ZGMF-X42S Destiny Gundam
In the anime series Gundam SEED Destiny, the ZGMF-X42S Destiny Gundam is ZAFT's newest and most advanced mobile suit. The Destiny Gundam is a general-purpose mobile suit designed to act as ZAFT's "trump card", and handle any combat situation single-handedly. As such, its power eclipses that of the Second Stage Series models like the ZGMF-X56S Impulse. Its armament includes the standard high energy beam rifle and head-mounted CIWS, a folded beam sword mounted behind the right shoulder, a folded high energy, long-range beam cannon behind the left shoulder, and a pair of shoulder-mounted beam boomerangs that can also extend to become beam sabers. In addition, it has some unusual weaponry: palm-mounted beam cannons and a pair of beam-shield generators on its wrists. Suprisingly, it also has a small mobile shield which can expand to use its beam-deflecting lightwave barrier similar to the Impulse.
The Destiny Gundam is intended to be piloted by young ZAFT ace Shinn Asuka, stationed on the battleship Minerva.
