Weapons loadout

The Flame Launcher fires projectiles via a spring mechanism

A sword can be stored in the rear section of the Flame Launcher.

For the transformation, the head can be slid back and rotated 180 degrees.

You can reattach the armor and weapons onto the transformed body to create Mechanimal Mode.

This is the SD Shiranui Gundam released as part of the New SD Sengokuden: Strongest on Earth series. It's based on the Gundam Mk-V concept, and like the Nioh Gundam, it comes with a unique transformation and combination gimmick. You slide the head back, rotate it, then reattach the weapons and armor to turn it into a mechanical boar-like Mechanimal Mode.

Also like the Nioh Gundam, there are no plated parts, but you do get those fancy jewel 3D seals instead. The on-runner assembly feature is still here too. The Flame Launcher has a spring-loaded projectile firing mechanism and a sword storage slot in the back — though the fit is pretty loose and the sword tends to fall out easily.

The kits in the Strongest on Earth series come in groups of three, each with a special combination feature. This time, you can combine Ashura Gundam, Nioh Gundam, and Shiranui Gundam through a fairly complex process to form Trinity Mode. On top of that, you can combine all three Gundams' shields into the Shield of Radiance, and even mount Trinity Mode on top of it.

As the kit that wraps up the series, this one is definitely more fun when you build it alongside the Asura and Nioh Gundams. :-)
