The RX-93-ν-2 Hi-ν Gundam (pronounced "Hi-Nu") is an alternate interpretation of the ν Gundam, designed for 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 OVA Model Suit Gunpla Builders Beginning G.
Technology and Combat Characteristics
Although the Hi-ν shared the same physical characteristics as the regular ν, it sported an exclusively white and violet 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.
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.
Armaments
Beam Rifle
The Hi-V Gundam has a Beam Rifle, But unlike it's predecessor, it's power output rivals even that of a Beam-particle cannon. It's Fire rating is Much Stronger than the past, Magnifying it's power like the Hyper Mega-Launcher of the Zeta Gundam
Beam Saber
Two beam sabers act as Hi-v's only close range weapon.
Fin Funnels
The Hi-v Gundam possesses 6 Fin Funnels, and is designed in a downward matter to create Wing-like postures, 3 Fin Funnels on each Wing. This is also the Trump weapon of the Hi-v to it's enemies, From any numbers at all ranges, Also, it's Power rating is Dramatically increased, Comparing it's Fire power like Beam-particle Cannons. With the Fact that the Hi-v can refuel its Funnels, it is the most powerful armament of the Hi-v, it can also do the 360 Beam pyramid Shield for its defensive measures.
Vulcan Guns
Two head mounted vulcan guns that is presumably able to shread armor.
System Features
Psycoframe Cockpit
The cockpit is composed of microscopic psycommu receptors that allows a newtype pilot to control the suit with ease.
External Propellant Tank
Two ejectable propellant tanks that greatly increases the Hi-v's speed.
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.

Notes
- The Hi-ν received a new design for the release of its Master Grade model.
- The most common and referenced view of the Hi-ν Gundam is its SD (Super Deformed) form, thanks to the Super Robot Wars and SD Gundam G Generation series. Only through official sketches, information, drawings and fanarts based on these do we have a notion of its true proportions.
- The RX-93-ν-2 is highly admired by fans of the series and the directors themselves. Examples can be seen in both the games (where the Hi-ν appears directly) and shout outs within the series themselves (ZGMF-X20A Strike Freedom, CB-0000G/C Reborns Gundam/Reborns Cannon).
- Although the Hi-v Gundam is a very popular mobile suit it rarely appears in video games. Most likely because the Hi-v appeared only in the book Mobile Suit Gundam: Beltorchika's Children, it's animated design only appeared in SD form, thus giving the game creators a hard time to really "animate" it, but it is scheduled to appear in the upcoming animated series Gunpla Senshi Gunpla Builders Beginning G.
- The RX-93-v-2 Hi-v Gundam will sport a black/yellow/white variant of its paintjob reminescent of the RX-93 ν Gundam's when it appears in the upcoming animated 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.
