HG / GWITCH #11 – Michaelis

“_The_Michaelis_{is a new model MS developed by}_{Grassley Defense Systems}_{that is equipped with the same}_{“Antidote” Anti-GUND Format}_{equipment seen on its predecessor, the}_{CEK-040 Beguir-Beu}_._{The Beam Bracer}_{, a combination armament, replaces the manipulator on its right arm.}“

Mobile Suit Equipment

Beam Bracer

A combination armament that makes use of Non-Kinetic Effectors, the core elements of Anti-GUND Format protection equipment.

Antidote

Interferes with GUND FORMAT Links. However, these “Antidote” attacks only affect GUND Format links with Permet scores of 3 or lower.

Javelin Bracer

Mounted on the left forearm, it is a composite weapon consisting of a lance, short shield, blade, and beam vulcan equipped on the left arm. The lance can be remotely controlled by wire.

Beam Saber

Melee weapon built into the left arm’s short shield. In combination with the right arm Beam Saber, it offers the option of dual-sword combat.

Kit Features

Armor Suitable for a Witch Hunting Knight

When the **Beam Bracer** is opened each arm has a claw that deploys.

The backpack and rear skirt are fixed in place, but compliment the form & function of the suit well.

Dainty feet make stability questionable when off an action base.

Quinn’s Opinion

oh Shaddiq…. why couldn’t you have expressed yourself

Cheers:

+ Includes a display base for the wire guided Beam Bracer.
+ Beam effects have the expected “Witch from Mercury glow” and look spectacular when receiving light from any angle.
+ Lovely color palette.

Cons:

– Where is the rest of the equipment? We’re missing the beam blades for the claw as well as the lance =[
– The Antidote system is comprised of 9 stickers, each require several folds and delicate placement.

Closing thoughts:

Shaddiq was a very interesting character. I didn’t expect him to play the role he did in the story, and the Michaelis fits his style of appearing noble but attacking from unexpected angles.
