RX-0 Unicorn Gundam
The series' titular mobile suit, the Unicorn is a product of the "UC Project," part of the Earth Federation Space Force's reorganization plan. Painted fully in white, the RX-0 is designed as a new mobile suit developed by the Vist Foundation. The experimental machine contains a psycoframe, a special "Laplace Program" OS that turns the enemy's psycommu weapons against them and the so-called NT-D system which triggers the Unicorn's Destroy Mode. In Destroy Mode, the Unicorn's armor plates slide out at several locations, revealing a glowing red inner frame while the head transforms into the familiar Gundam head. The machine's performance in Destroy Mode is improved, but can only last for five minutes, after which it reverts to Unicorn Mode and is drifting in space. The RX-0 is equipped with a new beam magnum gun, a hyper bazooka, a shield with an I-field barrier, two beam sabers, two beam tonfas, and a beam gatling gun. Later in the series, the RX-0 appears in a Full-Armor version, featuring multiple bazookas, gatling guns, and missile pods. The red psycoframe turns into green when the Banshee is close by.RX-0 Unicorn Banshee Gundam
Appearing in the novel's eighth volume, "Black Unicorn" and in the ending of the OVA episode "In the Depths of the Gravity Well," the Banshee is a more powerful version of the Unicorn. The most visible difference between the two is that the Banshee sports a black color scheme, a gold inner lining when in Destroy Mode, and a different head crest. Where the gold only covers the head crest in Unicorn mode, the OVA version in particular has a gold color on the faceplate and part of the chest area. The Sleeves steal the Banshee, but the Nahel Argama crew eventually recover it and assign Riddhe Marcenas as the pilot.RGZ-95 ReZEL
Dubbed the "Refined Zeta Escort Leader," the ReZEL was another attempt to mass-produce the MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam, after the failure of the RGZ-91 ReGZ. It uses the basic frame of the RGM-89 Jegan, and has a transformation system similar to the MSA-005 Methuss. It is armed with a beam rifle, a beam cannon housed inside the shield, and a pair of head vulcans. The Londo Bell taskforce aboard the Nahel Argama has at least three ReZELs, one of which is a special commander's unit piloted by Norm Basilicock.D-50C Loto
A transformable tank, the Loto appears in the series as a ground assault mobile suit deployed with the ECOAS anti-insurgency unit. It possesses optical camouflage and can carry two infantry squads. It is equipped with a beam burner, machine gun, and a choice of two 120mm cannons or a Gatling gun. The Loto is the predecessor of the RXR-44 Guntank that appeared in Gundam F91 and is also the smallest mobile suit in the series, at 12 meters.MSN-001A1 Delta Plus
The Delta Plus is a variable mobile suit developed by Anaheim Electronics and supplied to the Nahel Argama after most of its MS complement is lost in combat against the Kshatriya in the first episode of the OVA series. An offshoot of an Anaheim Electronics project that resulted in the MSN-00100 Hyaku Shiki from Z Gundam, it is designed for trans-atmospheric flight. It is equipped with a beam rifle, a beam saber, Vulcan gun and a shield. Earth Federation Space Force officer Riddhe Marcenas is the pilot of one Delta Plus assigned to the Nahel Argama.RGM-89D Jegan
First appearing in Char's Counterattack, the Jegan is the Earth Federation Space Force's most common mobile suit in service at the start of Gundam Unicorn. The D model is an upgrade of the original Jegan.- RGM-89De Jegan
- Used primarily by ECOAS, the RGM-89De Jegan is a unit specially made for them, as denoted by the lower-case "E". They are identified in the series as painted in the same brown stealth paint as the Loto tank mobile suit and also having VR-helmet-shaped additional sensors in the head.
RGM-89S Stark Jegan
First appearing in the Mobile Suit Variations model series and as an SD model kit, the Stark Jegan is depicted in Gundam Unicorn as a fire-support version of the Jegan. It is equipped with shoulder missile launchers, more armor plates, and a bazooka, in addition to the Jegan's standard weapons. One such copy is in service with the Londo Bell at the start of the series, but is destroyed in combat against Kshatriya in the first episode.- RGM-89S Prototype Stark Jegan
- Appearing in the third novel "Palau Capture Battle" and the OVA episode "Ghost of Laplace," the Prototype Stark Jegan's most notable distinction is being equipped with four standoff missiles that also double as rocket boosters. The novel version is no different than production Stark Jegans and the four missiles are smaller and attached to shoulder launchers. The OVA version carries much larger versions of the missiles that are bolted onto the mobile suit's shoulders.
RGM-96X Jesta
Anaheim Electronics' proposed successor to the Jegan, the Jesta has a dark blue color scheme reminiscent of the RGM-79Q GM Quell. Aside from standard mobile suit weapons, the Jesta is also armed with a new beam carbine rifle. The Earth Federation assigns 12 Jestas to the Nahel Argama to provide support for the Unicorn Gundam when it is finished with its Destroy Mode. It first appears in the novel "In the Depths of a Gravity Well" as the Federation mobilizes ground units to defend Dakar against the attack of the Neo-Zeon's Shamblo mobile armor.RAS-96 Ankusha
Patterned after the Titans' NRX-004 Asshimar, the Ankusha is a transformable mobile suit capable of trans-atmospheric flight. Instead of a beam rifle, the Ankusha has two beam cannons in its forearms.RGM-86R GMII/III
First appearing in ZZ Gundam, the GMII and III are clearly obsolete in terms of performance by the time of the events of Gundam Unicorn.RAG-79 Aqua GM
The only Federation mobile suit designed fully for underwater service, the Aqua GM has not been replaced due to the Federation's lack of emphasis on amphibious missions.MSA-003 Nemo
Produced by the AEUG rebel group, the Nemo was absorbed into the Earth Federation Army after the events of Z Gundam. However, a lack of replacements put Nemos as second-line combat units and only the pilot's skills keep the machine in top shape. It is one of two AEUG-produced mobile suits to enter Federation service, the other being the MSA-005K Guncannon Detector.MSA-005K Guncannon DT
Another survivor of the Gryps War, the Guncannon DT, or Detector, is a transformable fire-support mobile suit. Few units are still in Federation service by the time of the events of Gundam Unicorn.RX-160S Byalant Custom
Best known as Jerid Messa's machine in Z Gundam, one such unit appears in Gundam Unicorn in the defense of Dakar in the episode "In the Depths of a Gravity Well." Piloted by Diez Robin, the Byalant Custom is different from the original by having several thrusters for atmospheric flight and megaparticle beam guns in the arms, which were taken from a Gabthley.Neo Zeon (The Sleeves)
The Neo Zeon rebel group dubbed "The Sleeves" are called as such because their mobile suits have special arm cuffs and chest plates that denote rank depending on the intricacy of their designs. This applies to all Zeon mobile suits left over from previous wars that The Sleeves somehow acquire.NZ-666 Kshatriya
The biggest Neo-Zeon mobile suit at the start of the series (at 22.6 meters), the Kshatriya resembles the NZ-000 Quin Mantha from Gundam ZZ. It is armed with 12 mega-particle cannons, two beam sabers, and 24 funnels spread out across four binders. The Kshatriya is piloted by Marida Cruz, who is captured along with the unit after it is heavily damaged in the episode "Ghost of Laplace."MSN-06S Sinanju
Full Frontal's personal machine, the Sinanju was originally an Anaheim Electronics testbed for the Unicorn Gundam's NT-D System and psycoframe. Like its predecessor, the MSN-04 Sazabi, the Sinanju is painted in red. The Neo Zeon stole the Sinanju two years before the events of the series.AMS-129 Geara Zulu
A Neo Zeon mass-production mobile suit, the Geara Zulu is the successor to the AMS-119 Geara Doga that was introduced in Char's Counterattack. The line versions of the Geara Zulu, which are usually painted in green, are equipped with a beam machine gun (resembling the StG 44) and its grenade launcher attachment, hand grenades, rocket launcher, beam axe, and shield. Members of the Sleeves' Elite Guard pilot green Geara Zulus that are more bulkier and identifiable by their spiked shoulder plates and white trim lines. A unit assigned to Guard commander Angelo Sauper is equipped with a shield and a Langebruno cannon. The Guards' Geara Zulus are also modified for higher power output to help them keep up with the Sinanju.- AMS-129M Zee Zulu
- Built using a Geara Zulu chassis, the Zee Zulu is modified for close combat and underwater operations. It is equipped with a ballast tank, hydro jet, fins, heat knives, and heat claws on the forearms, plus an assault rifle hidden in a waterproof case. Several Zee Zulus appear in the novel/OVA episode "In the Depths of a Gravity Well" as the Shamblo mobile armor's support units in the Dakar assault and also in the Zeon Remnant assault at Torrington base.
- YAMS-132 Rozen Zulu
- Later used by Angelo Sauper after the destruction of his personal Geara Zulu, the Rozen Zulu is a Geara Zulu mixed with spare parts from the Sinanju. The mobile suit shares similarities with the AMX-103 Hamma Hamma from Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ as it carries quasi-psycommu weapons in its arms, but it is also equipped with a device that stops the enemy's operation of its own psycommu weapons.
AMS-119 Geara Doga
First appearing in Char's Counterattack, the Geara Doga is the predecessor of the Geara Zulu. A heavy-weapons version that was originally part of Char's Counterattacks Mobile Suit Variations series appears in Unicorn as well.MS-21C Dra-C
First appearing in Stardust Memory as an improvised unit, the Dra-C is a space-only mobile suit. The version appearing in Gundam Unicorn has been upgraded with a gatling gun and is painted in pink and violet.Former Axis Mobile Suits
- AMX-009 Dreissen
- A leftover from the first Neo-Zeon WarMobile Suit Gundam ZZis a TV series aired on Japanese TV from 1986–1987, was the third Gundam series, and a direct follow up to Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam. Director Yoshiyuki Tomino returned to lead the series, and he assembled a new team consisting of character designer Hiroyuki Kitazume, who had been one of Zeta...
, the Dreissens appearing in Gundam Unicorn are used in the defense of the Palau asteroid.- AMX-006 Gaza-D
- A mass-produced transformable mobile suit, the Gaza-D is an improved version of the Gaza-C, which is also in service with the Sleeves. Gaza-Ds are painted in green.
Zeon Remnants
The faction is a group of Zeon forces left behind on Earth after the One-Year War and link up with the Sleeves. Their mobile suits are reconditioned machines.AMA-X7 Shamblo
A successor to the Brawbro from the original series, the Shamblo is a massive underwater mobile armor designed for heavy assault and breakthrough strikes. It is powered by a Minovsky drive, a caterpillar and a nuclear-hover system, plus being equipped with a mega-particle cannon, reflective bits, a missile launcher, and claws that have anti-beam coating. It makes its only appearance in the novel "In the Depths of a Gravity Well" as the Neo-Zeon attack Dakar and kill as many Federation forces as they can. In the novels, a four-man crew is required because of its massive size - which in this case, is Neo-Zeon supporter Mahadi Garvey and his three children - Lonnie, Walid, and Abbas - at different stations. Lonnie Garvey is the Shamblo's only pilot in the OVA series.Zaku
- MS-05L Zaku I Sniper Type
- First appearing in the Harmony of Gundam design series by Hajime Katoki as a front-line replacement, and in later in the arcade game Bonds of the Battlefield, the Zaku I Sniper has a sniper rifle and has advanced sensors to augment its accuracy. It also carries a large backpack generator and has a brace on its right knee to assist with stability while firing. One such machine appears in the novel/OVA episode "In the Depths of a Gravity Well" as Remnant officer Yonem Kirks' personal unit.
