Technology & Combat Characteristics
Meijin Kawaguchi's customized Gunpla developed by the PPSE, the Kämpfer Amazing is a variant of the HGUC Kämpfer that first appeared in Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket and has been redesigned from the ground up to meet his needs. The suit has high polycaps in all joints and is coated in emotion paint. Weapon wise, the Kämpfer Amazing is equipped with a pair of knives, a pair of beam sabers and eight heat plates on its limbs. In order to boost its performance, it is often equipped with the Amazing Weapons Binders, which not only contains additional weapons, but also contains thrusters to boost the Gunpla's movement.

What weapons are stored within the binders are decided prior to the battle according to the predicted battle condition.
