==Technology & Combat Characteristics==
A new Earth Alliance mobile suit developed as a successor to the [[GAT-02L2 Dagger L]], the GAT-04 Windam adopted data and know-how obtained from the Dagger Series and gained extremely high general capabilities. It is more mobile than its predecessors due to the additional vernier thrusters on its legs and shoulders, and the newly designed feet allows it to walk more easily on uneven or difficult terrain. Its performance is comparable to the ZAFT's [[ZAFT Armed Keeper of Unity|ZAKU]] Series. When piloted by a skilled pilot, the Windam can prove to be a challenge even to the [[ZGMF-X10A Freedom Gundam]]. The Windam's standard armament is similar to the Dagger L's, consisting of [[CIWS]] guns, beam sabers, anti-armor penetrators, a new beam rifle and shield. The Windam can mount [[Striker Packs]] like its predecessors, but the design of its shoulder armor prevents it from mounting the Sword or Launcher Striker Packs.

[[Neo Roanoke]], commander of the 81st Independent Mobile Battalion, piloted a custom Windam with a unique purple and dark gray color scheme, operating from the aircraft carrier ''[[Spengler-class carrier|John Paul Jones]]'' and later the land aircraft carrier ''[[Hannibal-class|Bonaparte]]''. Windams were also used by the renegade Earth Alliance forces that sided with ZAFT after the existence of Logos was exposed, and they were deployed during the battles of Heaven's Base and Orb. The Windam was also used in large numbers in space in the last month of the second war, during which they were deployed without any Striker Pack or with the Doppelhorn Striker. The Windams were used to protect the emitter of the [[Requiem]] superweapon at the [[Daedalus lunar base]] as well as its relay stations. At the end of the war, a dozen Windam joined [[Terminal]] to destroy [[Requiem]].

Template:Infobox/Mobile Weapon Ver.2The GAT-04 Windam (aka Windam) is a mass-production multi-mode mobile suit featured in the anime series Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny. Neo Roanoke piloted a custom colored unit.

Technology & Combat Characteristics

A new Earth Alliance mobile suit developed as a successor to the GAT-02L2 Dagger L, the GAT-04 Windam adopted data and know-how obtained from the Dagger Series and gained extremely high general capabilities. Its development was deeply connected to the Junius Treaty signed in C.E.72 that imposed restrictions on deployable mobile suits, resulting in an increase in demand for next-generation units with higher capabilities rather than modification of existing units. Through inheriting the frame of the X100 Series units and with added thrusters on its legs and shoulders, the Windam's mobility and maneuverability within and outside the atmosphere have been enhanced. It also has newly designed feet for walking more easily on rough terrain.

The Windam's overall performance was said to be comparable to the GAT-X105 Strike Gundam's and depending on its pilot, it can even compete against the ZAFT's New Millenium Series units. In the hands of a skilled pilot like Neo Roanoke, the machine proved to be a challenge even to the ZGMF-X10A Freedom Gundam. Due to its excellent performance, the Windam was described as being one of the culminations of the Earth Alliance's mobile suits. The Windam's standard armament is similar to the Dagger L's, consisting of CIWS guns, beam sabers, anti-armor penetrators, a new beam rifle and shield. Like its predecessors, Windam can mount Striker Packs for adapting to a variety of missions, but its shoulder armor design prevents the mounting of the Sword or Launcher Striker Packs.

Armaments

  • M2M5 "Todesschrecken" 12.5mm Automatic CIWS
Two CIWS are located in the head and another two on the clavicle. They are primarily for intercepting missiles or enemies at close range. Like the Dagger L, the Windam's use of the smaller caliber 12.5mm "Todesschrecken" CIWS as compared to the older 75mm "Igelstellung" CIWS allows it to store more ammunition for the weapon.
  • ES04B Beam Saber
The beam saber serves as the Windam's standard melee weapon, and its beam blade can cut through most non beam-resistant material. The Windam is equipped with two beam sabers stored on the top of the side armor.
  • Mk315 "Stiletto" Rocket-Propelled Anti-Armor Penetrator
Identical to the ones used by Dagger L, these penetrators are dagger-type bombs, which are stored inside the suit's side armor. They can be used for close combat but are most times used as throwing weapons, which can destroy a mobile suit if they hit a critical spot.
  • M9409L Beam Rifle
The Windam's standard equipped beam weapon for ranged combat. This beam rifle is larger and more powerful than the beam carbine used by the Dagger L series.
  • A52 Offensive Shield Type E
Mounted on the left forearm and/or handheld, it is a physical shield for defending against enemy attacks and has a beam resistant coating. This model is a new type of shield and is named as such as it carries missiles. The shield's tip has sharp blades for use in close combat.
  • Mk438/B Dual Multipurpose Missile "Würger" SA10
The shield mounts two missiles on the back.

Special Equipment & Features

As with the 105 Dagger and Dagger L, the Windam can mount striker packs to adapt to different missions and environments.

History

The Windam was introduced in October CE 73, when a squad equipped with Multi Striker Packs was sent to destroy the PLANTs, shortly after declaration of the Second Alliance-PLANT War. However, they and their supporting fleet were all destroyed by ZAFT's Neutron Stampeder. Soon afterwards, Windams equipped with the Jet Striker were deployed to oppose ZAFT's "Operation Spear of Twilight", in which large numbers of mobile suits were dropped to Earth to reinforce their Carpentaria and Gibraltar bases. Windams were also employed in a failed attempt to destroy ZAFT's battleship Minerva as it left Orb territorial waters, and in most major Earth Alliance operations on the planet thereafter such as the battles of Heaven's Base and Orb.

Neo Roanoke, commander of the 81st Independent Mobile Battalion, piloted a custom Windam with a unique purple and dark gray color scheme. Windams were also used by the renegade Earth Alliance forces that sided with ZAFT after the existence of Logos was exposed. The Earth Alliance also used Windam in large numbers in space in the last month of the second war, during which they were deployed without any Striker Pack or with the Doppelhorn Striker. The Windams were used to protect the emitter of the Requiem superweapon at the Daedalus lunar base as well as its relay stations. At the end of the war, a dozen Windams allied with the Three Ships Alliance to destroy Requiem, now controlled by ZAFT.

Notes and Trivia

  • The Windam appears to be analogous to the RGM-89 Jegan as the Dagger L is to the RMS-179/RGM-79R GM II.
  • While some materials such as Gundam SEED DESTINY MS Encyclopedia state that the Windam has VPS armor and while wrecks of PS-down Windams can be spotted, it's contradicted by the fact that Windam can be damaged by all sorts of projectiles, explosions, missiles and even the LHM-BB01 Minerva's 40mm CIWS. Other sources such as Gundam Fact Files list its armor as unknown.
  • In Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Battle Destiny, the Jet Windam can only be used in the atmosphere, while the standalone Windam and the one equipped with the Multi Striker Pack are exclusive for space-use.
