Together with 00 Raiser and Cherudim Trans AM mode.

Following the 00 Raiser and Cherudim, the Trans AM version of the Arios has been released with the same lineup as the previous Trans AM versions. It features a gloss injection-like molded finish, pink/magenta molded colors, and noticeably tighter joint strength.

Since the Arios is a transforming kit, joint strength is especially important here — and the Trans AM version actually improves on that, making it easier to hold poses in flight mode. That said, the front skirt still has the same tendency to pop off, so you'll want to be careful during transformation or action poses to keep it from falling off.

As a standard Trans AM version kit, it's a straightforward variation that doesn't really need much extra explanation. :-)
