The XXXG-01H2 Gundam Heavyarms Custom (aka Heavyarms Kai or Gundam Zero-Three) is the upgraded form of the XXG-01H Gundam Heavyarms introduced in the OVA and movie New Mobile Report Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz. It is piloted by a young man operating under the pseudonym Trowa Barton.

Technology & Combat Characteristics[]

An upgrade of the Heavyarms to make it worthy for space combat. Besides a new dark blue-green color scheme, the Heavyarms Custom also sports two more chest gatling guns, and uses a pair of double gatling guns as its main weapon. In the Glory of the Losers manga, thrusters are added to the central part of the backpack and the rear skirt armor.

Armaments[]

  • Vulcan Gun
A pair of shell-firing armament built into the head. Low offensive power, only used to restrict enemy movement, and lay down a wall of suppressive fire due to their rapid fire capability.
  • Machine Cannon
Mounted on the clavicle section of the Heavyarms, the pair of machine cannons have stronger firepower than the vulcan guns.
  • Chest Gatling Gun
Two pairs of gatling guns mounted in both sides of the chest, they are hidden by openable armor covers. They can be fired together with the machine cannons and vulcan guns to restrict enemy units from closing in.
  • Homing Missile
Forty-four homing missiles are stored in the front skirts and leg missile pods, they are fired towards an enemy/enemies with a lock on.
  • Micro Missile
The Heavyarms Custom has fifty-two micro missiles and they are stored in the shoulders and the side skirts.
  • Double Gatling Gun
A pair of handheld gatling guns with two sets of barrels are the main armament of the Heavyarms Custom. Unlike the original Heavyarms, the optional shield is eliminated and the gatling guns seem to fire physical rounds, but there are claims that they can also fire beams. When not in use, they are mounted on the backpack's foldable arms.
  • Laser Gun
A small gun that fires a highly directional laser, it is capable of penetrating the electromagnetic barrier generated by the Virgo's Planet Defensors. It is stored on the rear waist armor when not in use.[1] It is only used in the Glory of the Losers manga.

Special Equipment & Features[]

  • Self-Destruct System
The Gundam Heavyarms Custom was built to self-destruct should the pilot choose to. A remote detonator is placed within the cockpit and if a dire situation arrives, the pilot can destroy the Mobile Suit. The system was designed to overload its power systems and has enough explosive power to destroy several city blocks. It's a last option tactic if the pilot is incapable of protecting the Mobile Suit, while not allowing it to fall into enemy hands. It also can be used as one large explosive device to eradicate large targets.
  • Clown Mask
A decorative half-face mask in the style of a pierrot, it completely covers the right side of the face when equipped. It is white with a blue four-pointed star over the eye and a highly-exaggerated red smile, modeled after the half-mask worn by Trowa Barton during his performances as a circus clown.

History[]

In A.C. 195, the Heavyarms Custom was used by Trowa Barton, while teamed up with the other four Gundam pilots, against the White Fang during the Eve Wars. The summer of the next year, Trowa piloted the Gundam Heavyarms Custom against Perfect Peace People forces. First in a battle against OZ-04MD Virgo IIIs on the Moon, then at the mobile doll production facility, Vulkanus.

In the December of A.C. 196, Trowa sent the Gundam Heavyarms Custom over to Quatre Raberba Winner to be destroyed by sending them into the Sun on the Vulkanus. When he came to realize that the Barton Foundation was planning to carry out the original Operation Meteor, he infiltrated the Mariemaia Army and was made to pilot a MMS-01 Serpent. Meanwhile, Quatre succeeded in a dangerous mission to catch up to the Vulkanus and returned it to Earth. Trowa switched back to the Heavyarms Custom for the battle in Brussels. During the battle, the Heavyarms Custom disabled many Serpents without killing the pilots using specialized, non-explosive rounds. However, it eventually ran out of ammo due to the large amount of enemies.

After the battle, the Gundam Heavyarms Custom was seen with Gundam Deathscythe Hell, Gundam Sandrock Custom as the pilots self-detonated them, destroying the Gundams once and for all.

Notes & Trivia[]

  • Heavyarms Custom is often referred to as the "Heavyarms Kai", "Kai" is a Japanese Kanji character "改", meaning "modified" in English.
  • There are conflicting accounts about what the Heavyarms Custom EW version's Double Gatling Guns fire. Some sources such as the manual of the HG 1/100 model kit suggested they fire beams like the original version, while others such as the New Mobile Report Gundam Wing MS Encyclopedia book claimed that they fire physical projectiles, and the weapon is portrayed as ejecting empty shell casings in the OVA and film.
  • The clown mask worn by the EW version of the Heavyarms Custom is also seen in games such as SRW and SD Gundam G Generation.
