Sembo Blocks Wandering Earth - Barrage Phantom Review

 
 Finally got the opportunity to review Sembo Block Wandering Earth series starting with Barrage Phantom! On first look I got attracted into this particular series due to unique mecha designs and proceed to sample 3 specimens. However, upon finishing constructing these kits, I realize that there is a reason why these Wandering Earth brick model never truly achieve mainstream success. While the mecha design concepts are wonderful, the brick model medium has its limitation to make the design properly works.

Among Wandering Earth Brick Model I have obtained, Barrage Phantom is probably the weaker design in terms of aesthetics. To put it simply, it is a low efficiency frontline unit due to having low caliber Machine Gun as its main armaments with Missiles as supporting weapon. In theory it will have hard time to put a dent on any mecha unit on the same weight class as its armaments are meant to mow down the inferior units like infantry on one sided combat especially the thin arms are very vulnerable to be destroyed. 

At any rate, I will finish my Wandering Earth with three units only since Brick model are not exactly suitable format for this and will cover the rest of this review series eventually.
