1/144 Gundam Age [12] – Zedas R [Pre-Order] – Jan., 2012

Wikipedia Information:

The Zedas is a high-mobility CQC UE type in the same class as the Ovv-f Gafran. However, unlike the Gafran, it is not equipped with a Beam Rifle and is instead equipped with a removable `tail` that can function as a sword. Also, unlike the Gafran, the Zedas does not possess a `dragon-like` mode. Instead it transforms into something akin to a fighter jet, befitting its status as a high-mobility unit.

Armament

Zedas sword/Tail

Normally serves as the Zedas` `tail`. It can detached and used as a sword, while boasting of higher cutting power than a beam saber.

Beam Vulcan

Mounted on both hands. Fairly effective at damaging or destroying most human made creations. Also possess the ability to generate a beam saber. The Zedas` beam Vulcans appear to have a higher rate of fire compared to the Gafran, seemingly without loss of power.

Diffuse Beam Cannon

Mounted in torso. Generates a very wide beam ideal for eliminating difficult enemies that stand before the Zedas.

History

One Zedas was involved in the attack on Nora, but it did not make its presence known until after the colony had been hit by a number of colony destroyer-type weapons. When it did get involved, it ignored the Diva, in order to enter the colony where it proceeded to scan and destroy the military base. After the base`s destruction, the Gundam engaged the Zedas to keep its attention away from the Diva and the colony core. After a high speed battle between the two units, and after the DODS rifle had been drained of power, Flit made an intense proclamation that he would defend the colony, after which the Zedas retreated for reasons unknown.

The Zedas is again seen in the Madorna Mobile Suit Workshop, the arms dealer, Yark Dole, requested Madorna to improve its performance and in return he will pay a fortune. When Woolf Enneacle and Flit Asuno were brought before the machine to confirm it as UE the Zedas activated and attacked, destroying everything in its path. Woolf and Flit engaged the Zedas in a pair of CMS-B/67 Shaldoll mobile suits, until Flit could get the AGE-1T Gundam AGE-1 Titus. However the weaponless Shaldolls and Gundam Titus were too slow to inflict any damage on the Zedas which retreated on the orders of a bored Decil Galette.
