. A Mobile Armor developed by Crossbone Vanguard using data from remains of the NZ-333 Alpha Azieru. It's loaded the remote-controlled killing machines "Bugs" to execute plan to wipe out all humans on earth. With the death of Carozzo “Iron Mask” Ronah, the Ebirhu Doga was never used.
Mobile Suit version of MAN-08 Elmeth. Has Energy-capacitator powered Funnels to replace "Bits" weapon drones with built-in generator to reduce its size.
An original Mobile Suit created for the video game SD Gundam G-Generation F, the Phoenix Gundam is a mysterious machine.
Although nominally a Gundam, it seems to have few common features with other notable Gundams. However, like most Gundams, it has superior ranged and close combat abilities, as well as the ability to perform an all-range attack using its feather funnels. It also features a nano-skin coating that allows damage to be quickly repaired. The Phoenix Gundam can also transform into a bird-like Mobile Armor form; in this state, it can ignite itself and perform the body crash attack "Burning Fire".
Little is known about the Phoenix Gundam's origins. Officially, it is believed to come from beyond the solar system, like the Concept-X 6-1-2 Turn X. This, along with its nano-skin system, have lead many to believe that Phoenix Gundam is somehow related to the Turn-X and its "brother", the SYSTEM ∀-99 ∀ Gundam. Some speculate that the Phoenix Gundam is meant to combine aspects of all the Gundam universes; indeed, some even believe that the Phoenix is the true essence of the Gundam, given physical form. However, all this remains speculation, and the Phoenix Gundam's true origins remain a mystery.
Main Mobile Suit of SD Gundam G Generation Monoeye Gundams. A high performance Mobile Suit developed to protect the Tera-S'ono. Armed with I-field launcher, a combination of long beam rifle and megacannon with built-in I-field barrier generator. It was stolen from Gryps space colony by Sigfreid Wedner, the protagonist of game. As the story progresses, Sigfreid will gain the ID command to activate the Offense Mode which makes it into a much more powerful unit for three turns.
Mainly piloted by Aine Lewi, the main antagonist. Has feature known as System Fafnir to enhance the newtype ability of its pilot.

- The G Generation's most distinctive feature is the fact that the machines are always depicted in a super deformed fashion. This may be to prevent problems with the different proportions used in various Gundam series, but a larger reason may be the fact that Sunrise has been known to charge a heavy licensing fee for full-sized versions of their mecha to appear in video games, a problem which also plagues the Super Robot WarsSuper Robot Warsis a series of tactical role-playing video games produced by Banpresto, which is now a Japanese division of Namco Bandai.

G Generation Portable for the PSP was a similar exception, featuring a scenario system similar to the PSX games. - Original Characters - In addition to the familiar cast of Gundam characters, G Generation games often feature brand-new characters that represent the player's contributions to the game. Most of the time, the original characters have no plot impact on the game (though it is worth noting that Leeroy Gilliam, a major figure in the novelization of Mobile Suit GundamMobile Suit Gundamis a televised anime series, created by Sunrise.

An original Mobile Suit created for the video game SD Gundam G-Generation F, the Phoenix Gundam is a mysterious machine.
Although nominally a Gundam, it seems to have few common features with other notable Gundams. However, like most Gundams, it has superior ranged and close combat abilities, as well as the ability to perform an all-range attack using its feather funnels. It also features a nano-skin coating that allows damage to be quickly repaired. The Phoenix Gundam can also transform into a bird-like Mobile Armor form; in this state, it can ignite itself and perform the body crash attack "Burning Fire".
Little is known about the Phoenix Gundam's origins. Officially, it is believed to come from beyond the solar system, like the Concept-X 6-1-2 Turn X. This, along with its nano-skin system, have lead many to believe that Phoenix Gundam is somehow related to the Turn-X and its "brother", the SYSTEM ∀-99 ∀ Gundam. Some speculate that the Phoenix Gundam is meant to combine aspects of all the Gundam universes; indeed, some even believe that the Phoenix is the true essence of the Gundam, given physical form. However, all this remains speculation, and the Phoenix Gundam's true origins remain a mystery.
