Make this Nova Cat purr

Hey peoples, I was wondering about the Raijin 'mech. It's an older design that's been around for a fair while, but there isn't a model of it on Ironwind. There's a Raijin II (which I dislike the design of...), and Camo Specs has a single model of a Raijin. Is the Raijin unseen or something? it's not listed as one of the unseen...

It was considered one of the unseen for a while, and as such, the sculpt was discontinued. You can still find them occasionally.

I like the first incarnation for the mini, not too fond of the re-release personally.

The first mini was great.
Its a shame that the stats don't reflect the art all to well.
To the credit of the second one, the stats and the art match up much better then the first one. Its just a shame that the design looks much weaker then the original.
Looks too much like an Anime Cartoon show mech.

Here's a picture of the two for comparision's sake.  http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f134/DireLuciora/Battletech/Raijin_Twins.jpgAnd given it's heritage of being designed by Victor Musical Industries, I think it's pretty americanized for an anime mech. Which I don't find bad at all. |
