Actually, HG/RT.com keeps stating it as a *YF-1R,* and RT.com's got a piece about it. Also, I have the YF-1R Super Poseable. It's okay, but its colors (dark brown) are anything but low-viz... unless it's uber-overcast. It's makes the CF's brown look real bright.
According to HG (*snickersnicker*), the 1R is supposed to be upgrade the 1A and 1J. The center head laser is supposedly an pulse autocannon for downing incoming missiles???
For a head unit placed weapon, that just doesn't seem plausible... right?
