Robot Damashii: Gundam Age-1 Sparrow

The AGE-1S Gundam AGE-1 Spallow is a high-speed variant of the AGE-1 Gundam AGE-1 Normal from the anime series Mobile Suit Gundam AGE. It is piloted by Flit Asuno.

A high speed variant of the AGE-1 Gundam AGE-1 Normal. At 33.4 tons, it is almost 25% lighter than the AGE-1 Normal. The Spallow was developed to counter the UE's high speed Xvv-xc Zedas. Its speed is at least as great as that of the Zedas, and its "Shigiru Blade" short sword has even greater cutting power than the Zedas sword, cutting through its blade with barely any effort. 

The Gundam AGE-1 Normal is the prized possession of the Asuno Family which incorporates a special OS to counter the Unknown Enemy or UE. Since its development, the mobile suit is designed as a Legendary savior, holder of the mobile suit name "Gundam".
Developed through the data retrieved from the AGE device passed down from the Asuno family, the mobile suit has become pivotal in the fight against the Unknown Enemy (UE). Design wise, the mobile suit is intended to be versatile on equipping several arm and leg packs for combat. However, the unit's power lies within its OS, the AGE System, which allows the Mobile Suit the OS to gather data and come up with equipment or wear designs to counter a specific enemy. Its "spoiler-like" device at its back is actually a broad antenna that serves to collect data for the AGE System to analyze. Its basic weaponry includes such as beam sabers/daggers, a shield and a new weapon called DODS Rifle that was developed by the AGE System during one of its earlier battles against the UE. Using "wear parts" created by the AGE System through the AGE Builder, the Gundam can also can also take two other forms: the faster Spallow form and the heavier Titus form, in which the arms, legs, and outer front skirt armor of the Gundam AGE-1 are changed. Unlike other mass produced mobile suits of the Earth Federation Forces in AG 114, the armor of the Gundam is strong enough to withstand attacks from a Gafran's beam vulcan and its diffuse beam cannon with no apparent damage.
AGE-1 uses independently developed plasma control technology and has a higher output than Earth Federation Forces’s Genoace. The core component of the AGE System is located in the MS’s chest.By linking up with the antenna on the backpack and the varieties of sensors in the head unit, the core component is able to collect and analyze data during combat and can transmit a limited amount of data. As AGE-1 is an experimental unit, and after taking into consideration maintenance and transport issues, its limbs are designed with independent power units.
