The seventh and last of the Gundams, the
Epyon was created by former OZ leader Treize
Khushrenada, based on data from the
Tallgeese and the previous Gundams. In
keeping with Treize's martial philosophy,
the Epyon was designed for close-range
combat, omitting all long-range armament.
Though initially given to Gundam pilot Heero
Yuy, the Epyon ultimately finds its way into
the hands of Treize's old friend Zechs
Merquise.
The Epyon's beam sword, connected via
cable to the Gundam's generator, is the most
powerful melee weapon ever used by a mobile
suit. Its only other weapon is a
multi-segmented, heat-radiating whip called
a heat rod, which is attached to its shield.
The Epyon can also transform into a mobile
armor mode for high-speed flight both in
space and in Earth's atmosphere. And last,
but certainly not least, it's equipped with
a mind-bending Zero System similar to that
of the Wing Gundam Zero.
