The PPGN-001 Gundam Amazing Exia is a custom Gunpla introduced in the anime Gundam Build Fighters. It is developed by Plavsky Particle System Engineering and piloted by Meijin Kawaguchi.

Technology & Combat Characteristics[]

Assigned the development code A5, the Gundam Amazing Exia is based on the Gundam Exia and served as Plavsky Particle System Engineering's ultimate Gunpla.[1] Due to an urgent need for Gunpla in the 7th Gunpla Battle World Tournament, the A5's development in space was halted and it was transferred back to Earth where its armaments and final adjustments were completed by Allan Adams and Meijin Kawaguchi. However, the Gundam Amazing Exia was only 80% complete when it was used in the semi-finals, and some of its system was not yet fully adjusted. The incomplete Gundam Amazing Exia is armed with an Amazing GN Sword, an Amazing GN Shield as well as the forearm-mounted GN Vulcans/Beam Sabers. It also has a Trans-Am System installed for dire situations. The completed form of Amazing Exia has an additional Amazing GN Blade stored on the left hip and a Trans-Am Booster on its back, which not only improve the suit's performance but also stores a pair of Trans-Am GN Blades.

Armaments[]

  • Amazing GN Sword
Mounted on the right forearm, the Amazing GN Sword resembles the Exia's GN Sword and Exia R2's GN Sword Kai, and can be used as a sword for close combat or transform into rifle mode for ranged combat by folding up the sword blade. Like the GN Sword Kai, the sword blade of the Amazing GN Sword is made of a clear green material. Unlike the GN Sword and GN Sword Kai, the Amazing GN Sword also has a GN Vulcan/Beam Saber mounted in the shield-like attachment at the side.
  • GN Vulcan/Beam Saber
The shield-like attachment of the Amazing GN Sword has an emitter that can function as GN Vulcan or generate a beam saber for close combat.
  • GN Vulcan/Beam Saber
Located on Amazing Exia's forearms, the pair of GN Vulcans are smaller versions of GN Beam weaponry. They have a high rate of fire, but are low in power. As a result, they are mainly used as secondary ranged weapon and are often used to engage targets in a defensive capacity. The GN Vulcans can also generate beam sabers for close combat, but they are only used as a last resort weapon.
  • Amazing GN Shield
A shield mounted on the left forearm of the Amazing Exia. It allows the unit to survive the enemy's attacks and then win, and since it is an embodiment of the Meijin's ideals, it is more important than the other weapons.[1] The blue parts on both sides of the shield can unfold, and they are the result of particle control technology.[1] Furthermore, by deploying Plavsky particles on the surface, the shield's physical strength is increased and attacks from energy weapons can be dispersed.[1] This shield was omitted when the Gunpla was converted into the PPGN-001 Gundam Exia Dark Matter, which was focused on offense and did not take into account defense.[1]
  • Amazing GN Blade
A handheld sword used by the Amazing Exia in its complete form. It is stored on the left hip when not in use. Like the Exia Dark Matter's Brinicle Blade, the Amazing GN Blade stores Plavsky particles in a low energy state, and objects that come in contact with the blade will have most of their energy taken away and become frozen as the low energy particles try to return to their normal state.[1] As this effect is based on the particles' energy state, the Amazing GN Blade can even freeze beam sabers upon contact.[1]
  • Trans-Am GN Blade
Two solid blades with high keenness, they can be detached from the Trans-Am Booster and used as handheld weapons. The Trans-Am GN Blades basically function like GN Swords and are part of the Trans-Am Booster's wings when stored.
  • Head Cannon
A beam cannon built into the bird-like head of the Trans-Am Booster.[1] The beam from this cannon can also be deployed in the form of a barrier for defense.[1]

Special Equipment & Features[]

As a last resort, the Gundam Amazing Exia can utilize the Plavsky Particles and initiate Trans-Am, improving its combat capabilities by three times for a short period of time. The downside to this system is that the unit will suffer a sharp reduction of performance after complete usage. Furthermore, using it when the model is incomplete and not fully adjusted is risky.
  • Trans-Am Booster
A back-mounted power-up unit created for the completed form of the Amazing Exia, it boosts the suit's speed as well as mobility and provides it with additional weapons in the form of two Trans-Am GN Blades. It can detach from the suit and function independently as a support unit; in this form, it has an appearance similar to that of a bird and can be used for reconnaissance, support attacks, etc.

History[]

More information of the Gundam Exia Amazing can be found on Meijin Kawaguchi's page.

Variants[]

When the Gundam Exia Dark Matter was defeated by Star Build Strike Gundam, it reverted back to the form of Gundam Amazing Exia. The Gunpla was later repaired to help fight the Mocks that were activated by the out of control large Arista crystal. Its damaged torso was replaced by one from the original Gundam Exia, while the damaged left shoulder armor was replaced by a cloak. The Amazing Exia Repair seems to be only equipped with the Amazing GN Sword and GN Vulcans and had no problem using Trans-Am.
  • Gundam Amazing Exia Repair II
After stopping the Mocks, the Gundam Amazing Exia Repair was repaired into the Gundam Amazing Exia Repair II for a final fight between Tatsuya and Reiji and Sei. The Gundam Amazing Exia Repair II sports the Kämpfer Amazing's right shoulder armor, right arm and front armor of the left leg as replacement for the parts lost during the battle with the Mocks. The Gundam Amazing Exia Repair II used the Kämpfer Amazing's Amazing Rifle and Beam Saber as its weapons.

Notes & Trivia[]

  • PPGN stands for Plavsky Particle Gundam Nucleus Mobile Suit.
  • Despite closer similarities to GN-001REII Gundam Exia Repair II (even in HGBF release, Amazing Exia is a parts variant of Exia Repair II), the suit is stated in official materials to be based on the original Gundam Exia. Fans speculated that this is because, at the time of the show's airing, the creators weren't allowed to use anything from the second season of Mobile Suit Gundam 00 and this is their way of sidestepping the restriction.
  • The first deployment of the Amazing Exia when it is only 80% complete, maybe a reference to Char Aznable's use of the MSN-02 Zeong in Mobile Suit Gundam, where it was also 80% complete at the time of the Battle of A Baoa Qu.
    • In the P-Bandai Master Grade release, Amazing Exia is also provided with the original Exia's Seven Sword arsenal (barring the original GN Sword). However, similar to the Exia Dark Matter, one of the GN Beam Saber is used as parts for Amazing GN Sword's GN Vulcan/Beam Saber.
  • The Amazing Exia has two similarities with Tatsuya Yuuki's RX-93-ν2V Hi-ν Gundam Vrabe:
    • Both have detachable backpack units that can operate independently.
    • And both have a special technique that allows them to "turn red" during combat.
