Technical and Historical Notes
After successfully stealing four of the Earth Alliance's prototype Gundam mobile suits, ZAFT reverse engineers them and incorporates new technologies such as Phase Shift armor and beam sabers into their own mobile suits. With these new technologies, ZAFT also builds several Gundams of their own under the direction of leader Patrick Zala. Unlike previous Gundam designs, these new units feature a dangerous new technology: the N-Jammer Canceler. ZAFT originally develops the N-Jammer to prevent the Alliance from using nuclear weapons, but this also means that mobile suits have to be powered by short life energy batteries. By creating the N-Jammer Canceler, a mobile suit can use a nuclear fission reactor and function for a nearly unlimited amount of time even with Phase Shift armor activated. Unfortunately, the N-Jammer Canceler technology proves to be a Pandora's Box that falls into the wrong hands.
The ZGMF-X10A Freedom Gundam is one of the new Gundam designs built by ZAFT. The Freedom Gundam is equipped with a wide variety of powerful weapons for use in its HiMAT (High Mobility Aerial Tactics) mode. One of these weapons is the twin "Balaena" plasma beam cannons, which are stored in the wings and mounted over the shoulders during use. The Freedom Gundam's other main armament consists of twin hip-mounted "Xiphias" rail cannons. Other standard armaments include head vulcans, twin beam sabers and a beam rifle. The Freedom Gundam is also capable of using something far more powerful: the METEOR support system. This mobile weapons platform is designed specifically for use by the Freedom Gundam and ZGMF-X09A Justice Gundam and is stored aboard the support ship Eternal. By using the METEOR, the Freedom Gundam can deliver a blitzkrieg attack utilizing various cannons, missile launchers and two long beam swords.
The Freedom Gundam is first used in late C.E. 71 when Kira Yamato steals it with the help of Lacus Clyne. Kira uses his new suit to travel to Earth and join the battle between ZAFT and the Alliance at Alaska. Following the battle, Kira rejoins his comrades on the Archangel and travels to Orb after Murrue Ramius decides to defect from the Alliance. There, Kira fights to protect Orb from the Alliance and is later joined by his old friend and former enemy Athrun Zala piloting his new ZGMF-X09A Justice Gundam. Following the defeat of Orb, Kira returns to space and is joined by Lacus Clyne and her stolen support ship Eternal, which provides Kira with his METEOR support system. Along with Athrun, Kira uses his METEOR to save the PLANTs from destruction by nuclear missiles. At the war's end, the Freedom Gundam is heavily damaged in a battle against Rau Le Creuset's ZGMF-X13A Providence Gundam. After the war, the Freedom Gundam is secretly repaired and hidden at Orb. In late C.E. 73, the Freedom Gundam is reactivated by Kira to fight off a squad of UMF/SS0-3 ASH mobile suits used by a group of special ops Coordinators sent to assassinate Lacus. After interfering in several battles between ZAFT and the Alliance, the PLANT Supreme Council declares the Archangel and Freedom Gundam as menaces which must be destroyed. ZAFT then initiates "Operation Angel Down", and during that battle the Freedom Gundam is destroyed by Shinn Asuka's ZGMF-X56S/á Force Impulse Gundam.

This account hasn't been active in years. Too bad--this stuff is like 5 years old. I'd like to see how good he is now--I'd have a MOC-off with him. |

That was so cool, yet I was thinking a anime call Full Metal Gear. A cartoon that takes place 400 years after Exo Force. |

The Freedom is pretty good, but the only thing I have against it is that the rail cannons are too short. Anyway you could make them longer? If you can, then the Freedom would be perfect. |

I think that Freedom looks pretty much like the one in the show. The only thing I have against it is that the Balaema hip cannons are too short. Anyway you could make them longer? |

Good design, but there are two things I do not understand about the whole Dundam/mecha stuff theme: Why would anyone give war machines hands to hold the weaponry in, and why would anyone build war machines to look like Humans? Wouldn't it be more efficent to have all those weapons mounted on the arms, where they couldn't fall off, and wouldn't the machine look more intimidating if it didn't look Human? I don't know... But, congratulations of MOC of the day! |

Congrats on MOC of the day. It's okay. The wings seem a bit too bulky, and the legs are a bit skinny. The rail guns are nice, but they seen to get in the way. It's good, but it could be better. |

very nice. i admire your gundam work, but a little feedback- your gundams always look a little disappointing because they can never stand flat on thier feet, unless u just dont have a picture of it. that is my only complaint, everything else is great. |
