30 Minute Missions Finally Makes a Hardcore Real Robot

[@vustvaleo8068]

don't forget Bandai is also secretly trying to make their own Zoids kits with the animal-based 30MM kits, lol.

[@MasterSwo-MK]

Eeeeh... they kinda need to put a bit more effort into that one.

[@kira516]

Yea.... No

[@myhonestopinion3334]

Isn't Zoids Takara Tomy IP!?

[@reijigamer]

I don't know if there is anything stopping Bandai from straight up collaborating on some kind of 30 Minute Zoids. Bandai and Takara Tomy have cross collaborated before (e.g. Chogokin Liger Zero). Eventhough Kotobukiya licenses Zoids for model kits, 30 MM would be in a smaller scale and different enough from Kotobukiya's offerings.

[@peculiarcanine9443]

Which kits are those?

[@NekoNyaa-n8e]

technically hes right when talking about the backpack and he said 0079 cause of 8th MS team

[@OtherMomo]

Then he corrected it and made it more wrong

[@anonymousli4204]

​@@Snarfyy 😂

[@anonymousli4204]

Yeah, Odessa had just happened. The lore gets a little weird because they keep on retconning things.

[@MasterSwo-MK]

Bit of trivia, according to the manual the Baskyrotto isn't actually an EXAMAC. It predates them. So with this kit, we've actually gone back to before the Bairon war.

[@First-Name_Last-Name]

It's an Examac. The instruction manual has the description: "Records state that they were mass-produced EXAMACS with a notably wide variety of variation" on the first page upper right side. Btw, do you have the problem of loose polycap on the thighs on that kit? Mine's loose on one of em.

[@marcelino7875]

@@First-Name_Last-Name Loose thighs happen with a lot of 30MM kits, my Spinatia and Forestieri thighs and waist joints were quite loose, but since they use ball style polycaps, it should be easy to thicken the joints up with superglue or acrylic nail polish, or whatever alternative you have

[@HarmonyEdge]

@@First-Name_Last-Name You could also try swapping the polycaps around and place the loose one on the waist or ankle.

I played the hell out of Front Mission 3. I hope our local shop gets these in.

[@fillerbunnyninjashark271]

Front mission 5 on PS2 has been translated. Totally worth emulating

[@arsenalxa4421]

The first time I saw that thing I immediately said "that's a Frost from Front Mission."

[@donnluna7612]

Or a Zenith/Zenislev

[@gundamartz]

Front Mission 3 is still one of my favorite games of all time. Pure nostalgia. I really have to try the 30MM. The price point is great and kit bashing seems to be pure fun with them!

[@paanrp]

U know FM3 is getting a remake right? For now FM1 and FM2 already got a remake on nintendo

[@gundamartz]

@@paanrpyes, I played FM1 on my Switch and loved it! I am more than happy that this franchise returned.

[@HarmonyEdge]

If you want to go for this line you gotta be a little quick on the draw, as plenty of collectors are squad or army builders and tend to order multiples of the sets. 😅

[@somewizardguy1495]

@@HarmonyEdge can confirm. I’m a total Spinatio fanatic so I’m probably the reason that they don’t stay in stock long at my local shops. Been building 30MM/Gunpla for only a year and a half and I already have 30+ Spinatio kits…with 3 of the PBandai black knight Spinatios on the way when those ship.

[@fillerbunnyninjashark271]

You should play 5 if you enjoyed 3. Fixed everything wrong with 4

I played FM3 a while ago on my VITA. One of the best MECHA GAMES I’ve ever played. I WILL GET THIS KIT IN THE FUTURE!! I’ve been wanting to make a WANZER KIT for a long time!!

[@HarmonyEdge]

I like the build from outside of the FM perspective, but I feel it's legs are a little too stubby for my taste. I plan to wait for the brown one and slap the lower legs of the Alto Ground Type Brown to give it a little extra height.

[@zphyrum3301]

Cant wait to see the verde nova

[@NeoSlashott]

Imagine an SRX idea that can 30MM gattai into a gigantic robot kits. ( old SRW PS1 flashbacks )

I'm more surprised no one has made one of those already? I mean, if you can build a T-Rex, what can't you build?

hopefully they are slowly heading towards a mainline SRX in the future.

[@reijigamer]

​@@picooliothose have been released as SMP. Maybe they could get HGs in the future

I can hear wanzer moving noises each time he moves it

[@wtfpanda6685]

The top view of the chest piece after you removed the head. Looks like a PlayStation 1 console. Hehehe

[@TrickyTidy]

looks so good! i was trying to find some actual Front Mission plamo from square enix, but they seem expensive for what they are. i think im going to be getting this and a bunch of 30 mm optional parts instead

[@HarmonyEdge]

30MM will also be doing a crossover with Front Mission, so some folks consider the Baskyrotto and the Zowort from WFM as previews of what those future kits might be.

[@gundamvsmacross1999]

I cant wait for the Brown Color and the Option Set that comes with an entire body and joints for it too.

[@ixiahj]

It has so many hard points.

[@abyssafwan]

FRONT MISSION ACKNOWLEGEMENT? I AM HERE FOR IT!!! EMIR DID NOTHING WRONG! WOOO!

[@donnluna7612]

So does Alisa..

[@camaro7444]

This kit also gives me Armored core vibes like an MT or something

[@Year_of_the_Dell]

It practically is a BASHO by a standard, a predecessor of the Alto line of mecha that isn't super used anymore but still gets some fielding And the option kit comig this june has a flater head with a grill similar to a BASHO

[@Jhayzer021]

Front Mission 3 on PS1 what a game that was, its one of my fave game back then. Its nice that Bandai making mechs like this for customization to make all the FM 3 mecha line esp. the armored core ones.

[@badideacomics4935]

I loved this kit as soon as I saw it and bought two! It's spectacular!

[@darkclawgreatonenas]

have you ever thought about looking at the Evoroid kits from Kotobukia? i have been building them for a little while now, and i am impressed. they're simple little transforming 'desk bots' that all use the same basic 'skeleton' of parts...

[@antoniofreitas3019]

there are font mission kits btw there are pretty fun. very small but super detailed

[@CptPhilippnes]

Perfect timing for this kit. My friends and I are homebrewing a tabletop skirmish game with Front Mission theme. It's interesting how it translates too easily for tabletop. I got 2 of these and pairing them with 2 tanks is gonna be a fun time. Also there's a desert tan one down the pipeline

[@Borgron]

Plus option parts set 16 will be mostly for this kit.

[@kidrobot.]

arent they too big?

[@CptPhilippnes]

​@@kidrobot. Probably but until we get more Wanzer style kits, it scales with gunpla that act as Wanzer proxies

[@TheSickening1]

I really like your 30mm videos, this one looks really cool

[@enricopaolocoronado2511]

Saw this kit last Saturday. Sadly didn't have the money for it but damn I love how the Baskyrotto looks. It's basically just a tank with legs. Gonna save up cash for it and then maybe an optional weapons set so that I can customize it further. EDIT: Haven't caught up with 30MM lore, but I can tell this is basically gonna be Bandai's counterpart to BattleTech what with all the inspiration from other mecha settings and the like.

[@sXeAndriex]

Welp, considering I've been buying the front mission structure arts... I think I'll need a dozen of these.

[@CruxG228]

Hard to say that Square is sitting on their own IPs, considering that they have the Structure Arts kits that are really good for their size, price point, and relatively speaking, how new Square Enix is to actually designing models. I suggest you take a look at them.

[@chinito77]

Saw this at my local Joshin and immediately thought Front mission. Because of this review, I’m going back today and pick this up.

[@xailjaderune3090]

Yes there's more colors coming. Sand Brown is already out for pre-order.

[@AK-es9dn]

it could also pass as a UNAC or a Normal from AC

[@generic-screen-name]

I really really hope Bandai puts out more kits like this one. More Wanzer style stuff, less giant humanoid things. Also crazy hearing you pronounce it W-an-zur, in universe it's won-zur. And since FM3 was your gateway drug to mecha maybe go try out the remakes of 1&2, the remake for FM3 is in development.

[@mcd0ndal]

Will you be checking out the Armored Core 6 30MM kits?

[@MrBadmonkeycw]

I got the ‘Dom’ type pbandai kit a year ago. It looks good, but one of the c clips for an arm stretched a hair. So it doesn’t fall off, but floppy as hell. Just means I need to be more careful fitting these kits together. 😅

[@NevillMayCry]

Are you familiar with the Structure Arts Front Mission and Xenogears kits? They kinda need painting because they're all two tone plastic, but they're great little kits. The FM ones come in volumes of 4 kits collected in ammo crate boxes.

[@mr.b89]

I should've shipped one of the sets of 4 home when I went to japan 😭

[@24imperfect]

I could see this as a helmwige gundam repaint

[@nandas7010]

It's surprisingly similar to the Frost wanzers, and its *COOL* that way

[@donnluna7612]

Bandai needs to do more 30 mm kits thats same size as Provedel. After having the Provedel in my collection the other 30 mm kits now feels so tiny to me.

[@notani3533]

The size reminds me of late UC MS, I think it can be turned into armored core MT.

[@mechaotakugamer]

This new 30mm kit looks super awesome as a big bulky armored core inspired mecha. BTW it's pronounced Vanzer. It's german and the W is more like a V. Also it's translated to Walking tank which makes alot of sense. And one last Front mission 4 is awesome

[@IRJOE5]

This reminds me of the M6 arm slave of full metal panic and the altogether would be like the M9... but I do also see the wanzer units of front mission there too! I actual have a front mission kit to still build 😎

[@amszulu]

[@chuckadams3531]

Front Mission 3 was incredible. Did you know there was an experimental energy rifle you could find if you did certain things? I miss that game...

[@Freedomcustom]

Yes the rifle AND it's unit (Hoshun MKII) can be obtained via two methods: 1) Emma's Route: If the performance of the main protagonist's group has been consistantly high (platinum medals), then the Hoshun Mk 112 will be deployed instead of a Kasel M2 at Taradrake Observatory. Alisa's Route: If the performance of the main protagonist's group has been consistantly high (platinum medals), then the Hoshun Mk 112 will be deployed instead of a Enyo Mk.109 at Koriyama City Highrise. 2) Finding and using a number secret code number in the 'Inferno Dial' through the network during the late-game. If the Hoshun does not appear in the above situations, then it can be obtained after the Taradake Observatory stage on Emma's route or the Koriyama City stage on Alisa's route by checking BBS 3 of the Armored Kinkakuji website, which shows a request for anyone who knows the truth behind the military coup d'etat in Japan to contact him through 555(XKR)224. Go to the Garbagepit section of the Lawspite website, use the Inferno Dialer tool and enter the said number (minus the brackets). Eventually a man named Itsuki will answer the call and, after some conversation, gave the Hoshun along with a Heavy Particle Gun to the player for free.
