Technology & Combat Characteristics[]
The Σ Gundam is a transformable mobile suit developed under Anaheim Electronics's Project Zeta, serving as the "bridge" between MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam and MSZ-010 ΖΖ Gundam. However its development was put on pause and reprises after the project of the MSZ-011 S Gundam, it went to the codename Kappa (κ) Gundam. The Σ Gundam was conceived as the first mobile suit to transform into two separate components and utilize more of its movable frame. The two components are composed of an A-Part and B-Part, both of which are controlled by two pilots at the same time. The A-Part is equipped with a Psycommu System, allowing it to have better response and a powerful Minovsky Craft Propulsion System.
The Σ Gundam is also armed with powerful weaponry. Since its made for Newtypes in mind, it is equipped with several Psycommu Missiles and a pair of Psycommu Hands. The unit is also equipped with a High Mega Cannon on its head and four beam cannons.
