Weapons loadout.
A dedicated module has been added to the front of the original Zowort beam gun, upgrading it into a long beam gun.
There's also a grenade launcher mounted underneath the long beam gun.

Just like the original beam gun, the long beam gun has a movable grip,
so there's no need to remove the back-of-hand parts when putting it in the hand.

They're not hinged though — they're removable and rotate into place to attach.

Together with the HG Zowort.

This kit is the HG Zowort Heavy, released as part of the Mobile Suit Gundam "The Witch from Mercury" series. Based on the previously released HG Zowort, it adds a bunch of weapons on top of the base kit. The main body gets its molded color changed to an olive drab, along with a redesigned front section of the head. Battery magazine mounts have been added to the front of both thighs, and beam cannons and missile launchers have been added to the backpack. On top of that, a dedicated module added to the front of the original beam gun upgrades it into a long beam gun.

Everything else about the base kit is identical to the HG Zowort, and it still delivers top-tier build quality, articulation, and joint strength. The Zowort already had great style to begin with, and adding a military-flavored molded color plus all the extra weapons makes it feel like an even better value. As a bonus gimmick, you can swap the battery magazine mount on the front of the left thigh to attach the battery magazine removed from the long beam gun directly onto the thigh.

All in all, this is an upgraded take on the already excellent HG Zowort, and it shows off the same clean, quality feel. If you're a fan of The Witch from Mercury or just dig the look, don't hesitate — just go for it. :-)
