Kyrios (GN-003)

GN-003 Gundam Kyrios

Piloted by Allelujah Haptism, the GN-003 Kyrios is a high-mobility suit that can transform into a jet-fighter mobile armor mode. Its accelerative capacity far outstrips most mobile suits, lending a strong advantage in hit-and-run tactics. The optional weapons container used with its flight mode can be armed for support. To accommodate for flight mode, all limbs and armor are to some extent variable; the unit's hip and ankle joints are fully rotatable, and the head and forearms can be retracted. Kyrios' primary weapons are a two-barreled GN beam submachine gun (operable in both flight and mobile suit modes) and a shield that sports a pincer claw to seize enemy mobile suits as well as a retractable heat blade. Two GN Beam Sabers are also stored in the hips for melee combat. Optional armaments include a pair of 3-tube GN missile launchers mounted on the arms and one of two detachable tail units mounted onto the aft of Kyrios' flight mode; one with multiple GN missile tubes for bombing runs, the other with a pair of GN cannons and additional thrusters for increased speed. Kyrios also has the ability to use a GN-Field, which is used during episode 15 of the first season, though the barrier is not as large to that of Virtue's. During Trans-Am the unit's speed is boosted around 3 times allowing the unit moves so fast that it produces after images.
Following the end of the battle between Celestial Being and the UN Army, Allelujah ejects the GN Drive from his battered Kyrios before it comes into the hands of the UN Army. The GN Drive is recovered by Fon Spaak for Fereshte After Celestial Being negotiates for its return (along with the 0 Gundam's GN Drive, which was also in Fereshte's possession), it is now used on the Arios.
