Technology & Combat Characteristics

The Atlas Gundam is a prototype ground combat mobile suit developed by the Earth Federation Forces, it is very versatile and capable of underwater combat.^[1] It is also meant for data collection and has various special features.^[1] It has a unique spherical joint system known as 'Globe Joints' which is developed based on the Principality of Zeon's amphibious mobile suits, and meant for underwater-use.^[1] In addition, its feet is also equipped with water jet thrusters which deliver great underwater mobility.^[1]

Another special feature of the Atlas Gundam is the waist mounted "Sub Legs" support equipment.^[1] They allow the Atlas Gundam to change into 'Flight Mode' for high-altitude atmospheric combat, or into 'Submarine Mode' for underwater combat.^[1] The suit is armed with a heat-resistant blade shield, a prototype railgun, two beam sabers and several assault rifles. Its cockpit block can function as an escape block and is fitted with a panoramic monitor.^[1]

Armaments

Railgun: A prototype handheld weapon exclusively for the Atlas Gundam, it is capable of destroying amphibious mobile suits in a single shot.^[1] Can be utilized as electromagnetic pulse guard.^[1]

Assault Rifle: A bullpup style firearm, it is equipped with a grenade launcher underneath its barrel.^[1] Stored in the Sub Legs' container section when not in use.^[1]

Beam Saber: The standard close range armament for most Federation mobile suits. The beam saber is a small cylindrical device held in the mobile suit's hands when operated and is powered by a rechargeable energy capacitor. It is capable of cutting through any metal that has not been treated with anti-beam coating. The Atlas Gundam is equipped with two Beam Sabers, one stored in each shoulder armor, which opens up when the saber is drawn.^[1]

Blade Shield: A large, heat-resistant shield, it is covered in small, blade like parts.^[1] The shield combines with the Sub Legs when the Atlas Gundam transitions into Submarine mode.^[1]

Special Equipment & Features

Sub Leg: Mounted on the waist via arm units for a wide range of movement, the pair of Sub Legs are versatile support equipment exclusively for use under Earth's gravity.^[1] In Flight Mode, the Sub Legs swings down and attach to the Atlas Gundam's feet, and its thrusters help the suit to ascend into the air.^[1] In Submarine Mode, the Sub Legs combine with the blade shield to create a platform for the Atlas Gundam to ride on, and the suit can cruise underwater at around 40 knots.^[1]
