HG X-EX01 GUNDAM CALIBARN
From "Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch of Mercury", comes the Gundam Calibarn 1/144 scale model kit from Bandai! The HG Calibarn is joining the Witch from Mercury lineup with amazing color gradient effects on the chest and V-Fin, in addition to the full range of expansion and deployment gimmicks in the broom and shield.
The X-EX01 Gundam Calibarn (X-EX01 ガンダムキャリバーン X-EX01 Gandamu Kyaribān?) is a mobile suit introduced in Mobile Suit Gundam the Witch from Mercury. It is used by Suletta Mercury near the finale of Season 2.
The Vanadis Institute developed countless prototype units in addition to the Lfrith before the establishment of GUND FORMAT technology. Of these units, the Calibarn took the most strikingly different direction from that of the Lfrith. Unlike the Lfrith, which could be operated with minimal impact on the human body within a certain Permet Score, Calibarn prioritized mobile suit performance to seek the utmost limits of GUND-ARM capabilities and adopted extreme measures that did not guarantee the pilot's life protection at all. After losing to the Lfrith in the development competition, it is said that all records of the Calibarn were destroyed, and it was made off-limits and sealed away. Although it aimed to become the mainstream of GUND-ARMS, the Calibarn could very well have been considered the most cursed of all Gundams from the public sentiments.
Armaments
Beam Vulcan
Two firing ports are built in the forehead. These are weak rapid firing beam weapons used for checking enemy movement, damaging equipment, etc.
Escutcheon
A multi-purpose platform made up of 11 Bit Staves that had been equipped to the Aerial. It functions not only as a shield but also as a GUND-BIT, a next-generation remote-controlled swarm weapon system.
Bit Stave
Each bit (Bit Stave) can be detached to be operated as a mobile turret with built-in Beam Cannons or as a shield.
Variable Rod Rifle
A long portable firearm and the main weapon of the Calibarn. On its rear-end sits a propulsion unit made of four Quadra Thrusters, which can also be used to propel the Calibarn itself.
Beam Saber
A weapon for close combat that generates a beam blade, two are stored on top of the backpack.
