They sure milked this one for all it's worth ^^;

The Trans AM versions just keep on coming one after another — this time, alongside the Susanowo, the Reborns Gundam has also been released in a Trans AM version. The Reborns Gundam, which you could call the final boss of 00 Season 2, can also transform (well, "transform" might be a bit of a stretch) into cannon mode by flipping around to the back.

First off, the molded colors bring out the full lineup of classic Trans AM colors — pink, magenta, and orange — making this probably the prettiest color combo of any Trans AM mode kit. The base quality was already solid to begin with, and thanks to the nature of the Trans AM molding material, the joint strength has gotten even tighter. It's actually gotten so stiff that it can feel a bit awkward to move, but that's still a hundred times better than having loose joints.

The Trans AM mode of the Reborns Gundam feels like it has a bigger difference from the normal version compared to other Trans AM kits. It's like the color scheme went from plain to way more flashy and powerful-looking. Variation or not, the kit itself is genuinely a good-looking piece.

Setting aside its origins and just looking at the design and color scheme, this is probably the most striking kit in the entire Trans AM lineup — so if the colors and looks appeal to you, I think it's definitely a fun build. :-)
