GZ-009 Brastle Tiger Height-7.7m Weight-91.0t Depth-18.4m Maxspeed-300.0 km/h Brastle Tiger was a little challenging in some areas. His legs required alot of pieces. Here he is in normal mode. Front view A nice head shot Attack mode! As you can see, a lot of compartments can be opened. Here's a close up on the neck part. To me, it was hard to attach it to the neck. The good: Brastle Tiger is an awesome zoid. I had to choose between the black version or this one and, well, I choose this of course (I love silver!). The design is great on him. I like how you can raise the gun fin thing on it's neck. The bad: It was hard to attach the fin gun thing onto it's neck. You had to attach it to two knobs. It was annoying but it finally worked. Conclusion: I recommend this zoid to everyone who want's it. It's a nice zoid to add to the Genesis collection. Not very hard to build.

Silver? o.o
At any rate, thanks heaps for the pics, I didn't realise that the underbody was such a brillikant blue. I might have to get this after all. Blue>red in my books XD

Oh, man, that looks goooood. Now I want both Brastles again . The first one was so much fun to build while so tired I could barely keep my eyes open... Those teeth need trimming, though.

Ever since Genesis was released I've thought the Brastle, Bio-Tyranno and Bio-Megaraptor were cool designs. But then I got my Murasame Liger and was so put off by the quality(or lack thereof) that it has kept me from buying any more. The colors are cool and the heads on the Brastle tigers have always looked badass to me. I had heard that the Brastle was difficult to build but after reading your review I may just change my mind and grab one.

The back bit is annoyingly fiddly, but Brastle itself isn't that bad. It's a great kit either way...

yeah he was one of the first genesis models i have. he is great, wish the blue undercarrage was black though and yeah that neck thing is annoying as h*ll to put on. you should trim the teeth to make them pointy, it will look much better for the side profile.

Now they need to make a Blitz Haken to match the colors of this Brastle to fuze with it.

There's nothing wrong with silver.... but where is it? It looks charcoal-black/grey to me o.o
But yeah, definitely grabbing me one of these when I can (not till next year due to having budgeted zoid expenditure all the way through to December). That blue and blackish/grey looks too good to pass up and I'm normally a hater of recolours XD

Question: Are the eyes as reflective/refractive as on the black one? I love that about my black one, the eyes just make it look so evil because they practically glow.
The Genesis Brastle looks very regal, it is a great contrast to the evilness of the original.

Hey SilverLiger - you got a toy named after you. How cool is that !
Great review. I wasn't gonna get "just another re-colour" but now I want it. My wallet hates you ...
