Technology & Combat Characteristics
Fighter Mode
Gundam Abulhool's fighter mode resembles to a F-22 Raptor, fast and highly maneuverable. Abulhool alone has no built in weapons systems, the unit requires ordinance pods for combat. It's unclear what are its full weapons compliments, but it can at least carry missile pods (seen in the manga). The nose of its fighter form has head for visual sensors.
One feature that the Abulhool possesses that makes it unique among the Gundam units is that it has a secondary propulsion system that utilizes plasma jets instead of the standard GN vernier. This is likely a feature installed to help hide the fact that Abulhool is a Gundam when in fighter jet mode.
Mobile Suit Mode
Abulhool's melee combat capabilities are limited to only kicks and relying on it's weapon(s) packages for defense/offense. Abulhool is the only mobile unit with two heads. The chest area of Abulhool is also the nose in its fighter jet form, there the extra head can provide additional sensory data for the pilot to use.
Armaments
GN Vulcan
GN Missiles
The Abulhool is capable of being equipped with the same three-tube GN missile launcher that Kyrios uses. The missile launchers are mounted to the underside of the wings.
Special Equipment
Optical Camouflage
As with the Exia, Dynames, and likely other Gundam units the Abulhool is capable of concealing its presence through the use of Celestial Being's optical camouflage technology. When performing missions that need Exia to be hidden, the optical camouflage blends Abulhool into its surroundings hiding it from both visual sight and sensors; however the cloak isn't perfect. The cloak isn't an active cloaking field, it's only applicable when Abulhool is stationary. Should the mobile suit move while cloaked, the optical camouflage will fail to hide it.
