Together with the HG Gundam 00 Sky.

This kit is the Gundam 00 Sky HWS (Trans-Am Infinity Mode), released as part of the Build Divers HG lineup. It takes the existing HG Gundam 00 Sky and swaps the molded colors for a Trans-Am color scheme, with additional weapons thrown in. Newly added are a large Lancer Missile backpack and four Multi Missile Launchers that attach to the limbs.

First off, the pastel color scheme combined with the gloss injection finish gives it a really dazzling look overall — the unique color alone makes this kit worth picking up. It also carries over the solid articulation and joint strength from the original HG Gundam 00 Sky, and thankfully, even with all the extra weapons added on, the joints don't feel any less secure. Despite the bulkier overall size, you can still pull off reasonably stable poses.

That said, with so much stuff hanging off it, there's some interference here and there. In particular, the Long Rifle/Buster Sword folded and stored behind each shoulder tends to catch on the Lancer Missile backpack and fall off pretty often. It's not a huge deal if you position things carefully, but the constant clashing during posing does seem unavoidable.

Anyway, for a variation kit, it has a noticeably different feel from the original, and the flashy color scheme alone makes this a pretty fun Gunpla to enjoy. :-)
