The XXXG-01D Gundam Deathscythe (aka Deathscythe or Gundam Zero-Two) is the second of five Gundams sent to Earth from the Space Colonies in New Mobile Report Gundam Wing. It was piloted by Duo Maxwell.

Technology & Combat Characteristics[]

The Gundam Deathscythe was the "masterpiece" of Professor G. It has outstanding stealth capabilities, with a pair of Hyper Jammers mounted on its backpack that prevented the Gundam from showing up on radar or visual sensors, rendering it invisible to most electronics. This allowed it to sneak into facilities and even right up to enemy mobile suits without being detected. With the highest speed amongst the original five Gundams, the Gundam Deathscythe's battle style revolves around approaching the enemy rapidly, striking and then retreating.

The Deathscythe's primary weapon was its namesake beam scythe. The power and reach of the scythe enabled it to destroy most single (and sometimes multiple) targets in one sweep. The Deathscythe also carries a Buster Shield on its left arm, which doubled as launchable scissor katar. Rounding out its arsenal was a set of head-mounted vulcan guns and collar-mounted machine cannons. The suddenness with which this sinister looking Gundam arrives, its invisibility on sensors, and the speed and ferocity of its attacks all strike great fear in its enemies, befitting its grim reaper visage.

Armaments[]

  • Vulcan Gun
A pair of shell-firing armament built into the head. Low offensive power, only used to restrict enemy movement, and lay down a wall of suppressive fire due to their rapid fire capability.
  • Machine Cannon
A pair of shell-firing weapon mounted on the shoulders capable of dealing significant damage to lightly armored mobile suits.
  • Beam Scythe
A powerful close combat beam weapon that can cleave through any armor and is even capable of operating underwater. The heat and powerful magnetic field it produces can begin to disintegrate the target even as the beam blade approaches. A piston at the rear of the scythe's head is capable of pivoting the beam emitter up to 90 degrees, and the beam emitted can take on other shape beside that of a scythe blade. Also, the beam scythe is stored in retracted form on the suit's rear skirt.
  • Buster Shield
In addition to its defensive capabilities, the Buster Shield can be used as a close-range weapon. A beam blade can be emitted from the buster shield after the physical blades at the front split apart. The shield itself can even be launched towards its target thanks to the thruster on its rear.
  • Cannon
A long-barreled, shell-firing cannon used only once by the Deathscythe. Held over-the-shoulder while firing, the Deathscythe used this cannon for aerial bombardment from a stolen OZ Jet Transport as it assisted the Maganac Corps in fending off the invading OZ forces, buying time for the townsfolk to escape.

Special Equipment & Features[]

  • Hyper Jammer
The nozzles protruding from the backpack scatter jamming particles which scramble the enemy's radar and cameras. Gundam Deathscythe itself is not affected by the jamming particles.
  • Self-Destruct System
The Gundam Deathscythe was built to self-destruct should the pilot choose to. A remote detonator is placed within the cockpit and if a dire situation arrives, the pilot can destroy the Mobile Suit. The system was designed to overload its power systems and has enough explosive power to destroy several city blocks. It's a last option tactic if the pilot is incapable of protecting the Mobile Suit, while not allowing it to fall into enemy hands. It also can be used as one large explosive device to eradicate large targets.

History[]

The Gundam Deathscythe was designed and constructed by the Professor G at a secret facility somewhere in the L2 Colony Cluster. One of the many who worked on the Gundam was Duo Maxwell, an orphan boy who would later go on to pilot the suit. Once Duo heard about the details of Operation Meteor, however, he became determined to destroy the suit. He was foiled in his attempts by Professor G, who refused to let him destroy such a "work of art." Instead, the professor let him 'steal' the suit and leave for Earth. Duo would use the Deathscythe to destroy only OZ and United Earth Sphere Alliance facilities.

Not long after the Gundam pilots returned to space, Duo and his Deathscythe battled several OZ-12SMS Taurus Mobile Dolls. With Duo underestimating the combat capability of the Mobile Dolls, and the Deathscythe being unsuitable for space combat as it was designed for ground warfare, he and his Gundam were no match for the enemy forces and were both captured. OZ then used the damaged Deathscythe as a target in a training mission, where Trowa Barton (who was disguising as an OZ mobile suit pilot) destroyed the Gundam with very little hesitation using a beam cannon. The wrecked Deathscythe was later rebuilt and upgraded by the five Gundam scientists into the XXXG-01D2 Gundam Deathscythe Hell.

Notes & Trivia[]

  • The initial design of the Gundam Deathscythe follows the "nationality" trend from Mobile Fighter G Gundam. Gundam Deathscythe's design was "European", featuring a scythe with a solid blade bearing dragon-like decorations, and used a large shield that resembled a coffin.
  • The cannon used by Gundam Deathscythe in episode 11 is one of the Gundam's long-range weapons in Mobile Suit Gundam Online video game. This weapon resembles the cannon used by OZ's OZ-07MS Tragos.
    • This game also mark the video game debut of Cannon as a weapon for Deathscythe.
