The MBF-02 Strike Rouge was built from spare GAT-X105 Strike parts stored onboard the Izumo class battleship Kusanagi. For all intents and purposes, the Strike Rouge is an almost-exact copy of the Strike, with a few minor modifications and improvements made by Morgenroete. The most obvious difference between the two units is that the Strike Rouge's Phase Shift armor is colored red and pink instead of red, white, and blue. This color change can be attributed to minor improvements in Phase Shift armor energy efficiency and the usage of a power extender to increase the suit's battery life. All one of these changes are reflected in this kit, which comes with the full array of Strike Gundam weapons and accessories, including the Aile Striker!

Due to this kit's age and the fact that an updated version of this suit was released as an MG, this kit likely will not be produced again. If you'd like the updated version of the MG, take a look at the related items!
