This kit is the Tenchi Gundam, released as part of the Shin SD Sengokuden: Seven Shogun arc. It's a series based on the concept of legendary heroes being reincarnated, and Tenchi Gundam is the reincarnated form of the Three Great Gundam Generals. Beyond the main body, it also includes a small and cute Core Bée, which you can combine to build either a Core Booster or G-Fortress configuration — that's one of the highlights of this kit.

The Tanegashima Dragun is included as a spring-loaded projectile firing gimmick, and like some previous kits in the line, there's also the feature of attaching parts while still on the runner. On top of that, compared to the usual plain SD articulation, an added joint lets the arms raise out to the sides, which gives you a bit more flexibility when posing.

All in all, the Core Bée — which feels like a core fighter brought to life — is the real highlight of this kit, and overall it's a solid, no-frills SD kit. :-)
