You really have to nail the center of gravity just right to get it to stand, so you'll definitely want to put it on a stand.

Attach the same sub-arm as the Woundwort and you can have the MS hold it in hand,
and attach the new mounting parts added in Gundam TR-6 [Hazel II] and you can mount them onto the Booster Pod.

The new mounting parts that fix the composite shields to the Booster Pod have minimal moving sections,
so there's no drooping downward under the weight of the composite shields.

The process of disassembling and reassembling the composite shield into claw mode is the same as the Woundwort.

Same hand configuration as the Woundwort

The Woundwort came with 2 stands, but this kit only includes 1.

Since it's bulkier than the Woundwort, the joint parts for the stand are larger and sturdier.

Some Woundwort parts are left over as leftover parts.

This kit is the HGUC Gundam TR-6 [Hazel II], released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It's a Titans color variant of the Woundwort, and most of the main body is identical to the Woundwort. The only changes are the Booster Pod used as the backpack, which has been redesigned with a more angular shape, and the composite shields have been increased to two, with a new rifle and shield added to the lineup.

So the structural characteristics of the main body are the same as the Woundwort, delivering solid articulation and joint strength alongside its distinctive design. Visually, having two composite shields makes it look much more voluminous than the Woundwort, though you might worry about stability — thankfully, the mounting parts connecting the composite shields to the Booster Pod are sturdy enough to hold poses well.

Gundam TR-6 [Hazel II] also comes with a transformation gimmick into MA form. The transformation process for the main body itself is identical to the Woundwort, but a function to mount the rifle on the underside has been added. And with composite shields added on both sides as well, it feels like a massive volume upgrade compared to the Woundwort's MA. The redesigned Booster Pod that forms the nose section in particular makes it look like a completely different MA from the Woundwort visually.

Perhaps thanks to the increased bulk over the Woundwort, the stand joint parts have gotten bigger and beefier, which does make it sit more securely on the stand. The claw mode feature for the composite shields is also carried over as-is, and with two wire leads now included, you can display both composite shields deployed in claw mode. However, unlike the Woundwort which came with two stands, Gundam TR-6 [Hazel II] actually comes with only one — which feels like it should have gone up to three given the content, but instead they cut it down, so you'll need to borrow the other two stands from the Woundwort.

Despite the increased bulk, the clever mounting design and upgraded stand joint parts do a good job of holding everything together — though the joint strength of the main body itself feels relatively more worrying by comparison. All the weapons hanging off it stay attached fine, but the waist joint feels a bit wobbly trying to support their combined weight. It's probably unavoidable given how small the body is, but it's not so loose that it flops around like a ragdoll, so once you get a pose set it holds without major issues.

Anyway, with the increased weaponry and the distinctive look of the Titans color scheme, this is quite a standout color variant kit — and it's one you'll want to have for the parts-swapping fun with the Woundwort down the line. It's a shame that such a cool, highly original kit ended up as an online exclusive rather than a general release. :-)
