![]() It is thought to be one of Barbatos' original equipment but it is not a complete certainty. Used by the 4th Form onwards.Īlready equipped when Barbatos was discovered on Mars. The long sword can be stored on the backpack arm when not in use. However, in the battle with Graze Ein, Mikazuki finally mastered the weapon and it is shown to be able to slice through both mobile suit armor and frame in a single attack. The long sword primarily functions as a backup melee weapon when the mace or the large special mace is available as Mikazuki finds it hard to use. Due to the high strength of the Nanolaminate Armor, the sword's slashes are ineffective, thus, Mikazuki is forced to aim for gaps within the enemy mobile suit's armor with the help of the Alaya-Vijnana System. The sword's grip is later improved to fit Barbatos' hands better and to help minimize kinetic energy loss when using the weapon. It is easy to handle due to its light weight, and shows its superiority during localized attacks. Used by the 1st Form up to the 5th Form, it was lost during the atmospheric entry battle with Gundam Kimaris and was left floating in earth's orbit.Ī mobile suit-use sword shaped like a katana, it was created in the factory within Teiwaz's base, Saisei. The Mace's handle is telescopic, and it can be stored on the backpack arm when not in use. The centre of the Mace features a pile driver mechanism that fires a 'Needle' (a large spike rod) from the tip when activated, and this is often used for piercing the enemy MS. As mobile suits use Nanolaminate Armor for protection, such striking weapons are considered to be effective. The Mace is one of them, it is a large physical weapon made from a high hardness, rare alloy that is also used in mobile suit frames. Maruba Arkay (CGS president) had considered using the Barbatos in battle and so had kept some equipment for it. It can also use weapons and armor from defeated enemies to improve its fighting capabilities. ![]() Among the same frame machines, Barbatos has been adjusted for an emphasis on versatility, it has the potential to adapt to every circumstances by exchanging its equipment. ![]() The cockpit structure is positioned in front of the reactor to take advantage of this. The burden experienced by the pilot is high as a result of the high output and maneuverability however it's mitigated by the implementation of Inertial Control due to the use of Ahab Particles generated from the reactor when a phase transition occurs inside its vacuum device. ![]() However because it is difficult to run them in parallel operation, only a total of 72 Gundam frames were ever produced. Gundam units like the Barbatos are able to achieve a high energy output because they possess two Ahab Reactors. This is later rectified by Teiwaz technicians, who not only restored the Barbatos to its original look but also returned it back to a performance close to its original. Poor maintenance over the centuries since the Calamity War has degraded the Barbatos' armor and full combat potential. A new cockpit similar to the one used by the CGS mobile workers was installed prior to its redeployment by the 3rd Group. Aside from the fact that its Ahab Reactors were still functional, this was done mainly because Barbatos' cockpit was missing when it was found. After it was recovered, Chryse Guard Security used it as a power reactor. The Gundam Barbatos is one of 72 "Gundam" frames that was produced and used in the Calamity War, roughly 300 years ago.
