The AGE-1F Gundam AGE-1 Flat is a modified version of the AGE-1 Gundam AGE-1 Normal introduced in the Asemu Arc of Mobile Suit Gundam AGE. It is 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 by the new white chest piece and the yellow eyes. Even without the AGE System, the AGE-1 Flat can still battle against advanced Vagan mobile suits in A.G. 140s thanks to Flit's high piloting skills. However, by A.G. 164, the aging mobile suit was no longer able to keep up with newer Vagan models, such as the xvt-zgc Ghirarga and the Xvm-zbc Xamdrag, resulting in it being heavily damaged in battle. As a result, it was upgraded into the more powerful AGE-1G Gundam AGE-1 Glansa.

Armaments[]

  • DODS Rifle
The basic long-range armament of the AGE-1 Flat. The DODS Rifle can assume two modes: normal and sniping. The DODS Rifle is capable of piercing through the Vagan's mobile suit armor by spinning the beam like a powerful drill. 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. The DODS Rifle can be stored on the rear waist when not in use. The word DODS is an acronym that means "Drill-Orbital Discharge System".[1]
  • Beam Saber/Dagger
Stored in the AGE-1 Flat's side skirt armor are a pair of beam sabers. The beam sabers can adjust the length of their beam blades to suit different combat situations and are strong enough to pierce and destroy the Vagan's mass-production mobile suits such as Gafran, Baqto, etc. One can be used as a reserve weapon, or both can be used simultaneously in a twin sword fashion.
  • Shield
The AGE-1 Flat's defensive armament. This is the same shield as used by the original AGE-1
  • Zefuld Launcher
An optional high mobility unit mounted on the AGE-1 Flat's back, it is armed with a pair of missile launchers loaded with a powerful missile each. Flit used the Zefuld Launcher to destroy Downes's propulsion system, before discarding it.
  • Plasma Diver Missile
A base-capture tactical weapon, used during the Battle of La Gramis.

History[]

A.G. 141[]

With the development of the Gundam AGE-1's successor, the AGE-2 Gundam AGE-2 Normal, the AGE-1's AGE System was transferred to the new mobile suit, while AGE-1 itself was modified into the Gundam AGE-1 Flat. When the Vagan launched an attack on the Big Ring, the military base's commander, Flit Asuno, launched in the AGE-1 Flat to aid both Woolf Enneacle's WMS-GB5 G-Bouncer, and Asemu Asuno's Gundam AGE-2 Normal against Desil Galette's Xvm-dgc Khronos and Zeheart Galette Xvm-zgc Zeydra. Despite its simple equipment, Flit easily kept up against Desil and lured him into taking a shot from Asemu and Woolf. As Flit had planned, the Galette brothers were contained and the Vagans were eventually forced to retreat.

With the Vagans becoming active, Flit and the AGE-1 Flat rejoined the Diva and fought the Zeydra again near Solon City, where it proved to be the more advanced suit's equal. As the skirmish's tide turned with the arrival of the AGE-2DB Gundam AGE-2 Double Bullet, the AGE-1 Flat successfully salvaged the cockpit of an Ovm-e Dorado, acquiring one of the Vagan's Mu-szell helmets that would bring out a person's X-Rounder abilities.

During the battle of Nortrum, the AGE-1 Flat departed to attack the thrusters of the Vagan Fortress Downes, so it wouldn't be able to use its Gigantes Shield. While Flit was largely successful, the Vagans resorted to manually turning Downes with their mobile suits instead, and Flit's attempts to stop them was interrupted by Daz Roden's Ovm-el Dorado L. Though the AGE-1 Flat cut the unit in half, Daz rushed towards the Gundam's cockpit with the Dorado L's damaged torso before exploding in point-blank range. Flit was unharmed by the blast, but the AGE-1 Flat lost both its arms and was forced to return to the Diva.

A.G. 164[]

After the Battle of Nortrum, the AGE-1 was presumably kept in storage until the battle of Rostroulan, where it, and the AGE-3 Gundam AGE-3 Normal boarded the Diva. The AGE-1 Flat finally returned to battle when the ship was caught by a pincer attack from the forces of Zeheart and Zanald Beihart. Though the AGE-1 Flat fought hard against Zeheart's Xvt-zgc Ghirarga and Zanald's Xvm-zbc Xamdrag, it was unable to overcome the two powerful machines. The AGE-1 Flat lost both its legs, and its rear thrusters were also damaged, preventing Flit from chasing after his grandson Kio Asuno in the AGE-3O Gundam AGE-3 Orbital, which was captured by the Xamdrag.

After the battle, AGE-1 Flat was upgraded into the AGE-1G Gundam AGE-1 Glansa. During the final battle of La Gramis, Flit eventually reverted his mobile suit to the AGE-1 Flat and launched with the Plasma Diver Missile in order to destroy the Vagan fortress alongside the berserk mobile suit, Vagan Gear Sid. Through the words of both Asemu and Kio, Flit stood down and put his grudge against the Vagans behind to rally both the Vagan and Federation forces to work together and save the Vagan colony, Second Moon from Vagan Gear Sid. After firing the Plasma Diver Missile into an empty space above him to catch everyone's attention, Flit used the AGE-1 Flat to lead the demolition of the columns linking La Gramis to Second Moon. The AGE-1 Flat then had its arms severed while protecting Kio's AGE-FX Gundam AGE-FX from Vagan Gear Sid.

Notes & Trivia[]

  • The AGE-1 Flat is reminiscent of the GX-9900-DV Gundam X Divider in that both units are refitted to function without the need of an external input device (AGE Device and G-Controller respectively)
  • A running gag for AGE-1 Flat is its forearms are often lost at the end in every mission.
