Together with the HG Gundam Zabanya Final Battle Ver., released at the same time.

This kit is the HG Gundam Harute (Final Battle Ver.), released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It was released alongside the HG Gundam Zabanya Final Battle Ver., and its biggest feature is the legs being replaced with large Boosters. On top of that, two GN Scissor Bits and a Marute Mode face have been added as new weapons, and a simple stand with an extension part is also included.

Visually, everything apart from the head and legs is identical to the original, but the completely redesigned legs change the overall silhouette quite dramatically. The GN Cannon on the back was already massive, and now with large Boosters in place of the legs, the sheer volume of this thing is enormous. Perched on a stand, it's tall enough to rival most MGs — and even give some PGs a run for their money. The transformation process is the same as before, and thanks to the large Boosters, the flight mode looks even more packed and imposing.

A new Marute Mode face and forehead with six eyes have been added for the head, and you can still build the original Harute head as well. The newly added GN Scissor Bits can be displayed in a deployed state by borrowing a support stand, but due to the nature of the peg connection, you'll need a joint part to swap the male/female ends before you can mount them.

The kit's basic structure is the same as before, so it still delivers solid articulation and joint strength — though the front skirt still tends to pop off easily. Overall, though, the joints are sturdy enough to handle the increased bulk.

Either way, the structural changes here are more significant compared to the Gundam Zabanya. As a variation kit, it's clearly differentiated from the original, so if you like the look or you're a fan of 00, this should be a pretty fun build. :-)
