Together with the Ariel.
Along with the added weapons, the molded colors have been changed across the board.

This kit is the Ariel Supplice Opening Ver., released as part of the Armored Core NEXT series. It's based on the existing Arielwith changed molded colors and a variety of added weapons. The body's molded colors have also been subtly changed overall.

First off, the weapons from the limited-release Ariel Supplice ~ Night Battle Version have been added, and on top of that, the weapons from the Ariel Krasnya are included as well — making this essentially a full-option kit for the Ariel. Thanks to that, you can build it in three main configurations: the original Ariel, the Supplice Night Battle Version, and a bonus Krasnya-style version. The rest of the structural features are the same as the Ariel — intricate detail, somewhat limited articulation, and decent joint strength.

So for this review, you'll mainly want to pay attention to the added weapons and the changed molded colors. Like some of the previous kits in the line, think of this as the full package version of the Ariel. That said, since it's based on a kit originally released in 2007, it does feel a bit dated overall — that's just unavoidable. Still, if you're into that distinctive, elaborate detail and style, this looks like a fun precision mecha model kit to enjoy. :-)
