This is the Tekki Musha Bakushinmaru, released as part of the Shin SD Sengokuden Mushin Kirakou-hen line. It's a variation kit of the SD Tekki Musha Kougan, and while the design differs in some areas, it transforms between Musha Mode and Real Mode in exactly the same way. The transformation process is nearly identical, and it also stores a Gatling cannon inside the forearm just like its counterpart.

The difference this time is that the concept is a tank rather than a flying vehicle — you can rearrange the main body and weapons to form the Musha Omega Tank. You can also gather just the weapons separately to build a more compact Mega Tank configuration. On top of that, there's a light armor type configuration that wasn't available with the Tekki Musha Kougan.

Another standout feature of this kit is its incredible collaboration options. You can break the body down piece by piece and use the parts as weapons or backpacks for SD Musha Godmaru, Musha Rose, Musha Max, Hwi-ryong Gundam, and Tetra Gundam. In other words, it basically sacrifices its entire body to provide option parts for other kits — and interestingly, while the kit itself is from the Mushin Kirakou-hen series, the collaboration partners are all kits from the earlier Chou Kidou Dai Shogun-hen.

Anyway, even though it's a variation kit, it has plenty of personality and is genuinely useful as a collaboration source for other kits. If you're a fan of Real Mode transformations, this is definitely one to add to your collection. :-)
