Road Impulse Jungle Camouflage Specification
Road Impulse is a third-generation hexagear developed by Earth Klein Biomechanics. It is an excellent mass-produced machine that became the prototype of Rayblade Impulse, and although it has the same frame configuration and most of the equipment, it is a versatile machine.
At the beginning, Earthline Biomechanics had a plan to develop and manufacture two models, Boltlex and Road Impulse, but in the turmoil following the seizure of MSG by SANAT, they lost the arsenal that outsourced Boltlex manufacturing, and Liberty One model of Road Impulse will be used for the main battle hexagear procurement plan accompanying the formation of the alliance. Since one of the two models was missing, the specifications of the aircraft were slightly revised, and a chain gun, a large magazine for the automatic grenade launcher, and a trick blade described later were added, but the amount of firepower that can be carried is still insufficient. Inevitably, there are many examples of adding heavy weapons for infantry and large old-fashioned firearms at the site's discretion. However, it has been notified that excessive heavy armament will impair the characteristics of the third-generation hexagear and hinder the operation of the unit, so refrain from doing so.
Movable thrusters equipped on the left and right sides of the front of the aircraft are used not for acceleration during running but for momentary attitude control during jumping.
At the rear of the aircraft, it has a long, articulated work limb called a "trick blade." This equipment, which has a movable claw that can grip an object at the tip, engages in fighting battles as the fifth limb, and is supposed to directly attack and drag down the governor who is on board an enemy aircraft while passing each other during high-speed mobile combat. Furthermore, a firearm or a blade-shaped striking device can be freely gripped and used. Composed of solid mechanical components, this equipment is controlled by Zoatex to provide toughness and suppleness, making it more versatile than Boltlex tail blades. As the total weight of this armament increased, the mobility of the aircraft decreased and the size of the aircraft had to be increased, so the adoption of this armament as standard armament was postponed in the derivative aircraft "Rayblade Impulse".
Road Impulse Jungle Camouflage Specification
Attached Governor Armor Type: Pawn A1 has a Ver.1.5 structure, and has a color scheme that emphasizes the military feel that follows the coloring of Early Governor Vol.1 jungle battle specifications.
Road Impulse has been changed from armor color to dark green, which has a strong military feel and is also used in other hexa gears.
The characteristic tail "Trick Blade" has a mechanism that can move flexibly up, down, left and right, and you can enjoy posing like a beast-shaped mecha. You can also open and close the claws at the tip to hold small weapons. Each node is connected by a φ3mm axis, and it is possible to connect infinitely by using multiple nodes.
While the normal version of the trick blade has 8 knots, this product comes with a total of 16 to enhance customization elements, so you can extend it to your liking.
Mouth mounter "Hound Bite" that holds stick-shaped expansion parts can be opened and closed up and down, and can hold a wide range of items such as the separately sold Weapon Unit 06 Samurai Master Sword instead of special parts.
The magazine of the chain gun and automatic grenade launcher can be removed and used for the separately sold "Rayblade Impulse".
The "Strike Edge" attached to the rear of the forefoot has a two-step expansion and contraction mechanism, and the blade part can be expanded and contracted.
The chain gun can be used as a gun mount for the governor by attaching the attached parts.
Using some newly designed parts such as waist connection joints and hind leg joint parts, the movable gimmick is improved from the base aircraft "Ray Blade Impulse". The newly designed parts can also be used for the separately sold "Ray Blade Impulse".
It is possible to transform from Zoatex mode to vehicle mode.
