Together with the predecessor, BB Senshi No. 124 V-Dash Gundam.

This is the SD V2 Assault Buster Gundam, released as BB Senshi No. 129. True to its name, it's a kit that comes fully loaded with all of the V2 Gundam's armaments, letting you build the Buster, Assault, and Assault Buster configurations. On top of that, transformation parts are included, so you can disassemble and reassemble it into a Core Fighter and Top/Bottom Fighter.

It also features BB Senshi original gimmicks letting you recreate the V2 Destroyed Type and V2 Bomber, and a variety of beam parts including the Wings of Light are included to add some real impact to your poses. As a bonus, there's even a gimmick where you move a lever on the back of the head to flip a sniper mode eye patch down over one eye.

The main body itself follows a pretty typical early SD Gundam build, but it does add a gimmick that lets the shoulders swing out to the side, and the Assault unit even comes with gold-plated parts. This kit's real appeal is that it gives you the full V2 Gundam experience with every option included — and then in 1999, it was repackaged with an additional blue Assault-exclusive rifle as the G Generation V2 Gundam— so keep that in mind! :-)
