TS-MA4F Exus

The TS-MA4F Exus is a Mobile Armor in the series Gundam SEED Destiny.

Combat Abilities
Being based upon the earlier TS-MA2mod.00 Moebius Zero and AQM/E-X04 Gunbarrel, the Exus features similar weapons, which were however improved. Mounted on the main body is a single GAU-M2S 38.5mm machine gun, a M54 "Archer" quadruple missile launcher and a MAU-M3 dual linear gun. Its most powerful and important weapon is the set of four wire-guided Gunbarrel pods that can be remotely controlled by the pilot. Each gunbarrel features a GAU-868L2 dual beam gun and beam cutters of type DE-RXM91C Field Edge "Horned Moon". These weapons allow the pilot not only to simultaneously attack the enemy from different angle and range but also to close in on the enemy when the beam cutter is activated.

History
One Exus is piloted by Neo Roanoke, commander of the Earth Alliance's 81st Independent Mobile Battalion, an elite force sent to capture the three new Gundam prototypes developed by ZAFT. It first saw action in CE 73 when Roanoke went out in this mobile armor to buy some more time for his team members to escape from Armory One. During the attack he used his Exus to destroy several enemy units guarding the colony.

When the new ZAFT battleship Minerva engaged the Phantom Pain in the Debris Belt, Roanoke again launched in his mobile armor and fought against Rey Za Burrel in his ZAKU Phantom. When the Phantom Pain descended to Earth, Roanoke switched his mobile armor and started to use a custom colored GAT-04 Windam.

Another such unit was piloted by Morgan Chevalier, who used his Exas to guard a shuttle containing Bernadette Leroux and Edward Harrelson. Both were considered criminals and sent to an Alliance base on Earth, but on its way the shuttle got attacked by the RGX-04 Proto-Saviour piloted by Ile De Llorar. Morgan used his Exas to fight against it, but Llorar was able to destroy all the Gunbarrels of Morgan's unit. The battle ended when Llorar was driven away by Jean Carry.
