The XXXG-01SR2 Gundam Sandrock Custom (aka Sandrock Kai or Gundam Zero-Four) is the upgraded version of XXXG-01SR Gundam Sandrock in Mobile Suit Gundam Wing. It is piloted by Quatre Raberba Winner.

Technology & Combat Characteristics[]

An upgrade of the original Gundam Sandrock to make it capable of space combat. Verniers were added to the shoulder, back skirt, backpack, and legs to increase mobility in space. As the added backpack vernier took the place of the mounting point for the shield, the Gundam Sandrock Custom can no longer use the Cross Crusher. It also gains a beam machine gun for better mid-range combat capability in space. Like the original, the Sandrock Custom can function as a commander unit for team operations.

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.
  • Heat Shotel
These heat-radiating curved blades are the Gundam Sandrock Custom's main weapons, and with them, it can cut an enemy in half with each hand simultaneously. They can also be used as throwing weapons. When not in use, they are stored on the backpack.
  • Homing Missile
A small automatic tracking missile stored in both shoulders.
  • Shield
Designed with a snakehead motif, it features two claws as "fangs", and two shield flashers as "eyes". The shield has an anti beam coating, and the shield flashers can release a blinding flash to confuse enemies.
  • Beam Machine Gun
A compact, handheld beam firearm. While its shots are weaker than those of standard beam rifles, its rate of fire is much greater.

Special Equipment & Features[]

  • Self-Destruct System
The Gundam Sandrock 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.
A copy of Wing Gundam Zero's cockpit interface system was installed on the Gundam Sandrock Custom temporarily. Heero Yuy ordered it so that Quatre can lead the other Gundams while he would duel with Zechs. To activate the system, Quatre has to key in the code 'ZERO'. After using the system successfully, Quatre removed it upon returning to Peacemillion as he felt he can fight without it.

History[]

As the military and political strife plaguing the Earth Sphere in AC 195 would reach a decisive conclusion in space, Quatre Raberba Winner returned to space with his Sandrock to join the battle. Aboard the independent battleship Peacemillion, Gundam supporter Mike Howard and his team upgraded the mobile suit for space combat, creating the Gundam Sandrock Custom. Later, over Quatre's protests, Gundam pilot Heero Yuy temporarily installed a component of the XXXG-00W0 Wing Gundam Zero's infamous Zero System into the Sandrock Custom, allowing Quatre to coordinate the other Gundam pilots in an assault against White Fang's mobile dolls.[1] The Zero System was removed by Quatre afterwards.[2]

Notes & Trivia[]

  • Gundam Sandrock Custom appears in Gundam Vs Gundam Next Plus as an unplayable unit and assist for Deathscythe Hell and is the only Gundam out of the five main Wing ones to not be playable. Unlike most Gundams, it has a very low GP count but very poor armor in contrast to its original depiction as being the most heavily armored Gundam in the Wing series. Oddly, unlike the other unplayable units that can be accessed via cheat device, Sandrock does not have a portrait in the results section whereas the others use a silhouette of Zeta Gundam with a number representing their value digit. It was included solely for a mission where the player has to fight against all five of the Gundams.
