This kit is the SD Biten Gundam Choshogun, released as a side story to SD Sengoku-den. It's a spinoff kit that snuck in partway through the release of the Shin SD Sengoku-den: Legend of the Great General arc, so it sits in a bit of an awkward spot lineup-wise. Since it belongs to a different lineup, the visuals and overall feel are quite different from its predecessors — and with system injection applied, it boasts a relatively colorful look.

Like its predecessors, it still features the ability to attach parts while still on the runner, and the spring-loaded projectile weapon here is the Cluster Bowgun, which can also be folded up when mounted on the shoulder. You can also separate and reattach the chest armor and backpack to form a standalone Core Cluster, with the remaining body becoming Biten Gundam — so the lore setup is that Biten Gundam Choshogun is essentially Biten Gundam combined with the Core Cluster.

It's an SD Gundam with a uniquely striking look in a lot of ways, and it seems like a great SD kit that comes highly recommended on the visual front. :-)
