Just a few months after I discussed Roda Asshimar, Tamashii Nations has once again met expectations with a new Metal Robot Damashii release: the Prototype Asshimar TR-3 Kehaar Space Type from the Advance of Zeta series. Released as a Premium Bandai item, this “Metal Roda” entry is positioned at premium price level comparable to earlier Metal Build releases. Scheduled for November 2026, the figure will be sold for 27000 Yen.
Despite its premium price point, this Prototype Asshimar stands out as a striking showcase of AOZ mechanical design philosophy. While not necessarily depicted as significantly more powerful than the standard Zeta-era Asshimar, its visual presence is undeniably impressive particularly in its Mobile Armor form, where its bulk and scale give it a true sense of weight and dominance compared to many other AOZ mobile suits.
Although it may be a long shot, there is still hope that a ground-type Prototype Asshimar—closer to the original Asshimar silhouette, could be produced in the future. In the meantime, it wouldn’t be surprising if third-party manufacturers, particularly in the 1/100 scale model kit space, attempt their own interpretation before an official release appears.
