Busou Shinki 8.
The eighth wave will be released next February. The full sets are designed by Shimada Fumikane (the designer for the Wave 1 full sets) while the EX Weapon Set is designed by Yanase Takayuki, who also did Wave 4’s EX Weapon Set. There’s a definite Mecha Musume vibe to this assortment. (Thanks for the heads-up, Hitori!)

Part: 2, 3 (part 1), 3 (part 2), 4, 5.
Optimus Prime PC case mod.
“When I was designing this PC I wanted it to transform in some way or another. It is a Transfomer, what kind would it be if it did not transform. So, I made it transform into a much smaller desktop form.”
