{"title":"ZGMF-X56S\/β Sword Impulse Gundam","description":"\u003cp\u003eZGMF-X56S\/β Sword Impulse Gundam is the ZGMF-X56S Impulse Gundam fitted with the β Sword Silhouette, from \u003cem\u003eMobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny\u003c\/em\u003e (2004, C.E. 73). ZAFT built the Impulse as the general-purpose unit of its Second Stage series, and the Sword pack makes it a close-quarters machine. Shinn Asuka takes it into combat first, and Lunamaria Hawke later inherits it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat it does in the story\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts first sortie is the Armory One incident, when Phantom Pain's Extended pilots steal three Second Stage Gundams and Shinn fights all three inside the colony until the pack's weapons are wrecked and he has to change Silhouettes. On Earth he switches to it to break the Earth Alliance fleet, and at Crete he uses it against the Orb fleet. Lunamaria flies it at Heaven's Base, where its swords are turned on Destroy Gundams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat makes it different\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe two swords lock into one.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nThe MMI-710 Excalibur anti-ship laser swords are physical blades with a laser edge, and their hilts join to make a double-bladed form. The laser can be extended past the tip to pierce Phase Shift armour, and although the swords are named for sinking ships they are mostly used on mobile suits.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe pack flies to the suit on its own.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nThe Impulse is three modules: the Core Splendor cockpit fighter, a Chest Flyer and a Leg Flyer, which dock in midair and receive their Silhouette from an automated Silhouette Flyer. That is also why it launches from the \u003cem\u003eMinerva\u003c\/em\u003e, which has the hangar and catapult for it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChanging the pack changes the armour colour.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nThe Impulse uses Variable Phase Shift armour, which shifts strength, colour and power draw according to the Silhouette fitted, though the settings are programmed beforehand. In the Sword configuration the suit turns out in red, black, grey and white rather than its usual colours.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe swords come with hover thrusters.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nThe Sword Silhouette's thrusters let the Impulse hover in Earth's atmosphere. The pack also carries two RQM60 Flash-Edge beam boomerangs, an improved version of the Justice Gundam's boomerangs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow big is it?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall height: 19.37 m, with a head height of 17.76 m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/144: roughly 13.5 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/100: roughly 19.4 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.
