The xvg-xxx Vagan Gear (ヴェイガンギア Veigan Gia?) is Vagan's ultimate mobile suit appearing in the final episode of Mobile Suit Gundam AGE and in Mobile Suit Gundam AGE: Universe Accel and Cosmic Drive. It is piloted by Zera Gins.
Technology & Combat Characteristics
The Vagan Gear is the oldest of Vagan mobile suits built with Colony Nation Wars-era technology.[1] Its design influence the development of later Vagan MS.[1] At a towering height of 31m, it dwarfs even the largest of all Vagan mobile suits, and is more comparable to Sid in height. The Vagan Gear is armed with a "Delta Gazer" beam cannon on its tail and two heat blades on its forearms. The Vagan Gear can combine with Sid, allowing it to use all of the latter's weapons, stealth system and self-repairing capabilities. This combined form is known as 'Vagan Gear Sid'.
Armaments
- Delta Gazer
- A powerful beam cannon built into the Vagan Gear's flexible tail.
- Heat Blade
- A hook-shaped blade mounted on each forearms, they can be heated and able to slice apart Vagan and Federation mobile suits with one swing.
- Beam Rifle/Beam Saber
- After Vagan Gear combined with Sid to form Vagan Gear Sid, it has access to the six articulated beam rifles stored on Sid's 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
- The Vagan Gear Sid mounts sixteen missile launchers on the top part of its wings. These feather missiles can lock on to their targets and track their movements. The feather missiles can only be used after the formation of Vagan Gear Sid.
- Dark Feather
System Features

Notes & Trivia
- In the Gundam AGE video game, the Vagan Gear is seen shooting its "Delta Gazer" from its chest instead of the tail. Video games are consider non-canon, therefore this does not reflect the official anime representation.
- The Vagan Gear is the only Vagan mobile suit to have a torso-mounted cockpit instead of the standard head-mounted cockpit.
- The Vagan Gear appears in Mobile Suit Gundam Extreme Vs. Maxi Boost as one of the new boss units, with Sid already combined with it. Upon its destruction, Sid will immediately detach from the Vagan Gear and flee before the machine explodes.
