CB-001 1 Gundam (aka 1 Gundam, pronounced "Ai/Eye" Gundam) is the half-prototype design of the CB-0000G/C Reborns Gundam, piloted by Beside Pain in Mobile Suit Gundam 00P and later his counterpart Leif Recitativo in Mobile Suit Gundam 00I. It was mentioned in Mobile Suit Gundam 00V: Battlefield Record that Ribbons Almark possessed a unit for himself as well.
Technology & Combat Characteristics
After Celestial Being (CB) completed tests on their first prototype Gundam, GN-000 0 Gundam, CB utilized the technical and combat data to further develop 2nd generation prototypes, the GNY Gundam series. However, unknown to CB, one of their own had alternative ideas to their cause. Gundam Meister Ribbons Almark defected from CB and stole the technical data on 0 Gundam to build his own Gundams to realize his personal vision of humanity under his control, through Innovators; 1 Gundam was a product of that ambition.
Unlike CB's GNY series, which was built to develop and refine experimental MS weapons and technologies, 1 Gundam was built as a successor to GN-000 0 Gundam; it specifically created as a general purpose MS for an Innovade pilot. It came with the standard equipment such as a beam rifle, beam saber and shield, until it was later upgraded to the CB-001.5 1.5 Gundam. 1 Gundam was built in secret and only to be used on special assignments in conjunction with the GN Cannon. Just as the CBY-077 GN Cannon is the forerunner to the Reborns Cannon, the 1 Gundam is the antecedent of CB-0000G/C/T Reborns Gundam Origin's Gundam mode.

System Features
- GN Feathers
- In chapter eight of 00I, the 1 Gundam displays the ability to use GN feathers similar to the GN-000 0 Gundam. Since 1 Gundam has a similar GN propulsion system as the GN-001 Gundam Exia it is unknown if it's GN Feather System possesses the same qualities as that of the 0 Gundam. However since 1 Gundam is the successor to the 0 Gundam it would be likely that the systems are the same. In chapter 8 of 00I, 1 Gundam's GN Feathers amplified the defensive ability of 1 Gundam's shield in order to protect it from Momento Mori's blast.

Trivia
- Initially, 1 Gundam's model number was "CBY-001", however, some recent sources such as the Reborns Origin profile and the new development chart have named it to "CB-001" for unknown reasons. Some recent sources such as HG 1.5 Gundam, HG Raphael Gundam and the 00I website still state it as CBY-001 however so it remains an alternate.
- It has been stated that the beam sabers on the 1 Gundam are either replicas or the very same beam sabers on Gundam Rasiel.
