Gundam Legilis

Model number: xvm-fzc
Overall height: 19.1m
Base weight: 71.2t
[Kio/Three Generations Chapter]
A Martian-built Gundam, the result of combining Vagan's EXA-DB technology with the data from the captured Gundam AGE-3. The Legilis is accordingly an incredibly high-performance machine possessing a curious mix of Earth and Martian design motifs, the most advanced X-Transmitter to date, and its own take on the Core Fighter concept. The machine's full potential has to be coaxed out by the pilot, and is indicated by the activation of the concealed Gundam-style eye sensors.

Though first piloted by Fezarl Ezelcant, his failing health later saw the Legilis handed down to his hand-picked successor Zeheart Galette. In the Gundam the veteran pilot finally found a machine capable of handling his incredible X-Rounder abilities, and it served as his personal unit during his continued battles with the Asuno family.

[EXA-LOG]
After the completion of the Legilis, its data was released to Vagan's numerous R&D companies. At least 13 Legilis variants were conceived under the "Plan Assimilation" program before the end of the war, and one of them is thought to have actually been built.

Armaments:

Beam Vulcan/Saber: Palm-mounted, capable of functioning as either a rapid-firing beam gun or as a beam saber.

Beam Vulcan: Mounted in the head.

Legilis Rifle: An advanced model of beam rifle.

Legilis Cannon: Mounted as the unit's "tail".

Beam Buster: Mounted in torso.

Legilis Bit: A countless array of remote weapons generated by the shield.

Legilis Shield: A shield mounted on the left arm, functioning primarily as a generator for the unit's Bits.

It really looks like Seraphim to me..................which would make Zeheart the eventual pilot.

So when they said they'll have one Gundam at a time, it may only be for the protagonist side, and then this rule even got circumvented by retaining the previous generation designs.

It could also be something they've just decided to change, like Asemu's age. The only thing that sticks the closest to that regard would be one "AGE System Gundam" at a time I guess.

It's a shame that they used the traditional gundam color scheme. :/
And judging by the legs, the structure seems similar to the Zeydra.

I was kinda hoping it'd look something like the middle one in this fanart:

it has a tail weapon, looks like a Zedas Sword with a different grip/pommel. The beam rifle appears to have a bayonet?

I don't like the design or its horrid colorscheme, but it might be interesting if this ultimately ties back into the Oil Painting Gundam.

It also disappoints me to see a number of people trying to justify the design by saying it would be a "morale booster" for Vagan to have a Gundam of their own. Really? If your military began modeling their units after an enemy unit that has been slaughtering your children/siblings/parents/etc for 50 years, how would you feel?

As much as I love the traditional colorscheme in general, I have to say it appears really out of place here. It would be much better if it was more monocolor, I liked it better when it was just a dark black shadow in the OP.

That's kinda true, I don't think its justifiable at this point. There also appears to be little attempt to hide it or assimiliate it into the Vagan design or style at this point (minus the Zeydra-like rifle). I mean if they were technological advantages sure but even then you'd try to hide it. Like how some from the ESF from 00 had a policy of hiding their mechs's Gundam-like design on purpose because its a symbolism they dislike.

The oil painting thing you brought out is interesting though. If this is somehow related to that Gundam, I can see the colorscheme choice out of universe be more justifiable, if it was to hammer it in somehow.

Wow, there seven people in this thread right now. 0_o

It doesn't seem to have the green bits, unless that backpack thing(i bet it's just a vernier) has Farsia style bits than it's just a High performance MS without any gimmicks. Standard beam vulcan/saber, beam rifle/bayonet, Zedas Sword and Beam Buster(green chest part) Vagan MS.

I hope it isn't the final boss

Maybe it will turn out that Ezelcant is actually blood-related to Flit.

If Ezelcant is actually from a previous generation of the Asuno family, the whole business of "the Asuno family being great at building MS" could provide an explanation on why the Vagan started the series with such advanced MS and other weapons, compared to what existed in the Earth Sphere at the time.

The Martian Settlement Plan appearing to predate the Silver Chalice Treaty answered that pretty well already, I thought. I've heard that the second novel goes a step further and has Mukured grow suspicious of the Zedas after realizing it resembles MS from the era of the Martian settlement, actually.

Plus there's the supposed hacking of the EXA-DB revealed in Tsuioku no Shido.

I still wish it was black or something but I do like the positioning of the yellow colors on this suit. I sure hope there's going to be a a decent in storyline reason for the color though, being very un-Vagan like and all.

Is it being attacked by a Danazine?

Hard to say. The Danazine is facing away from it and this seems to be a two-page spread, so it could be the AGE-FX is destroying it from the other page.

What a weird name, le-gi-lu-su. It isn't either of the typical ways to spell "regulus", but then AGE doesn't seem to care about that sort of thing. I'm going to go with my gut, but I'm definitely hoping we see it in English soon.

In a universe where everyone other Gundam in recent time has AGE in its name, it is sort of weird. I'm looking forward to seeing this thing's lineage.

Any chance that the Vagans are going to capture the AGE-1 and super remodel it in record time into this? It's probably a very distinct chance though unless the AGE-1 turns out to made out from valuble Gundamhaxium.

Given how it was shown to be "aligned" with the rest of the Vagan suits in one space the OP, I'd put my money on Zeheart more than Flit.

I think the head looks a bit big, or maybe the shoulder armor should've been larger. :/
And the tail seems to be a beam weapon rather than a sword.

*EDIT*
And not sure how reliable this is, but http://en.gundam.info/topic/7197 has it in their listing spelled as Legilis...I really hope that isn't the finalize spelling for it.

yeah, god forbid it have a weapon that has been on the majority of all vagan designs *rolleyes* I bet you don't like that it has double thumbs either.

And the head may be large to contain a cockpit... plus those shoulder binders look like they may be folded up.

Hmmmmm..... it really looks like the two of them might be working together in this promo pic. Unless the Ligilus is preparing to fire at the FX or something, maybe that's more likely.

It looks to literally be introduced as a new enemy MS; having it allied with the good guys in the accompanying picture seems pretty self-defeating even for Gundam. I don't think any of us would be that surprised if it ended up with the Diva in the end, but they probably aren't showing it off just yet.

The Japanese Wiki is claiming the model number "xvm-fzc", and the following armament: Beam Vulcan/Saber x2, Legilis Gun x1, Beam Rifle (tail) x1, Beam Buster x1, and Shield x1.

EDIT

Multiple confirmations of the model number and the name romanization:

Unless it is running SigMaxiss tech, I'm...not sure why they needed the Gundam as a prerequisite to building this. The whole song and dance being a nebulous cry of "technology!" to justify the Legilis being able to match the Gundams would be disappointing, especially since the Ghirarga and Zamdrag have already proven more than capable of doing so.

It does feel like an awkward attempt to go 'Uh oh, Vagan built a Gundam' which I think past series have done better with. Look at the likes of Epyon or Reborns. This just could have been handled better. They nailed the character drama with this arc but the tech explanation really was lacking.

I'm wondering whether or not the orange-colored beams really are SigMaxiss tech or something. The vulcan/sabers and bits were traditional Vagan yellow beams, after all. Also, it'd be kinda cool if Vagan began refitting their other MS with the orange beams.

Feels too overpowered. For a machine that looks like the Zeydra just finally admited it was trying to be a Gundam, it seems daft how unbeatable the thing is. I know they told us EXA-DB eclipses anything we've seen thus far but they haven't sold me on this at all. Again, it's still just 'Uh oh, Vagan built a Gundam!"

Why does it even have to be a Gundam anyway?

Legilis Core? Doozy of a core fighter, Vagan...

that's a pretty solid core fighter design, even a bit intimidating if the gun still works at anything like full power. The wings/thrusters probably provide pretty good speed and agility as well.

Overall it's an unusual design, but I like that the Vagan, while trying to capture the Gundam aesthetic (for morale/enemy-demoralizing purposes probably), they didn't just go and build an exact gundam (Looking at you, ZAFT), but made something with distinctly gundam touches that still uses most of the Vagan technology and base plans.
