AGE-1 Gundam AGE-1 Normal

AGE-1 Gundam AGE-1 Normal is the titular mobile suit of Mobile Suit Gundam AGE. It is piloted by Flit Asuno.

Technology & Combat Characteristics
The Gundam AGE-1 Normal is the prized possession of the Asuno Family which incorporates a special OS to counter the Unknown Enemy or UE. Since its development, the mobile suit is designed as a Legendary savior, holder of the mobile suit name "Gundam".

Developed through the data retrieved from the AGE device passed down from the Asuno family, the mobile suit is perhaps the only way to fight the UE through combat. Design wise, the mobile suit is intended to be versatile on equipping several arm and leg packs for combat. However, the unit's power lies within its OS, the AGE System, which allows the Mobile Suit to "evolve" and gain access to its three forms from experience in battle.

The suit is equipped with several basic weaponry such as beam sabers/daggers, a beam rifle and a shield. However, it can also can assume two forms: the faster SPARROW Form and the more powerful TITUS Form, in which the arms and legs of the Gundam AGE-1 changes to suit its battle style.

The armor of the Gundam is strong enough to withstand attacks from a Gafran's beam Vulcan or its diffuse beam cannon with no apparent damage.
