ASW-G-66 GUNDAM KIMARIS VIDAR from Mobile Suit Gundam IRON-BLOODED ORPHANS, second seson and is piloted by Gaelio Bauduin. As soon as Gaelio reveals himself being the masked Vidar, GUNDAM VIDAR is modified to change into GUNDAM KIMARIS VIDAR.
Iron-Blooded Orphans features plenty of suits whose designs change and adapt as the series goes on, from the main suit Barbatos with its multitude of forms to other who featured a radical change like the Gusion or the Dantalion.
The Kimaris Vidar is one of such suits, where it abandoned the previous gunslinger/swordplay combination that focused on dexterity to move into a slower style. The main draw of the suit is its Drill Lance, a behemoth of a weapon that also stores cannons and missiles to ensure the obliteration of the enemy. The Vidar’s armour is also upgraded, mostly on the top front while leaving the bottom half of the suit free to manoeuvre.
If you enjoyed the Vidar, the Kimaris Vidar is another take on it. If it wasn’t your style, still give it a chance, because few Gundam kits feature a lance-type weapon.
