Home > ZGMF-600 GuAIZ


 

In the anime series Gundam Seed, the ZGMF-600 GuAIZ is an advanced mobile suit intended to replaced both the outdated ZGMF-1017 GINN and the commander-model ZGMF-515 CGUE. It incorporated beam weapon technology from the four stolen Earth Alliance G Project units, in the form of a beam rifle and a shield mounting a pair of beam claws. It also mounted two CIWS guns in the head and a pair of extensional arrestors on the back, which were similar to the GAT-X207 Blitz Gundam's "Gleipnir" or the GAT-X105 Strike Gundam's "Panzer Eisen" rocket anchors. While the GuAIZ was the most advanced mass production unit of the war, ZAFT was unable to build them quickly enough to field in sufficient numbers. Those that were produced were assigned primarily to ace pilots like Rau Le Creuset and the members of the elite Joule Team. The GuAIZ was markedly inferior to the ZGMF-X10A Freedom Gundam, however; even in the hands of a highly elite pilot like Le Creuset, it simply could not be made powerful enough to match the nuclear-powered Gundam.

A variant of the GuAIZ was also built, the YFX-600R GuAIZ Experimental Firearms Type. This suit was built as a testbed for many of the advanced weapons and technology used in the Justice and Freedom Gundams, including Justice's backpack/subflight lifter and Freedom's hip-mounted railguns. While it was initially battery powered, the GuAIZ Experimental Firearms Type was lated refitted with N-Jammer Canceller technology. In addition, the YMF-X000A Dreadnought Gundam used a modified GuAIZ body.

After the end of the war, the GuAIZ was redesigned, replacing the extensional arrestors with a pair of hip-mounted folding railguns to become the advanced production type ZGMF-601R GuAIZ R. Though more powerful than the original GuAIZ, the GuAIZ R is generally outperformed by the follow-on ZAKU series (especially Zakus equipped with the high-performance Blaze or Slash packs). Additionally, some advanced variants of the GINN - such as the GINN High Maneuver II - outperform the GuAIZ R in certain combat regimes.
