The second Iron-Blooded Arms release is the MS Option Set 2 + Mobile Worker (Space Type) kit. Just as the name suggests, it includes weapon accessories usable across multiple kits along with a space-use Mobile Worker. There's a good variety of accessories in here, though most of them are geared toward the Graze Custom and Hyakuri.

For the Graze Custom, you can attach the large shoulder parts, bazooka, and ground-use booster unit. They look pretty cool and seem to fit the design well. The ground-use booster can take a bit of fiddling to get into a natural pose after attaching — you really need to dial in the angles of the arms and lower body to make it look right.

The bazooka connects to a rotating mount on the shoulder, and you can swing it from back to front and lock it in place for a firing pose. You can also swap the bazooka out for the shield from MS Option Set 1. On top of that, a grenade launcher and rocket launcher are included for use with Hyakuri, and they can be secured to the backpack using the joint parts.

Finally, the space-use Mobile Worker is similar in shape to the ground-type from MS Option Set 1, but it adds a long propellant tank at the rear and boosters at the tips of its three legs. Just like the ground version, it's molded entirely in plain gray, so painting is a must if you want it to look its best.

All in all, if you already have the Graze Custom and Hyakuri, this is a pretty worthwhile option kit — and it's definitely more useful than the Build Customs accessory sets that were full of rather random original designs. :-)
