The AL-97B-var Hannibal was a military labor developed by Hishii Heavy Industries as a successor to earlier units like the AL-97 Atlas. The Hannibal was equipped with a sensor pod on its right shoulder and could mount an optional infrared searchlight on its left shoulder. Because the Hannibal’s hands used three manipulator fingers instead of a full human-type hand, it did not carry any weapons. Armaments included a 20mm machine gun and rocket launcher. Hishii produced the Hannibal for several clients, including the Japan Self-Defense Forces and the United Nations. In 1999, a unit of UN Hannibals suffered heavy losses after an attack in Southeast Asia. In 2000, the SDF deployed a Hannibal unit to help trap a genetically engineered monster that had been stalking Tokyo Bay and destroying labors.

At long last, Glow of Youth by @OZKai, a bit of #Gunpla history, is framed and on the wall. So happy to have it.
Should have done this ages ago, but here’s all the Victory Gundam settei scans that I received from @Gamer101_123 last year.
Character designs by Hiroshi Osaka with dates for most of them (contains some duplicates)
