Combine with the separately sold Booster Pack Cockpit/Insect Leg/Booster to build Blockade Ivy.

This kit is the Booster Pack 009 Sniper Cannon from the Hexa Gear series. It was released alongside Booster Packs 7, 8, and 10 — Cockpit/Insect Leg/Booster— and the idea is that you combine all four Booster Packs to build Blockade Ivy. This particular kit is the block that handles the top-mounted weaponry.

The overall parts count is on the simpler side for the series, so there isn't a whole lot to dig into. Gimmick-wise, you get a sliding scope on top along with a folding joint for stowing it away. On top of that, the scope mount can be swapped out for a different joint part. It's quite long overall, so it really feels like it's best suited for larger Hexa Gear kits like the V-Thor.

So while it can hold its own as a standalone weapon accessory kit, it seems like it'd be most useful for folks looking to build Blockade Ivy or add some firepower to a larger kit like the V-Thor. :-)
