The Extreme Gundam Mk-II AXE (エクストリームガンダム Mk-II アクス) is a Prototype Multi-Mode mobile suit and upgrade variant of Extreme Gundam. It is also the core unit of Extreme Gundam Dystopia Phase Mobile Armor. The unit was featured in the Mobile Suit Gundam Extreme Vs. Maxi Boost ON arcade game and the Gundam EXA VS manga. This unit is piloted by Ex Treme.
Technology & Combat Characteristics[]
Developed as the direct successor to the original Extreme Gundam, the Mk-II boasts even greater power and performance than its predecessors. While the Mk-II is able to use the Dystopia Phase as an armor pack like the Extreme, most of the machine's abilities and weapons are fixed and internalized, utilizing a set of shield-like bits to attack and defend. Its abilities seem more magical in nature, performing gestures to execute various powerful attacks. It also appears to draw from the data of General Answer by being able to manifest data copies of other machines to attack in its stead and its speed gives it the ability to leave afterimages in its wake. When at full power, the machine's head and face transforms, as its v-fin splits open and emits dark flares while its back creates six crimson wings. The AXE in its name is meant to be in opposition to Leos' Extreme Gundam, symbolizing Ex Treme's inverted, selfish hope.
Armaments[]
- Beam Sabers
- The unit's standard close combat armament, capable of slicing a mobile suit in half.
- Multi-Purpose Shield Sabers
- Extreme Gundam Mk-II AXE is armed with two multi-purpose Shield Sabers, which can transform from two-in-one shields into twin sabers. These weapons are usually stored on its backpack when not use. In shield mode, Extreme Gundam Mk-II AXE can use the two shields on its arms to block any physical attack, and it can combine them into a single shield to deflect any incoming beam attacks. As twin beam sabers, they can not only be used as close quarter combat weapons, but can generate larger beam swords capable of cutting another MS in half.
- Extreme Cannon
- Extreme Gundam Mk-II AXE can fire its beam cannon from its mouth when the faceplate is opened.
System Features[]
- Wings
- When operating at full capacity the machine is capable of generating six seraphic wings akin to the Moonlight Butterfly or Wings of the Skies. When generating these wings all of its abilities gain an upgrade: the energy balls come in groups of five instead of three, the copies it generates are much more solid in appearance and the unit itself moves with greater speed.
Special Attacks[]
- Afterimages
- The Gundam is capable of moving at speeds fast enough to leave behind afterimages to distract opponents and draw enemy fire. It also shows the ability to project hard-light copies of other Gundams to attack in its stead such as Strike Freedom firing shots from its combined beam rifles or 00 Gundam Seven Sword attacking with the GN Buster Sword.
- Energy Pillars
- With a gesture, it can create gargantuan pillars of light via the laser cannons in its hands.
- Energy Balls
- It can fire two types of energy blasts from its hands---a series of orbs that damage enemy suits or electrified ones that paralyze a suit and leave it open for a followup saber slash.
History[]
After Extreme Gundam Type Leos II Vs piloted by Leos Alloy and Sthesia Awar destroyed Extreme Gundam Dystopia Phase, Treme survived the attack and the black Extreme Gundam (the core unit) emerged from the wrecked Dystopia Phase, and Treme got away with Extreme Gundam Mk-II AXE not before he leaves his last words to Leos that a new battle begins.
