The Deathscythe, the second of the five
Gundams dispatched to Earth as part of
Operation Meteor, was created by the
scavenger organization known as the Sweeper
Group. It was developed by the Sweeper
Group's Professor G, an expert in stealth
technology. Thanks to the hyper jammers on
its backpack, the Gundam Deathscythe can
scramble enemy radar and visual sensors,
remaining invisible to its foes until the
moment it strikes them down. Its high speed
makes this Gundam ideal for such hit-and-run
tactics, and pilot Duo Maxwell exploits this
capability to the hilt.
The Deathscythe's primary weapon is its
lethal beam scythe, supplemented by the
standard vulcans and machine cannons. The
Gundam's buster shield also functions as a
weapon, equipped with sharp pincers and a
central beam blade; the shield can even be
launched at enemy mobile suits, to deliver
its killing blow at a distance.
