MG 1/100 ASW-G-08 Gundam Barbatos Lupus - Master Grade
The Wolf of Tekkadan Awakens
Raise your flag and witness the evolution of the Iron-Blooded legend. At Gunpla Workshop, we are proud to offer the MG 1/100 Gundam Barbatos Lupus, the highly anticipated Master Grade upgrade of Mikazuki Augus’ second-season machine. Taking the award-winning engineering of the original MG Barbatos to a new level, the "Lupus" (Wolf) variant features sharper proportions, aggressive armor plating, and the brutal mechanical detail that defines the Post-Disaster era.
The Master Grade Advantage: An Evolved Gundam Frame
The heart of the ASW-G-08 Lupus is its sophisticated 1/100 scale internal skeleton. This Master Grade rendition features a "Gundam Frame" with functional hydraulic pistons that move in real-time as you pose the limbs. The armor separation is meticulously designed to allow for an organic, animalistic range of motion, enabling the Lupus to achieve the low-crouched, predatory stances seen in the defense of Edmonton and the battles on Mars.
Why the MG Barbatos Lupus is a Must-Have:
Advanced Internal Skeleton: Features a multi-material inner frame with chrome-style accents and moving cylinders for ultimate mechanical realism.
Iconic Lupus Arsenal: Includes the massive Sword-Mace, two 200mm arm-mounted cannons, and the specialized Twin Maces for close-quarters devastation.
Sub-Arm Gimmicks: The backpack features functional sub-arms that can deploy to hold weaponry or assist in dynamic combat poses.
Color-Accurate Detail: Bandai’s multi-color molding ensures the iconic yellow "Tekkadan" symbols on the shoulders are separate plastic parts—no stickers required.
Pilot Figure: Includes 1/100 scale unpainted figures of the "Devil of Tekkadan," Mikazuki Augus, in both standing and seated cockpit positions.
How to build:
The MG Barbatos Lupus is a rewarding, tactile build that emphasizes mechanical "heft." At Gunpla Workshop, we recommend using a Gundam Marker GM-01 (Black) to define the deep panel lines on the white armor and the GM-02 (Grey) for the internal frame parts. To highlight the Alaya-Vijnana system sensors, use the GMS-110 Fine Edge Set (Metallic Red) for a glowing, high-intensity look. This kit is also the perfect candidate for weathering; try dry-brushing and oil stains to recreate the grit and oil of the Martian battlefield.
