History Characters / MobileSuitGundamWing

* ArmorPiercingSlap: As Colonel Une, this is her favorite way of bringing uppity subordinates into line. Used on Noin, most famously.
** In ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamWingEndlessWaltz'' she almost does this to Mariemaia, but Relena beats her to it.

* ArmorPiercingSlap: Punch variant, to Trowa.

* NewJobAsThePlotDemands: Let's see: MS pilot for OZ, a junk dealer with Duo, a spy, [[PlayfulHacker a hacker]]. In ''Frozen Teardrop'', [[spoiler:she's becomes a HospitalHottie, a [[CuteBookworm librarian]], an [[HotScientist expert in nano technology]] and a nun.]]

* AnAxeToGrind: The primary melee weapon of the Maganac's is an axe. Beam sabers are occasionally depicted but the axe gets the most screentime.

* WeaponOfChoice: Abdul's Maganac has an ArmCannon, while Auda's has a PowerFist in the form of a giant Gundanium claw hand.

* RoyalRapier: Befitting her aristocratic nature, her WeaponOfChoice is a rapier for hand-to-hand combat.

* TransformingMecha: All the Gundams he used in the series, starting with the Wing. Avoided with the Wing Zero EW.

* AmbiguousDisorder: When first introduced, she's clearly...off. (See "Cloud Cuckoolander"). The way she reacts to Heero is ''definitely'' not a normal reaction.

* AmbiguousDisorder: The guy's just a little ''too'' attached to his Mobile Dolls and has NoSocialSkills whatsoever. Even among the stupider villains of the series he stands out in this regard, being incredibly blunt (and loud) in every action he takes and never realizing (or caring) that pushing people the way he pushes machines will have consequences.

* MechaExpansionPack: The ''Glory of the Losers'' manga retelling gives him the Igel Unit, which are attachments that give Heavy Arms even more missile pods than its Kai version, and comes with a large Beam cannon attached to its back, which while powerful, can only be fired once due to its weak barrel. It's so heavy, its feet need trailer crawlers to maintain mobility.
* MidSeasonUpgrade: {{Downplayed|Trope} in the original anime. Trowa has to abandon his Heavyarms and takes on the Vayeate for a while. Due to him being out of action, Trowa doesn't receive his upgraded Heavyarms until near the end of the series (episode 44), being the last of the 5 to receive his upgrade. His new suit, the Heavyarms Kai, has the least amount of changes from its original model in comparison to the other Gundams. Its only significant changes are modification for space, some extra missile slots, and a dual Gatling gun. His suit's redesign for ''Endless Waltz'' overhauls his armament considerably, adding more chest Gatling guns and missiles.

* MultinationalTeam: Heero (Japanese), Duo (American), Trowa (Unknown), Quatre (Middle Eastern), Wu Fei (Chinese). The fact that no one knows Trowa's origin is just one of the many mysteries about him.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Treize is the only high-ranking OZ officer opposed to the use of Romefeller's Mobile Doll system. He's also opposed to some of Lady Une's more extreme methods, and often has to order her to stand down.

* MidSeasonUpgrade: After the Deathschythe is heavily damaged and then finished off by OZ, the Gundam Scientists in OZ captivity secretly gather the remains of the suit, and rebuilt it into the improved Gundam Deathscythe Hell. Compared to its predecessor, it features more powerful weaponry, upgrades to its mobility allowing it to operate efficiently in space as well as Earth, and most notably, an Active Cloak, which grants additional protection from beam weaponry and enhances its already formidable stealth ability.

* MidSeasonUpgrade: His Sandrock is upgraded into the Sandrock Kai/Custom late in the series. After Sandrock is wrecked in the self-destruct he swaps to the Wing Zero for a while before returning to the Sandrock after the Maganac Corps. repairs it. Though unlike Duo and Wufei's Gundams which were repaired and upgraded by the scientists, Quatre's Gundam was basically the same as before and it wasn't until meeting Howard's group near the end of the show that it was upgraded into the Custom, making Quatre the 2nd to the last of the pilots to receive his upgrade. The Custom has more verniers and is much more adept to space combat, it's also been given a beam uzi (where his original Gundam was solely a melee suit). Visually, in the series at least, the Sandrock Custom is nearly identical to the original Sandrock much like how the Heavyarms Custom kept most of the Heavyarms's design.

* MechaExpansionPack: The ''Glory of the Losers'' manga retelling gives him the Igel Unit, which are attachments which gives Heavy Arms even more missile pods then it's Kai version, and comes with a large Beam cannon attached to it's back, which while powerful, can only be fired once due to it's weak barrel. It's so heavy it's feet needs trailer crawlers to maintain mobility.
* MidSeasonUpgrade: Downplayed in the orginal anime. Trowa has to abandon his Heavyarms and takes on the Vayeate for a while. Due to him being out of action, Trowa doesn't recieve his upgraded Heavyarms until near the end of the series (episode 44), being the last of the 5 to recieve his upgrade. His new suit, the Heavyarms Kai, has the least amount of changes from its original model in comparison to the other Gundams. It's only significant changes are modification for space, some extra missile slots, and a dual gatling gun. His suit's redesign for ''Endless Waltz'' overhauls his arnament considerably, adding more chest gatling guns and missiles.
* MoreDakka: One of Gundam's poster children for this in the franchise. In it's first form it has a beam gatling gun, two gatling guns in it's chest, two head vulcans, two machine cannons, and two missile pods with one filled with homing missile and another with micro missiles. While it's TV Kai version only replaces the beam gatling with a twin beam gatling gun, it's ''Endless Waltz'' version takes it UpToEleven: two double barrel Gatling guns, four chest gatling guns, and even more missile pods.

* NonspecificallyForeign: Only member of the MultinationalTeam without even a confirmed ethnicity. The fandom often considers him hispanic, which would make him STILL an example. He's also sometimes considered "European," or occasionally Russian.

* MidSeasonUpgrade: Downplayed. Trowa has to abandon his Heavyarms and takes on the Vayeate for a while. Due to him being out of action, Trowa doesn't recieve his upgraded Heavyarms until near the end of the series (episode 44), being the last of the 5 to recieve his upgrade. His new suit, the Heavyarms Kai, has the least amount of changes from its original model in comparison to the other Gundams. It's only significant changes are modification for space, some extra missile slots, and a dual gatling gun. His suit's redesign for ''Endless Waltz'' overhauls his arnament considerably, adding more chest gatling guns and missiles.
* MoreDakka: The basic idea behind his mecha. Strap all the guns and missiles you can onto one machine

* EnemyMine: Late in the series, he ends up helping the Gundam pilots, particularly Heero, against Romefeller and later White Fang, due to opposing the actions of Duke Dermail and later Zechs. First by providing the former with the Gundam Epyon, and the latter by having OZ forces fight White Fang's Mobile Dolls alongside the Gundam pilots.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Treize is the only high-ranking OZ officer opposed to the use of Romefeller's Mobile Doll system.

** Supplanting the Taurus later on is the Virgo, the second generation of Mobile Dolls developed from both the Mercurius and Vayeate. They are made from Gundanium alloy, more powerful beam weaponry, and have [[AttackDrone planet defensers]] allowing for increased protection.

* EliteMooks: They field Space Leos and Taurus suits, but their primary fighting Mobile Suit is the MMS-01 Serpent, a fast, and heavily armed suit built from the Heavyarms. Notably, the MS's are built to fight in both space and on Earth.

* KnifeNut: Works as the circus's knife thrower. [[spoiler:In ''Frozen Teardrop'', she trains Trowa Phobos in knife use.]]

* MadeOfIron: Dorothy [[spoiler: stabs him through the lung]] yet he still manages to stand there and make a very long speech at her before Trowa takes him to safety, then pilot his mobile suit out of the Libra again.

* BrokenAce:: He's got all the ability of TheAce and the personality of a Type A StepfordSmiler.

* ZeroPercentApprovalRating:: An possible subversion; The [[MegaCorp Winner Corporation]] is established as a near-military power, building multiple Gundams, a private mobile suit army in the form of the Maganacs, and coincidentally [[LibertariansInSpace owns their space habitat-satellite]]. Whatever they did to cause the actual residents and workers of said satellite [[TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized to launch a popular uprising for their removal as soon as OZ arrived]], it was not popular. Not OZ, nor the former-Alliance, nor the Winner's own army of workers, care for their rule; perhaps unsurisingly, Zayeed can't [[HonestCorporateExecutive imagine]] [[CluelessBoss why]].

A colonel within Romefeller placed in charge of the Libra Space Fortress. In reality he's a member of White Fang and surrenders the base to the revolutionaries.

* KilledOffForReal: He and his base are destroyed by OZ's space fortress Barge before Milliardo singlehandedly destroys it.

* MoleInCharge: The head of the Libra Space Fortress and a high ranking member of Romefeller (colonel much like Tubarov). In his debut the audience learns that he's part of White Fang, a group seeking to undermine the Foundation.

* DeathByChildbirth: What happened to Quatre's mother [[spoiler: when she insisted on giving birth to Quatre naturally, when all of the Winner children before him were [[DesignerBabies test tube babies]] ''and'' she was a very delicate IllGirl.]].

%%* IllGirl

* IllGirl: She died of an illness two years after Mariemaia was born.
