Technical and Historical Notes

"Trowa, we'll modify your suit for space compatibility in no time!" - Howard

During the military and political chaos occuring in AC 195, pilot Trowa Barton was forced to abandon his XXXG-01H Gundam Heavyarms mobile suit, leaving it behind on Earth when he went back out into space. Over the next few months, the abandoned Heavyarms would find its way into the care of guerilla rebel Sally Po. Sally, realizing the chaos would be concluded in space and that the infamous Gundam pilots would be at the very center of it, would later go into space herself, taking the Gundam with her to return it to its pilot. Aboard the independent battleship Peacemillion, Gundam supporter Howard would upgrade the groundpounding Heavyarms, outfitting it to fight in space.

The improvements made to the Gundam Heavyarms Kai were necessary to give the mobile suit the edge it needed to deliver its firepower against the spacebound forces of White Fang's Virgo II mobile dolls and the mobile suits of the World Nation military. A minor improvement was the addition of several vernier thrusters to give the Heavyarms stability in a zero-gee environment. However, the biggest improvement was the replacement of its single, large beam Gatling gun with a pair of smaller, double-barreled shell-firing Gatling guns, allowing the Heavyarms to split its devastating firepower up and tackle more targets at once.

(EDITOR'S NOTE: Despite our best research efforts here at the Vicinity Research Institute, there seem to be two versions of the Gundam Heavyarms Kai... the one shown here, and an alternate version. However, as best as we can tell, these two different versions are actually the SAME mobile suit! To date, we have been unable to determine if one version was upgraded into the other, or if indeed one version is the "true" version with the other version being a "ficticious" one created for a historical drama. Either way, we present them both for your pleasure.)
