The Strike Gundam is one of the five Gundams secretly developed by the Earth Alliance Forces, and the only Gundam that was not captured by ZAFT. It has three different armor transformations giving it an advantage in various battle situations. The PS (Phase Shift) Armor protects it from almost all beam attacks, but it consumes a great deal of energy. When a Phase Shift Down occurs, the armor ceases to move and all functions stop. Features missile firing action, combo weapons pod (antiship vulcan cannon & gun launcher), hyper impulse cannon "AGNI" and assault knife "Armor Schneider".
