GN-001 Gundam Exia

GN-001 Gundam Exia is the third-generation Gundam built by Celestial Being and piloted by Setsuna F. Seiei in Mobile Suit Gundam 00 (2007–2008, A.D. 2307). Bandai's profile gives it the development code "Seven Sword" and calls it a close-combat machine built to fight other Gundams.

What it does in the story

It closes the first season against Alejandro Corner's Alvaaron, tearing through the suit's GN Field. That fight is also where Trans-Am is first used: the system Aeolia Schenberg hid in the original GN Drive floods the frame with particles, turns the armour red and lifts output to three times normal. The same airframe comes back as Exia Repair in the second season, and as Repair II for the final battle.

What makes it different

• It was designed to fight other Gundams. Bandai states the Exia was drawn up to counter a Gundam in case a traitor appeared inside Celestial Being, which is why it is built around blades rather than a general-purpose loadout.
• Repair II cut the Seven Sword loadout to three. The rebuild reviewed the particle pathways, added new thrusters and reduced seven blades to three, with the GN Sword Kai as the main armament. The Exia's armament is a two-stage story, not one fixed list.
• Repair and Repair II are the same airframe. After the first season the suit had lost an arm, its GN Sword was broken, the severed head was reattached and the right camera eye rebuilt from Tieren junk parts. Setsuna brought it back to Celestial Being, where Ian rebuilt it as Repair II.
• Trans-Am was never an Exia-only system. Aeolia Schenberg hid it in the original GN Drive for the moment the plan went wrong. It triples output and raises defensive strength and thrust together, which is why the suit turns red mid-fight.

How big is it?

• Overall height: 18.3 m at the head, according to Bandai's official spec
• 1/144: roughly 12.7 cm
• 1/100: roughly 18.3 cm
• 1/60: roughly 30.5 cm
