Premium Bandai has finally expanded the AOZ Master Grade series with the addition of the Hazel Custom in its Titans color and specifications. This color, newly adopted for the combat-deployed model, is meticulously reproduced with new colors, adding an authentic touch to this Master Grade kit.

The kit also comes with newly designed water decal sheet to match the specifications in the AOZ  series.

The included weapons are:

• Beam Rifle
• Beam Saber
• Titans-Colored Shield
• Shield Booster

After Lt. Wes Murphy's Gundam TR-1 [Hazel] was heavily damaged in combat with Zeon remnants, it was repaired and upgraded using parts from an RGM-79Q GM Quel and spare Hazel parts. The upgraded version, named "Hazel Custom," incorporates combat data and development knowledge from the original Hazel, resulting in a more balanced and complete mobile suit.

Key Upgrades and Features:

• Enhanced Parts: Better integrated with the internal structure for a unified appearance and improved performance.
• Increased Performance: Lighter weight and increased thruster output provide roughly 10% greater acceleration.
• Experimental Cockpit: Equipped with a 360-degree panoramic monitor and linear seat system, along with an upgraded operating system.
• Model Number: Changed from RX-121 to RX-121-1.
• Shield: Uses a standard shield instead of the unique shield boosters, which were lost in previous battles, temporarily reducing mobility.
• Armor: Remains mostly grey due to time constraints preventing a repaint in Titans colors.

Technical Specifications:

• Basic Specs: Similar to those of the GM Quel, including generator and thruster performance.
• Leg Sections: House thermonuclear rocket engines with an output of 17,500 kg each.
• Backpack: Equipped with a movable booster pod and a thermonuclear reactor serving as a supplemental generator and hybrid jet/rocket engine with an output of 390 kW and 18,000 kg.
• Support Actuator Units: Retained from the original Hazel, allowing for the same equipment and enhancement parts.
• Weapon Latch: Located on the center skirt armor and above the cockpit hatch for flexible weapon options.

Mobility Forms:

• High Mobility Form: Identical to the original Hazel.
• Assault Form: Equipped with the booster pod from the RMS-117 Galbaldy β High Mobility Type, two shield boosters, and the extendable shield from the Galbaldy β.

The Hazel Custom offers significant performance improvements and advanced capabilities, making it a formidable mobile suit in combat.
