The AV-98T Dolphin was a police training labor based on the AV-98 Ingram manufactured by Shinohara Heavy Industries. Due to their similarities, the Dolphin was used to train labor pilots on the control systems of the Ingram. After Division 2 of the Tokyo police’s Special Vehicles Section 2 adopted the Ingram as its new labor, its crew was sent to the police academy’s Okutama branch for training. With one exception, each member of Division 2 piloted a Dolphin to evaluate their aptitude with an Ingram. In the end, Noa Izumi and Isao Ota were assigned as the “forwards,” with Asuma Shinohara and NYPD officer Kanuka Clancy serving as their backups.

A very ARTMIC mail call today. MADOX-01 has the same issues all Moderoids do (bad 80s joint design on the knees) but HJ Vintage has a lot of great interviews with Kakinuma, Aramaki, Sonoda, Miyatake, etc.
A lot of hot takes out there relating to #G_Witch that we will not QRT to elevate that nonsense, but to make something abundantly clear:
#MAHQ is a welcoming community and has no place in it for gatekeeping or bigotry. If you're into those those things, we don't want you around.
