The Gundam Sandrock, created by
Instructor H using the resources of the
Winner family, is the fourth of the Gundams
sent to Earth in Operation Meteor. This
powerful, heavily-armored mobile suit is
perfectly suited to the desert environments
of the Winner family's Middle Eastern
homeland. Its regal appearance also suits
the noble heritage of its pilot, Quatre
Raberba Winner.
The Sandrock's primary weapons are its
massive heat shotels. Thanks to its sheer
power, the Gundam can wield one of these
huge curved swords in either hand and strike
with both simultaneously. The heat shotels
can be combined with the Gundam's backpack
and shield to form an immense pincer weapon
called the "Cross Crusher." Though
it's fearsome at close quarters, the
Sandrock's only long-range weapons are the
homing missiles in its shoulders,
supplemented by the standard head vulcans.
