EGX-004 Cascade Gundam

The EGX-Cascade Gundam (aka Cascade Gundam, Cascade) is a transformable Gundam built at the Lagrange 2 research base Athena under Project Storm. It's piloted by Lieutenant Anthony Remande of the Earth System Peacekeeper Force in the Solar Era.

Technology & Combat Characteristics
Cascade serves as both a hit-and-run fighter and CQC type suit, probably the most unique feature are two wing-mounted beam blades which allows the suit to literally tear through combat zones.

Armaments

 * RFX/02 "Royal Lance" SR Beam Sabre
 * Cascade has two SR beam sabres for close combat which are stored in the shoulders when not in use.


 * RFX/03 "Royal Pike" SR Beam Blade
 * The most unique weapons of Cascade are four beam blades (functionally identical to beam sabres) mounted on the feet and wings to allow the pilot many unexpected combat techniques.


 * ASE/07 "Crossbow" SR Short Beam Rifle
 * Two standard weapons with reasonable power and accuracy to be used in MS Mode, they are stored on the suit's hips when not in use.


 * ASE/09 "Downpour" 30mm SR Beam Vulcans
 * Cascade has two sets of twin-linked beam vulcans, one on the head and one on the unit's nose in flight mode for dogfighting.


 * ASU/09 "Raging Wind" SR Beam Cannon
 * A heavy weapon used in flight mode, the beam is located under the nose section and delivers a powerful shot.


 * Shield
 * A simple aerodynamic shield which is attached to Cascade's left arm.

Notes & Trivia

 * Although it is the first viable mobile suit with a transformable frame it is not classed as a prototype due to extensive testing beforehand.
