GERWALK, Fighter and Battroid modes are all reproduced, and the distinctive Limiter Release mode is added through dedicated configuration. The head adopts subtle expressions through a neck-base movable axis and ball joint, the shoulders deliver wide range through movable duct and shoulder joints, and the chest carries multiple internal axes for full torso freedom.
