The first up is Werkstra Victory. Launching!

Her assault rifle has been replaced with a rapid-firing massdriver which requires a bulky powerpack. The increase in both stopping power and rate of fire are well-worth the trade off in terms of mass.

Two new secondary weapons have been mounted on the backplate, a long-ranged beam cannon over her right shoulder, and a close range beam sprayer over the left. The beam cannon hires a single, focused shot at a slow rate of fire, whereas the sprayer fires a burst of short-range beams at multiple targets.

Ready for action! Two new maneuver vanes have been added to her legs to help make up for the considerable weight increase in the equipment.

The knife and shield have been abandoned to focus entirely on long-range combat, but the standard leg armour has been retained.

The thruster pod has been replaced with a new, higher-output system incorporated into the rear weapons pods. The design allows a fair amount of independant positioning from the weapons, broadening her field of fire.

The massdriver is from a 1/144 HG Tallgeese III kit, whereas the thruster/weapons assembly came from an old System Injection V2 Assault Gundam kit. The parts fit together remarkably well, with the back assembly going onto the standard Shinki adapters with no modification. I tried to work up a replacement arm shield, but nothing really came together, and it was fairly cluttered already.
