MG 1/100 Full Armor Unicorn Gundam 02 Banshee

RX-0 Unicorn Gundam 02 "Banshee"

Appearing in the novel's eighth volume, "Black Unicorn" and in the ending of the OVA episode "In the Depths of the Gravity Well," the Banshee is a more powerful^[2] version of the Unicorn tuned for atmospheric flight. The most visible difference between the two Unicorns is that the Banshee sports a black color scheme, a gold psycoframe when in Destroy Mode, and a more elaborate head crest. In the novel, a gold plating covers the head crest in Unicorn mode, while the OVA version has gold on the faceplate and collar area as well as the crest to emphasize a lion-style motif. The OVA Banshee sports a beam smart gun on the right forearm called the Armed Armor BS and a massive heat claw on the left forearm called the Armed Armor VN. In the novel series, the Sleeves steal the Banshee, but the Nahel Argama crew eventually recover it and assign Riddhe Marcenas as the pilot. In the OVA episode "Black Unicorn," Anaheim Electronics deploys the unit with the recently-reconditioned Cyber-Newtype Marida Cruz (Ple 12) as its pilot. The unit is shown to have strong psycoframe resonances during its clash with the Unicorn and is left behind aboard the Garuda air fortress. It is implied that Riddhe will pilot the unit in a future episode.
