Mobile Suit Gundam 00

The beginning of the new Gundam series is getting closer and closer.... I can't wait for this October so that we can finally get some new Gundam anime. The one thing that many people want to see is the mobile suits in action. This series takes a different approach in terms of designs, they don't really look like Gundams at all except for the faces. Gundam Kyrios is the only unit that resembles todays Gundam designs and hopefully they are not over the top invincible pretty machines like in SEED and SEED Destiny.

The Exia looks like the notorious RX-78-2 from Gundam Evolve 15 and the Dynames looks like a carbon copy of the Buster. The Kyrios actually has the skirt armor so it looks more like the Gundams we are used to know. The Virtue is a whole new puppy, it is huge and it looks like a heavy artillery unit and it reminds me of the RX-78 GP-02-A. What I really hope is that they go back to the UC and Wing formula, which was that not everybody had a Gundam and all the soldier grunts actually crapped their pants at the sight of a Gundam. Here is a closer look at the Mobile Suit Gundam 00 units and info on their pilots.

Head height: 18.3m
Base weight: 57.2 tons
Because of the GN particles eminating from the GN Drive within the unit, it has astounding mobility and near infinite energy. Compared to currently-in-use MS, it introduces a great deal of high technology. A close-combat, high-mobility MS equipped with 7 blades. The GN particles eminated into the air cause radio wave interference and disrupt ordinary radar and communications.

Fated boy soldier born & raised in the war-torn Middle East's Kurdis Republic. A cool kid who hates getting close to others and keeps his feelings inside.

Same as the other Gundams, equipped with a GN Drive. It's emphasis is gun warfare. Has many guns suitable for missions and a GN Sniper Rifle as standard equipment. When it carries out precision shooting, the head transforms into Sniper Mode with a concealed camera eye appearing. During that time, a rifle-style controller is used.

Decided to join Celestial Being after losing his parents because of terrorism. The eldest pilot and team leader.

Variable unit that can transform into a flight form. In its flight form, it has a rear arms container and can deal with every mission with versatility. While it excels at hit-and-run attacks in its flight form, even in its MS form it has offensive capabilities to match other Gundams.

Spent his childhood as an orphan in the People's Reform League. Usually gentle and quiet.

Heavily armed type and has powerful weapons such as the GN Bazooka and GN Cannon. It expands the GN Field, covering itself with a barrier and has considerably high defense.

Tieria Erde

A boy with a rare kind of beauty, his history, nationality, and origins all a mystery. Within his gentle tone, he can give a sense of cold intentions.
