This kit is the Gundam Geminass 01 Assault Booster & High Mobility Type Unit Expansion Set for the HGAC, released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. As the name suggests, it includes an Assault Booster and a High Mobility Type unit designed to attach to the separately sold HGAC Gundam Geminass 01. It's worth noting that back in 1997, there was an HG Gundam Geminass 01 released with an Assault Booster (space use unit) already included.

The Assault Booster fits onto the HGAC Gundam Geminass 01 cleanly, and the shoulder thrusters even have a cover deployment gimmick. Compared to the 1997 kit, the backpack sculpt has been somewhat revised, and the overall volume and detail are a significant step up.

The High Mobility Type unit attaches in a similar fashion to the Assault Booster, and you can also detach the beam launcher from the back thruster and have the figure hold it. The beam launcher can also be repositioned to switch between deployed and stowed states.

You can ultimately equip both armaments at the same time — just mount the High Mobility Type unit's booster pods on the underside of the feet and combine the two backpacks together. The end result is an incredibly flashy and dynamic silhouette. It's not the easiest kit to pose in complex positions, but even a simple stance gives it an enormous presence.

All in all, this is a kit that lets you recreate a wide range of configurations alongside the HGAC Gundam Geminass 01. It may not be a general retail release, but being 100% new tooling, it has that fresh feel you'd expect from a Club G kit. :-)
