Technology & Combat Characteristics
Rick-Do Gyanko is a costume variation of the Hyper Gyanko. As implied by its name, the Gunpla’s motif is based on the Rick Dom and it also incorporates characteristics of the ground-use MS-09 Dom. Taking to heart an advice from a veteran Gunpla builder that the YMS-15 Gyan is not everything, this is the first time Tateo (a member of the Gyan loving Sazaki family) used a motif other than the Gyan. There is also significant compatibility between the Rick Dom, a heavy mobile suit, with Tateo’s sister, Kaoruko Sazaki whose image is the basis for the Hyper Gyanko.
The abilities of the Rick-Do Gyanko are in stark contrast to that of the Gyan based Hyper Gyanko. It has improved firepower and output, as well as enhanced mobility for use in ground combat and for combat in or out of the atmosphere. The Rick-Do Gyanko specializes in attack and evasion, and can maneuver in ways that is unimaginable from its appearance. It is sure to impress all with its cute potential as a combat type Gunpla’Cos Heroine.
History
The Rick-Do Gyanko is Tateo’s first Gunpla in which he chose a motif other than the Gyan, prompting the Gyan loving Sazaki family to hold an emergency family meeting. After many hours of discussion, they reached the conclusion that it is fine, as the Rick Dom (the Rick-Do Gyanko’s motif) is made by the same Zimmad Company that is behind the Gyan.
