Although labors were most commonly used for construction projects, labor manufacturers also developed labors for military use. One such unit was the land combat Type-7B/2B Brocken developed by Schaft Enterprise’s Europe branch, known as SEE. The Brocken’s human-like mobility put it par with the Shinohara AV-98 Ingram used by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. A prototype Brocken was smuggled into Japan by SEE, but was stolen by the environmental terrorist group Beach House. The truck carrying the Brocken was in turn stolen by a seasonal worker trying to reach his pregnant wife. Schaft’s Japanese division, SEJ, stepped in and attempted to recover the Brocken by dispatching two Type-5G/1C Grau-Bears, but they were stopped by the police department’s Special Vehicles Section 2 and its Ingrams.

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)
