Revoltech No.030 Dix-neuf, Buster Machine No.19

Yet another unique REVOLTECH from my REVOLTECH collection, REVOLTECH No.030 Dix-neuf was released together with REVOLTECH No.031 GETTER1 OVA Ver.. I was initally not very keen in getting the Dix-neuf, but when I saw pictures of its alternative outfit, the one with the skull face, I knew I had to get this! This is the first time I don't dig the 'caped' characters. Though not annoucement as yet, I expect the great Kaiyodo will definitely release all the Buster Machines (e.g. Vingt-Sept, Quatre-Vingt-Dix and No.7) in "DieBuster" and definitely the cool "GunBuster" (which Bandai already did for an SOC GX-34)!

Dix-neuf is a machine from the animation "DieBuster" which is known as "Aim for the Top 2!" (トップをねらえ 2!, Toppu o Nerae Tsū!) in Japan, and "GunBuster 2" to some anime fans.
Dix-Neuf is the biomechanical machine from "Buster Machine Corporation", piloted by Lal'C. Its armaments include a spiked-'baseball' bat, finger-mounted chaingun, finger missile pods and Buster Energy Beam. In the animation, Dix-neuf can transform into a shuttle. While capable of battling opponents without a pilot (due to its AI), Dix-Neuf's true potential is only realized when a "TOPLESS" pilots it: its mobility increases exponentially, its otherwise rigid 'trench coat' is able to flex and move almost as if it weighed little more than a piece of clothing, and it can use weaponry powered by its pilot's Exotic Maneuvers. Dix-Neuf is in actuality Buster Machine No. 19. It had its degeneracy generator removed, and replaced by the cockpit in the chest. This may have been done to bury the technology to keep humans in the solar system, or simply because of the horn going through No. 19's head, blocking access to the true cockpit. In its true form, after Lal'C and Dix-Neuf violently installed a degeneracy generator from one of the floating Buster Corps, the entire machine is red, with the heavy overcoat turned into pure energy. The large mouthpiece is removed, revealing a human face.
