Description
Series: Zeta Gundam (anime) / Advance of Zeta (manga)
Asshimar (massed produced mobile weapon)
This is one of my favorite non-Gundam mobile suits of all time. There are a couple of versions created by a couple of different artists which I borrowed from to create the model: one from Kunio Okawara and the other, Kenki Fujioka. The model basically follows Okawara's outward design as Fujioka's version is much larger/heftier looking -- though they're ostensibly the same machine. Detailing the mechanics on the inside, especially the skeleton of the drum frame was based off of Fujioka's design however. The transformation ultimately yields a UFO inspired mobile armor (kind of Hamburger or Cheese Wheel shaped) while the mobile suit is a mono-eyed, heavily armored beast. There's no shield as the ceramic composite armor is capable of taking some attacks both physical and energy based. Though the machine has a "single-camera" it is also fitted with several assist cameras if the main one blows out. Incidentally, the Zeta Gundam series hints at somewhere near 6 backup eyes while the Zeta Gundam movie "Heirs to the Stars" shows 3 backup eyes specifically -- so I built 3. There are no weapons other than the beam rifle. No beam sabers or the like. The machine is principally fielded by various parts of the Earth Federation -- especially the TITANS. In the ADVANCE OF ZETA manga, the machine goes through multiple design changes (courtesy of Fujioka Kenki) and model changes.
The biggest weakness (like most transformable machines) is it's ability to transform since the shifting of parts leaves vulnerable areas temporarily open to attack.
As far as the model goes, there are a few glaring errors. The biggest is that the rear backpack(butt pack?) should have some clamps and vents for the boosters --I forgot that
. There should also be a center indention along the UFO armor's midsection. The mesh's transformation from MS to MA, while it works, is not exactly "pretty" either so I'll have to work on that.

I thought Buran was an awesome character. I mean he beats the crap out of Kamille and Char left and right in mid air. He even goes toe to toe with Amuro for a while but Amuro is Amuro. I thought about something they could have done let Karaba escape to the pacific and Hong Kong but have someone else from New Guinea base pursue them and do the stuff with Four and Honk Kong. Then when they attack Dakar after Kilimanjaro play that dramatic music show the Sudori flying over the city and the Asshimar with a group of Federation Colored Barzams charging Amuro and Kamille over the city. But alas Ben Wooder and Buran Blutarch die way before that. Just a great mobile suit with a great pilot.
