This kit is the RG 00 Qan[T] (Trans-Am Mode) [Metallic Gloss Injection], released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It's a kit that takes the molded color of the standard RG 00 Qan[T]and swaps it out for Trans-Am colors. There's no new tooling — it's a straightforward color variant — but the gloss injection gives it a distinctive shine all its own.

Since the kit itself is identical to the original, all you really need to focus on in this review is how the molded colors have changed. It's still the most consistently well-made kit in the 00 series, with both articulation and joint strength coming in at A-grade. One thing worth noting, though: unlike previous RG Trans-Am Mode kits that were labeled "Gloss Injection Ver.," this one carries the title "Metallic Gloss Injection." The addition of metallic molding on top of the smooth gloss injection finish does make the color feel a little different compared to other RG Trans-Am Mode kits. (See the comparison photos above.)

Sure, it's a straightforward Trans-Am Mode color variant that you could see coming from a mile away — but the molded colors look great and the overall quality is top-notch. If you're a fan of the 00 series and love the Trans-Am color scheme, this is probably the first RG kit I'd point you toward. :-)
