You can deploy the parts attached to both sides and have them face forward like shown above.

The joint parts here are extremely fragile, so be careful.
If you rotate them 180 degrees as the manual instructs, the parts will twist and snap. T_T
I only turned it once and it broke on me. The locking pin is stiff, but the part itself just isn't durable enough.
Rather than rotating it in place, it's much safer to pull it out, turn it, then reinsert it. (Warning! Warning!)

You can also detach these parts and configure them into a large shield like shown above.
It's officially called a "large shield," but it's smaller than just about any other shield out there. -_-;;

A ridiculous amount of leftover parts remain.

Limb articulation is on par with the base kit.

The two verniers can move in all directions.

Posed with the large shield equipped (a surprisingly compact size for something called "large"...).

Alongside the base kit, MG Hyaku-Shiki Kai.
The extended thighs and waist make it noticeably taller.

The thigh sculpt is significantly longer compared to the original legs.

The shoulders and forearms have gotten much larger as well.

The calf sculpt has also been changed.

With its sister kit(?) MG Qubeley Damned.
They actually share the same waist parts.

This kit is the MG Hyaku-Shiki Crash, released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It's based on the MG Mass Production Type Hyaku-Shikithat was previously released through Club G. Along with an overall change in molded colors, quite a few more new sculpted parts were added than expected, giving it a remodeled look with its own distinct personality.

First, the extended waist section reuses the same waist as the MG Qubeley Damned.The shoulders and forearms are even larger, the thighs are extended, and the side skirt and calf side panel designs have been changed. The backpack has also been reworked, moving the verniers from the original Mass Production Type Hyaku-Shiki downward, and the binders are bigger and beefier than before. On top of that, the beam rifle has been upgraded with large shield parts added to it, and you can detach them from the rifle to use as a standalone large shield.

There are quite a few design changes like these, and the lengthened waist and thighs in particular make it noticeably taller overall. With the binders getting longer too, the kit's total height has gone up considerably — to the point where it might not fit in some display cases. Much like its sister kit the MG Qubeley Damned, it's grown in both height and volume, and that does give both standing poses and action poses a lot more presence and impact. Otherwise, the basic structure of the body is nearly identical to the MG Mass Production Type Hyaku-Shiki, which is based on the MG Hyaku-Shiki 2.0, so it still delivers excellent articulation and joint strength.

One thing to watch out for: the joint parts connecting the new beam rifle to the large shield parts on either side are very fragile. In theory you can deploy them and rotate 180 degrees, but in my case, after just one 180-degree rotation, the joint part snapped. T_T "Snapped" might not even be the right word — it more like sheared off. The joint's locking section is stiff but made of a soft material, so it can twist and shear apart, similar to the hip joints on the MG Freedom 2.0. I'd strongly recommend not rotating it in place — instead, pull it out, turn it, and then reinsert it.

As long as you watch out for that beam rifle joint part breaking, this is overall a great-looking, quality kit that shows off a real originality quite different from the standard Hyaku-Shiki. If you're a fan of the Build series or the Hyaku-Shiki, or just love a big, beefy kit, this is a fun one worth giving a shot. :-)
