【Story】
Year 2090.

Not long after the rapid development of AI, the line between humans and machines was almost indistinguishable and technology to predict the future was taken for granted.

The Japan Ground Self-Defense Force (JGSDF) was the first to equip the new Type 07-Ⅲ Autonomous Tank with a highly accurate future prediction AI.

While most people shied away from this technology and its near-human-level personality and communication skills, Captain Natsuki Kukuri nicknames her own unit “Nacchin” and treats it as an equal member of her team.

One day, while Natsuki and Nacchin are on duty, a sudden incident occurs that changes the world. What they once knew had been altered and fractured, resulting in the strange world they now find themselves in.

These two’s consciousnesses overlap in multiple universes, resulting in different identities.

The Type 06-Ⅲ Autonomous Tank, otherwise known as Roku, is currently the most widely operated and deployed autonomous tank.

【Settings】
Of all the generations of autonomous tanks, Roku remains one of the longest operated models, and currently is deployed all throughout the country.

The custom type Roku utilizes the next generation of composite heat-resistant armor which has been in development, with further improvements being made to the performance of the hydrogen battery.

Equipped with new manipulator parts that have five fingers, it can flexibly handle even complex and high-precision work. This model was designed to be a more advanced version of the standard-type Roku.

The multi-joints all over the body can be used to equip Roku with various devices so it can take on any situation.

Model Specifications:
・The design uses the original designer Moi’s new CAD data. Type 06 Tank Roku is brought to life while preserving the atmosphere of the story illustration.
・This model is a high-spec, full action model kit with 60 points of articulation.
・The kit includes HAND UNIT ROUND FINGER B in the Nacchin color scheme, which can be equipped to Nacchin’s forearms by using the included arm adapter parts.
・The model is equipped with 12 3mm connection points, allowing users to freely customize the unit with separately sold M.S.G and other parts.
・Like Nacchin, this model was designed with future developments in mind, allowing the hatch on the head to be opened and closed like in the story.
