The PPMS-18E Kämpfer Amazing is a Gunpla introduced in the Gundam Build Fighters anime. Based on the MS-18E Kämpfer, it is built by Plavsky Particle System Engineering (PPSE) and primarily controlled by Meijin Kawaguchi.

Technology & Combat Characteristics

Meijin Kawaguchi's customized Gunpla developed by PPSE, the Kämpfer Amazing is a variant of the MS-18E Kämpfer that first appeared in Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket and has been redesigned from the ground up to meet his needs. It is equipped with new technologies such as high polycaps in all joints and is coated in emotion paint. Weapon-wise, the Kämpfer Amazing is equipped with a pair of knives, a pair of beam sabers and eight heat plates on its limbs. In order to boost its performance, it is often equipped with the Amazing Weapon Binders, which not only contains additional weapons, but also contains thrusters to boost the Gunpla's movement. Usually, a pair of these binders are attached to the back, but additional binders can also attach to the legs. What weapons are stored within the binders are decided prior to the battle according to the predicted battle condition.

Special Equipment & Features

• Amazing Weapon Binder

The Kämpfer Amazing's attachable weapon storage equipment, it is possible to store more than one weapon within each binder. The binders can be attached to the back and/or to the legs, and are equipped with thrusters to offset the added weight when they are attached. These thrusters can also boost the suit's mobility. The binders can be ejected from the suit if they become useless or launched in the direction of the enemy's attack to intercept it. Up to four binders can be attached to the Gunpla. The Amazing Weapon Binders are developed based on the Influx Weapon Binders of the RX-93ν-2I Hi-ν Gundam Influx, which is an earlier Gunpla built by Allan Adams.

Notes & Trivia

• Despite having a similar head design to the MS-18E Kämpfer, it is unknown if the Kämpfer Amazing has head-mounted vulcan guns as they are not used in the anime nor are they mentioned in the HGBF 1/144 model kit manual.
• Both the HGBF 1/144 Kämpfer Amazing and the HGCBC 1/144 Amazing Weapon Binder model kit manuals showed that the Amazing Binders can be combined using additional parts and be used as a handheld beam cannon. However, this ability was not mentioned in the equipment profile given in both model kits, nor was it shown in the anime.
• The Amazing Rocket Launcher and Amazing Minigun have not been released in any Gunpla kit. A pair of white, unpainted version of the Amazing Machine Guns are included in the P-Bandai 1/144 HGBF RX-93ν-2I Hi-ν Gundam Influx model kit.
