This kit is the SD Command Gundam released as part of the SD Command Senki G-Arms series. Unlike the Musha Gundam series, this one follows a side-story design based on the classic Gundam aesthetic, and its standout feature is the impressive array of weapons it comes with.

First off, you can build it in three different configurations depending on the weapon loadout: the Light Armor Type, which serves as the base form; the Standard Equipment Command Gundam, which adds a lightweight backpack, knife, missile pod, machine gun, and NC Heavy Gun; and finally the Heavy Weapon Command Gundam, which piles on additional weapons and a large backpack.

With so many weapons in the mix, it's no surprise that three of them are spring-loaded projectile launchers. On top of that, you can combine the backpack, machine gun, NC Heavy Gun, and missile pod to form a massive Mega Bazooka Launcher. Pair that with the Heavy Weapon Command Gundam and it pulls off a pretty convincing firing pose — they really did a nice job with that.

Anyway, while it did eventually get renewed as part of the Legend series, the original SD Command Gundam still delivers great value with its rich configuration options and solid color scheme. All things considered, this is one of the better old-school SD Gundam kits out there — easy to recommend to just about anyone. :-)
