Gundam Deathscythe

One of the first Gundam Models that I was able to build. I was really excited to build this one and I later on went and bought other models, most of them however were priced at lower costs which also implied on the quality of the model.. but, I what I really like about it was the actual building of the model and not the price that either distinguished it on being authentic or not.. (^_^") -- Deathscythe is one of the five mobile suits sent to Earth as part of Operation Meteor; a plan whereby rebels would be able to weaken the controlling influence the United Earth Sphere Alliance and the Organization of the Zodiac (OZ) held over the orbital colonies. Deathscythe was launched from the cluster of orbital colonies located at the L2 Lagrange point at the beginning of the series. Deathscythe was piloted by Duo Maxwell from the start of the series until his capture by OZ in episode 19. Duo was one of only two Gundam pilots to take their Gundams into space in episode 17, along with Chang Wufei and the Shenlong Gundam. Duo was defeated because Deathscythe was not designed for space combat, and his self-detonation device failed. The damaged suit was retrieved by OZ, studied to provide the basis of the Vayeate and Mercurius prototype mobile suits, and then destroyed as pro-OZ propaganda. The five rebel scientists responsible for building the Gundams (who are at this point captured and forced to work on the two prototype suits), retrieve the components and begin to rebuild and upgrade the Deathscythe. The partially completed Deathscythe Hell first appears in episode 23, and is activated in episode 25, when Duo and Chang Wufei escape OZ. Deathscythe Hell is involved heavily in the fighting leading up to the conclusion of the series, is used in the manga set between Gundam Wing and Endless Waltz, and at a point prior to the OVA, is sent to Quatre Winner for disposal along with three other Gundams. During the events of Endless Waltz, the sun-bound satellite carrying the four Gundams must be recovered. Duo and Deathscythe Hell are reunited during the third episode of the OVA, and the Gundam is used during the battle against the Mariemeia Army in Brussels. At the end of the OVA, Deathscythe Hell is destroyed by self-detonation. -- - answers.com
