Technology & Combat Characteristics
The Extreme Gundam is designed to house in several armor packs to suit in any combat situations. The head unit is unique as it contains a second V-fin, which hides the second faceplate.

The unit's standard armaments includes 2 Vulcan Guns stored on it's arms instead on it's head, 2 beam sabers for close combat and a Extreme Rifle for taking down enemies form a far.

The Extreme Gundam also has Armor Packs depending on the combat situations. One of them is the Carnage Phase Armor Pack, which gives the unit powerful long ranged capabilities through two gigantic shoulder mounted cannons. Another is the Tachyon Phase Armor Pack, which gives the Extreme Gundam powerful melee attacks and thick armor through the use of a gigantic sword stored on the back of the suit. To make up for the total lack of ranged weaponry, the Tachyon Phase Extreme Gundam is capable of generating and hurling gigantic electric spheres at its enemies.
