XMS-005 Thieleva

The XMS-005 Thielva (ティエルヴァ) is a variant of the WMS-GB5 G-Bouncer from the Three Generations Arc of Mobile Suit Gundam AGE anime series. The unit is piloted by Girard Spriggan.

Technology & Combat Characteristics
The Thielva is Girard's customized G-Bouncer, enhanced with newer technologies from the Vagan. As the unit shares the same frame as the G-Bouncer, it has a distinctly different design than the former which reflects its pilot. The back thrusters used by the G-Bouncers were replaced with newer weaponry called the T Bits, which are controlled remotely to take down enemies. Aside from the T Bits, the Thielva retains the same armaments of the G-Bouncer.

Armaments

 * DODS Rifle
 * A specialized DODS Rifle for Thielva as primary ranged combat armaments. It can be stored on rear waist when not in use.


 * Beam Saber
 * The Thielva's main close combat armament. The Beam Saber can adjust its length for different combat situations.


 * Shield
 * An defensive armament of Thielva. A fairly standard shield that can withstand damage better than the Genoace's.


 * T Bits
 * The T Bits are the new weaponry used by the Thielva, replacing the back binders. These large bits can be deployed and be used as either close combat or range weaponry. They can be used to pierce through enemy units.

Trivia

 * With its red visor, Gundam-styled eye cameras and remote weapons, the Thielva is reminiscent of the MSN-00100 Hyaku Shiki from Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam and the ORB-01 Akatsuki from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny.
