This is the SD Hyaku Resshou Gundam, released as part of the Shin SD Sengokuden Mushin Kirakou series. It's a kit with a striking oversized backpack and long pipes, and you can configure it in three stages: light armor type, Musha form, and Ki-ryeok Conduit configuration. That said, the backpack is so large that the center of gravity shifts heavily to the rear — without some kind of support propped under the backpack, there's a good chance it'll topple backwards. In my case, I ended up using the post from a clear display stand to keep it upright. ^^;

The Ki-ryeok Conduit that runs from the body to the backpack is provided as a vinyl pipe, and the included weapons are the Bien bow and arrow. You can detach the large backpack and combine its parts to form the Neo Buster Cannon, and slotting the Bien bow in the middle lets you configure it as the Neo Twin Buster. You can also fold the head antennae together, recombine the backpack, and lay it face-down to recreate the Hishou Bakuenkyaku Hassha form. As for crossover compatibility, you can equip it with the SD Rekka Gundam's bow and the Musha Hyaku-Shiki's sword.

So yes, the oversized backpack does throw off the balance, but this kit has the upside of offering quite a variety of weapon combinations. The Mushin Kirakou series as a whole tends to give each kit a strong individual personality, which makes collecting them a bit more fun than some other series. :-)
