The Bandai 1/100 FM Raider Gundam – 2595692 is a Full Mechanics kit that recreates the powerful GAT-X370 Raider Gundam from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED in impressive detail. Designed at 1/100 scale, this model captures the dynamic look of the Raider while incorporating clever engineering that makes the build both enjoyable and accessible. One of the highlights of the kit is its seamless transformation gimmick, allowing the Raider to shift from Mobile Suit mode to Mobile Armor mode without the need for part swapping. The head transformation is linked through sliding mechanisms, while the multi-stage leg joints and shoulder structures enhance the conversion and articulation. Built-in weapons such as the Machine Cannons are revealed during the transformation process, adding to the mechanical realism. The kit also includes Raider’s signature Mjolnir hammer with a display pedestal, a shield gun, support parts for MA mode, and a joint connector for compatibility with the Calamity Gundam boarding pose. Stickers and foil decals are provided to add finishing touches, while a lead wire is included for Mjolnir’s cable effect. Like all Full Mechanics releases, the Raider Gundam is molded in color and built with snap-fit construction, requiring no glue or paint. The result is a model that combines rich surface detail and articulation with ease of assembly. Whether displayed in its sleek Mobile Armor form or standing tall in Mobile Suit mode, the Raider Gundam makes a striking addition to any Gundam SEED or 1/100 scale collection.
