This kit is the HGUC Zeta Plus C1, released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. Based on the HGUC Zeta Plus Unicorn version released as a standard kit in 2014, it adds newly sculpted front skirts, a Beam Smart Gun, and wing armaments. The signature large Beam Smart Gun is well realized with excellent sculpting and gimmicks.

Everything else about the main body's construction and transformation process is completely identical to the existing kit. By using a detachable transformation instead of a full transformation, it maintains good proportions and durability. For the detailed transformation process, refer to the HGUC Zeta Plus Unicorn version review— for this review, just focusing on the changed parts should be plenty.

The overall look and color scheme are nearly identical to the Unicorn version, but the large Beam Smart Gun really bulks things up and gives it a much more imposing presence. Honestly, the Zeta Plus C1 is a well-known unit that easily could've gotten a standard release, so a lot of fans weren't too happy about it being a Club G variation. Still, at least it came out at all — for longtime fans, that's something to be grateful for. :-)
