The AGE-1F Gundam AGE-1 Flat is the variant of the AGE-1 Gundam AGE-1 Normal featured in Asemu's Chapter of Mobile Suit Gundam AGE. The unit is mainly piloted by Flit Asuno.

Technology & Combat Characteristics
The Gundam AGE-1 Flat is the variant of Gundam AGE-1 Normal with the AGE System removed, indicated on the new chest piece which is now white instead of black and change in eye color, now full white. Gundam AGE-1 Flat has retained the armaments and same performance as the original unit. Even though the Gundam is more than 25 years old, it has been shown to be able to match newer generation Veigan mobile suits such as the Zeydra and Khronos in combat.

Armaments

 * DODS Rifle
 * The basic long ranged armament of the AGE-1 Flat. The DODS Rifle is created as a multipurpose weapon to shoot down enemy UEs as it can both assume on its normal and sniping modes. The DODS Rifle was capable of piercing through the UE's heavy mobile suit armor by spinning the beam like a powerful drill, generating enough force to destroy the Veigan's mass-production mobile suits such as Gafran, Baqto and Dorado with one shot. The DODS rifle has a limited number of shots, enough to keep a running battle going for some time but eventually repeated use without resupply will render the weapon empty. DODS Rifle can be stored on rear waist when not in use. The word DODS is an acronym that means "Drill-Orbital Discharge System".


 * Beam Saber/Dagger
 * The AGE-1's close combat armament. The Beam Saber can adjust its length for different combat situations and is also strong enough to pierce and destroy the Veigan's mass-production mobile suits such as Gafran, Baqto and Dorado with a single stab.


 * Shield
 * The AGE-1's defensive armament. It's made much thicker and sturdier than the Genoace's shield.
