List of Gundams in G-Unit
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As with all fiction created for the Gundam media franchise, the protagonists in the New Mobile Report Gundam Wing Dual Story: G-Unit manga series (released in the English language as Mobile Suit Gundam: The Last Outpost) pilot mobile suits designated as Gundams.
All of the Gundam designs created for the manga were created by Koichi Tokita, with some cleanup by BEE-CRAFT.

Gundam Geminass 02 - Ground Type |

| Armaments | |
| 2 x beam sword, stored in backpack, hand-carried in use; G-UNIT shield; accelerate rifle | |

Developed in secret at the asteroid belt colony MO-V, the Geminass suits were the first of Dr. Berg's experimental G-Unit mobile suits, based loosely on the original Tallgeese design. As well as a Gundanium alloy construction, the Geminass suits featured two new technologies; the Unit System and the PX System. The Unit System was a modular design, allowing any component (excluding the cockpit torso) to be replaced with any other component, allowing mobile suits to be easily modified for any combat or environmental situation. The PX System was able to cause a short period of "super-charge" when activated; temporarily boosting the suit's speed and power, while stimulating an adrenaline surge in the pilot. If abused the PX System could cause damage to the suit and the pilot.
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 manoeuver 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, remodelled as Gundam Aesculapius, and later recaptured by its original pilot.

Gundam Aesculapius |
|
| Gundam Wing fictional continuity | |
| Name: | Aesculapius |
| Designation: | OZ-10VMSX Gundam Aesculapius |
| Unit Type: | Modular Gundam Mobile Suit |
| Manufacturer: | OZ Prize |
| Main pilot(s): | Odel Bernett, Roche Nattono |
| Height: | 18.2 metres |
| Empty weight: | 12.8 metric tons |
| Generator: | ultracompact fusion reactor, power rated at 7,935 kW |
| Armor material: | gundanium alloy (G-metal), titanium alloy |
| Armaments | |
| 2 x beam sword, hand-carried in use; 2 x python claw, stored in shoulder armor, mounted over hands in use; 4 x rapid shot; G-UNIT shield; accelerate rifle | |
| Special Equipment | |
| PX system; 4 x high-torque thruster ; 2 x propellant leg tank; active jammer; omnidirectional active scanner | |
Following the salvage of the remains of Geminass 02, OZX-10VMSX Gundam Aesculapius (written as Asklepios in the Tokyopop English release) 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.
The Aesculapius design is used as the basis for the OZ Prize-constructed Gundam Burnlapius (Prometheus Gundam in the Tokyopop English release), appearing only in the late parts of chapter 10 of the manga.

| Name: | L.O. Booster |
| Designation: | OZX-GU01LOB Gundam L.O. Booster |
| Unit Type: | Modular Gundam Mobile Suit |
| Manufacturer: | MO-V |
| Main pilot(s): | Odin Bernett, Roche Nattono |
| Height: | 22.3 metres |
| Empty weight: | 23.8 metric tons |
| Generator: | ultracompact fusion reactor, power rated at 14,099 kW |
| Armor material: | Gundanium alloy (G-metal) |
| Armaments | |
| 2 x beam sword, stored in backpack, hand-carried in use; reactive shield, mounted on left shoulder; 2 x thrust beam cannon, mounted on backpack behind shoulders; accelerate submachinegun | |
| Special Equipment | |
| laser communication system; A.I.-equipped fire control system; 3D Doppler radar; PX system; 2 x reactor unit; 2 x thrust scissors; 3 x main thruster; 2 x active thruster | |
The OZX-GU01LOB 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.

| Name: | Hydra |
| Designation: | OZ-15AGX Hydra Gundam |
| Unit Type: | Gundam Mobile Suit |
| Manufacturer: | OZ Prize |
| Main pilot(s): | Valder Farkill |
| Height: | 24.6 metres |
| Empty weight: | 21.7 metric tons |
| Generator: | ultracompact fusion reactor, power rated at 15,965 kW |
| Armor material: | Gundanium alloy (G-metal), titanium alloy |
| Armaments | |
| buster gun, mounted on right shoulder, hand-carried in use; beam saber, hand-carried in use; EMF shield; 2 x shoulder claw, mounted on backpack, folded out in use | |
| Special Equipment | |
| 5 x main thruster; 2 x leg vernier; 4 x sub-thruster; slide armor; compound sensor system; stealth jammer | |
The OZ-15AGX 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 (depicted from episode 5 onwards in the Gundam Wing anime).
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. The Hydra appears in the Gundam: The Battle Master 2 Playstation game. It is the first mobile suit outside of the Universal Century continuity to appear in the series.

Gundam Griepe |
|
| Gundam Wing fictional continuity | |
| Name: | Griepe |
| Designation: | OZ-19MASX Gundam Griepe |
| Unit Type: | Modular Gundam Mobile Suit |
| Manufacturer: | OZ Prize |
| Main pilot(s): | Odin Bernett |
| Height: | 25.2 metres |
| Empty weight: | 18.2 metric tons |
| Generator: | ultracompact fusion reactor, power rated at 18,945 kW |
| Armor material: | Gundanium alloy (G-metal) |
| Armaments | |
| buster mega particle cannon; beam lancer, hand-carried in use; hyper mega particle launcher | |
| Special Equipment | |
| 2 x reflect shield; variable thrusters; reactor jet engines; optical active sonar; pulse laser communication system; canard stabilizers; PX system | |
The OZ-19MASX 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's standard armaments include a long range mega particle launcher and a beam lance.
The Griepe can also transform into a fighter mode, which features a buster mega particle cannon capable of taking out several mobile suits in one shot. In its mobile suit mode, it comes with a pair of powerful anti-beam shields connected by flexible joints that deploy like wings, which can fold over the body to provide a defensive shield. When their high-density silicon carbide is activated, they generate a powerful repulsive force field that provides protection against attacks.
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.
