Gundams

Five mobile suits, called Gundams, were sent to Earth as part of Operation Meteor; a plan whereby rebels would be able to weaken the controlling influence the United Earth Sphere Alliance and the Organization of the Zodiac (OZ) held over the orbital colonies. Although originally sent by the colonies, the Gundams in Gundam Wing are more closely allied to each other than they are to any particular side in the conflict unfolding around them.

XXXG-01W Wing Gundam  

Wing Gundam is one of the five mobile suits sent to Earth as part of Operation Meteor. Wing Gundam is created by Doctor J and launched from the cluster of orbital colonies located at the L1 Lagrange point. Wing Gundam is piloted by the series protagonist Heero Yuy from the beginning of the series until episode 10 when Heero, on orders of Doctor J, activates the self-detonation device and destroys the Gundam. Zechs however, has the suit repaired and returned to Heero so they can have a rematch. When the Gundam pilots return to space, Heero leaves Wing Gundam behind on Earth, due to its inability for space combat ¹². Sally Po later locates Wing Gundam and has it sent to the Sanc Kingdom, where Heero eventually arrives at and retrieves his Gundam. Heero uses Wing Gundam to defend the Sanc Kingdom until episode 33 when Heero finally abandons it for the more powerful Gundam Epyon. OZ later recovers the abandoned suit, has it repaired and also equips it with boosters, enabling it for space travel. Wing Gundam's final appearance is when Lady Une uses it to save Treize Khushrenada in where it is destroyed for the second and final time.

XXXG-01D Gundam Deathscythe  

Deathscythe is one of the five mobile suits sent to Earth as part of Operation Meteor. Deathscythe was launched from the cluster of orbital colonies located at the L2 Lagrange point at the beginning of the series. Deathscythe was piloted by Duo Maxwell from the start of the series until his capture by OZ in episode 19. The damaged suit was retrieved by OZ, studied to provide the basis of the Vayeate and Mercurius prototype mobile suits, and then destroyed as pro-OZ propaganda. The five rebel scientists responsible for building the Gundams (who are at this point captured and forced to work on the two prototype suits), retrieve the components and begin to rebuild and upgrade the Deathscythe to the Deathscythe Hell, improving its weapons, as well making it compatible for space combat³. The partially completed Deathscythe Hell first appears in episode 23, and is activated in episode 25, when Duo and Chang Wufei escape OZ. Duo salvages the parts to finish the upgrade as seen in Episode 32 and Deathscythe Hell is involved heavily in the fighting leading up to the conclusion of the series.

XXXG-01H Gundam Heavyarms  

Gundam Heavyarms is one of the five mobile suits sent to Earth as part of Operation Meteor. Heavyarms is designed by Doctor S and launched from the cluster of orbital colonies located at the L3 Lagrange point at the beginning of the series. Heavyarms's first major appearance is in episode 3, and is piloted by Trowa Barton until episode 17, at which point the Gundam is abandoned so Trowa can travel into space and infiltrate OZ. The Gundam is recovered by Sally Po at a point prior to episode 41, who helps deliver it into space. After arriving in space, Heavyarms is upgraded to the Heavyarms Kai to make it suitable for space combat, and is involved heavily in the fighting leading up to the conclusion of the series. Heavyarms holds the distinction of being the only Gundam to survive the events of Gundam Wing relatively intact; it was not completely destroyed until Endless Waltz, and the design upgrade did not require a complete rebuild of the mobile suit.

XXXG-01SR Gundam Sandrock  

Gundam Sandrock is one of the five mobile suits sent to Earth as part of Operation Meteor. Sandrock was designed by Instructor H and launched from the cluster of orbital colonies located at the L4 Lagrange point. Sandrock was piloted by Quatre Raberba Winner from episode 1 until episode 17, where Sandrock is destroyed, allowing all five Gundam pilots to launch into space. The remains of Sandrock are retrieved in episode 20 by Sally Po and the Maganac Corps, the latter wishing to rebuild the Gundam for when they next meet Quatre. Quatre learns of the rebuilt Sandrock in episode 35, and retrieves it before travelling back into space in the next episode. In episode 40, Sandrock is upgraded to Sandrock Kai to make it suitable for space combat, and is involved heavily in the fighting leading up to the conclusion of the series.

XXXG-01S Shenlong Gundam  

Shenlong Gundam is one of the five mobile suits sent to Earth as part of Operation Meteor. Shenlong was designed by Master O, and was launched from the cluster of orbital colonies located at the L5 Lagrange point. The suit is piloted by Chang Wufei from the beginning of the series until episode 22, when Wufei and Shenlong is captured by the Romefeller Foundation in space. The five scientists who designed the original Gundams are being held prisoner by OZ, and are forced to produce new mobile suits based on Gundam technology. In episode 23, it is revealed that the five scientists are secretly upgrading Shenlong, along with Deathscythe. Among the upgrades include increased weaponry and the ability to maneuver effectively in space⁴. The incomplete Altron Gundam is activated in episode 25, and Wufei takes the mobile suit to his home colony, in order to finish the upgrade. This is completed by or before episode 35, and Wufei takes part in the events leading up to the end of the series.

Other Gundams

XXXG-00W0 Wing Gundam Zero  

The Wing Gundam Zero, also referred to as Wing Zero, is the predecessor of all Gundams. Quatre Raberba Winner discovers a copy of the blueprints and begins work on the Gundam to replace his destroyed Gundam Sandrock. The completed Wing Zero first appears in episode 24, with Quatre at the controls, driven mentally unstable from the combination of his father's death and exposure to the ZERO System. Heero Yuy and Trowa Barton are sent to take on Wing Zero. The pair are able to return Quatre to normalcy, although at the apparent cost of Trowa's life, and Heero and Quatre are captured. OZ continues to test the ZERO System with Heero and Duo Maxwell until each of them escape. When OZ plans to destroy the Gundam, Zechs Merquise sacrifices his Tallgeese in order to claim Wing Zero for himself. Zechs pilots Wing Zero until he and Heero exchanges suits after the dissolution of the Sanc Kingdom in episode 37. Heero finally masters the ZERO System and pilots the Gundam until the series conclusion when the Wing Zero uses its Twin Buster Rifle to destroy the wreckage of the battleship Libra superweapon before it can impact with Earth.

OZ-13MS Gundam Epyon  

Gundam Epyon is created by Treize Khushrenada during his exile beginning in episode 26 of the anime. It is based on the five Gundams sent from space, and on the Tallgeese, the prototype mobile suit from which all military mobile suits are derived, and it is considered to be the second most powerful Gundam in the series. The suit first appears at the end of episode 28, a clip show. The completed Epyon is presented to Heero Yuy by Treize in episode 34. Heero pilots it until episode 37, when he and Zechs Merquise meet in combat. Following the battle, in which Zechs is piloting Wing Zero, the two pilots exchange suits. Zechs uses Epyon until the conclusion of the series, becoming a symbol for the White Fang rebellion. He uses the suit to single-handedly destroy OZ Space Fortress Barge in episode 41, and engages in combat with Heero Yuy again during episodes 44, 48, and 49. Following the disabling of Epyon at the conclusion of this battle, Zechs uses the Gundam to destroy part of the Battleship Libra, a superweapon, stolen from OZ by the White Fang, set on a collision course with Earth.

OZ-14MS Gundam Aquarius  

Gundam Aquarius is a mobile suit appearing only in the SD Gundam G Generation video game SD Gundam: G Generation F. The Aquarius was designed by Treize Kushrenada at the same time as the Gundam Epyon. The Aquarius was designed as an anti-mobile doll weapon, broadcasting a computer virus disrupting the friend-or-foe identification systems and rendering the dolls ineffective. Most of the appearances in the video game depict the Aquarius as a suit on automatic pilot, ironically similar to a mobile doll. The only instance of the suit with a human pilot is when Lady Une pilots the mobile suit during a single mission in the expansion pack SD Gundam: G Generation F.I.F.⁵

Gundams in G-Unit

New Mobile Report Gundam Wing Dual Story: G-Unit, released in the United States as Mobile Suit Gundam: The Last Outpost, features six new Gundams created by Koichi Tokita.

GU01A/GU02A Gundam Geminass  

The Geminass suits were the first of Dr. Berg's experimental G-Unit mobile suits, based loosely on the original Tallgeese design. The original MO-V Gundams designed by Dr. Berg, Geminass 01 and 02 are assigned at the start of the manga to rookie Odin Barnett and his older brother Odel respectively. Both suits are identical in design and function, although the PX System in 01 was inactive until Odin could learn to use it in chapter 3. Both suits can be equipped with a 'space unit', allowing them to maneuver and fight in exo-atmospheric conditions. Geminass 01 is later upgraded to the Gundam L.O. Booster. Geminass 02 is destroyed in chapter 2, salvaged by OZ Prize, remodeled as Gundam Aesculapius, and later recaptured by its original pilot.

OZ-10VMSX Gundam Aesculapius  

Following the salvage of the remains of Geminass 02, Gundam Aesculapius is constructed by OZ Prize and Dr. Berg (who is shown to be a spy for the Romafeller Foundation). The new components allow the suit to function in two roles; high mobility, and close combat. The suit is initially piloted by OZ Prize member Roche Nattono, who is unable to control the PX System. The suit is then used by Odel Bernett, who infiltrated OZ Prize following the destruction of Geminass 02. He continues to use it following the revelation of his identity and 'defection' to MO-V, up until the end of the series.

OZX-GU01LOB Gundam L.O. Booster  

The Gundam L.O. Booster is upgraded from the original Geminass 01 , based on plans left behind by the traitorous Dr. Berg. The upgraded components are constructed during the events of chapter 4, and the completed mobile suit is first seen in chapter 5.

OZ-15AGX Hydra Gundam  

The Hydra Gundam first appears in chapter 5. It is piloted by Valder Farkill, a mobile suit ace earning distinction in the purge of the United Earth Sphere Alliance. The main feature of the Hydra Gundam is its ability to fold back its legs and use the thrusters housed underneath the skirt armor for high speed maneuvers. The suit is equipped with an electro-magnetic shield. The Hydra and its pilot are destroyed by Gundam Griepe in the final chapter of the manga.

OZ-19MASX Gundam Griepe  

The Gundam Griepe is a transformable mobile suit first appearing in chapter 7 of the manga. The Griepe features the same modular design of the original Geminass suits, and shares many of the same parts, including the performance increasing PX System. The Griepe is heavily damaged in a battle against the Hydra in chapter 11. Although victorious, Odin is forced to use the modular G-Unit system and components from Odel's Aesculapius and Roche Nattano's L.O. Booster Gundams in order to keep the Griepe active for long enough to take out the OZ Prize space battleship Granshiro.

Other mobile suits

OZ-00MS Tallgeese  

The Tallgeese is the predecessor of all mobile suits used through Gundam Wing. Introduced in episode 9, the suit is extremely powerful, but also physically and mentally strenuous to the point of physical harm on its pilots. Zechs almost died when he first pilots Tallgeese, but he eventually masters the suit. Tallgeese is the only mobile suit capable of matching a Gundam in combat. At a point between episodes 18 and 22, Tallgeese is modified for space travel, allowing Zechs (as Milliardo Peacecraft) to visit the colonies. Tallgeese is self-detonated in episode 34, allowing Zechs to claim Wing Gundam Zero. A second Tallgeese is built from spare parts left over from the original Tallgeese project and piloted by Treize Khushrenada during the final battle from episode 46 to episode 48. This Tallgeese is destroyed when Treize allows Chang Wufei, piloting the Altron Gundam, to kill him in combat. A third Tallgeese that has superior armaments to the first two appears in Endless Waltz when Zechs returns from his self-imposed exile and uses it against the Mariemaia Army.

OZ-06MS Leo  

The Leo is named after the Zodiacal constellation Leo, following the convention established for mass-produced suits in the anime. Leos are operated by both the United Earth Sphere Alliance military and the Organization of the Zodiac (OZ), and multiple variants are in use. Leo is a simplified and scaled down version of the first military mobile suit Tallgeese.⁶

OZ-07AMS Aries  

The Aries is a flight-capable mobile suit named after the Zodiacal constellation Aries. The Aries was described as a flight-capable mobile suit shortly after the Leo was completed, and is used to support United Earth Sphere Alliance ground forces. To fly, the suit's limbs must be folded into its body.⁷

OZ-07MS Tragos  

The Tragos is an old mobile suit design commonly used as artillery. It is named after the Greek word for "goat". It is the only mass-produced mobile suit designed by OZ not to be named after a Zodiac constellation, although it is considered to represent Capricorn.⁸

OZ-08MMS Cancer  

The Cancer is an early series of submersible mobile suits named after the Zodiac constellation of Cancer. The Cancer was first deployed in the early AC 190s (five years before the events of the anime), and was the first amphibious mobile suit. Cancers are the least humanoid suit design, resembling the crab, after which the star sign is named. Torpedo launchers are carried in the suit's "claws" and it is capable of folding into a more streamlined design for underwater travel.⁹

OZ-09MMS Pisces  

The Pisces is a series of amphibious mobile suits named after the Zodiac constellation of Pisces. The Pisces was first deployed in the early AC 190s (five years before the events of the anime), and was considered state of the art at the time of the series events. The Pisces is capable of transforming into a recognizably humanoid form, allowing it to walk on the ocean floor, perform labor tasks, and participate in amphibious assaults.¹⁰

OZ-12SMS Taurus  

The Taurus is a space-combat mobile suit named after the Zodiac constellation of Taurus. The Taurus mobile suit is still in development at the start of the anime, although training prototypes are available for the events of episode 4, and the deployment of the first complete batch of Tauruses is central to the plot of episode 10. It can transform into a fighter spacecraft. The Taurus design was used as a basis for the Mercurius and Vayeate suits, significantly improving on the overall design. Although originally designed for human pilots, the Mobile Doll artificial intelligence system is installed in the mobile suits before episode 19, making them the first AI-controlled mobile suits. Although the Taurus would be replaced by the pilot-less Virgo suits over the course of the anime, Tauruses found use up until the end of the series, with the Sanc Kingdom and the White Fang both using acquired Taurus suits. Sanc Kingdom Tauruses were modified for atmospheric combat, as shown in episode 31. Mobile Doll Tauruses were also used in Endless Waltz, first to protect the captured colony of L3 X18999, then to distract the Preventers for a time from the real events.¹¹

OZ-13MSX1 Vayeate  

The Vayeate was designed with an offensive role in mind, and was armed with only a beam cannon that has an output equal to the Wing Gundam's buster rifle, but was powered by a back-mounted particle accelerator to overcome the Wing Gundam's three shot capacity. A smaller version of this beam cannon was later used in OZ's mass production mobile doll, the Virgo. The Vayeate was piloted by OZ infiltrator Trowa Barton, whose combat data was recorded to be used for the Virgo's AI control system. It was heavily damaged in a fight with Quatre Winner in the Wing Zero. The remains of the suit were captured by the terrorist group White Fang, where the five Gundam scientists were imprisoned and forced to rebuild the suit with a mobile doll control system loaded with Trowa's combat data. The Vayeate was destroyed, along with the Mercurius, by Duo Maxwell and the Deathscythe Hell when it was dispatched to pursue Hilde Schbeiker.

OZ-13MSX2 Mercurius  

The Mercurius was designed with a defensive strategy in mind, and was armed with a small beam spray gun and a large shield, called a "Crash Shield," which had a powerful beam saber integrated into it. It was also equipped with a set of ten planet defensors, which were small disc-shaped objects which projected an energy shield to protect the Mercurius or another mobile suit from virtually any attack. The planet defensors were later used in OZ's mass production mobile doll, the Virgo. The Mercurius was piloted by captured Gundam pilot Heero Yuy, whose combat data was recorded to be used for the Virgo's AI control system. When Quatre Winner went on a rampage with the newly built Wing Zero, Heero Yuy was dispatched with OZ infiltrator Trowa Barton to capture or destroy the renegade Gundam. In order to stop Quatre, Heero activated the Mercurius self-destruct device, but was unsuccessful. The remains of the suit were captured by the terrorist group White Fang, who had the Gundam scientists use Heero's combat data to install a mobile doll control system in the suit when it was rebuilt. The Mercurius was destroyed, along with the Vayeate, by Duo Maxwell and the Deathscythe Hell when it was dispatched to pursue Hilde Schbeiker.

OZ-02MD Virgo  

The Virgo series are mobile dolls requiring no pilots to control. It can function and combat on its own while it can also receive commands from a central terminal. The name "Virgo" is derived from the constellation, continuing OZ's trend of naming their mobile suits in such fashion. The Virgo model is a combined gestalt of the Mercurius and Vayeate, the result being a body design heavily reminiscent of both suits, with the Vayeate's beam cannon built into the right arm and the Mercurius' planet defensors built into the left shoulder. It was later replaced by an upgraded variant, the Virgo II, which had a few minor improvements over the original.

MMS-01 Serpent  

The Serpent is a series of mobile suits appearing solely in the Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz and are the main opponent of the Gundams. The first example of a Serpent fighting was with Trowa at the controls, although all later appearances were piloted by unnamed Mariemeia Army suit pilots. The three Gundams (Deathscythe Hell, Heavyarms, Sandrock) were put into a hard fight against 250 Serpents. Following the death of Dahkem Barton, the whole Serpent army dropped their weapons and surrendered.

OZ-16MSX-D Scorpio  

The Scorpio is a single large mobile suit appearing solely in the Battlefield of Pacifists manga. The Scorpio is a one-of-a-kind mobile suit developed to guard the Mobile Doll factory of Vulkanus. Between the events of Gundam Wing and Endless Waltz, several groups began searching for Vulkanus, which had drifted out of its stable orbit. The Scorpio attacked those who found the site, until Perfect Peace People leader Victor Gaintz used the suit's codes to disable the Mobile Doll system and become its pilot. Gaintz was killed by Heero Yuy and Wing Zero.

WMS-03 Maganac  

The Maganac is the mobile suit that makes up the majority of the Maganac Corps' private army. The Maganac is comparable to the standard Leo mobile suit fielded by the Earth militaries. It is designed for desert conditions, but is shown fighting in many Earth environments and in space over the course of the anime and manga. The Maganac Corps often fight as a combined force; either on their own or in support of Gundam pilot Quatre Raberba Winner and Gundam Sandrock. Each Maganac mobile suit is customized to some degree by its pilot. These upgrades ranged from cosmetic alterations to increases in armor or weaponry.¹²

WMS-04 Olifant  

Based on the Maganac's design, the Olifant lacks manipulator arms and standard legs, instead using a hovercraft propulsion system to skim across the desert. The suit is armed with a large beam cannon and a turret mounted gatling gun, while possessing heavy armor. Olifants are primarily defensive in nature, and appear only in a small number of episodes; first appearing in episode 11.
