This kit is the MG Gundam Dynames (Trans-Am Mode) [Metalic Gloss Injection], released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It's a kit where the molded color of the MG Gundam Dynamesreleased as the standard edition has been changed to Trans-Am colors. There are no additional parts — it's a straightforward color variant kit.

Since it's simply a molded color change, it came out at the same ¥4500 as the standard edition. Compared to the Trans-Am coating version that barely coated just the purple armor and jacked the price up more than double, this one looks like a much better deal. The included contents and structural characteristics are identical to the original kit, and it still holds up as a clean, high-quality MG. That said, with the metalic gloss injection molding, the tolerances seem to have tightened up a bit — joint strength has gotten noticeably stiffer than it needs to be. Sure, that's better than being loose, but the harder material also makes cleaning up the gates a little more of a pain.

All in all, it's a solid Trans-Am color variant — affordable and good quality. If you like the look, it's definitely worth picking up without hesitation. :-)
