Edit Mobile Weapon: ZGMF-X10A Freedom Gundam

The '''ZGMF-X10A Freedom Gundam''' (aka '''Freedom''', '''X10A''') is a [[mobile suit]] introduced in the anime ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED]]'' and featured in the sequel series ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny]]''. It is piloted by [[Kira Yamato]]. ==Technology & Combat Characteristics== One of ZAFT's [[First Stage Series|ZGMF-X series]] of Gundam units built in C.E. 71 using technology derived from the four captured Earth Alliance's Gundams, the ZGMF-X10A Freedom Gundam has [[Phase Shift Armor]] and its armaments include CIWS, beam sabers, shield, plasma beam cannons, railguns, and a beam rifle. When the latter three weapons are used simultaneously, the Freedom is said to be in 'Full Burst Mode'. The suit has full flight capabilities in the atmosphere and the rear-mounted wings can be deployed in "High Mobility Aerial Tactics (HiMAT) Mode" to enhance its mobility in the atmosphere or in space. It also has an advanced targeting system, the Multi Lock-on System, that allows it to target and fire at multiple enemy units simultaneously. Due to its capabilities and loadout, the suit has a reputation as a specialized 'Mobile Suit Killer', but its high performance resulted in a complicated control system that demands extremely fast reaction speed and spatial awareness from its pilot.<ref name="MG New">Master Grade Freedom Gundam Ver. 2.0 (Dramatic Combination: MG x Figure-Rise Bust) model kit manual</ref> When needed, the Freedom can dock with a support unit, the [[Mobile suit Embedded Tactical Enforcer|METEOR unit]], for heavier firepower and greater speed. The Freedom has virtually unlimited combat endurance as it is equipped with a [[Neutron Jammer Canceller]] and powered by a nuclear reactor. Kira describes the suit as having over four times the power of the [[GAT-X105 Strike Gundam]].{{Ref|SEED|34}} However, what this exactly means is unclear. The Freedom is meant to operate alongside the [[ZGMF-X09A Justice Gundam]], and they are often based on the warship [[FFMH-Y101 Eternal]], which is designed specifically to maintain and support them. Even in C.E. 73, the suit is still considered by some people, such as [[Shinn Asuka]], as the most powerful mobile suit out there. Overall, it is one of the Clyne Faction's symbols of power, along with the ''[[FFMH-Y101 Eternal]]'', the ''[[Archangel-class|LCAM-01XA Archangel]]'', and the [[ZGMF-X09A Justice Gundam]]. ==Armaments== ;*MMI-GAU2 "Picus" 76mm [[CIWS]] :Mounted in the head, the pair of MMI-GAU2 "Picus" 76mm CIWS have a high rate of fire but poor penetrating power. Thus, they are mainly used to intercept incoming missiles and enemy units at close range. ;*M100 "Balaena" Plasma Beam Cannon :A pair of powerful plasma beam cannons located in the wings, they are positioned over the shoulders when in use. Amongst the suit's ranged weaponry, these beam cannons have the highest firepower and longest attack range. ;*MMI-M15 "Xiphias" Railgun :A pair of railguns that are mounted on the waist, they have an excellent rate of fire and high ammunition capacity. Folded into three parts when not in use, they can be used to deal with situations where beam weapons are ineffective, such as against underwater enemies, and are the suit's most powerful solid-based weaponry. They are developed based on the [[GAT-X102 Duel Gundam|Duel Gundam Assault Shroud]]'s "Shiva" railgun. Although the railguns have foldable grips at the sides, they can be fired without the grips being held in hands. Additionally, the last section of each railgun is equipped with a thruster that can be used for attitude controls. ;*MA-M20 "Lupus" Beam Rifle :The Freedom uses a MA-M20 "Lupus" beam rifle, which is the same model of beam rifle used by its companion unit, the [[ZGMF-X09A Justice Gundam]]. This beam rifle is stronger than the ones used by the original GAT-X series or the [[ZGMF-600 GuAIZ]] as it is powered by the suit's nuclear reactor. When not in use, it can be stored on the rear skirt armor. ;*MA-M01 "Lacerta" Beam Saber :The main close combat weapons of the Freedom are two MA-M01 "Lacerta" beam sabers, which are stored above the railguns. Since these beam sabers are powered by the suit's nuclear reactor, they have a higher output than the ones used by the original GAT-X series. The two beam sabers can be combined into a twin-edged beam saber, and this form is known as 'Ambidextrous Halberd'. Kira, however, prefers to dual wield the beam sabers, given his forte in executing high-speed melee attacks. As with the beam rifle, the Justice also used the same model of beam sabers. ;*Laminated Anti-Beam Shield :Handheld and/or mounted on the left forearm, the Freedom's shield has a laminated armor surface instead of an anti-beam coating like on the shields used by most mobile suits. ==Special Equipment & Features== ;*High Mobility Aerial Tactics (HiMAT) Mode :The Freedom's atmospheric flight configuration, in which its wings are unfolded for higher maneuverability. The Freedom is capable of flight even in its normal mode, but this form is better suited for aerial dogfighting. The HiMAT mode can also be used in space whereby it enhances the Freedom's [[Active Mass Balance Auto-Control|Active Mass Balance Auto-Control (AMBAC)]] capabilities. ;*[[Multi Lock-on System]] :As implied by its name, this unique system allows the Freedom to target multiple enemies and attack them at once. To use this system effectively, the pilot must have high spatial awareness capability, which is rare even among Coordinators. This system can also be used when the Freedom is docked with the METEOR unit. ;*Full Burst Mode :The name of the attack mode in which Freedom uses its beam rifle, railguns and plasma beam cannons all at once. This mode is often used together with the Multi Lock-on System to destroy large numbers of enemy units at once. However, despite its power, Full Burst Mode can only fire in a forward direction. ;*[[Neutron Jammer Canceller]] :As with the other four ZGMF-X series of Gundam units produced in that time period, the Freedom is equipped with a Neutron Jammer Canceller, which counters the effects of the ubiquitous Neutron Jammers and allows these suits to be powered by nuclear reactors. This gives them almost limitless combat endurance, even with Phase Shift Armor activated. ;*[[Phase Shift Armor]] :Like the other four units, the Freedom is equipped with Phase Shift Armor. Thanks to its N-Jammer Canceller and nuclear reactor, the PS armor is capable of being active for a lot longer than on non-nuclear powered suits such as the Strike. ;*Operating System : The Freedom uses the [[Mobile Suit Operation System|'''G'''eneration '''U'''nsubdued '''N'''uclear '''D'''rive '''A'''ssault '''M'''odule Complex]] operating system. ;*[[Mobile suit Embedded Tactical Enforcer|METEOR Unit]] :Like the Justice, the Freedom can dock with the powerful METEOR unit, a large mobile weapons platform with powerful thrusters and an even more powerful armament of battleship-caliber beam cannons, large beam swords, and dozens of heavy missile launchers. ==History== ===[[First Alliance-PLANT War]]=== On April 1, C.E. 71, [[ZAFT]] rolled out two new mobile suits, the ZGMF-X09A and ZGMF-X10A, named "Justice" and "Freedom" respectively by the PLANT Supreme Council Chairman, [[Patrick Zala]]. Both machines were part of a series of advanced mobile suits developed based on technology reverse-engineered from the captured [[Earth Alliance]] [[G Project]] suits.{{Ref|SEED|34}} On May 5, C.E. 71, the ZGMF-X10A Freedom Gundam was [[Theft of the Freedom Gundam|stolen]] by [[Kira Yamato]] with the help of [[Lacus Clyne]].{{Ref|SEED|34}} Kira rushed to [[Earth (Cosmic Era)|Earth]] with the stolen suit and came to the rescue of the ''[[Archangel-class|LCAM-01XA Archangel]]'' during the [[Operation Spitbreak|Battle of JOSH-A]].{{Ref|SEED|35}} Along with the ''Archangel'', Kira defected to the neutral [[Orb Union]]{{Ref|SEED|37}} and used the Freedom to defend the country against an Earth Alliance attack during the [[Battle of Orb]].{{Ref|SEED|38}} During the battle, he reunited with his old friend [[Athrun Zala]] who piloted the [[ZGMF-X09A Justice Gundam]], and they soon joined forces to fight against the Earth Alliance's invasion forces, which included three new Gundams, the [[GAT-X131 Calamity Gundam]], the [[GAT-X252 Forbidden Gundam]], and the [[GAT-X370 Raider Gundam]].{{Ref|SEED|39}} Afterwards, Kira and the Freedom returned to space along with the ''Archangel'' and the Orb battleship ''[[Izumo-class|Kusanagi]]'',{{Ref|SEED|40}}{{Ref|SEED|41}} and met up with the support vessel ''[[FFMH-Y101 Eternal]]'', which was stolen by Lacus Clyne and her [[Clyne Faction]] supporters. This stolen ship was captained by former ZAFT commander [[Andrew Waltfeld]], and carried two [[Mobile suit Embedded Tactical Enforcer|METEOR]] support units. The three warships then joined forces, forming the [[Three Ships Alliance]], with the goal of stopping the worsening conflict between ZAFT and the Earth Alliance.{{Ref|SEED|42}} During the [[Battle of Mendel]], the Freedom and Justice once again fought the Calamity, Forbidden and Raider.{{Ref|SEED|43}} After the three machines temporarily retreated to their mothership, Kira flew the Freedom into the [[Mendel]] colony, where he rescued his comrade [[Mu La Flaga]] in the [[GAT-X105+AQM/E-X03 Launcher Strike Gundam]] by swiftly disabling [[Rau Le Creuset]]'s [[ZGMF-600 GuAIZ]].{{Ref|SEED|44}} At the battle's climax, Kira attempted to retrieve a [[Life Pod|lifepod]] containing [[Flay Allster]], who had in her possession data on ZAFT's [[Neutron Jammer Canceller]]. However, the Freedom was damaged by the Forbidden and Raider, resulting in the Calamity recovering Flay's lifepod. The Freedom was then rescued by Justice.{{Ref|SEED|46}} During the [[Second Battle of Jachin Due]], Kira and Athrun used their METEOR units' firepower to thwart an Earth Alliance [[Nuclear Missile (Cosmic Era)|nuclear missile]] attack on the [[PLANT Colonies]].{{Ref|SEED|49}} Afterward, Kira battled against [[Rau Le Creuset]] and his [[ZGMF-X13A Providence Gundam]]. The Freedom was quickly overpowered by the Providence's [[DRAGOON system]], and lost its METEOR unit to the Providence's beam barrage. In the midst of their battle, an escape shuttle from the [[Archangel-class]] ''Dominion'' containing Flay flew close by. Once Kira realized Flay was in the shuttle, he rushed over and shielded it from Providence's beam rifle shot. However, a DRAGOON flew above the shuttle and shot it down. Kira then launched a fierce attack, eliminating the Providence's DRAGOON pods one by one, and also destroyed both its arms. During the process, Freedom lost its head, left arm and leg to the Providence's attacks, but this did not stop Kira. Ultimately, Kira impaled the Providence's cockpit with the combined beam sabers, killing Rau. The Providence was then vaporized by the last shot of the [[GENESIS]], which also glanced the Freedom, damaging its Phase Shift Armor. Kira and the wrecked Freedom were later rescued by his sister, [[Cagalli Yula Athha]], in her [[MBF-02+AQM/E-X01 Aile Strike Rouge]].{{Ref|SEED|50}} ===[[Second Alliance-PLANT War]]=== After the war, the Freedom was repaired and hidden in a secret underground base in Orb, where it laid dormant for more than two years. It returned to action during an [[Assassination Attempt of Lacus Clyne|assassination attempt]] on Lacus, when Kira launched in the Freedom and swiftly defeated the assassins' [[UMF/SSO-3 ASH]]s.{{Ref|GSD|13}} Afterwards, Kira used the Freedom to "[[Kidnapping of Orb's Chief Representative|kidnap]]" Cagalli from her wedding with [[Yuna Roma Seiran]] and brought her aboard the ''Archangel'' before the ship left Orb. Later, Kira used the Freedom in two failed attempts to stop the conflict between Orb and ZAFT forces during the [[Battle of Dardanelles]]{{Ref|GSD|23}} and the [[Battle of Crete]].{{Ref|GSD|28}} During the [[Battle of Berlin]], the Freedom fought and destroyed the Alliance's [[GFAS-X1 Destroy Gundam]], resulting in the death of its pilot, [[Stella Loussier]].{{Ref|GSD|32}} Shortly thereafter, ZAFT launched ''[[Operation Angel Down]]'', an assault to destroy to the troublesome ''Archangel''. During the ensuring battle, Kira and the Freedom were forced into a fierce duel against [[Shinn Asuka]] and the [[ZGMF-X56S/α Force Impulse Gundam]]. As Shinn had studied Kira and Freedom's fighting style beforehand, he was able to fight on a level playing field with his less powerful Force Impulse. Meanwhile, Kira was unable to concentrate as he was worried about the ''Archangel'', which was fighting off the other ZAFT forces. Using his mobile suit's unique ability to discard its body parts and replaced them with new ones, Shinn was able to catch Kira off guard and destroyed the Freedom's left wings. At the duel's climax, the Freedom was stabbed in the abdomen by the Force Impulse using the Excalibur anti-ship laser sword. However, Kira managed to shut off the Freedom's nuclear reactor before losing consciousness, successfully preventing a nuclear explosion.{{Ref|GSD|34}} Cagalli later rescued him and the remaining torso of the Freedom from the waters using her [[MBF-02 Strike Rouge]].{{Ref|GSD|35}} ===Legacy=== ZAFT developed an advanced version of the Freedom, called the [[ZGMF-X20A Strike Freedom Gundam]], which never progressed past the prototype stage due to technical limitations and the [[Junius Treaty]] signed after the first war. In C.E. 73, either the incomplete unit or its plans (it is unknown which) was stolen by the independent faction [[Terminal]], who then modified the suit into a personal unit for Kira, who piloted it after the Freedom was destroyed.{{Ref|GSD|39}} ==Gallery== ===Lineart=== <gallery hideaddbutton="true"> Freedom Gundam Preliminary Design.jpg|Front zgmf-x-a-cockpit 2.jpg|Cockpit zgmf-x10a-ma-m20.jpg|MA-M20 "Lupus" Beam Rifle zgmf-x10a-mmi-m15.jpg|MMI-M15 "Xiphias" Railgun zgmf-x10a-shield.jpg|Laminated Anti-beam Shield </gallery> ===Anime=== ====[[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED]]==== <gallery hideaddbutton="true"> Freedom Gundam (PSD) in Hangar 01 (SEED HD Ep34).png|In hangar ([[Seen and Unseen]], HD Remaster) Freedom Gundam (PSD) Head 01 (SEED HD Ep34).png|Head close up (Seen and Unseen, HD Remaster) Freedom Activated Ep32.png|Eyes glowing upon activation (Seen and Unseen, HD Remaster) Freedom Gundam Souring Through Space 01 (SEED HD Ep34).png|Speeding to Earth (Seen and Unseen, HD Remaster) Freedom headcrest X10A DIECI.png|Close up on head crest's "X10A DIECI" ([[The Descending Sword]], HD Remaster) Freedom Archangel.JPG|In HiMAT Mode (The Descending Sword, HD Remaster) SEED HiMAT Full Burst.jpg|In HiMAT Full Burst Mode (The Descending Sword, HD Remaster) Freedom Gundam Full-Burst Firing 02 (SEED HD Ep35).png|Firing Full Burst Mode and MMI-GAU2 "Picus" 76mm CIWS (The Descending Sword, HD Remaster) Freedom RailGunExhaust.JPG|Venting after Full Burst Mode (The Descending Sword, HD Remaster) Freedom Gundam Rear 01 (SEED HD Ep38).png|Rear (The Descending Sword, HD Remaster) Freedom Gundam vs Duel Gundam 01 (SEED HD Ep35).png|Vs.

''Dieci'' means ''ten'' in Italian. In-universe, it is a tribute to the creator of the first mobile suit, the Italian coordinator Gian Carlo Maniani.<ref>Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Official File/Mechanics Vol.4 (2003), pg. 8</ref> *According to some related books, the mock battle between Strike and Freedom proves that there was hardly any difference in power between the two mobile suits, and that the "power" in Kira's statement is not about Freedom's instantaneous output. There are also other claims such as the one in the GUNDAM SEED & ASTRAY MODELING MANUAL Vol.2 (Page 14, released on 2003 by Media Works) which noted that Kira's statement meant that Freedom Gundam has four times the performance of Strike Gundam. **Kira's line itself was likely simply a reference to [[Amuro Ray]]'s statement that the [[RX-78-2 Gundam]] has "more than five times the energy gain" when he first boarded it. *According to Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Official File/Mechanics Vol.4, Page 11, the cockpit of the Freedom and other mobile suits in the ZGMF-X series has a switch for [[:wikipedia:Electronic countermeasure|Electronic countermeasure]]s (ECM)/[[:wikipedia:Electronic counter-countermeasure|Electronic counter-countermeasure]]s (ECCM) devices, but it did not state what these devices are or whether they are common mobile suit equipment. **However, shortly before the [[Battle of Orbit]], Captain [[Hoffman]] ordered the deployment of [[Neutron Jammer]]s.{{Ref|SEED|13}} Given that Neutron Jammers are known for disrupting radio waves, it was possible that those ECM/ECCM devices are based on Neutron Jammer technologies. *In ''Mobile Suit Gundm SEED ORIGINAL SOUND TRACK III'', released on September 21, 2003, there is a track named "Freedom Self-Destructs". Considering some other track titles are based on events from episodes that haven't aired when it was released ("Dominion Sinks", "Flay's Death"), Freedom Gundam's self-destruction in the final episodes may have been planned at some point. *For the HD Remaster of ''Mobile Suit Gundam SEED'', Freedom's Full Burst Mode is reanimated, particularly to show the railguns firing in bursts rather than as one single shot, and also to show exhaust smoke after firing. In addition, Freedom's CIWS were also fired during Full Burst Mode. Its catapult launch sequence is also reanimated to remove the wings' double flapping during take off. ==Appearances== {{Appearances}} ==References== <gallery hideaddbutton="true"> Freedom Gundam File 01 (Official Gundam Fact File 099-01).jpg|Freedom Gundam File 01 (Official Gundam Fact File, Issue 99, Pg 1) Freedom Gundam File 02 (Official Gundam Fact File 099-03).jpg|Freedom Gundam File 02 (Official Gundam Fact File, Issue 99, Pg 3) Freedom Gundam File 03 (Official Gundam Fact File 099-04).jpg|Freedom Gundam File 03 (Official Gundam Fact File, Issue 99, Pg 4) Freedom Gundam File 04 (Official Gundam Fact File 104-27).jpg|Freedom Gundam File 04 (Official Gundam Fact File, Issue 104, Pg 27) Freedom Gundam File 05 (Official Gundam Fact File 104-28).jpg|Freedom Gundam File 05 (Official Gundam Fact File, Issue 104, Pg 28) Freedom Gundam File 06 (Gundam Perfect Files 018-03).jpg|Freedom Gundam File 06 (Gundam Perfect Files, Issue 18, Pg 3) Freedom Gundam File 07 (Gundam Perfect Files 018-04).jpg|Freedom Gundam File 07 (Gundam Perfect Files, Issue 18, Pg 4) </gallery> <references /> ==External links== {{Project|SEED}} {{GSeed-Mecha}} {{AstrayR-Mecha}} {{GSD-Mecha}} {{Delta-Mecha}} [[ja:ZGMF-X10A フリーダムガンダム]] [[Category:Three Ships Alliance Mobile Weapons]] [[Category:Archangel Corps Mobile Weapons]] [[Category:Clyne Faction Mobile Weapons]] [[Category:ZAFT Mobile Weapons]]
