively than previous test suits of the same system. For defensive purposes, it carries a shield which has three built in mega particle cannons.

  
    
INCOM Claw, These are the main weaponry of the Rozen Zulu, each equipped with a pair of mega beam cannons of adjustable output. Each of these "claws" are wire-guided and controlled by the quasi-psycommu system.

  
    
Mega Beam Shield, The Rozen Zulu could be equipped with an optional shield to increase it defense. However unlike most other shields the Rozen Zulu's mounts an independent power generator which is used to power the shield's beam cannon.

The Psycho Jammers are store in the backpack container when not in use. A total of 6 Psycho Jammers in this kits. 
  
  
    

INCOM lead-line gimmick just like AMX-103 Hamma Hamma.
  
    
However, although the Rozen Zulu excels at long distance combat, it has proven to be unable to handle close quarters combat well due to the few melee options available to the mobile suit and its unique arm design prevents the Rosen Zulu from using any handheld weapons that would mitigate this weakness. In fact, it has been shown that its close quarters performance is poor enough that a partially reconstructed NZ-666 Kshatriya was actually able to outperform it in hand-hand combat.
