Basically it's the Death Army with its legs folded back and four additional legs added.

Together with the HG Eldora Brute from Build Divers Re:Rise, which was released earlier using parts shared with the Death Army.

This kit is the HGFC Death Beast, released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It's a mobile suit from Mobile Fighter G Gundam, and it's a variation kit based on the Death Army — essentially the Death Army with its legs folded back and a set of quadruped legs added to the lower body.

Accordingly, the kit's contents are the HGFC Death Army plus quadruped parts and a new weapon. The quadruped parts reuse runners from the HG Eldora Brute from Build Divers Re:Rise, which came out back in 2019. Interestingly, some of those runners were already labeled "Death Army" even before the original kit was released — a case where the Build series kit got to use them first. In the end, only two runners are actually new and exclusive to the HGFC Death Beast.

That said, the unique quadruped concept is pulled off well, and it pairs nicely with the solid Death Army upper body. The structural design of the four legs is identical to the HG Eldora Brute, and since the hip joints are fixed, the legs do have a fairly limited range of motion. On top of that, the Death Rifle has been added as a new weapon.

Anyway, this was a kit that was pretty easy to see coming once the HGFC Death Army and HG Eldora Brute were released, though it ended up as a Club G exclusive rather than a standard retail release. The kit itself feels solid in terms of quality, so if the unique look appeals to you, it's definitely worth going for. :-)
