What Makes the Bulkarm (Lambda) Jackal Unique

The Bulkarm (Lambda) Jackal is a 2nd generation Hexa Gear from MSG Valiant Force, designed for urban combat. Unlike earlier Bulkarm variants, this kit emphasizes mobility and speed by reducing weight while retaining the series' signature sealed cockpit and four-limbed humanoid form. The model includes compact equipment and optional parts that let you customize your squad.

Key Assembly Considerations

The kit comes molded in six colors: blue, light blue, gray, gunmetal, silver, and clear orange. While the color separation is generous, you may still want to paint details like the heavy submachine gun or the shield's grip for a more finished look.

The shoulder armor features 3mm joints, making it compatible with expansion attachments from other Hexa Gear kits or third-party accessories. Use the special 3mm joint optional part to mount equipment on various locations on the frame.

Build Sequence Advice

Follow the manual's order for the main frame, then focus on the weapons and optional parts.

  1. Start with the internal frame and artificial muscles: The kit uses Hexa G.R.A.M artificial muscles. Assemble the spine and base joints carefully, as they house the Air Maneuver Thrusters that enhance hand-to-hand combat speed.
  2. Attach the four limbs and sealed cockpit: The cockpit is entirely sealed, ideal for long watches. Ensure the BMI (Brain-Machine Interface) connections align properly if you plan to display the cockpit open.
  3. Equip the shield and weapons: The shield features a grip that can be held by hand parts or attached to a 3mm connection joint. The 3mm joint on the rear of the shield can store spare magazines for the heavy submachine gun.
  4. Add optional armor and attachments: Use the 3mm joints on the shoulder and frame to attach additional armor plating or equipment. This compensates for the reduced defensive power while maintaining attack flexibility.

Customization and Display Tips

The Jackal's color scheme uses six colors straight from the box, but you can enhance the look by painting the heavy submachine gun and shield. The 3mm connection joints on the frame allow you to attach spare magazines or other equipment from the Hexa Gear line.

Because the kit is designed for urban conflict, consider posing it in a crouched or dynamic stance to emphasize its mobility. The Air Maneuver Thrusters are a key visual element—position them to show the unit in mid-dash or ready to pounce.

Note that not all governors are supported by this unit; check the manual for compatible Governor figures if you plan to include a pilot.
