The figure used for this unit is a Gunpla model kit.
Its model number and name are HG 1/144 GUNDAM GROUND TYPE

_________________________________________________________________

Object Bio - The Gundam Ground Type was one of the early prototypes for the Earth Federation's mobile suit mass production plan, produced in limited numbers before the recovery of the RX-78-2 Gundam's combat data. As its name suggests, it was designed solely with ground combat in mind, and all space-use equipment, as well as the Core Block System, were omitted. This caused the Gundam Ground Type to be lighter, allowing it to rival the performance of the RX-78 while under gravity.

NAME = GUNDAM GROUND TYPE

COVER = FULL
UNIQUENESS = UNCOMMON VEHICLE
OCCUPANCY = 1

SIZE/HEIGHT = HUGE 14

LIFE = 4

MOVE = 4
RANGE = 4
ATTACK = 4
DEFENSE = 4

POINTS = 140

DEFENSIVE POSTURE
Start the game with a grey Shield Marker. Before taking a turn with this Gundam Ground Type’s driver you may place or remove the Shield Marker from this card. While there is a Shield Marker on this card, this Gundam Ground Type may not move and adds 1 to its Defense number and 2 to its Range number.

FLANKING FIRE
When attacking normally, you may roll one additional attack die for each friendly huge vehicle that could also attack the defending figure with a normal attack, to a maximum of +2.

HEAT SEEKING MISSILES 14
Once per round, instead of attacking, you may choose a figure within 4 spaces of this Gundam Ground Type that does not occupy a full cover vehicle and roll the 20-sided die, adding 1 to the roll if the chosen figure is a vehicle. If you roll 14 or higher, the chosen figure receives a wound. After using this special power, you may use it one additional time.

FLYING
SUPER STRENGTH

Looking good.

Will be curious how the attack boost feels with Shiro, especially with some bonding involved. But there are other ways to get big ranged attacks so not something I'd think would be a huge competitive concern.

[Arch-vile]

Looks cool! Should be a nice swarm option with Flanking Fire.

I'd add a 15 to the Heat Seeking Missiles power name.

[Dr. Jekyll]

I propose we move to Initial Playtesting
Are we getting 155-170 on the calculator?

Yep, but in my experience I'm not sure how well it applies to VDOs? This thing does seem a decent amount better than the Zakus.

[Dr. Jekyll]

Good to know I'm getting a little better with the calculator

[Arch-vile]

yea

What, seriously? I thought I did.

Well, that's garbage. I'll do that now.

[Soundwarp SG-1]

Design looks good but I would like to give peeps a fair chance to view it before voting it forward.

(Not like laying blame or anything, mistakes happen)

[Dr. Jekyll]

No that's completely fair here. I'll put it back into breathing for another 24hrs.

Sorry about that.
