ORX-013 Gundam Mk-V

ORX-013 Gundam Mk-V (ORX-013 ガンダムMk-V) was designed by Mika Akitaka as a prototype general purpose mobile suit fielded by the New Desides in the Gundam photo-novel Gundam Sentinel and Gundam WARS II: Mission ZZ. It is piloted by Brave Cod and Amuro Ray.

A prototype mobile suit developed by the Augusta Newtype Research Institute as a refined version of the MRX-009 Psyco Gundam, the Gundam Mk-V was an immensely powerful unit. The project is initially commissioned by the Titans, however, the political situation shifts in favor of the AEUG during its development process, and then is taken over by the regular Federation Forces. Three prototype units are eventually completed, but as the Gryps Conflict comes to an end the Gundam Mk-V has yet to enter combat. 

Unlike the Psyco Gundam, the Gundam Mk-V can be operated by normal pilots who have not undergone Newtype enhancement, thanks to the revolutionary Quasi-psycommu system, which also allowed the pilot to control the wire-guided Incom remote weapons stored in its backpack. 

The unit could also be fitted with a shield booster similar to the one used by the RX-121 Gundam TR-1 Hazel and its descendants, which can be attached to its back as an additional thruster. It was also very well armored, incredibly fast and maneuverable to the point of being detrimental to the health of the pilot, as Brave Cod discovered when he shattered most of his teeth during an emergency evasion maneuver.

Equipped with gimmicks of Incom and missile containers, which can be said to be the features of Gundam Mk-V. Incom is stored in a backpack, and the injection state can be reproduced with lead wires. In addition to opening and closing the hatch, the missile container itself can be moved to reproduce the unused state. In addition, the backpack is movable, reproducing the deployment of the left and right beam canons. A shield can be hung on the backpack.

The newly shaped joint structure enables bold poses despite the large Mobile Suit Unit. The arm that connects the front skirt (structure: patent pending) reproduces various scenes without hindering movement. It can be twisted and moved with 2 arms.

In addition, a water slide decal including the original marking is attached. It will be delivered in a luxurious full-color package.
