The Kyrios is capable of changing into a high-speed fighter and is the only such unit the Gundam Meisters possess. As such, its capacity to accelerate far outstrips conventional mobile suits and lends a strong advantage in hit-and-run tactics. The weapons container used with its flight mode can be armed to support the unit through multiple missions. It's a multi-purpose mobile suit and capable of melee combat as well. Kyrios is greek in origin and means master or lord.

Combat Characteristics
Fighter Mode
While in an fighter configuration, Kyrios duals as a jet fighter/bomber. During missions that requires fast hit-and-run tactics the tail unit can fire missiles to either destroy incoming aerial units or specific ground targets. It also carries bombs within the "underbelly" of the tail unit. Because of Kyrios' GN Drives, the fighter is capable of carrying weight that no mobile suit can transport. Thus the tail unit can only be utilized by Kyrios. Without the "tail unit" and its weapon compliments, Kyrios resorts to dog fighting, using its GN Submachine Gun.
Mobile Suit Mode
While in mobile suit mode, Kyrios often performs high speed maneuvers of hit-and-run tactics while firing a barrage with its GN submachine gun to cause chaos on the ground. Even though Kyrios has 2 beam sabers, it often resorts its GN Shield for melee combat. The GN Shield transforms into a pincer claw to capture its targets and destroy them with a hidden blade between the claws that incinerates metal upon contact.
Armaments
GN Beam Submachine Gun
A beam rifle designed for high-speed continuous fire. The detachable grip functions as a wireless remote controller and the barrel may be independently mounted on the underside of the unit's right wrist during flight mode.
GN Beam Saber
The Kyrios is armed with two beam sabers, assumed to be comparable in functionality with that of the Exia's standard-length beam sabers. Details unknown.
GN Shield/Heat Blade
The sharp end of this custom arm-mounted shield can be transform into a pincer-claw with an electro-blade in the middle to ensure capture and destruction. The shield is used to dock with the unit's left knee-fin during variable flight mode.
Tail Unit
An optional container of roughly the same volume as the Kyrios, dockable between the suit's legs during variable flight mode. Capable of carrying 30 megaton explosives and/or functioning as a 14-tube missile battery.
GN Tail Booster
This rear addition to Kyrios gives the unit higher maneuverable speeds and capable of firing dual GN Cannons.
Trans Am System
This battle mode allows Kyrios utilize the full capabilities of its GN Drive. GN particles supercharge the mobile suit frame, granting it 3x its performance, most noticably speed. Kyrios is capable of hyper vector maneuvers and high speed combat. Afterimages would also appear, causing confusion to the ememy and a hard target to hit. Trans-Am is only temporary and after the GN Drives spent the generated particles, Kyrios returns to normal. Until the GN Drive recharges GN particles into Kyrios' overall systems, the mobile suit is at a disadvantage.
Variant
GN-003/af-G02 Gundam Kyrios Gust
- Japanese: ガンダムキュリオスガスト
- Height: 31.2 meters
Weight: 84.2 metric tons (Gust Equipment Weight: 29.4 metric tons)
Type: High Mobility Transformable Mobile Suit
Armament: GN Bazooka x 1, GN Beam Saber x 2, GN Shield x 1
Appears in the sidestory Mobile Suit Gundam 00V. Has the ability to exit the atmosphere of the Earth. It takes the form ot large jets mounted on the legs of the Kyrios. It allowed the suit to fly at extremely fast speeds,and while it wasn't able to make sharp turns it could turn fairly welll due to the equipment being mounted on the legs. they were also equipped with GN-Missile Pods and a GN-Shotgun which despite it's name could fire at a far enough distance. Despite this the unit was more suited for transport and rushing toward locations than it was for combat, and as a result it was only used a handful of times.
Notes
- Its flight mode has several similarities to Gundam Zeta's wave rider mode.
- After the battle against the UN Army ended, they captured Allelujah/Gundam Kyrios. It's unknown what happened to Gundam Kyrios once it was captured.
