Here's my second straight entry from the Gundam Seed universe, with Gundam Seed Destiny's Akatsuki Gundam. The Akatsuki draws its influence seemingly from the Hyaku Shiki of Zeta Gundam fame, and really any time we can get a metallic gold mobile suit into production I'm all for it. The Akatsuki belongs to Cagalli Yula Atha, who received it as a parting gift from her father, who foresaw the need to protect the nation of ORB. The mobile suit includes its gold armor, which makes it resistant to beam attacks, as well as a myriad of weapons and multiple configurations of backpack.
The accessories for this kit would include its twin beam sabers (like many other gundams from this series capable of combining into a Darth Maul style weapon), its beam rifle, and its shield. It could also be packaged with or sold separately from one or both of its backpacks, including the Oowashi -- an atmospheric flight backpack with mounted beam cannons -- and the Shiranui -- which includes seven dragoons.

As we've seen many different variations of the Strike Gundam and its descendants and siblings (Strike, Strike Rouge, Freedom, Strike Freedom, Aegis, Justice, Infinite Justice, Buster, Blitz, Duel, Impulse, and multiple Astrays) in Master Grade Form, I feel like we should definitely get the chance of adding the Akatsuki in order to fill-out the team.
