Big List of (Mostly) Infantry-Only Mechs.

[Etna Foley]

Different from Mobile suits, 'Mechs are cheaper, more quickly produced vehicles that are mostly non-space capable, instead being designed for surface fighting where their cheaper building costs and larger numbers coupled with weapons not always seen on Mobile Suits means that they are often seen in conflicts based primarily upon a planet, orbital satellite, or space colony. At times, these 'Mechs have been shown to take on Mobile Suits in conflicts successfully due to their versatility and wide range of weapon systems which many Mobile Suit exclusive pilots have not been trained to counteract.

Light Class

Generally, the light class of BattleMechs are used for recon/scouting, ambush and giving target locations to heavier 'Mechs and artillery. However, there are some light 'Mechs capable of fire support, frontal attack and command roles.

Dasher/Fire Moth

* Tonnage: 20
* Top Speed: 148

This is an extremely fast ‘Mech. In addition to its extraordinarily high speed, it has enough firepower to match infantry and some vehicle opposition, making it ideal for both recon and hit-and-run roles.

Flea

* Source: ZAFT
* Designation: FLE-4
* Tonnage: 20
* Max Speed: 97.2 km/h
* Standard Loadout:
o 1 Flamer
o 2 Small Lasers
o 1 Large Laser

The Flea is a standard scout ‘Mech - fast, agile, and lightly armed.

Hornet

* Source: Earth
* Designation: HNT-151
* Tonnage: 20
* Max Speed: 86.4 km/h
* Max Jump: 150m
* Standard Loadout
o 1 LRM-5 (120 Rounds)
o 1 Medium Laser
o 1 Small Laser

The Hornet is a light ‘Mech designed for scouting in urban environments. As such it mounts jump jets and fairly heavy armor for a light ‘Mech at the expense of firepower and some speed.

Locust

* Source: Earth/ZAFT
* Designation: LCT-1V
* Tonnage: 20
* Max Speed: 129.6 km/h
* Standard Loadout
o 1 Medium Laser
o 2 Machine Guns

The Locust is one of the most popular scout 'Mechs in the ZAFT and Earth, as well as one of the most numerous 'Mechs ever produced. It is cheap, lightly armored and even more lightly armed, but blazingly fast and maneuverable. Many Locust variations exist, some adding more lasers and others adding SRM or LRM racks. Almost all variants run into problems with heat buildup, as the Locust does not carry extra heat sinks.

Mercury

* Source: ZAFT
* Designation: MCY-98
* Tonnage: 20
* Max Speed: 129.6 km/h
* Standard Loadout
o 2 Medium Laser
o 2 Small Laser

The Mercury is designed as a fast raider, rather than a scout like most light 'Mechs. It is fast and carries a heavy weapons loadout, but sometimes runs into problems with heat generation.

Stinger

* Source: Earth/ZAFT
* Designation: STG-3R
* Tonnage: 20
* Max Speed: 97.2 km/h
* Max Jump: 180m
* Standard Loadout
o 1 Medium Laser
o 2 Machine Guns

One of the three most popular scout 'Mechs—along with the Locust and Wasp—the Stinger's (relatively) heavy armor and jump capability make it arguably the most survivable. It is popular both as a scout and a training ‘Mech.

Thorn

* Source: ZAFT
* Designation: THE-S
* Tonnage: 20
* Max Speed: 97.2 km/h
* Standard Loadout
o 1 LRM-5 (120 Rounds)
o 2 Medium Laser

The Thorn is fielded not as a scout but as a rapid-reaction fire support ‘Mech. Its heavy weapon loadout can be deadly to other light 'Mechs - most do not even carry a weapon that can respond to an LRM rack at range.

Wasp

* Source: Earth/ZAFT
* Designation: WSP-1A
* Tonnage: 20
* Max Speed: 97.2 km/h
* Max Jump: 180m
* Standard Loadout
o 1 Medium Laser
o 1 SRM-2 (90 Rounds)

One of the most popular recon 'Mechs, the Wasp carries only average armor, but its SRM rack gives it a powerful punch against other light 'Mechs in close-quarters combat.

Commando

* Source: Earth
* Designation: COM-2D
* Tonnage: 25
* Max Speed: 97.2 km/h
* Standard Loadout
o 1 SRM-6 (90 Rounds)
o 1 SRM-4 (90 Rounds)
o 1 Medium Laser

The Commando was designed as an alternative to the 20-ton scout 'Mechs used by ZAFT. While it lacks both jump jets and high speed, the 'Mechs large array of short range missile tubes make it a powerful threat to other light 'Mechs.

Mongoose

* Source: ZAFT
* Designation: MON-67
* Tonnage: 25
* Max Speed: 129.6 km/h
* Standard Loadout
o 3 Medium Lasers
o 1 Small Laser

Originally designed as a replacement for the Locust, the Mongoose came into its own as a command vehicle for light lances and companies. It is well armored for a light ‘Mech.

Falcon

* Source: Earth
* Designation: HNT-151
* Tonnage: 30
* Max Speed: 97.2 km/h
* Standard Loadout
o 1 Medium Laser
o 2 Small Lasers
o 2 Machine Guns

The Falcon is a 'lost' design - the facility where it was built was destroyed in the war. As a result there are only a small number left operational. The Falcon is usually deployed to destroy enemy recon lances.

Firefly

* Source: ZAFT
* Designation: FFL-4A
* Tonnage: 30
* Max Speed: 86.4 km/h
* Max Jump: 120m
* Standard Loadout
o 1 LRM-5 (120 Rounds)
o 3 Medium Lasers
o 4 Small Lasers

The Firefly is an exceptionally well armed light scout ‘Mech fielded only by ZAFT.

Hermes

* Source: ZAFT
* Designation: HER-1A
* Tonnage: 30
* Max Speed: 151.2 km/h
* Standard Loadout
o 2 Medium Lasers
o 1 Flamer

The Hermes is an extremely fast scout ‘Mech that skimps on firepower and armor for speed. As a result it is somewhat unpopular with pilots.

Hussar

* Source: Earth
* Designation: HSR-300-D
* Tonnage: 30
* Max Speed: 151.2 km/h
* Max Jump: 150m
* Standard Loadout
o 1 Large Laser

On paper the Hussar is terrible - it is the least well armored ‘Mech on the battlefield and it mounts only one weapon system. In practice its long range, high speed, and low profile allow it much success against other light 'Mechs.

Javelin

* Source: Earth
* Designation: JVN-10N
* Tonnage: 30
* Max Speed: 97.2 km/h
* Max Jump: 180m
* Standard Loadout
o 2 SRM-6 (180 Rounds)

The Javelin is a reliable scout ‘Mech. Because of its devastating short-range weaponry it has also become popular in ambushes.

Osiris

* Tonnage: 30
* Top Speed: 152

Unmatched in maneuverability, it carries a balance of weapons making it a great ‘Mech for quick scouting missions.

Spider

* Source: ZAFT
* Designation: SDR-5V
* Tonnage: 30
* Max Speed: 129.6 km/h
* Max Jump: 240m
* Standard Loadout
o 2 Medium Lasers

Designed for commandos, the Spider is fast, maneuverable, and has an unsurpassed jump range.

Stinger LASM

* Source: ZAFT
* Designation: STG-A5
* Tonnage: 30
* Max Speed: 97.2 km/h
* Max Jump: 180m
* Standard Loadout
o 3 Medium Lasers

A unique approach to warfare, the Stinger Land Air Mech is capable of transforming into a fully capable space fighter. Although the equipment required for this limits both armor and armament, the tactical flexibility this ability offers is easily worth the tradeoff.

Uller/Kit Fox

* Tonnage: 30
* Top Speed: 97.2 km/h

This Earth-’Mech carries a significant amount of firepower for its size. It is the favored light 'Mech of many Earth divisions; other divisions prefer speedier designs for recon work.

Urbanmech

* Source: ZAFT
* Designation: UM-R60
* Tonnage: 30
* Max Speed: 32.4 km/h
* Max Jump: 60m
* Standard Loadout
o 1 AC/10
o 1 Small Laser

The Urbanmech is designed exclusively for urban combat. It fills this role admirably, but in any other venue its slow speed and limited armament makes it severely ineffective.

Valkyrie

* Source: Earth
* Designation: VLK-QA
* Tonnage: 30
* Max Speed: 86.4 km/h
* Max Jump: 150m
* Standard Loadout
o 1 LRM-10 (120 Rounds)
o 1 Medium Laser

A ‘Mech exclusive to Earth, the Valkyrie is well armored and packs a surprising long-range punch.

Wasp LASM

* Source: ZAFT
* Designation: WSP-105
* Tonnage: 30
* Max Speed: 97.2 km/h
* Max Jump: 180m
* Standard Loadout
o 1 SRM-2 (90 Rounds)
o 1 Medium Laser

The Wasp, like the Stinger, is capable of transforming into an Space fighter. This limits both its weaponry and armaments, but makes it especially suitable to reconnaissance and deep assaults.

Cougar

* Tonnage: 35
* Top Speed: 97.2 km/h

Although this light ‘Mech is not always as fast as some of the others in this class, it has sufficient firepower to make up for what it lacks in speed and electronics. It was created from a modified version of the Puma.

Firestarter

* Source: Earth
* Designation: FS9-H
* Tonnage: 35
* Max Speed: 97.2 km/h
* Max Jump: 180m
* Standard Loadout
o 4 Flamers
o 2 Medium Lasers
o 2 Machine Guns

Designed more as an incendiary platform than as a warfighter, the Firestarter is ideal for flushing troops and BattleMechs from forests and urban areas.

Hollander

* Source: Earth
* Designation: BZK-F3
* Tonnage: 35
* Max Speed: 86.4 km/h
* Standard Loadout
o 1 Gauss Rifle

The Hollander is the smallest mech to mount a Gauss Rifle. This monstrous weapon is able to destroy light mechs with a single hit and seriously threaten medium and heavy mechs. However, as the gun constitutes almost half the weight of the mech, its speed is average at best, its armor is thin, and the mech lacks secondary armaments. While suitable for fighting ZAFT opponents, it is woefully unprepared for fighting Earth opponents.

Jenner

* Source: ZAFT
* Designation: JR7-D
* Tonnage: 35
* Max Speed: 118.8 km/h
* Max Jump: 150m
* Standard Loadout
o 1 SRM-4 (90 Rounds)
o 4 Medium Lasers

The Jenner, oddly for a light ‘Mech, is designed for interdiction and raiding instead of recon. It is very well armed and fairly fast.

Ostscout

* Source: ZAFT
* Designation: OTT-7J
* Tonnage: 35
* Max Speed: 129.6 km/h
* Max Jump: 240m
* Standard Loadout
o 1 Medium Laser

The Ostscout is the best scout ‘Mech ZAFT has - at the expense of everything else. It is fast, has unsurpassed jump capability, and boasts the most advanced sensor array to date. This comes at a cost of minimal armor and the worst weapons loadout of any ‘Mech.

Owens

* Tonnage: 35
* Top Speed: 126

The Owens is a ‘Mech with good long range support, speed, and electronics, which makes it a good for scout missions where the pilot does not want to get too close. It is one of the first ZAFT OmniMech designs.

Panther

* Source: Earth
* Designation: PNT-9R
* Tonnage: 35
* Max Speed: 64.8 km/h
* Max Jump: 120m
* Standard Loadout
o 1 PPC
o 1 SRM-4 (90 Rounds)

Commonly associated with Earth, the Panther was originally designed as a fire support ‘Mech for light lances. The Panther is also at home in urban combat: its powerful main weapon and jump jets allow it to outmaneuver and strike at larger opponents to great effect.

Puma/Adder

* Tonnage: 35
* Top Speed: 97.2 km/h

The Puma came as a surprise for the ZAFT forces as its primary configuration uses two ER-PPCs and a targeting computer. This enables the mech to use the hard hitting PPCs efficiently at very long ranges. In the hands of a skilled pilot the mech can even topple assault 'Mechs.

Raven

* Tonnage: 35
* Top Speed: 97.2 km/h

While not the fastest ‘Mech in its class, it carries some of the most sophisticated sensor technology available to ZAFT making it an invaluable scout.

Wolfhound

* Source: ZAFT
* Designation: WLF-1
* Tonnage: 35
* Max Speed: 97.2 km/h
* Standard Loadout
o 1 Large Laser
o 4 Medium Lasers

The Wolfhound was to be ZAFT's response to the Panther. The Wolfhound is well armored for a light ‘Mech, but suffers serious overheating problems during extended combat.

Medium Class

Medium 'Mechs tend to be generalists rather than specialists, but they are the most common of all weight classes and the backbone of all armies. Most medium 'Mechs mount one powerful main weapon and a diverse array of secondary backup weapons.

Assassin

* Source: ZAFT
* Designation: ASN-21
* Tonnage: 40
* Max Speed: 118.8 km/h
* Standard Loadout
o 1 LRM-5 (120 Rounds)
o 1 SRM-2 (90 Rounds)
o 1 Medium Laser

Fairly speedy and with very good jump capability, the Assassin carries weapons able to cover all ranges, making it a solid if non-distinctive light ‘Mech.

Cicada

* Source: ZAFT
* Designation: CDA-2A
* Tonnage: 40
* Max Speed: 129.6 km/h
* Standard Loadout
o 1 Small Laser
o 2 Medium Lasers

Designed mostly as an up-gunned Locust, the Cicada maintains the smaller 'Mech’s speed while carrying twice the firepower and more armor.

Chimera

* Tonnage: 40
* Top Speed: 112

The Chimera is designed specifically to balance every component it can hold without favoring any one and handles its tasks in a similarly generic fashion.

Clint

* Source: Earth
* Designation: CLNT-2-3T
* Tonnage: 40
* Max Speed: 97.2 km/h
* Max Jump: 180m
* Standard Loadout
o 1 AC/5 (20 Rounds)
o 2 Medium Lasers

Designed as a scout and light combat ‘Mech, the Clint fails at the former but succeeds at the latter. The Clint's only real failing is its ammunition supply.

Hellspawn

* Source: ZAFT
* Designation: HSN-7D
* Tonnage: 45
* Max Speed: 97.2 km/h
* Max Jump: 180 m
* Standard Loadout
o 1 Medium Pulse Lasers
o 2 LRM-10

A scout ‘Mech built with good missile capabilities and decent beam and ballistic support, making it a well rounded ‘Mech.

Hermes II

* Source: ZAFT
* Designation: HER-2S
* Tonnage: 40
* Max Speed: 97.2 km/h
* Standard Loadout
o 1 AC/5 (20 Rounds)
o 1 Medium Laser
o 1 Flamer

The Hermes II was designed as a heavy scout.

Sentinel

* Source: Earth
* Designation: STN-3K
* Tonnage: 40
* Max Speed: 97.2 km/h
* Standard Loadout
o 1 AC/5 (40 Rounds)
o 1 SRM-2 (90 Rounds)
o 1 Small Laser

The Sentinel is a lighter ‘Mech designed for infantry support and garrison duties. It tends to be ammunition dependent, but carries a good amount for each weapon system.

Strider

* Tonnage: 40
* Top Speed: 97.2 km/h

A fast medium ‘Mech with its origins in ZAFT, this ‘Mech excels in guerrilla tactics. It is notable for being one of the few OmniMechs of ZAFT origin.

Vulcan

* Source: ZAFT
* Designation: VL-2T
* Tonnage: 40
* Max Speed: 97.2 km/h
* Max Jump: 180m
* Standard Loadout
o 1 AC/2 (45 Rounds)
o 1 Medium Laser
o 1 Flamer
o 1 Machine Gun (200 Rounds)

The Vulcan was designed to combat infantry in urban environments. It fulfills this role well, but lacks the firepower needed to engage other 'Mechs effectively.

Whitworth

* Source: Earth
* Designation: STN-3K
* Tonnage: 40
* Max Speed: 64.8 km/h
* Standard Loadout
o 2 LRM-10 (240 Rounds)
o 3 Medium Lasers

The Whitworth was originally designed as a heavy scout ‘Mech, but its slow speed makes it a poor choice, fortunately its long range punch and good armor make it a good long-range support ‘Mech.

Blackjack

* Source: ZAFT
* Designation: BJ-1
* Tonnage: 45
* Max Speed: 64.8 km/h
* Max Jump: 120m
* Standard Loadout
o 2 AC/2 (45 Rounds)
o 4 Medium Lasers

Designed as a fire-support unit, the Blackjack is unusual in that it uses Autocannons instead of LRM racks to strike at a distance. Also unusual is the fact that, unlike most support 'Mechs, it becomes more deadly at close range where its lasers come to bear.

Hatchetman

* Source: Earth
* Designation: HCT-3F
* Tonnage: 45
* Max Speed: 64.8 km/h
* Max Jump: 120m
* Standard Loadout
o 1 AC/10 (20 Rounds)
o 2 Medium Lasers
o Hachet (Close combat weapon)

The Hatchetman is one of only a handful of BattleMechs that carry a very large melee weapon. Usually disregarded as a waste of space, in an urban environment it can be brought to bear, along with the Hatchetman's powerful autocannon, with brutal efficiency.

Phoenix Hawk

* Source: Earth
* Designation: PXH-1
* Tonnage: 45
* Max Speed: 97.2 km/h
* Max Jump: 180m
* Standard Loadout
o 1 Large Laser
o 2 Medium Lasers
o 2 Machine Guns (200 Rounds)

Based on a strengthened Stinger chassis, the Phoenix Hawk is one of the heaviest 'Mechs designed for reconnaissance.

Vindicator

* Source: Earth
* Designation: VND-1R
* Tonnage: 45
* Max Speed: 64.8 km/h
* Max Jump: 120m
* Standard Loadout
o 1 LRM-5 (120 Rounds)
o 1 PPC
o 1 Medium Laser
o 1 Small Laser

A generalist, the Vindicator is capable of filling almost any role on the battlefield, but never as effectively as a dedicated ‘Mech or vehicle.

Wyvern

* Source: ZAFT
* Designation: WVE-6N
* Tonnage: 45
* Max Speed: 64.8 km/h
* Max Jump: 120m
* Standard Loadout
o 1 LRM-10 (120 Rounds)
o 1 Large Laser
o 1 SRM-6 (90 Rounds)
o 2 Small Lasers

A dedicated city-fighter that excels at its role. The Wyvern's low speed hampers it in any other terrain, however.

Centurion

* Source: ZAFT
* Designation: CN9-A
* Tonnage: 50
* Max Speed: 64.8 km/h
* Standard Loadout
o 1 LRM-10 (240 Rounds)
o 1 AC/10 (20 Rounds)
o 2 Medium Lasers

A workhorse ‘Mech Developed by ZAFT, the Centurion is a standard by which other medium 'Mechs are measured. Justin Allard and later his son Kai piloted a customized version dubbed Yen-Lo-Wang after the Chinese god of the seven hells.

Shadow Cat

* Tonnage: 45
* Top Speed: 97.2 km/h

A very versatile ‘Mech which supports a decent amount of armor, jump jets, good speed, and good range of weapons. The shadow cat was originally conceived as a scout mech complete with an active probe. In its primary configuration the 'Mech carries a Gauss rifle and two medium ER lasers as a backup so its packing considerable firepower for its size. Many commanders have conceded that the 'Mech undermines its recon capabilities by destroying the targets it recons. Indeed the Shadow Cat is fully capable of taking down an opponent twice its size.

Hellhound

* Tonnage: 50
* Top Speed: 97.2 km/h


A very well-rounded BattleMech mounting jump jets, designed as a light 'Mech hunter/killer. Along with being fast and heavily armoured, the Hellhound packs quite a punch even with its default armaments.

Crab

* Source: ZAFT
* Designation: CRB-20
* Tonnage: 50
* Max Speed: 86.4 km/h
* Standard Loadout
o 2 Large Lasers
o 1 Medium Laser
o 1 Small Laser

Designed as a raider, the Crab's reliance on energy weapons means it can spend long periods of time in combat without need of resupply, although heat management is an issue. It was developed by the ZAFT and through its use it has gained the reputation as the premiere beam support ‘Mech in its class.

Enforcer

* Source: Earth
* Designation: ENF-4R
* Tonnage: 50
* Max Speed: 64.8 km/h
* Max Jump: 120m
* Standard Loadout
o 1 AC/10 (10 Rounds)
o 1 Large Laser
o 1 Small Laser

The Enforcer is a dedicated combat machine that can deal good damage at medium range.

Hunchback

* Source: Earth
* Designation: HBK-4G
* Tonnage: 50
* Max Speed: 64.8 km/h
* Standard Loadout
o 1 AC/20 (10 Rounds)
o 2 Medium Lasers
o 1 Small Laser

Built around a heavy autocannon, the Hunchback's extreme short-range firepower make it a deadly opponent even for larger 'Mechs if it can get close.

Trebuchet

* Source: Earth
* Designation: TBT-5N
* Tonnage: 50
* Max Speed: 86.4 km/h
* Standard Loadout
o 2 LRM-15 (240 Rounds)
o 3 Medium Lasers

A flexible ‘Mech, the Trebuchet is dangerous at all ranges as long as it is kept supplied with missiles.

Uziel

* Tonnage: 50
* Top Speed: 97.2 km/h

Designed for combat versatility, it has excellent firepower, decent speed, and rarely suffers from heat build-up.

Dervish

* Source: Earth
* Designation: TBT-5N
* Tonnage: 55
* Max Speed: 86.4 km/h
* Max Jump: 150m
* Standard Loadout
o 2 LRM-10 (240 Rounds)
o 2 SRM-2 (100 Rounds)
o 2 Medium Lasers

A workhorse fire support ‘Mech, the Dervish has enough weapons to be dangerous at close range and enough armor to survive all but the heaviest weapons.

Black Hawk/Nova

* Tonnage: 50/55 W/ jump jets
* Top Speed: 86.4 km/h

This ‘Mech carries plenty of firepower in its arms and is equipped with jump jets, however it is slower than average for a medium ‘Mech. It is considered a jack-of-all-trades but a master of none.

Bushwhacker

* Tonnage: 55
* Top Speed: 86.4 km/h

A low-profile medium ‘Mech that favours long-range weapons. Known for its odd appearance and effective ranged load-out.

Heavy Class

The heaviest weight class in normal use, heavy 'Mechs excel at both fire support and frontal attack.

Argus

* Tonnage: 60
* Top Speed: 93

A formidable ‘Mech built for the front line. It has a great support for ballistic weapons and an LRM rack with additional support for beam weapons making it a ‘Mech to be feared. It is notable for being one of the first ZAFT machines to field a rotary autocannon.

Vulture/Mad Dog

* Tonnage: 60
* Top Speed: 84 km/h

An dedicated fire support ‘Mech with good speed, the primary configuration uses two LRM 20s mounted on the shoulders of the 'Mech, and a medium pulse and large pulse laser in each arm.

Cauldron-Born/Ebon Jaguar

* Tonnage: 65
* Top Speed: 84 km/h


An OmniMech created as a successor to older OmniMechs such as Timber Wolf/Mad Cat & Mad Dog/Vulture designs. Carrying powerful arrays weapons making its predecessors look pale in comparison. Machine's weapon heat problem is its only liability.

Loki/Hellbringer

* Tonnage: 65
* Top Speed: 84 km/h

Designed as a heavy-weight electronics suite and close combat platform, the Loki's configurations have been considered "mad" hence its name. Equiped in its Prime config with AMS, ECM, A-Pods, targetting computer and active probe, it has all of the tools you need for a campaign but with none of the armor protection you need for a stand-up fight.

Catapult

* Tonnage: 65
* Top Speed: 64 km/h

It is a fire-support ‘Mech. The original armaments included pair of LRM15s and 4 medium lasers. It carries jump jets for added mobility, and later models carry artillery missiles & C3 Slave computers to make the Catapult a very efficient fire-support ‘Mech.

Warhammer

* Tonnage: 70
* Top Speed: 64


A signature and storied BattleMech. A humanoid-shaped machine with long barrels in place of arms. This machine is normally armed with two particle projection cannons.

Thor/Summoner

* Tonnage: 70
* Top Speed: 84 km/h

The Thor heavy OmniMech comes with an ER PPC, LRM15, and a LB10-X Autocannon. It is an easily recognizable ‘Mech with a great emphasis on mobility.

When the ‘Mech first arrived in the ZAFT, it was named by Victor Steiner-Davion during his last stand for the Norse god of thunder due to its use of a PPC (man-made lightning) and an autocannon (thunder). The Earth Forces have designated it the Summoner. It was also was the preferred ‘Mech of Earth hero Aidan Pryde in his earlier career.

Thanatos

* Tonnage: 75
* Top Speed: 84 km/h


The original Thanatos came with extended-range large laser, two extended-range medium lasers, one medium pulse laser, and a 20-tube medium Range Missile launcher. Its high speed for a heavy ‘Mech, jump jet ability, electronic countermeasures, and extremely good agility (coupled with a very effective torso twist) make the Thanatos a very efficient in-close brawler.

The Thanatos was originally intended as an OmniMech, but for cost-saving reasons, this plan was scrapped.

Avatar

* Tonnage: 70
* Top Speed: 64 km/h

Based loosely off of the design of the familiar Vulture, which the ZAFT managed to get a hold of, it is overall a heavier, more diverse ‘Mech than its inspiration. Like the Earth machine that inspired it, it is an OmniMech and thus highly customizable based on varying mission profiles.

Mad Cat/Timber Wolf

* Tonnage: 75
* Top Speed: 84 km/h

The very model of versatility, this second generation OmniMech has a balance of missile, ballistic, and beam weapons with good speed and armour, which makes it a favourite amongst Earth and ZAFT pilots alike. It is considered to be one of the most iconic battlemechs.

Black Knight

* Tonnage: 75
* Top Speed: 64 km/h

Built by ZAFT, it was considered perfect for extended missions thanks to its highly energy-efficient design.

Nova Cat

* Tonnage: 70
* Top Speed: 64 km/h

The Nova Cat is an OmniMech known for its high speed and its beam-only design. In its primary configuration it wields two extended-range PPCs and three extended-range large lasers. Its only real drawback is its low heat sink efficiency even with double-strength heat sinks.

Marauder MAD-3R

* Tonnage 75
* Top Speed 64.8kph
* Armour 11.5 tons
* Weapons 2 x PPC, 2 x Medium Lasers, 1 x AC5

The MAD-3R is one of the Classic 'Mechs. Combining Good armour and medium to long range armaments, spawned a number of variants that eventually lead to the Wolf's Dragoons development of the 100ton Marauder II

Assault Class

A rare sight on the battlefield, the Assault class is a sight to be feared and a force to be reckoned with. What they lack in speed they make up for in strong armour and weaponry.

Awesome

* Tonnage: 80
* Top Speed: 54 km/h

This ‘Mech bears a tremendous amount of energy firepower, but is slow and prone to overheating. The Awesome’s default weaponry is three PPCs and a small laser. Later models added extra weaponry to balance its options and reduce heat build-up.

Pillager

* Tonnage: 100
* Top Speed: 54 km/h

Developed by ZAFT, this streamlined, mammoth assault ‘Mech is machine to be feared. Originally designed with twin Gauss rifles, a large laser, and four medium lasers, this machine carries the maximum amount of armor possible. The Pillager is a 100 ton machine, yet it mounts jump jets for increased mobility, an unwelcome surprise for its opponents.

Stalker

* Tonnage: 85
* Top Speed: 54 km/h

The Stalker is designed as a slow moving weapons platform capable of fighting effectively at any combat distance thanks to overlapping weapon ranges. It is armed with a combination of lasers and missile launchers and heavily armoured.

Templar

* Tonnage: 85
* Top Speed: 64 km/h

A versatile ‘Mech designed for the forces supporting Earth by Kallon Industries.

Warhawk/Masakari

* Tonnage: 85
* Top Speed: 64.8

This ‘Mech was designed around four ER PPCs with an LRM rack thrown in for good measure. It is a terror on the battlefield.


Mad Cat Mk II

* Tonnage: 90
* Top Speed: 64 km/h

This mech closely resembles the Timber Wolf but in reality it is a completely new design. The machine’s twin LRM launchers, twin Gauss rifles, and secondary weaponry are a powerful combination. Despite the lack of speed, it is a favourite for command roles. The Mad Cat Mark II has never been liked amongst most pilots.


Annihilator

* Tonnage: 100
* Top Speed: 32 km/h


This massive ‘Mech was re-introduced by the Wolf's Dragoons and carries a significant load of ballistic weapons. It can deliver devastating attacks that can quickly render an enemy crippled. However, the design's glaring flaw is its slow speed.

Daishi/Dire Wolf

* Tonnage: 100
* Top Speed: 58 km/h


The ultimate word in OmniMech technology, The primary weapons layout for the Daishi carries four ER large lasers, supplemented by two Ultra A/C 5s, four ER medium pulse lasers, and an LRM-10.

It is the preferred ‘Mech of many notable MechWarriors including Victor Ian Steiner-Davion, Morgan Hasek-Davion, Natasha Kerensky, and Hohiro Kurita.

Fafnir

* Tonnage: 100
* Top Speed: 73


The original Fafnir is armed with twin heavy Gauss rifles and 3 ER medium lasers or twin heavy Gauss rifles, a pair of large lasers and medium lasers. It was created to be a successful ‘Mech similar to the failed Defiance model. The result was the threatening Fafnir. Though quite slow, it has thick armor to compensate for its lack of speed.

Atlas

* Tonnage: 100
* Top Speed: 54 km/h

The infamous skull-headed ‘Mech, it bears more armor than most other 'Mechs and is known for its vast array of weapons and firepower. It is worth noting the Atlas was the first ‘Mech to field a Class 20 autocannon.

Battlemaster

* Tonnage: 85
* Top Speed: 64 km/h

The Battlemaster is a ‘Mech that is rightly favoured by Commanders for its heavy armament and strong armour, however it is often set-back by slow speeds.

Longbow

* Tonnage: 85
* Top Speed: 64 km/h

An old design, the Longbow is primarily a fire-support Mech. The original version, the LGB-0W, had twin LRM-20 launchers, two LRM-15s, and a small laser. This design was to be answer to The Archer. This is not a popular ‘Mech with pilots due to its thin armor (for an assault ‘Mech), so over its life time it has been given numerous revisions, each one making it faster, better armored, and more devastating. With each revision, the machine’s appearance has been completely altered, making it impossible for opposing pilots to tell what machine they’re facing until it’s too late.

Hauptmann

* Tonnage 95
* Top Speed: 64 km/h

The one of the first OmniMechs, the Hauptmann carries a very strong and very diverse array of weaponry.

Victor

* Tonnage: 80
* Top Speed: 64 km/h

The Victor is a venerable assault ‘Mech easily recognized by its distinctive head shape and the use of heavy ballistic weapons in all variations (in some cases a Class 20 autocannon and in others a Gauss rifle)and short range missile rack in its torso and its jump jet engines for extra mobility.

Gladiator/Executioner

* Tonnage: 95
* Top Speed: 81.07

The Gladiator OmniMech is a favorite for its high-power weapons and jump jets. Although its default armament might not seem impressive, and takes away a lot of weight, its ability to quickly and easily mount a Gauss rifle while still retaining jump jets and lots of Beam weaponry places it as one of the elite.

Sunder

* Tonnage: 90
* Top Speed: 64 km/h

One of the first OmniMechs, the Sunder is primarily a fire support and command ‘Mech. It still retains adequate heat dissipation and armour, although its slow speed is a significant hindrance.
Cyclops

* Tonnage: 90
* Top Speed: 64 km/h

A classic assault design favored by commanders for its communications suite, weapons mix, and good overland mobility, the 90-ton Cyclops was a mainstay of regimental command units but a rare sight on the battle lines. Known for its high quality regimental command computer interface, the Cyclops belies its name, giving commanders unmatched control over the deployment of their forces.

Kodiak

* Tonnage: 100
* Top Speed: 64 km/h

Fast and maneuverable with jump jets, the Kodiak is a force to be reckoned with. It is mostly a close-combat ‘Mech because of its A/C20 medium lasers and SRMs.

Earth Alliance

Earth Alliance mobile suits have the designation "GAT" (Gressorial Armament Tactical). Experimental units in the series include the modifier of "X" before the unit designation number (example: GAT-X105 Strike). The word "Gressorial" means "adapted for walking". Mobile armors have the designation "TS-MA" (Theater Suppression - Mobile Armor). The meaning of the designation "RGX" is not yet known, but it is used exclusively by Blue Cosmos/Logos-affiliated units to refer to mobile suits that were stolen from ZAFT. These units are:

* ZGMF-X12A Testament' (RGX-00)
* ZGMF-X24S Chaos (RGX-01)
* ZGMF-X31S Abyss (RGX-02)
* ZGMF-X88S Gaia (RGX-03)
* ZGMF-YX21R Proto-Saviour (RGX-04)

Earth Alliance's standard mobile suit operating system is designated "General Unilateral Neuro-Link Dispersive Autonomic Maneuver" (or "GUNDAM"). The GFAS-X1 Destroy uses an OS designated "Gigantic Unilateral Numerous Dominating Ammunition" Fortress.

The GAT-X131 Calamity, GAT-X252 Forbidden, and GAT-X370 Raider, along with their variants are equipped with a type of Phase Shift Armor called Trans-Phase Armor (TP). TP armor varies from PS armor in that it activates only at the point and time of impact, because of this it uses less energy than PS armor, that energy can be used for heavy energy weapons.

The Alliance's "Gundam" type mobile suits' model numbers have meaning to their designed purpose and are as follows:

* X100s - General Purpose. As the name suggests, these are intended for any purpose, from close combat to long range. The multi role X105 Strike is the only exception. Examples: GAT-X102 Duel, GAT-X105 Strike.

* X200s - Specific Purpose, Frame, or Special Equipment. These are intended for a specific purpose, and usually equipped with some form of special technology. Examples: GAT-X207 Blitz, GAT-X252 Forbidden.

* X300s - Transformable. These are designed to transformed from its MS mode to a Mobile Armor (MA) mode of any kind. Examples: GAT-X303 Aegis, GAT-X370 Raider.

[edit] Prototypes

* GAT-X102 Duel [GS] - General-purpose mobile suit, the first of the GAT-X series. Stolen by ZAFT. Gets upgraded with body armor, called the "Assault Shroud", after being cut down in its third battle with the Strike. The Assault Shroud was destroyed by the Forbidden, but the unharmed Duel went on to destroy the Forbidden. Soon after Duel also destroyed the Raider with Buster's Gun Launcher. Piloted by Yzak Joule.
o GAT-X1022 Blu Duel [GS73] - A new design by Aktaeon Industries, based on the design of the GAT-X102 Duel Assault Shroud. The unit is armed with the standard pair of head-mounted CIWS as well as a shield, a retractable beam rifle, a pair of beam sabres, three Anti-Armor Penetrators and a railgun. Unlike the original Duel, who's additional 'Assault Shroud' armor was not equipped with Phase Shift Armor, all of the Blu Duel's armor is equipped with Phase Shift. Assigned to the same squad as the GAT-X103AP Verde Buster and GAT-X105E Strike Noir. Destroyed in battle with several TMF/A-802W2 Kerberos BuCUE Hound. Piloted by Mudie Holcroft.

* GAT-X103 Buster [GS] - Long-range artillery MS, equipped with Gun Launcher and High-Energy Beam Rifle that can be combined together to form either Hyper Impulse Long-Range Beam Sniper Rifle or Anti-Armor Shotgun. Stolen by ZAFT, later recovered by the Archangel crew. Providence Gundam leaves Buster nearly destroyed. Piloted by Dearka Elsman.
o GAT-X103AP Verde Buster [GS73] - A new design by Aktaeon Industries, based on the design of the GAT-X103 Buster. The unit has all the same armament as the original Buster (two shoulder-mounted 6-tube 220mm missile launchers, a 350mm gun-launcher, and a 94mm high-energy beam cannon), only the previously hip-mounted gun-launcher and high-energy beam cannon have been moved to the shoulders. The hips now each mount an M9009B composite bayonet-equipped beam rifle, which can combine side-by-side to form a single beam cannon. Assigned to the same squad as the GAT-X102 Blu Duel and GAT-X105E Strike Noir. It is destroyed after running out of power while fighting a group of DSSD Custom Civilian Astrays. Piloted by Shams Coza.

* GAT-X105 Strike [GS]
o GAT-X105+AQM/E-X01 Aile Strike [GS]
o GAT-X105+AQM/E-X02 Sword Strike [GS]
o GAT-X105+AQM/E-X03 Launcher Strike [GS]
o GAT-X105+AQM/E-X04 Gunbarrel Strike [GSA]
o GAT-X105+P202QX Strike IWSP [GSA]
o GAT-X105+P204QX Lightning Strike [GSA]
o GAT-X105E Strike E [GSFA]
+ GAT-X105E+AQM/E-X09S Strike Noir [GS73]

* GAT-X131 Calamity [GS] - Artillery prototype MS, carries a heavy weapon loadout, with 2 beam cannons on the shoulders, 2 on the shield, and a high energy beam cannon in the chest, as well as a powerful plasma sabot bazooka. Calamity is destroyed by Justice equipped with its METEOR. Its "living CPU" pilot is Orga Sabnak.
o GAT-X133 Sword Calamity [GSA] - Close combat version of Calamity, mounts two anti-ship swords instead of the backpack cannons, its shoulders have additional thrusters and mount two beam boomberangs, and it has two rocket anchors. It retains its chest mounted beam cannon, but it is 30% weaker than that of Calamity. Three units were built, piloted by famed aces Edward "Ed the Ripper" Harrelson and Rena "Sakura Burst" Imelia, and "Combat Coordinator" Four Socius.

* GAT-X207 Blitz [GS] - Uses the Mirage Colloid for stealth capabilities. Armed with a "Trikeros" shield, which mounts a beam rifle, beam saber, and three "lancer dart" kinetic energy penetrators. Stolen by ZAFT, later destroyed by the GAT-X105 Strike. Piloted by Nicol Amalfi.
o GAT-X207SR Nero Blitz [GSΔA] - A new design by Aktaeon Industries, based on the design of the GAT-X207 Blitz. The "SR" stands for "Stealth Reinforcement". Equipped with a large grappling arm on back which can smash even Phase Shift armor.

* GAT-X252 Forbidden [GS] - Close-combat prototype MS, carries a powerful scythe and two movable shields which utilize "Geshmedig Panzer" beam deflection system uses Mirage Colloid to deflect incoming beams. It is also heavily armed, with two CIWS, two machine cannons, two rail guns and a plasma induction cannon which it uses at all ranges with a controllable arcing beam; Destroyed by the GAT-X102 Duel. Piloted by Shani Andras.
o GAT-X255 Forbidden Blue [GSA/GSV/GSD] - Underwater combat prototype derived from the Forbidden. Armed with a phonon maser cannon and supercativating torpedoes. At least three units were built, one piloted by "White Whale" Jane Houston. These units rely on Geshmedig Panzer beam deflection system to keep the Gundam intact; however it the power were cut off the unit would implode under the immense pressure. This problem is corrected in the official mass production units GAT-706S Deep Forbidden and GAT-707E Forbidden Vortex.

* GAT-X303 Aegis [GS] - A transformable MS-MA hybrid, can transform into mobile armor mode. It is equipped with a devastating "Scylla" beam cannon, along with a hand-carried beam rifle and four beam sabers built into its limbs. Stolen by ZAFT and later self-destructed to destroy the Strike. Piloted by Athrun Zala.
o GAT-X303AA Rosso Aegis [GSΔA] - A new design by Aktaeon Industries, based on the design of the GAT-X303 Aegis. The "AA" stands for "Advanced Acceleration". Unlike the Aegis, it can fire the "Scylla" cannon in mobile suit mode, and is capable of atmospheric flight in both MS and MA mode.

* GAT-X370 Raider [GS] - A transformable MS-MA hybrid, can transform into a high-speed fighter. It carries considerable weaponry, and can act as a subflight unit for the heavy, groundbound Calamity. Destroyed by Duel Gundam (later retconed to being destroyed by the Buster Gundam). Piloted by Clotho Buer.

[edit] Production units

* Mistral (MAW-01) [GS] - Several units are stored in the Archangel's hangar.

* GAT-01 Strike Dagger [GS]
o GAT-01A1 105 Dagger [GSV/GSA/GSD] - The "true" mass-production version of the Strike, capable of mounting the Striker Packs.
o GAT-01AR2 Slaughter Dagger [GSΔA/HS73] - Updated version of the 105 Dagger, in use by Phantom Pain.

* GAT/A-01E2 Buster Dagger [GSV/GSA] - the mass-produced version of the X103 Buster, though very rare. The only known Buster Dagger was piloted by "Sakura Burst", aka Rena Imelia.

* GAT-01D Long Dagger and GAT-01D1 Duel Dagger [GSV/GSA] - both designs can be considered the Dagger form of the X102 Duel. Long Dagger is designed for Coordinators, such as Jean Carry or "Combat Coordinators" Eleven Socius and Seven Socius. Duel Dagger is a Natural-use variant, and was piloted, among others by famed EA aces Edward Harrelson and Rena Imelia.

* GAT-02L2 Dagger L [GSD] - produced following the First Bloody Valentine War, the successor to the GAT-01A1 105 Dagger.

* GAT-04 Windam [GSD] - mass-produced, enters service in late CE 73 and early CE 74 to replace the Dagger-L

* GAT-333 Raider Full Spec [GSV/GSA] - the original project of the Raider, mass-produced. One Raider Full Spec is known to have been piloted by EA ace Edward Harrelson, aka Ed the Ripper.

* GAT-706S Deep Forbidden [GSV/GSA] - the mass-production version of the Forbidden Blue; some weapons have been removed, and has a strengthened pressure hull instead of relying on Trans-Phase armour and "Geshmedig Panzer" to resist water pressure

* GAT-707E Forbidden Vortex [GSD] - limited-production variant of the Forbidden Blue prototype, with the pressure-shielding of the Deep Forbidden. Otherwise, it is identical.

* GAT-SO2R N Dagger N [GSDV/GSDA] - a special-operations mobile suit derived from the GAT-X207 Blitz and built on the frame of the GAT-01A1 105 Dagger; equipped with the N-Jammer Canceler, nuclear engine, and a Mirage Colloid stealth system

* GAT-X399/Q Wild Dagger [GSDV] - a limited production version ground mobile suit that is derived from the captured ZGMF-X88S Gaia and the GAT-02L2 Dagger L; can transform into a similar quadruped mode like the Gaia; there were 72 Wild Daggers produced for counter-insurgency units

[edit] Mobile armors

* GFAS-X1 Destroy [GSD] - (GFAS is short for Gressorial Fortress Armament Strategic). A giant, heavily armed transformable mobile armor, armed with numerous beam cannons and missile launchers, and protected by postitron reflector shields. Destroy's power is such that it is considered a strategic, rather than tactical, weapon. A total of at least nine Destroy units are built. One is piloted by Extended pilot Stella Loussier, and is destroyed by Kira Yamato's ZGMF-X10A Freedom in battle over Berlin. Another is piloted by Sting Oakley, and is destroyed by Shinn Asuka's ZGMF-X42S Destiny in the battle over Heaven's Base. The other Destroy units were also destroyed during the battles at Heaven's Base and the Daedalus moon base. Both its design and initial appearance in the anime are highly reminiscent of the Universal Century MRX-009 Psyco Gundam. Its mobile armor form, however is an obvious homage to the MA-08 Big Zam.

* TS-MB1B Euclid [GSD] - Mass-produced flight-capable mobile armor. Armed with two beam cannons and two Gatling guns. Fielded in defense of Heaven's Base. Capable of both Earth and Space combat.

* YMAG-X7F Gells-Ghe [GSD] - Base-defense mobile armor with many similarities to the YMAF-X6BD Zamza-Zah mobile armor, but ground-based. It needs three pilots to operate it and also has a positron reflector. The lower body is spider-like, and the upper body is a heavily modified Dagger torso. One unit was defeated by ZGMF-X23S Saviour.

* TS-MA2 Moebius [GS] - The standard space-based fighter of the Earth Alliance during the first Bloody Valentine War. Its standard armament is four missiles and two 40mm autocannons, with an optional position for a linear gun, beam cannon or a single nuclear missile in place of the four standard missiles. It was used to destroy Junius 7 in the infamous "Bloody Valentine Incident", but became obsolete early in the First Bloody Valentine War and was heavily outclassed by ZAFT mobile suits. It was used until June CE 71, when it was replaced by the Strike Dagger.

* TS-MA2mod.00 Moebius Zero [GS] - The prototype of the Moebius mobile armors used by the Earth Alliance, featuring a linear gun and four gunbarrels which could be detached from the body of the unit and guided by cables. Although the additional gunbarrels allowed the pilot of the Moebius Zero to overwhelm opponents with a simultaneous multi-directional attack, they proved to be too difficult for most pilots to handle, and the design was pared down for the production model. Only a limited number of units using the prototype design saw action, piloted by an elite squadron of Earth Alliance lieutenants. Of these, the only one to survive combat was Mu La Flaga, who brought the last Moebius Zero unit with him to what would become the Three Ships Alliance when he joined the crew of the Archangel. It was retired after the Archangel landed on Earth, as Mu switched to a FX-550 Skygrasper, due to Moebius Zero's wire-guided gunbarrels being unable to operate in Earth's atmosphere. It would also spawn a Striker pack variant known as the AQM/E-X04 Gunbarrel Striker a unit which also functioned as a Striker pack for the GAT-01A1 Dagger and GAT-X105 Strike.

* TS-MA4F Exus [GSD] - Neo Roanoke's mobile armor, similar in concept and appearance to the TS-MA2mod.00 Moebius Zero. Armed with 2 railguns, a missile launcher, and 4 wire-guided gunbarrels drones, which each mount two beam guns and two beam sabers. For a fighter, the TS-MA4F proved to be much more effective against ZAFT mobile suits than the TS.MA-2 series.

* TSX-MA717/ZD Pergrande [GSA] - Prototype mobile armor, nuclear-powered and N-Jammer equipped. Features a multi-vector attack system called DRAGOON.

* YMAF-X6BD Zamza-Zah [GSD] - Flight-capable mobile armor, has a giant body of vaguely crab-like shape. Three pilots are needed to operate it (one for the main section, one for the claws, and one gunner). It is equipped with combat claws and particle beam cannons in the limbs, and a positron reflector in the head capable of deflecting positron beams. Destroyed by ZGMF-X56S Impulse.

[edit] Eurasian Federation

While also in the Earth Alliance, the Eurasian Federation has their own mobile suits, the Composition Armament Tactical mobile suits. They are based on Acteton Industry's Gel-Finito.

* CAT1-X Hyperion [GSA]

[edit] Production units

* CAT1-XG Hyperion G [GSFA] - Mass production land-use version of the Hyperion Gundam. There are 12 units in total. Unit 2 is customized for Gai Murakumo.

[edit] Republic of East Asia

* GAT-FJ108 Raigo [GSFA]
o GAT-FJ108 Speculum Raigo [GSFA]
o GAT-FJ108 Caliburn Raigo [GSFA]
o GAT-FJ108 Sumbullet Raigo [GSFA]

[edit] ZAFT

ZAFT mobile suits have the following designations and meanings:[citation needed]

* ZGM (Zero-Gravity Maneuver)
* ZGMF (Zero-Gravity Maneuver Fighter)
* ZGMF-X (Zero-Gravity Maneuver Fighter-Experimental)
* ZGMT (Zero-Gravity Maneuver Trainer)
* AMF (Aerial Maneuver Fighter)
* AMA (Aerial Maneuver Attacker)
* TFA (Terrestrial Fighter Artillery)
* TMF/A (Terrestrial Maneuver Fighter/Attacker)
* UWMF/S (UnderWater Maneuver Fighter/Striker(?))
* UMF (Underwater Maneuver Fighter)
* YMF (Prototype Maneuver Fighter)
* XMF (Experiment Maneuver Fighter)

When ZAFT builds three new mobile suits based on the stolen MS units GAT-X102 Duel, GAT-X103 Buster, GAT-X207 Blitz and 'GAT-X303 Aegis, they develop the ZGMF-X_A series and re-designate the operating system for those suits as "Generation Unsubdued Nuclear Drive Assault Module" Complex (or "GUNDAM" Complex).

After the Bloody Valentine War, the OS is updated to support the "Deuterion Beam Energy Supply System" that the newer ZAFT suits use, and the system the ZGMF-X_S series uses is re-designated as "Generation Unrestricted Network Drive Assault Module". Later in the war a third version of the OS, "Gunnery United Nuclear-Deutrion Advanced Maneuver" System, is used in the new ZGMF-X42S Destiny and ZGMF-X666S Legend.

ZAFT experimental units generally have their numerical designation prefaced with "X" followed by a two or three digit type code and a letter designating their stage of development: "A" for First Stage, "S" for Second Stage and "T" for Third stage suits. For Second Stage units, the two-digit series designators include a type number (first digit) and a series number (second digit), so the ZGMF-X56S Impulse is Type 5, Series 6. The only exceptions are the ZGMF-X19A ∞ Justice and ZGMF-X20A Strike Freedom due to the fact that they aren't constructed by ZAFT and are "resurrections" of the earlier prototypes. The Type numbers' significance for X_S-series Second Stage units is as follows:

* 1: None; only first generations were given this number, but their model numbers are in sequence
* 2: Transforming Air/space-use units
* 3: Underwater-use units
* 4: General all-purpose-use units
* 5: Silhouette system units
* 6: DRAGOON system units
* 7: Unknown
* 8: Ground-use units

[edit] Prototypes

* ZGMF-X31S (RGX-02) Abyss [GSD] - Equipped with powerful beam weapons, can transform into a mobile armor used for underwater combat. Stolen by EA. Destroyed by ZGMF-X56S/γ Blast Impulse. Piloted by Auel Neider, an Extended pilot.

* YFX-200 CGUE DEEP Arms [GSV/GSA] - After four EA G-units were captured by ZAFT, some of their technology was incorporated into several heavily modified ZGMF-515 CGUE units into several new CGUE Directional Energy Emission Experimental Arms (DEEP Arms) mobile suits; armed with two heavy beam cannons and a physical beam sword. One was piloted by Shiho Hahnenfuss until the Second Battle of Jachin Due.

* ZGMF-X24S (RGX-01) Chaos [GSD] - Specialized for assault in space, it transforms into a mobile armor used for space combat, its main arament is a pair of detachable remote weapon pods. Stolen by EA. Piloted by Sting Oakley, an Extended pilot. Destroyed by three Orb Union MVF-M11C Murasame mobile suits.

* ZGMF-X42S Destiny [GSD] - ZAFT's newest and most advanced mobile suit. Equipped with a hyper-deuterion nuclear reactor, Wings of Light system, and armament based on all three Silhouettes of the ZGMF-X56S Impulse. Was heavily damaged by Athrun Zala and his ZGMF-X19A ∞ Justice. Piloted by Shinn Asuka.

* YMF-X000A Dreadnought [GSA]

* ZGMF-X10A Freedom [GS/GSD]

* ZGMF-X88S Gaia [GSD] - Capable of transforming into a 4-legged mobile armor used for terrestrial combat. Stolen by Earth Alliance, piloted by Stella Loussier. Later recovered by ZAFT. Later in the war, Andrew Waltfeld pilots a custom-colored red Gaia unit; although, it is unclear if it is the same unit that Stella piloted.

* YMF-01B Proto GINN [GSA] - Original GINN prototype mobile suit, later used for training.

* ZGMF-X2000CQGB&S GOUF Crusher [GSDV] - A close combat variant of the ZGMF-X2000 GOUF Ignited design, the beam guns and beam sword have been removed, and replaced with a heavy hammer and vice claw. The design was dropped because it was less useful than the original GOUF design.

* ZGMF-X2000 GOUF Ignited [GSD] - Derived from the ZAKU series, the GOUF (Guardian of Unity Forerunner) Ignited is armed with two tentacle-like heat rods inside its forearms, a double-edged beam sword, and two 4-barrel beam guns on its forearms. Piloted by Heine Westenfluss, is destroyed in its first battle on Earth by ZGMF-X88S Gaia.

* YFX-600R GuAIZ Experimental Firearms Type [GSV/GS] - Some ZGMF-600 GuAIZ units were refitted to test several weapons that were used by ZGMF-X10A Freedom (railguns and beam rifle), and ZGMF-X09A Justice (subflight lifter and beam rifle). At least one unit was used in combat by ZAFT at Second Battle of Jachin Due, but current fate is unknown.

* ZGMF-X56S Impulse [GSD] - Composed by the Core Splendor, the Chest Flyer and the Leg Flyer, can dock mid-air into a mobile suit form. It relies on battery power that can be remotely replenished by its mother ship. Its armament includes 2 chest-mounted CIWS, 1 high-energy beam rifle, 1 mobile shield, and 2 "Folding Razor" knives. The Impulse is piloted by Shinn Asuka, and later by Lunamaria Hawke when Shinn obtained ZGMF-X42S Destiny. Three more units would later be fielded by ZAFT and equipped with the Destiny Silhouette. Unlike the unit aboard the Minerva, these Impulse units did not feature Variable Phase Shift Armor. Like the earlier Strike, the Impulse can be equipped with additional packs called "Silhouettes."
o ZGMF-X56S/α Force Impulse [GSD] - High mobility configuration, analogous to the Aile Strike, but capable of atmospheric flight.
o ZGMF-X56S/β Sword Impulse [GSD] - Analogous to the Sword Strike, and similar to the GAT-X133 Sword Calamity; equipped with anti-warship swords and beam boomerangs. Besides being equipped with the standard armament of the ZGMF-X56S Impulse (chest-mounted CIWS guns, anti-armor knifes, mobile shield, beam rifle), the Sword Impulse uses the β Sword Silhouette pack, which grants the suit access to two large anti-ship swords and two beam boomerangs.The Sword Silhouette mounts two large MMI-710 "Excalibur" anti-ship swords, which are similar to the sword used on the GAT-X133 Sword Calamity. As the name implies, these swords are mainly used to attack ships in space and naval ships on Earth, although they can also be used against mobile suits and even used as a throwing weapon. The swords can also can also combine to create a large dual-bladed ambidextrous form.Similar to the old ZGMF-X09A Justice, the Sword Silhouette also mounts two RQM60 "Flash-Edge" beam boomerangs for added ranged combat.
o ZGMF-X56S/γ Blast Impulse [GSD] - Analogous to the Launcher Strike, and similar to the ZGMF-X10A Freedom; equipped with beam cannons, railguns, and beam javelins.Besides being equipped with the standard armament of the ZGMF-X56S Impulse (chest-mounted CIWS guns, anti-armor knifes, mobile shield, beam rifle), the Blast Impulse uses the γ Blast Silhouette pack, which grants the suit access to two powerful long range beam cannons, two rail cannons, two missile launchers and two beam javelins. Inside Earth's gravity, the Blast Silhouette prevents the Impulse from flying, although it can hover over water.The most powerful weapon of the Blast Silhouette are its two large M2000F "Kerberos" high-energy long-range beam cannons. These cannons grant the suit heavy firepower over long distances. When in use, the cannons swoop underneath the arms of the Impulse, who then holds them in his arms when firing. Additionally, two MMI-M16XE2 "Deluge" hyper-velocity rail cannons are mounted on the pack, which, when deployed, are mounted over the shoulders.Besides its cannons, the Blast Silhouette also mounts two GMF39 quadruple missile launchers. These launchers are mounted on top of the beam cannons and, when used, are mounted over the shoulders of the Impulse. These cannons are used to fire a large number of AGM141 "Firefly" guided missiles.Although designed for ranged combat, the Blast Silhouette pack contains two MA-M80 "Defiant" beam javelins, a variant of the classic beam sabers. These javelins can be used for close combat.
o ZGMF-X56S/δ Chaos Impulse [GSA] - Uses Silhouette and specialized Leg Flyer to duplicate the abilities of the ZGMF-X24S Chaos.
o ZGMF-X56S/ε Abyss Impulse [GSA] - Uses Silhouette and specialized Leg Flyer to duplicate the abilities of the ZGMF-X31S Abyss.
o ZGMF-X56S/ζ Gaia Impulse [GSA] - Uses Silhouette and specialized Leg Flyer to duplicate the abilities of the ZGMF-X88S Gaia.
o ZGMF-X56S/η ? Impulse - No information available, could possibly duplicate the abilities of the ZGMF-X23S Saviour.
o ZGMF-X56S/θ Destiny Impulse [GSV]- Analogous to the Strike IWSP; equipped with backpack "wings" of ZGMF-X42S Destiny and used to test that unit's new systems.Besides using the base armament of the ZGMF-X56S Impulse, the Destiny Impulse is equipped with the θ Destiny Silhouette, granting it access to a wide variety of additional armaments. This includes two MMI-710 "Excalibur" anti-ship swords, the same types used on the Sword Silhouette, two high-energy long-range beam cannons, two RQM-60F "Flash Edge 2" beam boomerangs, which double as beam sabers and lastly two MX2351 "Solidus Fulgur" beam shield generators, which are mounted on the forearms of the suit. While the Destiny Silhouette effectively duplicates the functions of all three original Silhouettes, its very high power consumption makes it poorly suited for combat use on a battery-powered mobile suit.

* ZGMF-X09A Justice [GS]

* ZGMF-X666S Legend [GSD] - The successor to the ZGMF-X13A Providence, equipped with a nuclear reactor and an improved version of the DRAGOON system. Piloted by Rey Za Burrel. Later heavily damaged by the ZGMF-X20A Strike Freedom and was in the Messiah when the fortress was destroyed.

* ZGMF-YX21R (RGX-04) Proto Saviour [GSDA] - Prototype mobile suit from which the later ZGMF-X23S Saviour was derived. Unlike its successor, the Proto Saviour was developed and built on Earth. It is identical to the Saviour in armaments and capabilities, except that it is also equipped with a Mirage Colloid Virus Spreader. Piloted by Ile De Llorar
o ZGMF-YX21R Proto-Saviour+11 (Plus Eleven) [GSDA] - A version of the Proto-Saviour that is equipped with an add-on from the ZGMF-X11A Regenerate.

* ZGMF-X11A Regenerate [GSA] - Third model in the series, after Freedom and Justice, also equipped with the N-Jammer Canceller. Massive and heavily armed, it is not compatible with the METEOR System. It can also transform into a Mobile Armor mode similar to the Aegis Gundam, with similar arnaments of 4 Beam Swords and a 1 Hyper Impulse Cannon; however, its size is a massive 35 meters tall, unmatched by anything else in the first Bloody Valentine War and not matched until the Earth Alliance's GFAS-X1 Destroy Gundam in C.E. 73. It has the unique capability to eject damaged parts and receive replacements from its backpack. Its backpack main body has the ability to invade and take control of other MS's system by plugging through MS APU socket, found on the back of the MS.

* ZGMF-X23S Saviour [GSD] - Can transform into a mobile armor for aerial combat with extra speed and mobility. Appears to be derived from the GAT-X303 Aegis. Piloted by Athrun Zala while in ZAFT's elite division, FAITH. Destroyed by ZGMF-X10A Freedom in the Battle of Crete.

* ZGMF-X12A (RGX-00) Testament [GSA] - First mobile suit to use Variable Phase Shift armor. Also able to use Earth Alliance's Striker Packs. Was never fielded by ZAFT and instead stolen by the Earth Alliance, who modified it and equipped it with a Mirage Colloid Virus Spreader, that gives it several unique battle abilities.

* ZGMF-X101S Zaku Splendor A modified ZAKU Phantom used to test the Core Splendor concept used in the ZGMF-X56S Impulse.

* ZGMF-X999A ZAKU Trial Type [GSA] - The prototype of the ZAKU series, equipped with NJC and nuclear engine.

Capable of mounting Wizard packs, and moves at high speed along the ground with a hovercraft-like system. The prototypes were never deployed in combat by ZAFT, but a modified version is produced by the Clyne Faction.

* ZGMF-XX09T DOM Trooper Original Spec Type [GSDV] - The original version of the ZGMF-XX09T DOM Trooper. Mounts an EX-G1 "Knight Wizard" backpack capable of carrying either "Gigalauncher" bazooka/beam cannons or drill lances. The original version was never produced.

[edit] Production units

* UMF/SSO-3 ASH [GSD] - Transformable amphibious mobile suit, appears to be a development of the older UMF-5 ZnO. Includes both underwater and surface-use weaponry, making it a far superior amphibious unit than its predecessors.

* AMA-953 BABI [GSD] - Transformable aerial combat mobile suit. Armed with a beam rifle, a shotgun, a chest-mounted beam cannon, and two wing-mounted 12-round missile pods. Supplements and will probably eventually replace the aging AMF-101 DINN.

o TMF/A-802W2 Kerberos BuCUE Hound [GS73]

* AMF-101 DINN [GS/GSD] - Mass-production MS, derived from the ZGMF-515 CGUE, but lighter and capable of aerial combat.
o AME-WAC01 DINN Special Electronic Installation Type
o AMF-103A DINN RAVEN - An upgrade of the AMF-101 DINN created after the First Bloody Valentin War, features nuclear engine, Mirage Colloid, and improved sensors. One was custom painted for ex-ZAFT pilot Kaite Madigan.

* ZGMF-1017 GINN [GS/GSD] - First mass produced mobile suit by ZAFT as the response from the ZAFT towards the assault from the Earth Alliance during the Bloody Valentine War. The basic version sports a heavy sword and a projectile-based automatic cannon, but other weapons can be mounted. While gradually being replaced by the GuAIZ late in the war, the abundance of these units mean that many of these fall into the hands of mercenaries, Junk Guild technicians and even wealthy civilians. Variants include:
o ZGMF-515 CGUE [GS/GSD] - An upgraded version of the GINN, used by unit commanders. One of these is used by ace pilot Rau Le Creuset. It has an optional shield + gatling cannon module that can be mounted.
o ZGMF-LRR704B GINN Long Range Reconnaissance Type [GS/GSD] - A GINN designed for long range reconnaissance and early warning purpose. Being designed as an AEW vehicle, it has numerous sensors and a large radome, but is only lightly armed (with a sniper rifle). This is one of the few types of GINNs officially deployed until the Second Bloody Valentine War.
o ZGMF-1017M GINN High Maneuver Type [GS/GSA] - An upgraded version of the basic GINN, with more thrusters and engines mounted on the wings. One is piloted by Rau Le Creuset as well.
o ZGMF-1017M2 GINN High Maneuver Type II [GSD] - A further upgraded version of the GINN HM, produced after the war. It spots beam arms, and traditional swords. Several units are used by Rogue ZAFT forces attempting the drop the Junius 7 ruins on Earth.

* ZGMF-2000 GOUF Ignited [GSD] - Production model of the ZGMF-X2000 GOUF Ignited, for use by squad leaders and aces. Indistinquishable from the prototype, aside from the blue and black color scheme.

* ZGMF-600 GuAIZ [GS] - The successor to the GINN series. Features beam weapon technology derived from the stolen EA units. Comparable in performance to the GAT-X prototype stolen units.
o ZGMF-601R GuAIZ R [GSD] - Updated version of the GuAIZ, rolled out after the war. Superior in armament, but has reduced thrust and simplified controls compared to the original GuAIZ.

* TMF/A-803 LaGOWE [GS]

* ZGMF-1001 ZAKU Phantom [GSD] - High-end version of the ZAKU Warrior, a commander class unit. It is equipped with the same beam assault rifle as the ZAKU Warrior, but carries two beam axes and two shields. The ZAKU Phantom mounts the same Wizard units as the ZAKU Warrior.

* ZGMF-1000 ZAKU Warrior [GSD] - A mass-production MS, developed after the Bloody Valentine War as the main MS production line under the "New Millennium Series" project.

o ZGM-1000/R4 Command ZAKU CCI - An unarmed ZAKU Warrior used for battlefield command and control. Shoulder shield is replaced by a large parabolic antenna and beam rifle with an "antenna rifle", and mounts the antenna-laden Command Wizard. Typically escorted by two standard ZAKU Warriors.

* UMF-5 ZnO [GS] - A mobile suit designed for aquatic use.

* TFA-2 ZuOOT [GS] - Designed as a ground assault artillery unit that could transform into a tank. Heavily armed but slow and vulnerable.

[edit] Mobile armors

* XMF-P192P Proto Chaos [GSA] - Prototype mobile armor from which the later ZGMF-X24S Chaos was derived. Resembles Chaos's mobile armor mode, but mounts an addition pair of remote weapon pods instead of arms.

[edit] Orb Union

Orb mobile suits have the following designations and meanings:[citation needed]

* ORB (Orb Union)
* MBF (Main Battle Figure)
* MVF (Main Variable Figure)

[edit] Prototypes

* ORB-01 Akatsuki [GSD] - Mobile suit commissioned by Cagalli's father, Uzumi Nara Athha for her before his death. It is the only Mobile Suit produced with the ORB designation. Similar to the MSN-00100 Hyaku Shiki as it also sports a unique, bright gold color scheme which generally relates to the definition of Akatsuki in English, meaning "dawn." Also similar to the Hyaku Shiki is its profound ability to reflect or neutralize beam weapons on account of the "Yata-no-Kagami" which is coated on its armour. Given to Mu La Flaga just before the Battle of the Messiah. Mu uses it in an attempt to block a positron cannon blast from the Minerva, similar to what he did in the previous war. With the Akatsuki, he succeeded in deflecting the attack. In model kit packaging, the Akatsuki is labeled as the "Akatsuki Gundam."

* MBF-P01 Astray Gold Frame/Re-Amatu/Amatu Perfect Form [GSA/GSVSA]

* MBF-P02 Astray Red Frame/Powered/Mars Jacket [GSA/GSΔA/GSVSA]

* MBF-P03 Astray Blue Frame/2nd L/2nd Revise/Third [GSA/GSVSA]

* MBF-P04 Astray Green Frame [GSFA] - The Fourth unit in the Astray series. The Astray Green Frame is the missing 4th unit of Orb's Gundam Astray prototype mobile suits. Somehow God Hand Barry Ho acquired its wreck and rebuilt it with help from Lowe Guele. Except its colour scheme, the Gundam Astray Green Frame originally featured the same weaponry as the other three Orb Union prototype mobile suits, the two head mounted "Igelstellung" 75mm multi-barrel CIWS and two beam sabers. Besides these weapons the Green Frame is also equipped with a Twin sword rifle, a weapon that can function as both a beam rifle and an axe-like double-edged beam sword. The Green Frame also uses a different model of sensor units that makes its eyes yellow instead of green like the other Gundam Astrays. The Green Frame also has an advance AI to assist its pilot. It was piloted by Trojan Noiret.

* MBF-P05LM Astray Mirage Frame/2nd Issue [GSVSA] - The Fifth unit of the Astray series, which believed to be destroyed by the ZAFT Attack in Heliopolis. For a long time, the existence of the last mecha was uncertain but it was recovered by the Libratian and given several alterations. The Mirage Frame has both Variable Phase Shift Armor and Mirage Colloid, which gives it the ability to alter it's outer appearance and colors at will. It also has a transformation mode which can switch between Commander mode to the combat configuration Gladiator mode, allowing it to take down enemies with it's claws in both power and speed. It was piloted by Rondo Gina Sahaku.

* MBF-02 Strike Rouge [GS/GSD]

[edit] Production units

* MBF-M1 M1 Astray [GS/GSA/GSD]
o MBF-M1A M1A Astray [GS/GSA]

* MVF-M11C Murasame [GSD] - Mass-production mobile suit, capable of transforming into a fighter jet-like flight mode. Armed with a beam rifle and beam saber, plus a beam gun, missiles and four machine guns in flight mode. Murasames have been piloted by Andrew Waltfeld and Ledonir Kisaka.

*
o MVF-M12A Ootsukigata [GSDV] - Late-war variant of the Murasame with a shoulder-mounted railgun and targeting system intended for an artillery role. Three were known to participate in the Battle of Messiah.

*Note: All "Assault Class" 'Mechs are suitably rare that they are not manufactured by normal means and as such very few will be seen on the battlefield, because these 'Mechs only manufactured on certain space colonies, so the side that can manufacture these will have a major advantage over their adversaries. Even if somebody captures these facilities, The sheer amount of materials and manufacturing required puts the production time equal to that of some higher-class Mobile Suits, although the sheer destructive and defensive capabilities of these Assault class 'Mechs is a sight to behold.
