Whereas the OZ-13MSX2 Mercurius was designed as a defensive mobile suit, the Vayeate was designed primarily as an offensive unit. Both suits were designed to operate together, with one covering the other when in battle. The Vayeate, built from the same basic frame as its Mercurius twin, was armed only with a large beam cannon.

HG 1/144 Mercurius, Premium Bandai |
The Mercurius was designed with defensive strategy in mind and was meant to operate alongside its offensive-based sibling unit, the OZ-13MSX1 Vayeate, with one covering the other when in battle. Its signature armament is a set of ten planet defensors, which are small disc-shaped objects that projects an energy shield to protect the Mercurius or an allied mobile suit from enemy's attack. It is also armed with a small beam gun and a large shield with integrated Beam Saber called "Crash Shield".

Beam Cannon for Vayeate's main armament is supported with a large backpack unit connected to its beam cannon using a transparent plastic energy cable. The unit is also equipped with a telescopic deployment that can be moved for realistic feel. A support arm is also attached to it for better stability and to support its structure when in standby mode.
Planet Defensor for Mercurius' main equipment is a 5-pair funnel bit unit that are attached to its backpack when not in use, and can be separated as and form a strong energy shield to protect itself from almost any attack even from Wing Gundam Zero's twin buster rifles.
