Alongside the original kit, the HGUC Hambrabi.
Many parts have been changed, including the head, upper body, side skirts, shoulders, legs, and wings.

This kit is the HG Hambrabi Suban, released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It appears in Gundam Build Fighters, and is based on the HGUC Hambrabiwith changed molded colors and a number of revised exterior parts. The overall design concept is similar, but new sculpting has been applied to many areas including the head, upper body, side skirts, shoulders, legs, and wings.

Only the exterior has been changed — the inner frame is identical — so the structural features and transformation process are the same as the HGUC Hambrabi. It comes out as a clean HG kit with excellent articulation, solid joint strength, and a straightforward transformation. One of the more interesting things about the exterior changes is that with the new-design wings added, the original wings have been remodeled into a wide, shield-like Wing Tomahawk. And with the head and torso redesigned, it feels a bit more MS-like compared to the original Hambrabi.

The transformation process into Mobile Armor mode is pretty much identical to the HGUC Hambrabi.
But with the new wings plus the Wing Tomahawk — remodeled from the original wings — mounted underneath, it ends up with four wings total.

As you can see, this is a solid variation kit with new sculpting applied to quite a few areas. The build quality is up there with top-tier HGUC standards, so if the style appeals to you, it's definitely worth picking up without hesitation. :-)
