Gunpla Battle: Prower Brothers

Gunpla Battle: Prower Brothers (ガンプラバトル:プラワーブラザーズ, Ganpura Batoru: Plauer Kyoudai) often abbreviated as GBPB is a Japanese science fiction anime television series produced by Sunrise and TMS Entertainment, a spiritual successor to the 2013 anime Gundam Build Fighters, based on the long-running Gundam franchise. It is directed by Shinya Watada (Gundam Build Fighters Try) and written by Noboru Kimura (SoltyRei, Dragonar Academy) with character designs by Juri Toida. It was first teased in December 2016 under the title "Gundam Build X Sonic The Hedgehog Battle Project" until its official reveal in The Gundam Base Tokyo on February 1, 2017. It aired on all JNN network stations in Japan from April 15, 2017 to December 23, 2017. Like its predecessor, and in contrast to other Gundam series, Gunpla Battle: Prower Brothers features a tournament-based storyline where Gunpla models are built, customized, and battled.

Story
Back in the 1980s, the success of the series Mobile Suit Gundam resulted in an economic boom due to sales of the Gundam model kits, or "Gunpla" (ガンプラ, Ganpura), dubbed the Gunpla Boom. Years later, with the success of the second Gunpla Boom, special tournaments called Gunpla Battles are established throughout the world to see which customized Gunpla and its builder are the best. These incredibly popular Gunpla Battles culminate in an annual global tournament.

The story of the first series revolves around Miles "Tails" Prower and Streaker Prower, 2 young Gunpla Builders who have dreams of becoming the best Gunpla Fighters in the tournament and someday become as good as his father. Together, both of them will tackle the world of Gunpla Battle and compete in the tournament using their customized Gunplas, the XXXG-01WT Wing Gundam Tornado X and AGE-1CS Gundam AGE-1 Cyclone Striker. The Duo was then joined by Tails' Only Sister, Zooey and her Gunpla, RGE-G1100K Kawaii Gundam.

Gunpla Battle
In a Gunpla Battle, participants enter simulation cockpits that resemble the seats of the Advance Generation mobile suits. They place their Gunpla models in a scanning device that resembles a Haro unit. Oversized Haro units are also available to scan larger kits such as the 1/144 RX-78 GP03 Dendrobium. From there, they pilot their mobile suits in a simulated battlefield such as Tokyo or A Baoa Qu.

It is important to note that the mobile suit's statistics are relevant to the build quality of the Gunpla model. For example, a fully detailed Gunpla model with high quality paint and adhesive will perform better in a Gunpla Battle than one that is simply built straight out of the box. In addition, the scale of the Gunpla model is crucial in Gunpla Battle. For instance, a participant can pilot a Big Zam mobile armor, but if the Gunpla kit is 1/550 scale, then it is actually smaller in the battlefield than a 1/144 scale mobile suit.
