The xvg-xxx Vagan Gear (ヴェイガンギア Veigan Gia?) is Vagan's ultimate mobile suit introduced in the final episode of Mobile Suit Gundam AGE anime and in the Mobile Suit Gundam AGE: Universe Accel and Cosmic Drive games. It is piloted by Zera Gins.
Technology & Combat Characteristics[]
The xvg-xxx Vagan Gear is the oldest of Vagan mobile suits built with Colony Nation War-era technology.[1] Its design influence the development of later Vagan mobile suit.[1] At a towering height of 31m, the Vagan Gear dwarfs the other Vagan mobile suits, and is more comparable to Sid in height. The Vagan Gear is armed with a "Delta Gazer" beam cannon built into 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[]

- Beam Rifle/Beam Saber
- After the 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
- After the Vagan Gear combined with Sid to form Vagan Gear Sid, it has access to a number of concealed missile launchers stored on the top part of Sid's wings. These feather missiles can lock on to their targets and track their movements.

Notes & Trivia[]
- The Vagan Gear is the only Vagan mobile suit to have a torso-mounted cockpit instead of the standard head-mounted cockpit.
- In Mobile Suit Gundam AGE Universe Accel/Cosmic Drive, 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 Sid appears in Mobile Suit Gundam Extreme Vs. Maxi Boost as one of the new boss units. Upon its destruction, Sid will immediately detach from the Vagan Gear and flee before the machine explodes.
- In Maxi Boost ON however, Sid will stay attached and explode with it upon defeat.
