AGE-1F Gundam AGE-1 Flat

The AGE-1F Gundam AGE-1 Flat is the variant of the AGE-1F Gundam AGE-1 Normal featured in the second arc of Mobile Suit Gundam AGE. The unit is mainly piloted by Flit Asuno.

Technology & Combat Characteristics
Unit wise, the AGE-1 Flat is actually the AGE-1 Normal completely removed of its AGE System, indicated on the new chest piece. It stills has the same performance as the original unit except it cannot use its intended wears for combat and it's weaponry is the same as the original AGE-1.

Armaments

 * DODS Rifle
 * The basic long ranged armament of the AGE-1 Normal. 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.

Notes and Trivia

 * The Beam Saber/Daggers are stored in a similar fashion to the GAT-X105 Strike "Armor Schneider" Combat Knife. Also like the Strike, Both weapons are also used to disable their first opponent.
