The RX-160G Byarlant Isolde is a variant of the RX-160 Byarlant introduced in the Novel/ONA series Mobile Suit Gundam Twilight Axis and is piloted by Walter Fermo.

Technology & Combat Characteristics

A customized version of RX-160 Byarlant, the Byarlant Isolde belonged to the mysterious armed group "Birnam" which attacked Earth Federation's special corp "Mastema" near the former asteroid base Axis in U.C. 0096. The Byarlant Isolde retained the three-finger claw arms of the original Byarlant and also features two new back-mounted Propellant Tank/Thruster Units similar to the ones used by RX-160S Byarlant Custom.

Armaments

• Mega Particle Gun

A rapid-fire, ranged armament installed in the Byarlant Isolde's palms.

• Beam Saber

Similar to Byarlant, the Byarlant Isolde has a pair of beam sabers stored in the upper arms (near the elbow joints), which can be pulled out during battle. The beam sabers' handles have a triangular cross section to match the mobile suit's clawed hands.

Special Equipment & Features

• Propellant Tank/Thruster Units

The propellant tank/thruster unit is a combination of large fuel tank with rocket-propelled thruster units attached at the end. It provides additional fuel for longer deployment times and greatly enhances Byarlant Isolde's acceleration and agility. A pair are equipped on both sides of Byarlant Isolde's back thrusters.
