This kit is the Gundam Base exclusive HGUC Unicorn Gundam Perfectibility (Destroy Mode). True to its name, it's a unit that brings together all of the Unicorn Gundam's various armaments — starting with the Phenex Narrative Ver. fitted with the original Unicorn head antenna, and adding Banshee's Armed Armor VN/BS/XC plus the Hyper Beam Jabelin on top of that. The kit is ultimately made up of runners combined from the following kits:

1. HGUC Unicorn Gundam
[Destroy Mode] - Main body
2. HGUC Unicorn Gundam Banshee (Destroy Mode) - Armed Armor VN & Armed Armor BS deployed parts
3. HGUC Unicorn Gundam Banshee (Unicorn Mode) - Armed Armor BS stowed parts
4. HGUC Unicorn Gundam Banshee Norn (Destroy Mode) - Armed Armor XC & Armed Armor DE
5. HGUC Unicorn Gundam 03 Phenex
[Destroy Mode]
[Narrative Ver.] - Stabilizers
6. HGUC Full Armor Unicorn Gundam (Destroy Mode) Red Color Ver. - Hyper Beam Jabelin

So while it recycles armaments from a whole bunch of different kits, there is one newly sculpted part added — the backpack joint piece that connects the two Armed Armor DEs. As the kit name suggests, it's centered around Destroy Mode parts, so you can't configure it in Unicorn Mode. That said, the Armed Armor BS on the right arm does include parts for both Unicorn and Destroy Mode, so you can swap between the stowed and deployed states.

The main body is the same as the existing HGUC Unicorn, so it still delivers solid articulation and joint strength. It's bulked up quite a bit with all the extra armaments, but it handles standing upright and action poses in the air just fine on its own. Compared to Perfectibility kits in other grades, it's also lighter and more structurally stable — and since the exterior is fixed in Destroy Mode, it's just a lot easier to handle overall.

All in all, this kit does a great job of delivering on the concept of gathering every Unicorn armament in one place. Being an HGUC, it's structurally more stable than the MG or RG versions and comes in at a lower price too, making it the most recommended starting point for anyone new to Perfectibility. Either way, if you're a Unicorn fan and the look appeals to you, this is a fantastic kit with a lineup that's sure to satisfy. :-)
