ATLAS Corporation’s Japanese branch is testing out a new prototype to shift the tide of war. Codenamed “Ashura,” this unmanned bipedal drone is capable of executing complex human tasks on the field of battle.

In collaboration with renowned mecha designer Shoji Kawamori, the Reaper – Ashura Operator is now available in the Ashura Lucky Draw as part of Season 7 in Call of Duty: Mobile. Read on for more info about creator Kawamori, the Reaper –Ashura Operator, and other items in the Ashura Draw.

Shoji Kawamori — The Artist Bringing Reaper –Ashura to Life

While a student at Keio University, Kawamori worked as one of the original writers of the TV anime series The Super Dimension Fortress Macross in which he designed the three-stage transforming mecha Valkyrie that appeared in the series.

At 23 years old, he was chosen to direct the movie Macross: Do You Remember Love? In addition to the Macross series, he has also written and directed the Aquarion series and Ihatov Fantasy: Kenji’s Spring, a semi-autobiographical anime special inspired by Kenji Miyazawa. Other work includes mecha designs for Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory and the mecha designs for the 1995 Ghost in the Shell anime movie, as well as a myriad of other works.

“I hope you’ll enjoy playing with the special skin I designed for Call of Duty: Mobile,” says Kawamori. Now let’s dig into all the goods you can earn in the Ashura Draw. 

Reaper — Ashura: Combat Mech, Ready for Action

An advanced robot like Reaper – Ashura needs an advanced weapon to match. Enter the Legendary M4LMG — Salamander, a devastating LMG Weapon Blueprint that will have Reaper – Ashura’s enemies running for cover and is also designed by Kawamori. The Salamander is fully integrated into the robot’s interface, providing a heads-up display any time the weapon is used. Its ammo is electrically charged, too, creating an explosion when eliminating targets, leaving nothing but smoke in the wind.

Also available in the Ashura Draw are multiple Epic items including the LK24 – Firehook, the FHJ-18 – Technophile launcher, the Charm - Lil' Ashura, and the Wingsuit - Technophile, , in addition to Reaper — Ashura. A word of advice: If you see Reaper – Ashura, run for your life.

Prepare for mobilization.
