I wonder if they "CPU station" tail can be swapped out for an actual tailgunner seat? That would be cool, and it was a feature of the original that I found awesome. Otherwise, this looks amazing! Great interpretation of the original design. Out of curiosity, anyone else thinking of getting 2 and building one as Gaurantula? Yeah I was thinking it was odd how there was no exposed seat for the stinger option; they might have forgone it, since it would need a second pilot figure that would probably fall out all the time anyway haha And yeah, a Gurantula modification would be fairly straightforward I'd imagine (just omit the tail and pincers, re-mount the smoke discharger cones under the cockpit), though the legs would have to be simplified a lot which would take some work

I am very much in favor of all exposed seats becoming enclosed seats. that's a very silly old vestige of Zoids that feels a lot like oldtimey open-top cars and stagecoaches.

I can deal with exposed seats, but think a good option B would be to include a roll cage. With all the HMM parts in the smaller kits, they are getting quite close to being able to recreate classic first release Zoids outright! I still think a great 40th project would be to redo the Helic and Zenebas memorial sets as HMMs.

Yeah, a roll cage is acceptable

I still think a great 40th project would be to redo the Helic and Zenebas memorial sets as HMMs. The sprues on the Godos kits include an option for both the computer or a seat on the same back mount cannon set. Im pretty sure they will use that same sprue for this tail mount. It looks identical on initial look. The more reuse they can get, the more cost efficient these kits can be going forward. I noticed that the Godos has sprues that had many extra parts not used so....

Very cool... that also means a good source of parts for customs, too!

This is one of the wanted ones.
I think there should be more small HMMs
I have all molgas and gunsnipers. Sometimes you want a "quicker" zoid.
