IBO HG 1/144 - Amida's Hyakuren

The STH-05/AC Amida's Hyakuren joins the High Grade lineup in this 1/144 scale IBO HG version from Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans. A personal unit of Amida Arca, an emblematic member of the Turbines, this Hyakuren immediately distinguishes itself from the standard version by its exclusive color scheme and additional armament.

Developed by Teiwaz around the Teiwaz Frame, the Hyakuren is a robust Mobile Suit designed for both spatial combat and close-quarters engagements. Amida's machine benefits from a personalized configuration corresponding to her status and piloting experience.

This High Grade version reproduces the characteristic colors of Amida's unit thanks to the various molded parts and included stickers. Its silhouette retains the massive armor and powerful proportions of the standard Hyakuren, while benefiting from additional equipment specific to this edition.

In addition to the Rifle Cannon and Single-Edged Blade already present on the standard Hyakuren, this version includes an exclusive Assault Rifle. This new weapon offers an additional configuration for firing poses and further differentiates Amida's personal unit. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

The two Knuckle Guards integrated into the side armor of the waist can also be removed and installed on the hands. They then become true melee weapons, reinforcing the particularly versatile nature of the Hyakuren.

Zone Gunpla Tips

The specific color scheme of Amida's Hyakuren is one of its main attractions. A light panel lining emphasizes the different armor plates while preserving the particular appearance of this customized unit.

The Assault Rifle is exclusive to this version and provides an additional configuration compared to the standard Hyakuren. Feel free to alternate between this weapon, the Rifle Cannon, and the Knuckle Guards to fully enjoy the different display possibilities of the kit.

The massive design of the Hyakuren also lends itself very well to light weathering. A few signs of wear on the legs, Knuckle Guards, and weapons help to reinforce its appearance as an experienced unit without requiring a complete paint job.
