Sid (Shido in the English dub) is a prototype unmanned defense mobile suit introduced in the manga Mobile Suit Gundam AGE: Memories of Sid and later appeared in the Three Generations Arc of the anime Mobile Suit Gundam AGE.

Technology & Combat Characteristics[]

Sid is a large unmanned mobile suit built after the Colony Nation War to specifically guard EXA-DB and Reuna Inertia. Its overall design is reminiscent of an insect, and features a monoeye sensor like Zalam and Euba mobile suits. Its control program incorporated the personality of one of EXA-DB's creators, a scientist named Edoru Inertia. However, after EXA-DB is hacked by Fezarl Ezelcant, the program is forced to hunt down the perpetrators of the hacking, effectively turning Sid into a runaway monster that destroys anything approaching EXA-DB. Additionally, a copy of the personality data is sealed within the depths of the control program.

Despite its age, Sid easily overwhelm almost every machine created by the Earth Federation and Vagan in A.G. 164. Aside from having massive firepower, it can also disappear from sight and radar due to the Invisible Umbrella stealth system, commonly used by the Vagan forces. It also has the unique ability to repair itself and even "evolve", similar to the AGE System. This evolution relies on EXA-DB instead of battle experience and is done by small robots inside Sid's body. Sid also has formidable defensive capabilities, being able to withstand beam shots from the xvm-fzc Gundam Legilis and DODS Rifle. It is unknown if this is due to a barrier of sorts or Sid's armor.

Armaments[]

  • Beam Rifle/Beam Saber
Sid is armed with six articulated beam rifles stored in its wings. They shoot beams that can change their course of fire, making them hard to evade and also enable multi-directional attacks. The beams can also be emitted continuously for a limited amount of time, allowing them to function as makeshift whips. The power of these beams is enough to destroy any mobile suit or battleship with ease. Each beam rifle can also emit a beam saber for close combat.
  • Feather Missile
Sid mounts a number of concealed missile launchers on the top part of its wings. These feather missiles have the ability to lock on to their targets and track their movements.
  • Dark Feather

Special Equipment & Features[]

Sid can vanish and reappear in battle with the Invisible Umbrella stealth system. This technology is commonly used by the Vagan forces. Already a formidable machine, the ability to disappear and reappear for a surprise attack makes Sid a nearly peerless machine.
  • Self Repair System
Sid has the ability to reconstruct and repair any damaged parts after a battle. If the unit is destroyed, it can then be recreated by EXA-DB.

History[]

Sid was encountered by Largan Drace and Wivik Lambro inside the EXA-DB's fortress in A.G. 151, shocking both mobile suit pilots. While in a standstill, Sid attacked Bisidian forces and Largan's platoon. Asemu Asuno's team later showed up and attempted to help Largan take down Sid. Asemu's mobile suit was badly damaged in the process, and Asemu himself was wounded and lost consciousness. Wivik managed to escape from Sid and entered deeper into the asteroid, where he discovered Reuna Inertia's cold sleep pod. Back at the battlefield, Sid had almost destroyed the entire mobile suit team, until it was defeated by Wivik and his BMS-005 G-Xiphos. After the battle, its Sid Slave drones began to repair Sid using parts from the destroyed mobile suits in the area.

Sid was eventually repaired and resumed its role as guardian of EXA-DB. In A.G. 164, Zeheart Galette in his xvm-fzc Gundam Legilis encountered it during a test run and engaged it in battle. With some help from Asemu Asuno in the Gundam AGE-2 Dark Hound, Sid was defeated by Gundam Legilis after Zeheart unleashed his mobile suit's full power.[1]

Sid once again repaired itself, and later appeared in the Battle of La Gramis, where it combined with the xvg-xxx Vagan Gear to form the "Vagan Gear Sid". The combination of the two units somehow affected the mentality of the Vagan Gear's pilot, Zera Gins, causing him to attack both the Earth Federation and Vagan forces alike. Aided by Earth Federation and Vagan mobile suit forces, the rampaging Vagan Gear Sid was destroyed by Kio Asuno in the AGE-FX Gundam AGE-FX, when he unleased the maximum power of mobile suit's FX's Burst Mode. During the process, Kio managed to save Zera and destroyed the La Gramis fortress at the same time, bringing the war between Vagan and the Earth Federation Forces to a peaceful conclusion.[2]

Variants[]

Notes & Trivia[]

  • With its ability to evolve and modify its design, Sid is like a mobile, self-contained AGE System and AGE Builder.
  • A similar idea is shared by the JDG-00X Devil Gundam from the G Gundam series in that it, along with being large and formidable, would repair itself after taking enough damage and that it would "evolve" to better fit the situation. It also had the ability to change the minds of anyone it came into contact with as shown with the many mobile suits protecting it and people that the protagonist of the series and his allies ran into.
  • With a monoeye and the ability to repair itself, Sid somewhat resembles the GNC-666 Balbadoro from SD Gundam G Generation Overworld.
  • Though "Sid" is the official Anglicisation, the Romaji name Shido is used in the English dub instead.
