| Wing Gundam is Heero's first Gundam. It is an all around good Gundam with good abilities in all areas. Wing Gundam can take a good bit of punishment, but it later becomes obselete when Wing Zero is created. Weapons: Wing Gundam has a nice array of weapons for all comabt situations. It's most destructive one is the beam cannon. The single barrel gun has enough energy to devistate entire cities with one shot. The Beam Sabre is used when in close combat. The shield can alos be used as a weapon at times. Pros/Cons: Wing Gundam is a very versitale suit with many abilities. Its array of weapons and tough armor are its assets. It can also tramsform into a plane so it has a speed advantage. Its only weakness is the lack of small guns. The beam cannon takes time to reload and fire. Deathscythe/Gundam 02 piloted by: Duo Maxwell Deathscythe is one of the most feared Gundams in outer Space. Probably 90 percent of the fear is because of the pilot inside. Duo wreaks all kinds of havoc with Deathscythe. It is the perfect Gundam for: The God of Death Weapons: Deathscythe's most obvious weapon is the deadly thermal energy scythe it weilds. With a single spin of this thermal blade, any mobile suit could meet certain doom. It also comes equipped with a thermal drill bit that can be launched into an enemy, exploding thereafter. Pros/Cons: Deathscythe is definatly deadly at close range. When hand to hand combat ensues, there's no better Gundam one could have. But when long range fighting is needed, then Duo is at a disadvantage. Even the launching drill bit is a pretty ineffective long range weapon. Heavy Arms/ Gundam 03 piloted by: Trowa Barton Heavy Arms is a very useful and deadly Gundam. Trowa makes use of it quite well in many battles, especialy those on land, as it is at a slight disadvantage it space battles. Minor limitations aside, Heavy Arms is an extremly powerful Gundam. Weapons: Heavy Arms has massive machine gun attachments on both arms; hence its name. Its chest can also open up to reveal lethal missle launchers able of launching multiple missles per second. There is a small switchblade under the right forearm but it's relatively ineffective. Pros/Cons: Gundam 03 has a distinct advantage in long distance land battles. Heavy Arms can take out multiple targets without having to venture close to the line of fire. However, its weakness lies in its lack of close combat ability. Its only combative weapon is a small switchblade on its right arm. Sandrock/Gundam 04 piloted by: Quatre Winner Sandrock is the Gundam of Quatre Winner. According to its name, Sandrock fights best on land, but due to its assorted weaponry, it can fight well anywhere. Weapons: Sandrock is gifted with two small scythe-like swords. These can do massive damage and can be weilded quickly and effectively. When they begin to glow a fiery red is when they are at their peak of effectiveness. Quatre can throw them long distances, so he isn't limited to close comabt. Sandrock also has a small M 16 machine gun and two shoulder guns. Pros/Cons: Sandrock has the ability to do well in almost any area. It has a good assortment of weapons as welll. But what holds it down is speed. Much like Heavy Arms, Sandrock is not quite as fast as other Gundams. Also, Quatre rarely uses the machine guns, so he engages in a lot of close combat. Shenlong/Gundam 05 piloted by: Wufei Chang Shenlong is by far one of the more deadly Gundams early on. Only surpassed by Deathscythe in causing mass destruction, Shenlong gets even better when upgraded to Altron. Wufei refers to both his Gundams as Nataku. Weapons: Shenlong is loaded down with great weapons. It weilds a massive lance that can shatter the toughest of mobile suits. The spear is a thermal energy weapon, and Wufei weilds it so fast that few enemies see it coming. Now, the weapon that gives Shenlong deapth is the Dragon Head. The head is attached to an extendable arm and can be launched a great distance. This gives Wufei extra reach when in battle. Also, the head can spray out fire and acts as a long distance flame thrower. Pros/Cons: Nataku is an excellent Gundam with many capabilities. Including its weapons, it also has blazing speed. Wufei is an intelligent pilot and uses Shenlong very effectivly. The only disadvantages I see are that Shenlong has no guns and becomes outdated when Altron is built. Tallgeese piloted by: Zechs Marquiese Tallgeese is the first suit piloted by Zechs Marquise. It is a primative suit. In fact, all mobile suits, including the Gundams, used the Tallgeese design somewhat. Weapons: Tallgeese packs a large beam cannon as its main gun. It's nothing compared to Wing Zero's, but it's a good gun. It also has a smaller gun and a beam sabre. There is a small shield used mainly for defense. Not a bad arsenal, eh? The beam sabre gets the most use because that's the way Zechs fights. Pros/Cons: Tallgeese is able to fight both long and short range battles. The armor is good as well, so Tallgeese can take a lot of punishment. And it can dish it out as well. But Tallgeese is not too technologically advanced. It fares well early in the war when fighting more primitive suits and early model Gundams. But later on Zechs more then masters it, and it cannot keep up with the new model mobile dolls or Gundams. It just cannot keep up. Zechs's super human abilities surpass the Tallgeese's range in mere months. Wing Zero/ Gundam 00 piloted by: Heero Yuy Wing Zero has been the host of many pilots throughout its life. Quatre got the first shot, followed by Duo and the rest of the Gundam pilots. Even Zechs gets to test it out. But eventualy, wing Zero ends up as Heero Yuy's suit. Weapons: Wing Zero's arsenal is second to none. It packs a more powerful beam cannon then Wing Gundam, althought they look similar. Zero's beam cannon is double barreled and could level a space colony with just a few shots. The cannon can be split into two single barreled cannons. This tactic is extremly useful when facing a large amount of enemies. Wing Zero also has the trusty beam sabre for close combat. Zero's biggest advantage, however, is the advanced Zero System. This is a cockpit system that takes large amounts of battle data and feeds them to the pilot. I aslo alters the pilot's brain waves, pushing him to his limited, and making him void of feeling. While this eliminates distraction, it also alters the pilots thinking and produces harmful side effects for those who have not mastered the system. Pros/Cons: Wing Zeros is arguably the most powerful Gundam. The only weaknesses are those that the pilot has. Deathscythe HELL/ Upgraded 02 piloted by: Duo Maxwell The new Deathscythe is much better then the old one. As before, this Gundma fits Duo's style well. It is big, bad, and in your face. Deathscythe is all about fear and intimidation. Weapons: The upgraded 02 sports all kinds of new weapons. The thermal energy scythe is now twin beamed. This makes for even more destructive power! The new metal wings add speed and a more fashionable look. This is a key factor, because now Duo is able to be much more efficient then beofre. The thermal drill bit is still here. There are two new vulcan cannons mounted on Deathsycthe's neck . 02 is also packing abuster sheild. This is primarily a defensive weapon, but can be used offensivly. Also, the aromor has been exstensivly upgraded. Pros/Cons: Much better then the original Deathscythe. The new weapons and features add depth to this Gundam. The added speed reallygives it a boost. And defensive upgrades help out to. But, even after all that, 02 is still only a close combative Gundam. Not that there's anything wrong with that. After all, it's the God of Death's style. Altron/ Upgraded 05 piloted by: Wufei Chang Altron is an upgraded version of Shenlong, and man I bet Wufei is glad to have " Nataku " upgraded! The new 05 is even deadlier then the old with many new features and added weapons. Weapons: Altron comes with welcome additions in all areas. Now 05 has a double sided thermal energy triton. With blades on both sides, Wufei is capable of even more destructive close quarter fighting, which he enjoys. Both arms are now fully extendible and both come with dragon heads. As before, each head is capable of breathing fire. There are some all new weapons as well. Altron now boasts a scorpion like tail that fires a potent laser blast. For defensive purposes, Altron posseses a nice shield on his left shoulder. Pros/Cons: Definatly an improvment. Those Gundam scientists are outdoing themselves. Altron is now capable of mass destruction on a much larger scale then before. Two extenible arms, two dragon heads, and two thermal blades make 05 a double threat. Wufei often uses Altron to take on large groups of enemies. A minor fault is that Altron is vunerable with both arms fully extended and embedded in enemies. Eypon piloted by: Zechs Merquise Epyon is the only Gundam to be created by Oz. It was intended for Heero by Treize, but Heero gave it to Zechs in a trade for Wing Zero. Like Zero, Epyon is another perfect Gundam. Weapons: Epyon is armed well to say the least. Its primary weapon is the huge, green glowing, beam sabre. This sabre also happens to be twice the size of Epyon when fully extended. Also, Epyon has a scorpion-esque heat rod whip. As Epyon blazes by, the whip leaves a trail of fiery carnage. Epyon's power coupled with its sheer speed make it very difficult to match in combat. Epyon also comes equipped with the Zero System. ( see Wing Zero ) Pros/Cons: Read: there are no cons! As with Wing Zero Epyon's only weaknesses are those of the pilot. Leo piloted by: UESA and OZ The Leo mobile suit is designed specificaly for battles on land. It is the most commonly used suit by the United Earthsphere Alliance. Weapons: The Leo suit has a standard automatic rifle, beam sabre and two missle turets placed on its shoulders. The Leo also has a small shield on its left arm. Pros/Cons: Leo is the weakest mobile suit by far in the series. Its weak waepons, armor and lack of mobility really hamper its comabt abilities. The UESA uses them in large groups, and even this tactic has limited success. Aries piloted by: UESA and OZ The Aries mobile suit was designed for air battles. It's the most ommon suit used by OZ early in the war. Weapons: The Aries has a standard chain rifle. It also has two missle turets. Not much, but Aries' mobility makes up for it against the Leo. Pros/Cons: Aries isn't much stronger then the Leo, but it has better mobility. This gives OZ an advantage early on in the war against the UESA. Later on in the war, Aries becomes outdated because of its lack or armaments. Taurus piloted by: OZ and White Fang The Taurus suits are specialy desgined for space missions, but can be reconfigured for battle on land. They can also be programed to be mobile dolls. Taurus definatly has versitility. Weapons: Taurus comes equipped witha small beam cannon rifle. It can also turn into a plane for extra speed. Pros/Cons: Taurus suits have many advantages to Leo and Aries. They have more speed, better weapons and can be programed as mobile dolls. This makes them better to manufacture, since no pilot will have to be found. But they still can't hold up against the Gundams. Taurus's armor is too light, and beam cannon too weak against them. Pisces piloted by: OZ Pisces was designed by OZ for sea warfare. It is very mobile underwater and has claws, cables and floats. Weapons: Pisces is equipped with underwater torpedos with guiding functions. It can be used as a mini sub, or can transform and use its claws, cables and floats to retrieve underwater remians. Pros/Cons: Pisces is not a bad suit underwater. Not that there are many choices. The armor is surprisingly good, yet the lack of weapons is bad when facing the Gundams. Cancer piloted by: OZ The Cancer mobile suit is remarkably similar to the Pisces. It was designed for underwater combat and compliments the Pisces well in battle. Weapons: Cancer's weapons are the same as Pisces. Underwater torpedos with guiding functions, claws, cables, and floats. Cancer can transform from sub to combat mode, just as Pisces can. Pros/Cons: Cancer is probably a more battle oriented suit then Pisces. The torpedos have good range, and most good OZ pilots, Alex being the most noteable, use the Cancer underwater. The armor protects it well, but still, Cancer has basicaly one weapon. Mercurius piloted by: Heero Yuy, OZ and White Fang Mercurius was designed by the infamous Gundam scientists while they were under the control of OZ. Weapons: Mercurius is well equipped for battle. Its most proficient weapon is the beam sabre it is packing. Larger then most, it can be deadly in the hands of a great pilot. A small gun also is present, but most use the sabre. Adorning its back is a magnetic shield. It can cover the whole suit in an instant, making beam attacks useless. Mercurius can be reprogrammed to be a mobile doll. It is a bettter doll, because it can store pilot's comabt data. Pros/Cons: Mercurius has good speed and defense, but has a one dimensional offense. The beam sabre is really its only effective weapon. This turns Mercurius into a close quarter fighter. Vayeate piloted by: Trowa Barton, OZ and White Fang Vayeate was designed to be the foil for the Mercurius, and the Gundam engineers succeeded. Vayeate is the opposite of its counterpart, and it shows in battle. Weapons: The Vayeate's most proficient weapon is the beam cannon it weilds. One powerful blast from this could destroy several mobile suits. It has a large shield on one arm, similar to the Leo shield, but much larger. It can also be programmed to be a doll and can store pilot data. Pros/Cons: Vayette is similar to Mercurius in this respect: one dimensional offense. Speed and defense are no problem, but the Vayette relies too much on long distance attacks. Virgo OZ and White Fang The Virgo unit was designed to be a mobile doll from the outset. Operation Nova saw OZ bringing mas produced Virgos to earth to stage a hostile takeover. Weapons: The Virgo packs a beam cannon similar to Vayeate's. It is capable of doing much damage to opposition. It also has the magnetic shield. OZ used a good tactic in Virgo mass production. A group of three Virgo dolls can stand back to back, and the three magnetic shields can combine into one ;arge nearly impenitrable shield. Virgo dolls can have strategic programs loaded onto them making them battle with human capabilites. Pros/Cons: The fact that Virgo was designed to be a doll kind of makes you refuse to like the suit, but it is an effective one none the less. Because of their mass production, they can be moved in large forces and are difficult to stop. However, they are slower then Vayeate's, and rely on their cannons too much. Maganac piloted by: Maganac Corps The Maganac suit is piloted by only the 40 elite Maganac soldiers of Arabia. It is used in desert battles to protect cities, Magnac bases, or just do damage to OZ. Weapons: The Maganac suit has but one weapon: the beam rifle. However, this weapon is effective because the Maganac travel in one large group , and the firepower can get overwhelming. Pors/Cons: There is something charming about the Maganac suit that I just like. I don't know what it is. Maybe it's because of the pilots. I'm kina fond of The Maganac Corps. Anyway, the suit is powerful, but slow. It really doesn't need to be fast when fighting in a group of 40 in a sandstorm though. Talgeese II piloted by: Treize Khushrenadah The Tallgeese II was built and piloted by Treize Khushrenadah. It seems he had a talent for these things. Although his first suit, the Epyon, is a far greater suit. Weapons: The Tallgeese II has one dober gun and two beam sabres. The gun is capable of much damage, but Treize is more into the chivilrus beam sabres. Those are the weapons he mainly used in TG II's first and ony battle against the Gundam Altron. Pros/Cons: There's something about the TG II that makes it seem weaker then the original. It does have a better color scheme though. There aren't really any visible weaknesses with the TG II, but like it's predecessor, it seems to lack certain abilites to fight the newer model Gundams. It is a fine suit though. |
