Combine all parts from these 4 kits to build the Resurrected Yami Shogun with Dark Armor equipped.

This kit is the Tetra Gundam, released as part of the Shin SD Sengokuden: Seven Super Generals series. It's a series built around the concept of reincarnated heroes from the past, and Tetra Gundam's backstory has it receiving the power of light from the Shinseidai Shogun. So the kit comes with both a Light Armor and a Dark Armor — put the Dark Armor on the base body and you get the standard form, add the weapons on top of that and it becomes the Dark Power Unleashed form. Finally, swap in the Light Armor and you've got the full Tetra Gundam — that's how the configuration works.

This multi-stage armor setup is faithfully reproduced just as the lore describes, and both the Light Armor and Dark Armor can each be mounted on the large shield separately. As for special parts, fluorescent seals for the shoulders are included — dim the lights and they glow just like phosphorescent paint. There's also a rifle with a spring-loaded gimmick that actually fires a bullet.

For crossover features with other kits, the binders can be used with SD Kidou Musha Daikou, and SD Musha Victory's backpack can also be attached. You can also do a crossover by collecting the Dark Armor parts from SD Musha Sazabi, Musha Dio, Musha Psycho Mk-II, and Wakazakuto. (More crossover configurations to be added in future updates.)

Either way, this kit holds a special place as the final entry in the Seven Super Generals lineup, and if you're a fan of this series, you'll definitely want to collect all 7 kits to get the full experience. :-)
