The Plasma Diver Missile is a weapon that appears in the TV anime Mobile Suit Gundam AGE.

Overview

It is a weapon of mass destruction with immense power that is normally banned. It is still in the development stage, and its power is still unknown. It is similar in shape to the Colony Destroyer used by Vagan, and is colored red. According to the novelization, it is a relic from the Colony Nation War era, and is a "colony purification weapon" that forms a plasma field and burns out certain cellular tissues (humans only) with ultrafast microwaves until not a single piece of the corpse remains.

History

A.G. 164

It was installed on the "Diva" during the operation to recapture the Luna Base. Flit Asuno would receive permission from Frederick Algreus to use it to annihilate the occupying Vagan forces along with the base itself, but the Vagans surrendered before he could launch it. During the Battle of La Gramis, Flit himself took it out and tried to destroy both the fortress and Second Moon, but Yurin's vision and Kio's persuasion made Flit change his mind, and it was launched into the empty space of the battle area, causing a huge explosion and triggering the two armies to cooperate.

Notes & Trivia

• The Plasma Diver Missile appears in the Gundam Vs. series as the burst attack of both the AGE-1G Gundam AGE-1 Glansa and the AGE-FX Gundam AGE-FX though the latter simply summons the AGE-1 Glansa to fire it. Both versions cause a large, overhead explosion that functions similarly to the nuclear missiles in the series.
