Nimrod - As presented by Kawamori Shoji
VAN-Force (by Kawamori Shoji) - Nimrod and Nimrod Heavy Attacker[]
Nimrod and Nimrod Heavy Attacker are fully transformable combo models designed by Kawamori Shoji of Macross fame. While comissioned by LEGO for this (and other) promotional designs, they are not part of Exo-Force due to copyright ownership by SATELIGHT (copyright holders of Macross).
Nimrod and Nimrod Heavy Attacker is the third VAN-Force combo model, made from one Striking Venom and two (yes, that's a pair of) Stealth Hunters.
This combo model's instructions and sticker set were awarded for purchasing a minimum amount of LEGO Exo-Force sets at a number of conventions in Asia.
Nimrod and Nimrod Heavy Attacker are fully transformable from a vehicle mode to a GERWALK (half-and-half) mode, and finally to a humanoid mecha with minimal to no removal of parts. Both models combine somehow.
Highly detailed and complex, it is intended as a display model rather than a playable toy due to being a bit structurally weak from the stud connections. This doesn't seem to be a problem if the parts are secured with a weak water soluble glue for stability.
