You can attach beam parts to the newly added Artimes beam saber.
Though it's a bit large to call it just a beam saber handle.

The rotating section of the long range rifle has 3 locking grooves that need to align with the peg on the left binder.
Because of this, you can't rotate it to any arbitrary angle — only 3 fixed positions are available.

The transformation process into glider mode is mostly the same as the existing HG Gundam AGE-2, but
you need to split the Artimes beam saber and pull out the handle,
then shift the mounting hole one slot to make it more compact and plug it into the chest.

Leftover parts from the HG Gundam AGE-1 and AGE-2 Double Bullet

This is the HG Gundam AGE-1 Razor & Gundam AGE-2 Artimes Set, released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. As the name suggests, it adds the Razor/Artimes upgrade wear parts to the HG Gundam AGE-1 and AGE-2. These upgrade wear parts were originally included as a bonus with the December 2012 issue of Dengeki Hobby Magazine, and this kit bundles them together with the base kits.

First up, the Gundam AGE-1 Razor has had most of its design changed except for the head and torso core, giving it a pretty fresh look. The highlight is the attack poses using the two lasers stored in the forearms. That said, the green laser sections are covered with seals, which creates a noticeable mismatch — if this had been a proper retail release, clear green beam parts probably would have been used instead. It would've been nice if they'd at least upgraded that part for this re-release, so it's a bit of a letdown.

The Gundam AGE-2 Artimes is characterized by the massive Artimes Long Range Rifles mounted on both shoulders, and with the feet redesigned, a stand becomes essential for this kit. At first glance it looks like it's based on the HG Gundam AGE-2, but it's actually based on the HG Gundam AGE-2 Double Bullet.

The Artimes Long Range Rifles mounted on the shoulders can be adjusted to 3 fixed angles, and can be positioned forward for dynamic poses. The previous armament, the Twin Dods Cannon, can be stored in the binder, and a uniquely shaped large beam saber has been newly added. The transformation into glider mode is mostly the same as before, and the stability after transformation feels solid enough.

Both kits are based on exemplary HG kits with excellent articulation and joint strength, so they still feel great to handle and pose. The real value of this kit is being able to get your hands on the Razor & Artimes upgrade wear parts — which were originally magazine exclusive bonuses — again after 10 years, and it's even more convenient that the base kits are included. For fans of Gundam AGE or anyone who missed out on those old magazine bonuses, this is quite a treat. :-)
