Technology & Combat Characteristics
Developed after the Junius Treaty was signed, the TS-MA4F Exus was based on the TS-MA2mod.00 Moebius Zero and also incorporated data from the AQM/E-X04 Gunbarrel Striker. The Exus featured vastly improved weaponry and performance, that put it on par with the ZAFT's new ZAKU series of mobile suit. The mobile armor was armed with a 38.5mm machine gun, a quadruple missile launcher, two linear guns, and four gunbarrels. The gunbarrels are wire-guided remote weaponry, and are the unit's most powerful weapon as they allow it to engage multiple enemy units at once. Each gunbarrel featured two beam guns and two beam blades, thus they can be used in ranged and melee combat, something that the gunbarrels of the Moebius Zero and Gunbarrel Striker cannot do. Like the Moebius Zero, the Exus is usable only in space.
Armaments
- GAU-M2S 38.5mm Machine Gun
- A small rapid-firing ballistic weapon located on the body of the Exus. Mainly used for shooting down missiles and weakly armored enemies.
- M54 "Archer" Quadruple Missile Launcher
- A missile pod stored in the body of the Exus, it pops up from the top surface during use. The small missiles it fires are mainly used for restricting enemy movements.
- MAU-M3 Twin Linear Gun
- A pair of linear guns mounted underneath the body of the Exus that utilized electromagnetic forces to rapidly accelerate projectiles. The linear guns can swivel up and down, and rotate left or right as they are mounted on a movable turret.
- M16M-D4 Gunbarrel
- A wire-guided remote controlled weaponry that can only be used by pilots with high spatial awareness. The Exus is equipped with four of them, allowing it to fight multiple enemies at once or provide barrages and multi-directional flanking.
- GAU-868L2 Twin Beam Gun
- A pair of beam guns are mounted on each Gunbarrel, giving it the firepower to easily damage and destroy even Phase-Shift armored units.
- DE-RXM91C Field Edge "Horned Moon"
- Each Gunbarrel also has a pair of beam blades, granting it close combat capabilities.
History
One Exus was piloted by Neo Roanoke, commander of the Earth Alliance's 81st Independent Mobile Battalion (A.K.A Phantom Pain), an elite force sent to steal the three new Gundam prototypes developed by ZAFT. During the theft, Neo went out in this mobile armor to buy more time for his team members to escape from Armory One and destroyed several enemy units guarding the colony.[1] Later, when the new ZAFT battleship Minerva engaged the Phantom Pain forces in the Debris Belt, Neo launched in his mobile armor and fought against Rey Za Burrel in his ZAKU Phantom.[2] When Phantom Pain descended to Earth, Neo switched to a custom colored Windam.
Another Exus was piloted by Morgan Chevalier. Morgan's Exus was deployed together with Riika Sheder's Blaze ZAKU Phantom to guard a shuttle transporting Bernadette Leroux and Edward Harrelson. Both Bernadette and Edward were considered criminals and were on their way to an Alliance base on Earth. However, the shuttle was attacked by the Proto-Savior, piloted by Ile De Llorar. Morgan tried to fend off Ile's mobile suit using his mobile armor's gunbarrels, but the latter destroyed all of them. The battle ended when Ile was driven away by Jean Carry's M1 Astray with a modified Multipurpose Flight Module.[3]
