>>10932363It wasn't until more than a year after the MD line had been established that the Re Arm, Re Boot, Re Construct!!! project was announced, and although it was abandoned, it did give us a slew of new Busou Shinki designs and one new prototype - Edelweiss. This was the first time they mentioned the Shinki kits would be MD collabs. I think it's a stretch to say this was the plan all along.
