{"title":"ZGMF-X56S Impulse Gundam","description":"\u003cp\u003eZGMF-X56S Impulse Gundam is the general-purpose prototype of ZAFT's Second Stage Series in \u003cem\u003eMobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny\u003c\/em\u003e (2004, C.E. 73). Where its four siblings were each built for one environment, the Impulse covers every role by changing Silhouette packs, and it is the only one of the five with a separable cockpit fighter. Shinn Asuka takes it into the war first; Lunamaria Hawke later flies the same airframe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat it does in the story\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe suit was designed together with the battleship \u003cem\u003eMinerva\u003c\/em\u003e, which carries a catapult built for it alone, and it launches in three parts that join in midair. Shinn uses it to destroy more than a dozen enemy warships and many mobile suits, including the stolen Abyss Gundam, and to beat the Freedom by swapping damaged modules during the fight. Once he moves to the Destiny, the Impulse goes to Lunamaria for Operation Ragnarök.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat makes it different\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe suit is three aircraft that become one.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nThe cockpit rides in the YFX-M56S Core Splendor, a small transformable flyer, while the chest and legs travel separately as the Chest Flyer and Leg Flyer. They dock after launch, so a wrecked section can be replaced on its own instead of costing the whole machine.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSilhouettes change the role, not the airframe.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nThe back hardpoints take the α Force, β Sword and γ Blast packs, each with its own weapons, and each one reconfigures the Variable Phase Shift armour to match. One airframe in several roles also kept ZAFT inside the Junius Treaty's limits on mobile suit numbers, and an unmanned Silhouette Flyer can bring a pack out during battle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIts own weapons are deliberately few.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nWithout a pack the Impulse has two 20mm CIWS in the chest, a pair of folding anti-armour knives in the side skirts, a shield and a beam rifle. Everything that makes it a bomber, a swordsman or a dogfighter lives in the pack.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe rifle comes from the Freedom's family.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nThe MA-BAR72 is an enhanced version of the rifle carried by the Freedom and the Justice, built on the Saviour's weapon as the base.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow big is it?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall height: 17.76 m with a full weight of 63.54 t, per Bandai's published spec\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/144: roughly 12.3 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/100: roughly 17.8 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy buy from P-Rex Hobby\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eP-Rex Hobby is a \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/vendors\"\u003eBandai Recommended Hobby Store\u003c\/a\u003e with 20,000+ customers served and \u003cspan data-prex-live=\"five-star-reviews\"\u003e1,800+\u003c\/span\u003e five-star reviews.
