Revision as of 10:50, 8 September 2010

The RX-93-ν-2 Hi-ν Gundam (pronounced "Hi-Nu") is the completed version of the ν Gundam, which appears in the novel Mobile Suit Gundam: Beltorchika's Children. Although never seen on screen, this Mobile Suit is considered among of the most powerful mobile suits in the entire franchise and is quite popular, often seen in video game series such as the famous Super Robot Wars.The Hi-ν Gundam is often portrayed as "The Ultimate Gundam". The Hi-v Gundam will make its first animated appearance as an antagonist unit in the series Gunpla Senshi Gunpla Builders Beginning G. The Hi-Nu Gundam is also an unlockable unit in the mecha action video game Another Century's Episode: R for the Playstation 3, and can be obtained by playing through the game's story mode five times.

Technology and Combat Characteristics

Although the Hi-ν shared the same physical characteristics as the regular ν, it sported an exclusively white and light blue color scheme instead and featured more powerful thrusters around its body. The most prolific difference is its distinct back boosters and revised fin funnel system. The more basic backpack of the ν is replaced with a dual "long booster" system, with another long booster situated between them and two propellant tanks below. Three fin funnels are attached to each of the top boosters in a downward fashion, resulting in the Hi-ν appearing to have elegant, wing-like protrusions on its back. Unlike the ν Gundam the Hi-ν is able to refuel its fin funnels, giving them a near-infinite operating time.

Apart from the obvious visual differences, the Hi-ν is also armed with an improved ν Hyper Bazooka and a Hyper Mega Bazooka Launcher, an improved model of weapon used by the MSN-00100 Hyaku Shiki during the Gryps Conflict. When in use, the hyper mega bazooka launcher would be directly connected to the Ra Cailum's reactor, and was powerful enough to destroy a fragment of the asteroid base Axis. With the capabilities, parameters and attack power of the already-powerful ν Gundam greatly enhanced, the RX-93-ν-2 represented the penultimate evolution of functionality and performance in mobile suit combat at the time.

History

Even though the upgrades greatly enhance the mobile suit, this does not change the fate of Char's Counterattack, as neither the v Gundam nor the Hi-ν Gundam are able to push Axis by themselves, resulting in the same end that the movie has previously given us. Although, in the novel, we have more details about the technology and the psycommu work. One of the biggest examples is the spiritual manifestation of Amuro's son, protecting the Gundam in a similar fashion to the Z Gundam.
