The basic weapon loadout is the same as the regular AOZ Re-boot version.

Move the hoverford out of the way and you can bend the legs just as much as on the original Barzam AOZ Re-boot version.

The split shoulder articulation gimmick is carried over as well.

Look closely and there are quite a few changed points.

On top of the hoverford added to the back of the legs, the shape of the verniers on the inner legs has been changed
from a round form to a thin, elongated one.

The beam rifle design has changed slightly too.

This is the HGUC Barzam ReZeon Captured [A.O.Z. Re-boot Ver.], released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. At first glance it might look like a color variant of the regular Barzam [A.O.Z. Re-boot Ver.] released alongside it, but look closer and there are actually quite a few differences — the lower body front, knee ducts, and inner leg vernier shapes have all been revised, and a large hoverford has been added to the back of the legs.

The overall construction and structure are identical to the normal Titans color version, so all the same characteristics apply — the polycap-less joints hold well but feel a bit stiff to move, and the wide hip articulation range thanks to the lack of a skirt is the same too. The weapon loadout is also the same, though the beam rifle design has been tweaked.

The biggest feature of the ReZeon Captured spec is the hoverford on the back of the legs — the silhouette is reminiscent of Kotobukiya Frame Arms' Gourai. You can deploy the hoverford downward using an internal extension gimmick. A base plate can be attached at this point, though the instructions guide you to leave it off when the hoverford is stowed. With the hoverford stowed, knee articulation is severely restricted, but if you extend it out a bit you can get full use of the original articulation range.

Either way, this kit has a similar yet distinctly different personality compared to the Titans color version, and for AOZ fans it seems like a variation kit well worth picking up. :-)
