HEXA GEAR BLOCKBUSTER VF VER. MODEL KIT

Although Blockbuster is often considered to be one of the more “outdated” third generation Hexa Gear models, its combat performance rivals that of any newer model. Blockbuster’s simple construction and high level of customizability makes it the ideal addition to the Valiant Force’s extensive arsenal, and the units are often modified after they have been stolen from the Liberty Alliance. The model’s main weapon is a sniper cannon that can take down enemy targets from extremely long distances, but in order to perform high precision attacks, the machine must be grounded, making it difficult to mobilize at shorter distances. In order to compensate for this shortcoming, Blockbuster is equipped with multi‐missile launchers in order to increase its firepower. This modified version is referred to as a late‐stage model, and is often used by the Valiant Force in a similar fashion as the most recent Hexa Gear model, Motor Punisher.

Unlike Demolition Brute’s multi‐lock missiles, each of Blockbuster VF’s individual missile pods is equipped with propulsion mechanisms, allowing it to launch multi‐warhead bursts that fly to the target area and spread over a wide field of attack. The pods can also be filled with fuel tanks in the place of missiles in order to act as an added booster to increase the Blockbuster’s thrust.
