GN-007 Arios Gundam (GN-007アリオスガンダム) is built to emphasize maneuverability and speed. Within its transformable GN Archer form, or plane form, it has multipurpose long ranged weaponry to hit several targets at once. Its weapons are ideal for hit and run tactics or providing support fire against a wave of enemy forces. Whilst in its GN Archer form, the MS gains the ability to generate a shield around itself to safely ram through enemy obstacles. Even while combating in its non-transformed shape, the Mobile Suit is built to efficiently store its energy without running the risk of exhausting itself. Arios Gundam's built in weaponry and changeable forms makes it a versatile MS that can easily adapt to any situation.
