This is the SD Gundam Ashura-oh, released as part of the Shin SD Sengokuden Legend of the Great General series. It follows a similar concept to the previous SD Gundam Hakuryu Taisei, being an upgraded form of SD Ashura Gundam — though the sculpt itself is an entirely different kit. It also shares the feature of including armor pieces meant to be applied to other kits.

Like its predecessors, it includes the gimmick of attaching parts while still on the runner, and the spring-loaded projectile gimmick comes in the form of the VS Cannon, which mounts under the backpack and can be moved at various angles. You can also attach the armor pieces to the backpack to create the Kimuho form, and there's a waist rotation gimmick thrown in as well. As for the bonus armor pieces for other kits, it includes a beast face mask (Jumenmask) to apply to SD Shiranui Gundam to turn it into Shouha Gundam, and a bird face mask (Choumenmask) to apply to SD Nioh Gundam to turn it into Asuka Gundam.

Either way, this kit has a more flashy and elaborate look compared to SD Ashura Gundam, and it'll be especially useful for those who already have SD Shiranui/Nioh Gundam. :-)
