The fifth entry in the Iron-Blooded Orphans Arms series is the MS Option Set 5 & Tekkadan Mobile Worker, and just like the previous sets, it follows the same formula of weapons plus a version-specific Mobile Worker. The weapons are mainly geared toward the HG Barbatos Lupus, though the guide also shows some of them being used with the Hugo and Gundam Gusion Rebake Full City.

The weapons included are four types: two 200mm cannons that mount on the HG Barbatos Lupus's forearms, a twin mace, a long rifle, and a buster sword. The Mobile Worker is a new Tekkadan-type design. The overall quality of the weapons is solid enough for an HG-grade kit, with a good amount of detail achieved using a relatively small number of parts.

It's still a set that sits squarely in the "not great, not bad" territory in terms of content and quality — but if you've built the HG Barbatos Lupus, this looks like a pretty handy weapons pack to have. :-)
