Gundam Avalanche Exia (1/100 scale)

Appears in the sidestory Mobile Suit Gundam 00V. The GN-001 Gundam Exia can be equipped with the optional high-mobility equipment hs-A01 Avalanche. Though the GN particle propulsion system native to the Exia allows for relatively high speed and acceleration, the unit is actually incapable of matching or exceeding certain aircraft and spacecraft in flight. The Avalanche was developed for the purpose of eliminating this issue.

The optional equipment consists of a series of large-capacity GN particle condenser attachments, which act to store the particle production of the GN Drive for release in a single 10-minute burst of ultra-high speed. Higher output is possible, but the strain it places on the body of the pilot becomes severe. As the condensers require a full hour to charge, repeated use of the burst function is impossible. The standard Seven Swords armaments can be mounted behind the Avalanche equipment, and quickly deployed for use.

"Avalanche" is so named because its power supposedly engulf everything completely in its path, like a real avalanche. The "hs" stands for "high speed," and "A01" stands for "Avalanche Unit-01."
