Bring one of the most distinctive Armored Troopers from Armored Trooper VOTOMS to your collection with the Bandai Spirits HG ATM-09-GC Brutishdog model kit.
The HG Brutishdog recreates the specialised ATM-09-GC Brutishdog piloted by Fyana, combining the proven engineering of Bandai’s HG Scopedog with dedicated Brutishdog parts and its unmistakable red colour scheme. Released in June 2026, this High Grade VOTOMS model kit delivers the rugged military styling, articulation and characteristic posing options fans of the series will immediately recognise.
Bandai HG Brutishdog
The Brutishdog is a customised Armored Trooper derived from the famous Scopedog, but its appearance and equipment give it a very different personality.
Bandai’s HG version uses the HG Scopedog as its foundation, adding the specialised components required to reproduce the Brutishdog and its distinctive appearance.
The result retains the compact, industrial military styling that makes the machines of Armored Trooper VOTOMS so different from conventional Gundam and super-robot designs.
No wings.
No enormous beam weapons.
Just a heavily armed machine that looks like it was built to get a job done.
Distinctive Brutishdog Colour Scheme
One of the biggest visual differences between the ATM-09-GC Brutishdog and the standard Scopedog is its colour scheme.
Rather than the familiar military green associated with the Scopedog, the Brutishdog features its characteristic red and pink-toned armour, immediately separating Fyana’s machine from its mass-produced counterpart.
It’s an excellent choice for collectors who already own an HG Scopedog and want something visually different alongside it.
Gatling Gun & Iron Claw
The Brutishdog’s right arm is one of its most recognisable features, replacing the conventional hand arrangement with its distinctive integrated weapon system.
The combination of the Gatling Gun and Iron Claw gives the machine a much more aggressive appearance and is one of the defining characteristics of the Brutishdog design. Bandai has recreated this equipment as part of the HG model’s dedicated Brutishdog components.
It’s certainly one way of solving the problem of deciding which weapon your model should hold.
Just make the arm the weapon.
Recreate Classic VOTOMS Poses
The HG Brutishdog model kit retains the articulation and mechanical posing options of Bandai’s HG Scopedog platform.
The completed model can reproduce several characteristic Armored Trooper poses, including the descent posture, Arm Punch pose and Roller Dash pose. Bandai notes that the Arm Punch action can be represented, although cartridge ejection is not reproduced.
These features help capture the grounded, mechanical movement that has always been such an important part of the VOTOMS aesthetic.
A Great Alternative to Gunpla
For builders who enjoy Bandai model kits but want something outside the Gundam universe, the HG Armored Trooper VOTOMS range offers a very different style of mecha.
The Brutishdog’s compact proportions, military appearance and functional mechanical design make it particularly appealing to fans of real-robot anime, military science fiction and weathered mecha builds.
It also provides an excellent canvas for additional modelling.
Add washes around the armour.
Create chipped paint and battle damage.
Weather the lower legs.
Add dust, grime and metallic wear.
The more used it looks, the more at home it starts to feel in the VOTOMS universe.
Build Straight from the Box or Customise
As a modern Bandai Spirits High Grade model kit, the Brutishdog uses snap-fit plastic construction and can be assembled into an impressive display model without requiring glue.
The kit also includes a 3D metallic sticker, while additional painting, panel lining and weathering can be used to push the military appearance even further.
For experienced modellers, the relatively large armour panels and industrial styling provide plenty of opportunities for realistic finishing techniques.
