- This article or section should include material from Mobile Suits of Gundam Seed Destiny
These are Mobile suits shown in the fictional Cosmic Era timeline of Gundam SEED and Gundam SEED DESTINY. Mobile suits are fictional giant robotic war machines.
"Gundam" is never used in the series to officially identify any mobile suit; it is an acronym for two of the various Mobile Operating Systems used to run mobile suits, and Kira Yamato uses it as a nickname to refer to his mobile suit. The word "Gundam" is used in marketing copy and model kit/toy packaging to designate the "hero" mobile suits, as opposed to the normal "grunt" mobile suits.
Archangel Crew/Three Ships Alliance
- GAT-X103 Buster Gundam- Retaken by the Earth Alliance defectors and still piloted by Dearka; eqipped with two powerful cannons that can be combined together to form either a long range beam sniper rifle or a highly damaging beam shotgun.
- GAT-X105 Strike Gundam/MBF-02 Strike Rouge - Destroyed by Aegis Gundam and rebuilt by Orb. Spare parts made to rebuild Strike are used to make Strike Rouge (designated MBF-02) which is piloted by Cagalli. Strike is piloted first by Kira Yamato, then Mwu La Flaga. Cagalli's Strike Rouge remains mostly intact at the end of the series's final episode. The Strike Gundam is unique because it uses power-up parts called Striker Packs to improve its functionality. Three Striker Packs are seen in the series:
- 1) Aile Striker (the most used pack), provide 2x beam sabers, additional maneuverability and atmospheric flight.
- 2) Launcher Striker, equipped with a high impulse beam cannon and additional shoulder mounted weapons, provide battleship-grade long range firepower.
- 3) Sword Striker, equipped with a MS-sized anti-ship beam saber, rocket anchor and a beam boomberang, provide powerful melee attacks.
When equipped with these packs, the Strike Gundam is referred to as (unsurprisingly) "Aile Strike", "Launcher Strike" and "Sword Strike". There are additional packs, however:
- 4) IWSP: Integrated Weapon System Pack, combine the benefits of all aforementioned packs by modifying a basic Aile Striker with two cannon and two rail cannon, as well as two 9.1m solid state anti-ship swords. Designed and built by engineers aboard Kusanagi. However, the fire control systems of the pack are too complex for Cagalli to handle as a Natural so it is not used.
- 5) Lighting Striker: Additional of two energy packs and a sniper-class railcannon gives it at least additional 150% of operating time.
- 6) Gunbarrel Striker: An MA that's an enhancement of the Moebius Zero, it can transform into a Striker pack, providing the Strike Gundam or 105 Dagger all-range attack by using its 4 wire-guided weapon pods. May also be piloted as a stand alone MA although the only pilots that can use gunbarrels are Mwu La Flaga and Morgan Chevalier.
- Freedom (ZGMF-X10A)- Built by ZAFT using data from the four G weapons they captured. It is nuclear-powered and has the N-Jammer Canceller. Freedom is severely damaged in Kira's battle with Rau Le Creuset. Armament consists of 2 beam sabers which can be joined end to end, beam rifle, high energy beam cannons in the wings, and 2 railguns on either hip.
- Justice (ZGMF-X09A)- Brother unit to Freedom, it is also nuclear-powered and has the N-Jammer Canceller. Uses the same beam rifle, beam sabers, and shield as Freedom. Main weapon consists of the Fatum backpack which allows the suit to fly in atmosphere. The backpack also contains most of the suits weapons which consist of four forward firing machine guns, 2 turret mounted machine guns, and 2 beam cannons. The packback is detachable and can be operated remotly for coordinated attacks against a target. Athrun self destructs Justice to destroy Genesis.
- Moebius Zero (TS-MA2mod.00) - Mwu La Flaga's custom mobile armor, equipped with a linear gun and 4 wire-guided "Gunbarrel" units, allowing for all-range attacks. Each Gunbarrel mounts 2 smaller machine guns.
- Mistral (MAW-01) - A standard mobile pod primarily used for colony defense and for general utility work. Cheap and easy to use.
OMNI Enforcer
OMNI mobile suits have the designation GAT (Gressorial Armament Tactical). Experimental units in the series include the modifier of "X" before the unit designation number (example: GAT-X105 Strike Gundam) The word "Gressorial" means "adapted for walking." Mobile armors have the designation TS-MA (Theatre Suppression - Mobile Armor).
OMNI's mobile suit operating system is designated "General Unilateral Neurolink Dispersive Autonomic Maneuver" (or "GUNDAM").
The Calamity, Forbidden and Raider Gundams are equipped with a new type of Phase Shift Armor called Trans-Phase Armor. TP armor varies from PS armor in that it activates only at the point and time of impact, because of this it uses less energy than PS armor, that energy can be used for heavy energy weapons; and Calamity, Forbidden and Raider are far more heavily armed than the five original Gundams.
- GAT-X131 Calamity Gundam - OMNI's new artillery prototype MS. Calamity carries the heaviest weapon loadout of any mobile suit, with 2 beam cannons on the shoulders, 2 on the shield, and a high energy beam cannon in the chest, as well as a powerful plasma sabot bazooka. Its "living CPU" is Orga Sabnak
- Sword Calamity: (GAT-X133) - Close combat version of calamity. Its backpack cannons are replaced with anti-ship swords, its shoulders have additional thrusters and mounted two beam boomberangs, and it have two rocket anchors. It retains its chest mounted beam cannon, but it is 30% weaker than that of Calamity. Three units are built, one piloted by famed ace Edward "Ed the Ripper" Harrelson.
- GAT-X252 Forbidden Gundam - OMNI's new close-combat Gundam. Forbidden carries a powerful scythe and two movable shields which use the Mirage Colloid to deflect incoming beams. It is also heavily equipped with two CIWS, two machine cannons, a rail gun and a plasma induction cannon which it uses at all ranges and has a controllable arcing beam. Its "living CPU" is Shani Andras.
- Forbidden Blue (GAT-X255) The OMNI's prototype ampibious MS. Basically, they modified it such that the TP armor and beam barrier was designed to combat pressure and regulate waterflow, allowing the MS to be used in water and travel upto 100 knots. The Plasma induction cannon was changed into a Phonon Maser； On both side of the beam barrier was mounted supersonic torpedo and sharp point claws However, the head mounted vulcan and 115mm vulcan on both forearms were kept due to the need to fight on land. In addition, there was a mechanical tail, was function as anchor, long wavelength antenna, and sonar sensors. Originally, the tail also function as a method of thrust by moving tail back and forth like a fish, allowing soundless movement but it was abandoned afterward Also, th sensors were equipped with IR sensors, nightvision, sonar, and wide-range sensors. Due to the system can malfunction easily, it was known as "Forbidden Coffin" to many pilots.
- Deep Forbidden (GAT-706S) - The mass production version of Forbidden Blue. Aside from appearance, having hardpoints, and a strengthened pressure hull, it was identical to Forbidden Blue.
- GAT-X370 Raider Gundam - OMNI's new high-speed Gundam. Raider can transform into a flight mode and carries considerable weaponry, as well as acting as a subflight unit for the heavy, groundbound Calamity Gundam.
- Raider Full Spec: (GAT-X333) The original plan for Raider, it lacked the mouth mounted cannon, as well as the shield cannon and hammer. However, its atmospehric flight capacity is much better, and a variety of weapons and fuel tanks can be mounted on its external hardpoints.
- GAT-01 Strike Dagger - Mass produced and simplified version of the Strike Gundam. Strike Dagger carries a 57mm high energy beam rifle and one beam saber. Its first deployment is the Battle of Porta Panama, where the 13th Independent Mobile Battalion prove the mobile suit's worth (until ZAFT forces deploy EMP weapons that destroy their internal circuitry and subsequently murder the Alliance defenders)
- 105 Dagger (GAT-01A1) - A second production type Strike Gundam made in fewer numbers, but concurrently with GAT-01 Strike Dagger. Aside from the appearance, and replacement of PS armor with laminated armor (good against beam attacks), 105 Dagger can also use the Striker packs, and its feet mounted 12.5mm vulcans for anti-infantry function.
- Long Dagger (GAT-01D) - Mass production version of Duel Gundam. Similar in armament, and can be equipped with a "Fortressa" armor system, a copy of ZAFT's "Assault Shroud" system, which used a conventional cannon rather than a railgun. Intended for use by either "Living CPUs" or "Combat Coordinators".
- Duel Dagger (GAT-01D1) - Identical to Long Dagger, with the exception of the darker color scheme and Natural-use OS.
- Buster Dagger (GAT/A-01E2) - Mass production version of the Buster Gundam. Main armament is identical, but the number of missiles is reduced by half, and a beam saber is stored on each forearm.
- TS-MA2 Moebius - Earth's mobile armor. Markedly inferior to the ZGMF-1017 GINN. Standard armament is a linear gun and four missiles, but these can be replaced by a single nuclear missile, as was used to destroy Junius 7 in the infamous "Bloody Valentine Incident". It takes approx. 5 Mobius MA's to equally the combat efficiency of 1 GINN.
- FX-550 Skygrasper - Support fighter capable of carrying and using Strike's weapon packs. Skygrasper unit #2 was an unlucky craft; in its brief life it was shot down twice and repaired both times before finally being destroyed.
- Cosmograsper (FXet-565) - A space-use version of the Skygrasper support fighter.
Eurasian Federation
While also in the Earth Alliance, the Eurasians do not trust the Atlantic Federation, and so, they create their own mobile suit, the Composition Armament Tactical Gundams. They are based on Acteton Industry's Gel-Finito.
- Hyperion Gundam: unit 1(CAT1-X1/3), unit 2(CAT1-X2/3), unit 3(CAT1-X3/3). Unlike the Alliance's Gundams, they do not have PS armor, but instead utlize the "Armure Lumiere" light wave shield generator, which can either simply create a lightwave shield on the forearm (which protect all attacks), or at the risk of running out of power, activate the "dome" mode, which provide 360 degrees protection. Aside from that, its armament (1xbeam SMG and 5x beam knives) also have internal batteries. It also have two over shoulder beam cannons. In addition, the beam armament is variable-speed, allowing the unit to return fire through the Armure Lumiere. Hyperion can only power the 360 degree barrier for 5 minutes.
ZAFT
ZAFT mobile suits have the following designations and meanings:
- ZGMF (Zero-Gravity Maneuver Fighter)
- AMF (Aerial Maneuver Fighter)
- TFA (Terrestrial Fighter Artillery
- TMF/A (Terrestrial Maneuver Fighter/Attacker

Orb Union
Orb's mobile suits are designated "MBF" for Main Battle Figure.
- Gundam Astray Gold Frame/Amatu(MBF-P01): Featured in the Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Astray side story series. It was designed to be able to use Earth Alliance's MS hand weapons without modifications. Later rebuilt into Gold Frame Amatu with the right arm of Blitz, providing it PS armor and Mirage Colloid cloaking ability.
- Gundam Astray Red Frame (MBF-P02): Featured in the Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Astray side story series. It was designed to be able to be piloted by Naturals. Later modifications allow it to shoot out beam orbs from its hands. It was also mounted with a sharp solid-state Katana called the Gerbera Straight, which allowed for melee combat without depleting the energy reserves.
- Gundam Astray Blue Frame/Second (MBF-P03): Featured in the Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Astray side story series. It was designed to have additional equipment packs for special missions. Later modified to Blue Frame Second, which can also mount a Tactical Backpack that transform into a Gatling Gun platform or a oversized sword. As well, it can be protect by a Full Armor Pack for working near the sun. The Full Armor pack also adds Phase Shift armor to the Blue Frame.
