Awesome action poses by Force Impulse itself...
... although the duel scene with Freedom seems to be the emphasis all the time.
Comparison with its earlier 1/100 scale version is obviously... no fight? ^^;
With another 'sharp-edged' SEED MG, Destiny.
The optional part for the backpack allows Impulse to use the backpack from Aile Strike/Strike Rouge, Freedom (however ridiculous it seems for it to be using the wing unit of its rival), IWSP and even 1/100 Akatsuki O_O
Not shown in the review, but I'm pretty sure Strike Freedom, Strike Noir, Destiny, and Strike's Sword and Launcher packs are compatible for this MG as well.
