This kit is the Raimei Gundam, released as part of the New SD Sengokuden: Seven Shogun arc. It's a series based on the concept of past heroes being reincarnated, and the Raimei Gundam is the reincarnated form of the 2nd Daishogun. Its defining feature is the massive thunder cannon Dousho (Inazuma) mounted on the rear right.

The spring-loaded projectile-firing gimmick is built into the thunder cannon, and if you lay the main body down and attach it to the cannon, you can also recreate the Inazuma thunder strike form. Beyond that, the articulation is pretty standard SD fare, and the standout pose is firing the thunder cannon with its support brace deployed.

It's relatively light on options and special features, but you can do a pretty wild crossover by gathering parts from 6 other kits to power up the thunder cannon. (I'm still missing a few of those kits, so I'll update this once I track them down.) All in all, it's a solid, no-frills SD kit. :-)
