Mobile Suit TURN A GUNDAM

An artifact of Earth's forgotten past, this ancient mobile suit has been encased within the stone statue known as "White Doll" for countless years, before returning to life as the Moonrace's invasion begins. Though the Turn A Gundam is more powerful than any of the Moonrace's mobile suits, young hero Loran Seack has a lot of learning to do before he can fathom its many secrets. This antique Gundam sports a streamlined, stylized appearance, a distinctive "mustache" antenna, and a variety of hidden and optional weapons.

Overall height / 20 m Standard armament /   chest multi-purpose silo x 6   beam rifle x 1   beam saber x 2   shield x 1

Mobile Suit CAPULE
Like the Turn A Gundam, the Capule is an artifact of bygone centuries, unearthed by the Militia to fight the Moonrace invaders. Unlike the Turn A, its history is known to longtime Gundam viewers; it's an amphibious mobile suit that first appeared in the Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ television series.	Overall height / 13 m

Fighter-Bomber HIPHEAVY

This ungainly-looking biplane is used by the Militia forces that attempt to fight off the Moonrace invasion, including Meshe Kun and her father. It seats two people, and is armed with bombs and a couple of machine guns.

Fighter-Bomber BULWAN

A smaller, single-seater biplane manufactured by the Rheinford family. Like the Hipheavy, it's used by valiant but foolhardy Militia pilots to battle forty-meter-high mobile suits.

Mobile Suit WADOM
The backbone of the Moonrace's Diana Counter invasion force is the Walking Dome, or WaDom for short. This terrifying mobile suit stands a towering forty meters tall, and its oversized head is packed with vulcan guns, missile launchers, and beam cannons. Its legs are covered with a self-repairing layer of "nanoskin," protecting it from ground-level attacks.	Overall height / 40 m Standard armament /   beam cannon x 1   missile x 6   24 x missile launcher x 4   anti-air vulcan gun x 2

Mobile Suit FLAT

Unlike the weapon-laden WaDom, this unarmed mobile suit was designed by the Moonrace strictly for interplanetary travel, and is able to transform into a streamlined re-entry mode. Its cockpit can accommodate three passengers, and it's a mobile suit of this type that ferried Loran, Fran and Keith to Earth two years ago.

Mobile Suit SUMO

This high-performance mobile suit is used by members of Queen Diana Sorel's royal guard; guard chief Harry Ord pilots a special golden-colored model. Like the Turn A Gundam, it's a nimble model that stands about twenty meters tall.

Mobile Suit WADD
The smallest of the mobile suits used by the Moonrace's Diana Counter invasion force, the Wadd stands only seven meters tall from its glass-domed head to the tip of its jaunty tail. It's armed with a rocket-powered polearm called a joint buster, and funky oversized manipulators built into its head and forearms allow it to hold full-sized mobile suit weapons.	Overall height / 7 m Standard armament /   joint buster x 1

Mobile Suit RIB

Part mobile suit, part construction machine, the Rib is used by the Moonrace for conventional work rather than for combat, and is accordingly operated by civilian pilots. It can travel either by walking or by rolling on its wheeled feet, and its hollow torso can house all sorts of heavy-duty equipment and cargo.

Mobile Suit EAGER
Used by the Moonrace's Koren Nander, this strange-looking mobile suit can transform into a dinosaurian high-speed running mode. It's also studded with vernier thrusters for extra manueverability.	Overall height / 20 m Standard armament /   minchi drill

Mobile Suit GOZZO
A squat artillery mobile suit used by the Moonrace for long-range bombardment.	Overall height / 16 m

Flagship SOLEIL

The flagship of the Moonrace's Diana Counter invasion force looks rather like a flying turtle with an ornate palace on its back. Like the Moonrace's Malmaiya battleship, the Soleil is armed with beam sabers and equipped with mobile suit catapults; it can also, uniquely, separate into several independent modules.

Battleship MALMAIYA

This fearsome space battleship is used by the Moonrace's Diana Counter invasion force. Packed with weapons and mobile suit catapults, it's also highly mobile and armed with close-combat weapons like beam sabers.

Ferry Boat MAGOGAME

A ferry craft carried aboard Diana Counter's flagship Soleil, and used for transporting Moonrace dignitaries. Like the Soleil itself, its shape is reminiscent of a turtle.
