MSA-0011[Ext] Ex-S Gundam

MSA-0011[Ext] Ex-S Gundam is the assault fit of the S Gundam, assembled by Task Force Alpha's engineers aboard the Pegasus III and flown by Ryou Roots in the photo-novel Gundam Sentinel (U.C. 0088). The Ext marks it as the Extraordinary-Superior version of the same frame.

What it does in the story

Task Force Alpha first took the Ex-S into battle over Ayers City on the moon, and kept it in the line while it mopped up New Desides forces. Its heaviest fight came against the ORX-013 Gundam Mk-V, which left it badly damaged.

What makes it different

  • The chest armour hides an I-field. Extra armour over the front of the torso covers the first two of the suit's three cockpits, with an I-field generator behind it. It charges between bursts and raises an anti-beam barrier for a few seconds.
  • Two back boosters bring two more cannons. The large new thruster units on the back carry a beam cannon each, which is how the Ex-S reaches six: four at 12 MW on the back, two at 14 MW on the thighs.
  • It becomes one aircraft, not three. The S Gundam separates into G Attacker, G Bomber and G-Core. The Ex-S folds into one machine called the G-Cruiser, with propellant tanks over its shoulders that are jettisoned on arrival.
  • The knees hold beam-bouncing remote weapons. Two reflector INCOMs carry no gun: they bounce a beam from another unit into a new angle, so the suit can shoot around cover. A third INCOM with a 3.8 MW gun is in the forehead.

How big is it?

  • Overall height: 25.90 m, with a head height of 21.73 m, per Bandai's official spec
  • Weight: 69.24 t empty and 162.5 t full in mobile suit mode
  • 1/144: roughly 18 cm, which covers the original kit and the HGUC release
  • 1/100: roughly 26 cm at Master Grade

Frequently asked questions

1. What did the Ex-S add on top of the S Gundam?

Chest armour with an I-field, back thrusters carrying a cannon each, permanent waist cannons, and the single-unit G-Cruiser form.

2. Why does the Ex-S have three cockpits?

The frame keeps the Core Block System, so it is built around three cockpit blocks. Ryou Roots was in practice the only pilot, and with his skills judged poor, much of the fighting fell to ALICE.

3. Which Ex-S Gundam kits exist?

A 1/144 original from 1988, the 1/144 HGUC from 2002, and the 1/100 Master Grades from 2003 and 2019.
