The Bandai MG 1/100 GAT-X103 Buster Gundam is a Master Grade model kit from the Mobile Suit Gundam SEED series, featuring the Earth Alliance's prototype artillery mobile suit at 1/100 scale. This kit stands out with its combinable weapon system, X-frame inner construction shared with the MG Duel Gundam, and openable shoulder missile pod hatches. Recommended for intermediate to advanced builders, the MG Buster Gundam offers detailed inner frame construction and extensive articulation. Piloted by Dearka Elsman in the series, the Buster Gundam is one of the five G Project mobile suits stolen by ZAFT during the Bloody Valentine War.
