11. ZGMF-X10A Freedom Gundam

The Freedom Gundam, belonging to ZAFT’s Gundam ZGMF-X series, utilizes technology from captured Alliance Gundams. It is armed with a ray gun and becomes extraordinarily powerful when it fires its last three weapons concurrently in ‘full burst mode.’ This mobile suit can fly in the atmosphere thanks to its wings in ‘HiMAT’ mode, and its advanced targeting system, known as the Multi Lock-On System, gives it a fearsome reputation. However, due to its intricate control system, it requires a skilled and adaptive pilot who can effectively navigate in space.

10. RX-78NT-1 Gundam “Alex”

During the One Year War, the Earth Federation constructed the RX-78NT-1 Gundam “Alex” specifically for Newtypes, with Amuro Ray as its intended pilot. This mobile suit was designed using Amuro’s combat data and featured exceptional maneuverability and rapid response to leverage a Newtype’s heightened reflexes. However, it lacked psycomm-controlled long-range weapons. Test pilot Christina MacKenzie discovered that the machine possessed immense power but could be difficult to control due to the Earth Federation’s limited understanding of Newtypes compared to the Principality of Zeon.
