    Hobby Japan Web has published the Hi-Res images of the Bandai HI-METAL R ATM-09-GC, as well as the sketches to the ATH-Q64 Berserga WP. The "HI-METAL R Brutish Dog" is set for release! Furthermore, design data for the Berserga has been revealed! Check out the option sets currently available for pre-order! [Armored Trooper Votoms] Brutish Dog Release Announced!! The Complete HI-METAL R V.O.T.O.M. Series: A Masterpiece Born from Refinement!! "HI-METAL," the pioneer of high-end, pre-assembled robot figures launched in the 1980s, has been succeeded by "HI-METAL R," and one of its main items is from "Armored Trooper Votoms." Starting with the Scope Dog Red Shoulder Custom released in 2024, there are currently eight models in the lineup, including those scheduled for release. like the HI-METAL R Scopedog (MELQUIYAN FORCES) unit too release in June. 　 The characteristics of "HI-METAL R" ATs are that they are pre-assembled and, as the name "METAL" suggests, they use metal parts to achieve reliable articulation. Furthermore, each AT comes with an articulated pilot figure, allowing for play combining the AT with a human. 　In addition, the ATM-09-GC Brutish Dog, which was displayed as a reference exhibit at "TAMASHII NATION 2025" last year, has also been confirmed for release!! With the ATH-Q64 Berserga WP also in development, even greater expansion of the series can be expected in the future. For information on new HI-METAL R releases other than "Votoms," please see "HI-METAL R Frontline!" in the May 2026 issue of "Monthly Hobby Japan." Don't miss it!! ▲Rear view of the ATM-09-GC Brutish Dog (painted prototype). The PRSP Mission pack on the back has markings. Also, spare magazines can be seen stocked on the waist. Compared to the HI-METAL R, ATM-09-ST Scopedog. The changes are extensive, including not only the colouring, but also the gatling gun on the right arm, markings, the mission pack on the back, and the gliding wheels on the legs. The ATH-Q64 Berserga WP was on display as a reference exhibit at "TAMASHII NATION 2025". Please note that this is only design data, and the specifications may change in the final product. We will report on the specifications, included figures, and other details as soon as they become available in "HI-METAL R Frontline!". (Composition and text: Genki Ikeda, Koji Igarashi [TARKUS]) So I take it we will have the official reveal for the ATM-09-GC Brutish Dog very soon! April reveal with a November release.... I also take it since it doesn't came with very many accessories, it should be cheaper then most releases but the could add two versions of Fyana to make it interesting!? Really looking forward to the unit! 🤗

    I find that Takara is way too bright on most of their V.O.T.O.M. AT's, the Erdspinne (Dirt-Spider) is only slightly darker then the X-ATH-11C Order Buckler went it should be much darker! Bandai in most parts, adheres to the AT Colour guide that was published by Wave over 25 years ago, and is an excellent source reference material, in what colours should be used. the AT-Truck as well was way too bright then that was shown on screen for a brief moment.... It makes them too toy like, which was always a problem I had with Takara! While Bandai's colour matching in the Hi-Metal R line has been almost perfect! Although the (RSC) should be darker then the regular ATM-09-ST That's why I decided to take the newly released Scopedog and make it into my (RSC) since it's darker then the (RSC) that was released! I would recommend the AT Color Materials, that Wave published if you wan't a good colour reference! a quick shoot for reference....

    Never heard it referred to this, is it written somewhere? I only saw it referred to "The Last Red Shoulder Custom" ATM-09-ST(TC)

    New article on the unit found at Hobby Japan Web.....

    I stand corrected! So there is a Birkoff Squad & a Reeman Squad?.... and an Unknown Red Shoulder squad? That's going to be expensive in the Hi-Metal R line!!! Bring it on! 🤗 and a Vorct Squad!? 😱
  7. grogall
    Looks like Cavico Choipla series is getting into the Birkhoff Squad, let's hope Bandai gets a hint! 🤗 not my cup of tea.....

    Hobby Japan Web has a small writeup on the 20th. Anna of the command Vorct story line with some graphics and maps.

    It's not a VF-1, it's a VF-25 and doesn't belong here!

    Are you making an April fools joke before April 1st.? That's bad luck! 🤮

    Me too! From the two Takara AT's, I had in the 80's, one was the Brutishdog that I ordered after seeing it in a magazine, When it came I was so disappointed with the bad colour matching that Takara did that I sold both units a couple of month later! The V.O.T.O.M.'s anime series was clearly directed at adults, but Takara decided to make the V.O.T.O.M toys for kids and was not adhering to what was shown on screen! Now I can finally get the Brutishdog that I wanted back then...🤗

    The New Hobby Japan Magazine has a two page spread on the Hi-Metal R series page 074-075 clearly showing that the ATM-09-GC Brutishdog will be the next release! It also has an overview of all the releases so far, also showing what pilot figure comes with what unit! Sadly the Fayana figure that will accompany the Brutishdog was not shown. I'm sure the pictures will be posted on Hobby Japan Web soon!

    Where is the purchase link? Common @treatment get with it! 🤣 I also take it the VF-1J Blue & Red Superparts where never released!?.....

    Thanks @Graham! Seems that the Command Vorct, Arc. is popular at the moment since Bandai released their HG expansion set last year to complete the Vorc series! and the new Mag. from Hobby Japan seems to compliment this. I'm sure it's a series we will get in the Hi-Metal R line eventually, but will be costly 😱

    Picked up two units from Mandarake last year for 16,000 yen. which if you think about it, include a nice weapons pack. but splitting them up with add on packs will make it easier in the future, for example the Birkoff squad when the parts come available.... @Graham What series is the Commando Vorct version from?
  18. grogall
    I was just using the Wave picks as a guide in the post above! But yes, don't understand why even in the new 1/24 STTC, Wave only gave you the parts to do Chirico & Murza's version. It can't be that expensive to add the other three weapons needed! but I'm good with my Bandai squad....

    So last year I bought the PS5 Pro and on Black Friday an 8TB NVMe from WD direct for €640, I was just looking at the playstation website to see what the prices are now on the WD drives, First Playstation Germany doesn't link to WD for drives anymore, it only gives you the US site where you pay over $2600 for an 8TB drive....🥶 That's nuts! 😱🤪
  22. grogall
    Agree, I'll stick with the V.O.T.O.M.S. which I'm sure will fill up my display case quickly enough!.... I didn't buy any of the Dougrams either! But if they ever rework the Hi-Metal R Destroyd Macross line & match the quality of the V.O.T.O.M.S., I'll gladly get back in too thoughts as well!....🤗
