Mobile Suit Gundam 00V (機動戦士ガンダム00V Kidou Senshi Gandamu 00V?) (V for Variations) is a side story of Mobile Suit Gundam 00 serialized by Hobby Japan and later compiled into a single book. Initially, it's presented to the reader as chapters of a mobile suit development book published 20 years after the main story/anime, but this was later changed to a short story format. Each chapter also includes photo guides of the featured mobile suit. It ran in Hobby Japan from December 2007 to December 2009 and was continued by Mobile Suit Gundam 00V: Battlefield Record.

Original Characters

Robert Spacey - He studies the developmental history of MS. He was initially studying political history, but after experiencing the revolution brought by Celestial Being when he was 30 years old and coincidentally seeing the Avalanche Exia in action, he switched his study to MS development history.

Deborah Galiena - A female mobile suit pilot of the UN inspection team who became an old acquaintance of Robert Spacey. She is a skilled mobile suit pilot, able to fight against Gundam Exia and survive the battle uninjured.

Amy Zimbalist - An ace pilot of the Earth Sphere Federation Army with an unconventional style of piloting solar furnace equipped mobile suits. He is worshiped as a hero known as the "Steel Cowboy", but also hated as the "Devil of Unification".

Story

The 00V features different variations of the Mobile Suit from the series, and provides the stories about them in every chapter ("volumes"). The earlier stories of the 00V were told from Robert Spacey's perspective based on his encounters with different mobile suits during the height of Celestial Being's armed interventions. The perspective of the stories later shifts to different characters, providing their side of the story behind the development and the operation of some of the mobile suits given in 00V.

Volume 01

Robert Spacey talks about the Avanche Exia, a unit that was seen relatively early during Celestial Being's armed interventions. Robert recalls witnessing the Avalanche Exia in action during a UN inspection of Union army. Avalanche Exia's appearance inspired Robert to study about the history of Mobile Suit Development.

Volume 02
Featured Mobile Suit: GN-002/DG014 Gundam Dynames Torpedo

Robert talks about the disadvantages of mobile suit's humanoid design in an underwater combat; an obstacle that Dynames Torpedo managed to sidestep.

Volume 03
Featured Mobile Suit: SVMS-01SG Union Flag Ground Package Shell Type

Showing her skills, Deborah used the Shell Flag's tough armor to her advantage in escaping the battle uninjured.

Volume 04
Featured Mobile Suit: MSJ-06II-AC Tieren Antiaircraft Cannon Type

Robert talks about the MSJ-06II Tieren and how it reflects HRL's pursuit for efficiency and effectiveness. He recalls a military exercise in 2306 AD that was interrupted by airborne enemy mobile suits and the Tieren Antiaircraft Cannon Types were deployed to quickly shoot them down. It was also the first time Robert met Deborah, whose calm reaction to the situation left a great impression on him.
