AGE-1F Gundam AGE-1 Flat

The AGE-1F Gundam AGE-1 Flat is a modified version of the AGE-1 Gundam AGE-1 Normal featured in the Asemu Arc, Kio Arc and Three Generation Arc 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 white chest piece and the yellow eyes. Gundam AGE-1 Flat has retained the armaments and same performance as the original unit and despite the Gundam is more than 25 years old, it has been shown to be able to match newest and advanced generation Vagan mobile suits in combat.

In 164 A.G., after the completion of AGE-FX Gundam AGE-FX, the Gundam AGE-1 Flat are heavily upgraded to keep up its performance on par with current mobile suits and additional the extra armor with anti-beam coating, increasing the defensive and able to withstand against beam attacks.

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 Vagan'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.


 * Zefuld Launchers
 * AGE-1 Flat's optional armaments, they are used to launch two missiles. Flit Asuno used the Zefuld Launchers only once to destroy Downes's propulsion system for disabling its defenses before discarding the armaments.

Notes and Trivia

 * In the 4th Opening of the series, the Gundam AGE-1 Flat received an upgrade which some people have dubbed the "AGE-1F Gundam AGE-1 Flat Full Armor".
