RX-0 Unicorn Gundam

This article is about a fictional weapon from the Universal Century timeline of a serial novel Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn

Unicorn Gundam
A pure white MS produced by the "UC Project," part of the Federation Space Force's reorganization plan. The entire movable frame of this experimental machine forms a psycoframe, and its responsiveness is incredibly high. It also incorporates a special "Laplace Program" OS and a system known as "NT-D (Newtype Destroyer System)." When NT-D is activated, the internal frame expands and the entire figure is transformed. In the process, the armor separates along its seams, and slides are released. A red glow can be seen where the internal frame is exposed by the gaps in the armor, and this is believed to be a psycoframe luminescence phenomenon. The machine's performance, in particular its mobility, is dramatically increased when NT-D is active. In it's normal mode, it sports a head resembling that of mass-produced MS like the GM.

RX-0 Unicorn Gundam (Destroy Mode)
The Unicorn's appearance when the NT-D - Newtype Destroyer system is activated. In this form, the psycoframe built into the entire body's movable frame reads the pilot's thoughts (psycowaves) and directly influences the unit's movements. In other words, the MS can ultimately be controlled by thought alone. However, when compared to one's idea of how a human body works, the stress of gravity on an 20 meter MS (more than 10 times the size) is extraordinary. Aided by the psycommu, the pilot's mind can only endure about five minutes of operation, after which a limiter is believed to activate, returning the MS to normal Unicorn form. Furthermore, the system activates not according to the pilot's discretion, but automatically when engage newtype enemy. In this mode, the mobile suit becomes taller and its head transforms to one having standard Gundam features. In addition to performance boost, NT-D allow Unicorn Gundam to take control of enemy's psycommu weapons.
