Franchise / Gundam Expanded Universe

Go To

The Gundam franchise not only encompasses over a dozen TV series and Original Video Animation, but also a plethora of related works in a variety of multimedia formats.

Starting with a Comic-Book Adaptation of Mobile Suit Gundam in 1979, the Gundam Expanded Universe has grown to include not just Comic Book Adaptations, but Compilation Movies, manga, animated shorts, video games, live action films, and theme park rides.

List of Gundam Expanded Universe works:

    open/close all folders 

    Manga 
Universal Century

  • Mobile Suit Gundam MS IGLOO (2005 Comic-Book Adaptation): Manga adaptation of CGI OVA series, by MEIMU.
  • Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam (1994 Comic-Book Adaptation): Manga adaptation of the TV series published by Comic Bon Bon.

  • Record of the MS Wars (1984 manga): A side story by Kazuhisa Kondo starring Frederick F. Brown, a young Zeon soldier who participates in many pivotal battles of the One Year War.

  • Mobile Suit Gundam: The Revival of Zeon (1988 manga): An Interquel between ZZ and Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack by Kazuhisa Kondo depicting the Neo-Zeon forces on Earth racing to get back into space to join up with Char. Light on story or character development, it's mainly an Excuse Plot for lots of set piece battles showcasing Kondo's gritty yet obsessively detailed, and often strangely organic, style of mecha design. Notable for featuring both the limited production versions of various Gundams introduced in Sentinel as well as Frederick Brown making an appearance as one of the Neo-Zeon commanders.

  • Under the Gundam: Double Fake (1989 manga): A side-story by Yuji Ushida. Set between ZZ Gundam and Char's Counterattack, it is based around a decoy operation launched by Char in preparation for his Neo Zeon movement, and notably features, for what is possibly the only time in the entire franchise, a fake Gundam, hence the title. Later had a sequel called Mobile Suit Gundam Almarya, set very far down the Universal Century line.

  • Mobile Suit Gundam F90 (1990 manga): A prequel to F91, the story is put in motion when a faction of Zeon that has been hiding on Mars for decades steals a prototype Gundam unit and the Federation sends the legendary 13th Autonomous Corps to retrieve it. Notably features Job John, a minor character from the original series, as a scientist working on the F90 project.
    • Mobile Suit Gundam Formula 91: Formula Wars 0122 (1991 video game): For the Super Famicom. Essentially a sequel to Gundam F90, it covers Mars Zeon's invasion of Earth.
    • Mobile Suit Gundam Silhouette Formula 91 in UC 0123 (1992-1993 manga): Another manga tying in with the movie, though this one ends three days before it and covers separate events. It focuses on Anaheim Electronics' "Silhouette Project" (read: stealing data on the F91 and using it themselves) and their encounter with the Crossbone Vanguard, a colony of Zeon die-hards, and a corrupt Federation officer.
    • Mobile Suit Gundam F90: Fastest Formula (2019-pres manga): Another prequel to F91, it jumps between UC 0112 and the events of Formula Wars 0122, serving as a more coherent bridge between the earlier entries in the franchise and Late UC. It focuses on an experimental version of the titular Gundam F90 being tested in secret by the Federation and SNRI. In addition to once again featuring an older Job John as part of SNRI, it notably has the Ronahs from F91, as well as Crux Dogatie and a young Fonse Kagatie being involved in a conspiracy that stretches beyond the Earth Sphere.

  • Mobile Suit Vs. Giant God of Legend: Gigantis' Counterattack (1992 manga): By Yuchi Hasegawa. Takes place between ZZ and Char's Counterattack, this outright non-canon manga features Amuro and Judau teaming up to thwart a Neo-Zeon plot to reactivate a gigantic Mobile Suit found embedded in an asteroid. One that may be older than the universe itself and possesses the potential to utterly destroy it...

  • Mobile Suit Gundam 0079 (1994-2005 manga): A second Comic-Book Adaptation of the original series featuring more realistic redesigns, primarily of non-MS vehicles, and merging elements of both the TV series and Compilation Movie triology. Features a brief cameo of Kondo's recurring character Frederick F. Brown working under the Black Tri-Stars. One of the few UC Manga published in English by Viz during the early 2000s Gundam boom that followed Wing's US release but the bubble burst with only nine of twelve books translated.

  • Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam (1994-1997 manga): A continuation of the F91 written by Yoshiyuki Tomino himself; the Crossbone Vanguard, now lead by the heroes of F91, have become Space Pirates and fight a shadow war against the mysterious Jupiter Empire. Has two sequels, Skull Heart (2003-4) and The Steel 7 (2006-7) which wrap up the plotline and tie it into...
    • Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam: Ghost (2011-2016 manga): Set during the last part of Victory, as Zanscare prepares to use the Angel Halo. Focuses on a revived Crossbone Vanguard who are trying to sabotage Zanscare's efforts, in particular a bioweapon called "Angel's Call", which Zanscare plans on integrating with Angel Halo.
    • Shin Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam Dust (2016-2021 manga): Set in a brand-new era of UC 168, the first Gundam production to attempt to depict anything post-Victory in a very long time. The Federation's impotence during the Zanscare conflict sparked a mass secession of the Space Colonies from the now near-powerless Federation, and the Earth Sphere has fallen into utter chaos as warlords fight each other for supremacy over the now independent colonies.
    • Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam: X-11 (2021-2022 manga): Takes place in the Jupiter Sphere, and tells the story of what Curtis Rothko was doing during the events of Dust, depicting his "final battle".
    • Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam: Love & Piece (2022-2023 manga). An anthology of side-stories featuring characters from the Crossbone Gundam.

  • Mobile Suit Victory Gundam Side Story (1995 manga): Set in 0153, it stars Uso Evin getting separated from the White Ark crew, and getting ambushed. He (and one of his attackers, a girl named Kamui Gian) is rescued by a disguised, now adult Judau Ashta, the main character of Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ. Together, they set out to seek the mysterious mobile armor that attacked them, the Zong.

  • Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin (2001-2011 Comic-Book Adaptation): by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko. A third, considerably broader adaptation of the original series, changing details and giving more background on characters like Char Anzable.

  • Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Deleted Affair: Portrait of a Young Comet (2001-2009 manga): Taking place after the One Year War, this manga focuses on Char Aznable's life on the asteroid base Axis up to his return to the Earth Sphere in UC 0083. It also details a young Haman Karn, and her rise to power as well as her relationship with Char. Fixes a couple plot holes from the MSG movies (e.g. M'Quve's disappearance) and serves as a bridge to both Gundam 0083 and Zeta Gundam.
    • Mobile Suit Z Gundam Define (2011-pres Comic-Book Adaptation): Sequel to Char’s Deleted Affair, and featuring many characters from there, while retelling the events of Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam in the same style The Origin did for the original series.

  • Mobile Suit Gundam École du Ciel (2001 manga): Set in UC 0085, the series follows a girl called Asuna Elmarit, generally regarded by fans as being Gundam's first female lead as she goes from unsure test pilot to member of the AEUG.

  • Gundam Legacy (2004-2009 manga): A collection of side stories set during multiple other Gundam series and works, generally taking place between UC 0079 and UC 0093 (from the original Mobile Suit Gundam up through ''Char's Counterattack). Each story features a different set of characters and different events from various works throughout the timeline.

  • Mobile Suit Gundam Zeta 1/2: Another Story of 0087 (2006 manga): A Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam spinoff by Crossbone's Yuichi Hasegawa. This relatively light-hearted story features the title Half Zeta Gundam, a low-cost Zeta variant with a simplified transformation system (a forerunner to the Re-GZ from Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack) being used in a mission to rescue Amuro Ray from the Titans, only for it to turn out to be a woman disguised as him.

  • Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam Day After Tomorrow - From Kai Shiden's Report (2005-2007 manga): A Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam sidestory by Tsukasa Kotobuki. The manga follows White Base veteran Kai Shiden's exploits as an Intrepid Reporter and sleuth in a plot spanning from the end of the One Year War to the events of Zeta. All while the Federation succumbs to corruption and the Titans' influence. It had a sequel, called...
    • Mobile Suit Gundam Day After Tomorrow - Kai Shiden´s Memory (2009-2012 manga): Set in UC 0105, it follows an aging Kai Shiden as he's invited to speak about his experiences, while a new memorial in Zum City is about to be opened. Alternating between the "present" and various points in the Universal Century, it puts more of a spotlight on Kai's adventures.

  • Mobile Suit Gundam: We're Federation Hooligans!! (2007 manga): This oddly named five volume manga follows a Federation special aggressor unit in December 0079 called Nemesis. A rare comedy focused series in the U.C. era (think Kelly's Heroes instead of Saving Private Ryan), instead of soul searching teens, its shounen delinquent protagonists are hot headed, horny and juvenile when not in combat. The team survives a number of unique missions, ultimately leading to the recapture of California Base. It is tied into the infamous critically panned Mobile Suit Gundam: Crossfire. It had a sequel, called...
    • Mobile Suit Gundam: Katana (2009 manga): Set in 0084, follows Lieutenant colonel Ittou Tsurugi, the new captain of the Federation's special forces unit BGST (Barghest). Operating about concurrent with Zeta Gundam. Technically an adaptation of Mobile Suit Gundam: Bonds of the Battlefield, a multiplayer Arcade Game with no real plot.
    • Mobile Suit Acguy: 2250 Miles Across America (2009 manga): A one volume spinoff of Federation Hooligans following Norton and Berde Kisuno, two Zeon brothers who pilot a pair of Acguys on an arduous journey from Florida to California in an attempt to rendezvous with the retreating Zeon Earth invasion forces.

  • Mobile Suit Gundam: The Plot to Assassinate Gihren (2007-2010 manga): An unusual Gundam, in that it doesn't focus on massive battles between mobile suits, but is a detective story, following Leopold Fieseler, a detective with the Zeon Public Peace Department/Zeon Public Safety Department who is tasked with investigating various terrorist attacks against the Principality of Zeon during the One Year War. What he discovers is a plot to assassinate Ghiren Zabi by the anti-Zeon group, called Valkyrie (an obvious throw back to the name of the operation that almost killed Adolf Hitler).

  • MSV-R: The Return of Johnny Ridden (2010 manga): Taking place three years before Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack, it tells the story of a small Federation survey team compiling data on the various one-off prototype MS and other wonderweapons created by both sides during the One Year War. What starts out as a Merchandise-Driven Excuse Plot to showcase various new model kits becomes something much darker and more mysterious when the team uncovers evidence of a conspiracy ten years in the making involving the vicious Princess Kycilia Zabi, corrupt Federation officials and a certain red-clad Ace Pilot. But not the one you'd think. Also notable for bringing back Yazan Gable.

  • Gundam UC Hard Graph: Iron Mustang (2011 manga): Set during the One Year War, this one still manages to be a fairly unique entry into the Gundam saga for several reasons. A P.O.V. Sequel that follows a group of Zeon Soldiers who appeared in a single episode of the original TV series (ep. 14, Time Be Still, for the record) and their experiences during the One Year War. One thing that sets it apart from most Gundam stories is that the main character, Chief Petty Officer Cuaron, is not a mobile suit pilot but rather a scout who rides a Wappa hoverbike, the Iron Mustang of the title.

  • Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt (2012 manga): Set in 0079 during the One Year War, the story's focus is on the "Thunderbolt Sector", a shoal zone where old destroyed space colonies are discarded, so named because of the electrical discharges between various debris. The main character is MS pilot Io Flemming, who is dispatched with other Federal forces to the area; awaiting him is Zeon sniper Daryl Lorenz.

  • Mobile Suit Gundam: Hunter of Black Clothes (2012-2013 manga)

  • Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Rebellion (2013-2021 manga): An Adaptation Expansion and retelling of Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory by the OVA's director, in a similar manner to Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin.

  • Mobile Suit Gundam U.C. 0096: Last Sun (2014-2017 manga)

  • Mobile Suit Moon Gundam (2017-pres manga): Set during 0092, it tells the story of a young Newtype pilot from the backwards colony Moon Moon who takes control of a kitbashed Psycommu Mobile Suit comprised of the body of a Sazabi prototype and the head of a destroyed Psyco Gundam Mk. IV and its mysterious "Psycho Shards".

  • Mobile Suit Gundam Valpurgis (2017-2022 manga) Taking place during Universal Century 0089, the story follows Mashiro Oaks, a high school student on Olympus, a Side 2 colony. However, things change for Mashiro when a Neo Zeon group attacks the settlement, led by a woman claiming to be Haman Karn. If that wasn't strange enough, an injured girl arrives, piloting a mobile suit that appears to be a white PMX-003 The-O, calling Mashiro "Master Paptimus".

  • Mobile Suit Gundam Pulitzer: Amuro Ray Beyond the Aurora (2021 manga): Set during 0095, it'll star a now-adult Kikka Kobayashi who's going around collecting testimonies about Amuro Ray. It will launch on Gundam Ace magazine's October issue on August 26, and will be written by Chihiro Ōwaki and drawn by Umetarō Saitani.

  • Mobile Suit Gundam Rust Horizon (2022 manga): Set during U.C. 0079 of the One Year War, after Garma Zabi's death and Char's disappearance, Earth Federation Forces soldier Nanao searches for the whereabouts of a missing commander named Leo Barnaak. Nanao and his platoon members soon find themselves in trouble while looking for him as they fight Zeon forces and discover the mysterious legacy left behind by Garma.

  • Mobile Suit Gundam Wearwolf (2023 manga): Taking place during U.C. 0087, during the three-way conflict between the Titans, AEUG, and Axis Zeon, the story follows the crew of the Titan ship Hecate as they find themselves adrift in space after an AEUG attack while carrying their new Gundam prototype; soon the ship's crew finds themselves getting picked off one by one by a wolf in human skin: a werewolf.

  • Mobile Suit Gundam: The battle tales of Flanagan Boone (2023 manga): Another tale during U.C. 0079 (the One Year War). The story is about Flanagan Boone, the man in the MAM-07 Grublo the White Base crew fought when they arrived at the Ireland base in the original show. The manga follows Boone during the war and his experiences that led him to attack the White Base and the Gundam.

Mobile Fighter G Gundam

  • Mobile Fighter G Gundam Gaiden: The Next Generation (1995 manga): A short manga which is sequel to the TV series. It take place just before the 14th Gundam Fight, with Domon's pupil and inheritor of the God Gundam, Yugo Kagami, as candidate of Neo Japan.

New Mobile Report Gundam Wing

  • Mobile Suit Gundam Wing: Episode Zero (1997 manga): A series of vignettes focusing on key moments in the childhoods of the Gundam Pilots and Relena that helped make them who they are in the series. Since it was penned by the show's head writer, and Word of God said that it just barely missed being animated due to scheduling conflicts (the two episodes it would have made up became Clip Shows instead), Episode Zero is more or less considered canon.
  • Gundam Wing Dual Story: G-Unit (1997 manga): AKA Gundam Wing: The Last Outpost in America. A sidestory beginning roughly halfway through the TV series, G-Unit focuses on the Asteroid Belt colony MO-V that's developed its own modular Gundams with a special Super Mode. This draws the attention of OZ's black ops division Prize, which begins a months-long siege of the colony. Not to be confused with another G-Unit.
  • Gundam Wing: Battlefield of Pacifists (1997 manga): One of the three Interquel manga, focusing on rumors of a lost OZ mobile doll plant and the race between OZ remnants and a supposed pacifist group to get their hands on it while the Gundam Team works to find and destroy it.
  • Gundam Wing: Blind Target (1998 manga): The second Interquel, focusing on a shadowy rebel group attempting to stir up war once more, and the efforts of the Gundam pilots to stop them.
    • Gundam Wing: Blind Target (1998 radio drama)
  • Gundam Wing: Ground Zero (1998 manga)
  • New Mobile Report Gundam Wing Sidestory: Tiel's Impulse (1998 manga): A short manga, it deals with a young girl whose quest to find her missing brother leads her to discovering Romefeller's secret plant for creating mass produced Gundams. Because it was made for a book on model customization, it's a little light on substance and all the MS are just parts swaps of existing designs.
  • Gundam Wing Endless Waltz: The Glory of Losers (2010 manga): An External Retcon of the television series, using the Endless Waltz-styled versions of the Gundams and adding plot elements from the other sidestories like Episode Zero and Frozen Teardrop.

In an ironic twist, the story's runaway popularity netted it an unexpected extension.
  • After War Gundam X NEXT PROLOGUE (2018 manga): A one-chapter manga that follows Garrod Ran and Tiffa Adill some time after the events of the anime. Was released with the Blu-ray version of Gundam X, then re-released alongside a re-publication of the Tokita manga and Newtype Warrior Jamil Neate.

Notable for intersecting with the events of the series to close several Plot Holes without resorting to actual RetCons. Astray is a series unto itself, with an ever-expanding number of manga and photonovels that continue even as the primary SEED story has stalled.
    • Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Astray R (2002-2004 manga): a sidestory for a sidestory, Astray R fills in other holes the original manga couldn't.

  • Gundam 00I (2010-2011 manga): Serialized in Gundam Ace. This series takes place during Season 2, and follows Leif Recitativo, an Innovade who must gather others like himself.

Fans have taken to calling it "Gundam meets Kamen Rider Decade", a fairly accurate descriptornote . The premise is also reminiscent of ∀ Gundam, though where that series actually fits in is still up in the air. It features a cross-promotion with Gundam Extreme Vs., marking the first physical appearance by the game's Final Boss EX-.
  • Despair Memory Gundam Sequel (2023-Ongoing manga): Set in an alternate universe separate from any other Gundam series.

  • Gundam Vs Series (2000-pres video game)
    • Mobile Suit Gundam: Federation vs Zeon (2000): The first game in the series, centering on Mobile Suit Gundam. It laid down the groundwork for the entire series, as well as being an overall fun and enjoyable game. Several months later, Capcom updated the game into Federation vs Zeon DX, adding in the Ground Combat Gundam and Ground Combat GM from Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team to bolster the Federation's roster. The DX version was used to make the home version on PlayStation 2 and Sega Dreamcast, which added a Campaign Mode wherein the player became a Federation or Zeon pilot and fought through the One Year War from the early skirmishes up until the final battle at A Baoa Qu.
    • Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam: AEUG vs Titans (2003): This first sequel shifted the story to the popular Zeta Gundam timeframe and introduced some new mechanics, such as Transforming Mecha. Like its predecessor, it later had a DX version which added in several Mobile Suits left out of the original release, added in the Awakenings system (Assault, Revive and Mobility) and was used to make the home version.
    • Mobile Suit Gundam: Gundam vs Zeta Gundam (2004): A sequel to the sequel, Gundam vs Zeta Gundam could be considered the "complete" version of AEUG vs Titans. It features every Mobile Suit from the previous games, as well as bonuses from Gundam ZZ: Judau and the ZZ Gundam, the Purus and their Qubeley Mk-IIs, and the ZZ version of Haman Karn. A home-exclusive release, the Campaign Mode from the previous two games was replaced with Universal Century Mode, where the player could explore the entire cast's role in the One Year War and Gryps Conflict, changing history by altering significant events and moving towards the best (for that faction, at least) ending.
    • Mobile Suit Gundam SEED: Alliance vs ZAFT (2005): Jumping to the Alternate Universe of Cosmic Era, this sequel focuses on Gundam SEED and greatly overhauls the game engine. The action is sped up thanks to several changes, including addition of Boost Dashing, melee combos made more plentiful and easier to execute, and the ability to activate Awakenings when your meter is only half-full. Later upgrades added in several Mobile Suits from Gundam SEED Destiny, including the five Second Stage Gundams and several custom ZAKUs from the first part of the show. The PlayStation 2 port earned some flack for lacking any extra modes, a problem which was rectified somewhat in the PlayStation Portable release.
    • Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny: Alliance vs ZAFT II (2006): Focusing on Gundam SEED Destiny, this game's primary change from its predecessor is a greatly expanded cast list (with some re-balancing for the machines that appeared in that game) and the expansion of the Awakenings system similar to AEUG vs Titans DX (Speed for Mobility, Power for Assault, and Rush Mode from Alliance vs ZAFT. All with character specific effects...). Later upgrades added in the Strike Noir and Stargazer Gundam from the ONA Gundam SEED C.E. 73 Stargazer, while the home version (dubbed Alliance vs ZAFT II Plus) adds in several slight variations to existing machines, such as Yzak Joule's GOUF Ignited and Andy Waltfeld's Gaia Gundam. Plus also features P.L.U.S. Mode, where the player takes on the role of Shinn Asuka and performs missions for the rest of the cast, earning new machines and making friends as he does.
    • Mobile Suit Gundam: Gundam vs Gundam (2008): A Crisis Crossover game, featuring characters from every series from Mobile Suit Gundam up through Gundam SEED Destiny (with Setsuna F. Seiei and Gundam Exia appearing later as a bonus). The game's plot is...simple: the Devil Gundam arises in 2032 and takes over arcade machines from the Gundam vs Series that encompass the entire franchise, forcing the heroes to unite and fight off the monster. Gameplay is a mix of the SEED and Universal Century games, with a streamlining of the resource system, removal of the Awakening system (replaced by G-Crossover attacks), and Mobile Assists (Striker-like assists performed by allied Mobile Suits). The PSP version added in four new machines, the Guncannon, Kampfer, Gundam GP01, and Destiny Gundam.
    • Mobile Suit Gundam: Gundam vs Gundam NEXT (2009): An overall improved version of Gundam vs Gundam, boasting more new Mobile Suits, new stages, new music, re-balanced characters, and the NEXT Dash ability, allowing every character to dash-cancel their attacks for even faster action. After spending most of 2009 in arcades, a PSP port (NEXT Plus) was released in September, gaining Wing Zero Custom, Altron Custom, the 00-Raiser and Reborns Gundam, the Zeong, The O, Providence Gundam, and the Kshatriya, along with a Mission Mode.
    • Mobile Suit Gundam Extreme Vs. (2010): Released in arcades in late 2010 and in December 2011 for PlayStation 3. The game resembles Gundam vs Gundam, but was rebuilt from the ground up with a few changes: Mobile Assists are only given to some characters, while every MS has a character-specific Super Mode dubbed an Extreme Burst, with several having Finishing Moves on top of that. It also uses a card system similar to Street Fighter IV that lets the player customize play options like the interface design and Mission Control. It is also the first game in the series to include mecha and characters from non-animated Gundam works, including Crossbone Gundam, Gundam IGLOO, and Gundam SEED Astray. The home version was released December 2011 for PlayStation 3 and gained several new units, including Blue Frame Second L and Gundam Dynames, not to mention DLC, which introduced Blue Destiny 1 among others.
    • Mobile Suit Gundam Extreme Vs. Full Boost (2012): Announced shortly before the home release of the original Extreme Vs., it was released in arcades of Japan in early 2012. The game adds a Combo Breaker feature, gives two choices of Super Mode, and gives everybody a Super Move. PS3 version will include Online Cooperative play mode, for anyone who wants to tackle the Arcade mode with another player across the globe. Several new characters have been introduced, with stories like Gundam SEED C.E.73 Stargazer and Hathaway's Flash joining the series. A PlayStation 3 port was released January 2014, with EX-S Gundam added in as a first print only code-activated PS3-exclusive unit.
    • Mobile Suit Gundam Extreme Vs. Maxi Boost (2014): Announced along with the home version of its precursor, Maxi Boost is the latest expansion to the game and a further refinement of Full Boost. Though the game reverts to a single Super Mode, a new ability called EX-Overdrive has been added, which can enhance the player's machine either in melee or ranged combat and can be combined with EX Burst to turn the tables of a battle. Naturally more characters are being added to the roster, most notably the debut of Mobile Suit Gundam AGE (with the Asuno family in the AGE-1, -2, and -3). It also sees the debut of an upgraded version of Leos' custom Extreme Gundam called Leos Type II Vs. Maxi Boost is also the first of the EXVS games to not have a port for Playstation.
    • Mobile Suit Gundam Extreme Vs. Force (2015/2016): A PS Vita-exclusive release, ExVs Force uses the Extreme Vs. engine redesigned to be a single-player experience. The game adds some tactical elements, with the player being able to command NPC units in real time. ExVs Force is also noteworthy for being the series debuts of the the debuts of the G-Self and Gundam Barbatos. It's also the only entry in the game to have a story mode in the form of Extreme Force, which acts as a prequel to the events of the EXA manga and Extreme VS. series, with the faceless protagonist's/player's identity later turning out to be EX-. The game was given an English release for Asian countries and later brought to America (As a Playstation Store exclusive), making it the first game in the series to hit US shores in over a decade.
    • Mobile Suit Gundam Extreme Vs. Maxi Boost ON (2016): A sequel of Maxi Boost wherein the whole online arcade network of Japan is united into one (hence the "ON" meaning Online Network). The EX Overdrive feature has been reworked, being integrated to the Super Mode. Now, players can choose from three revamped Super Modes a-la Alliance Vs. ZAFT: Melee-oriented Fighting Burst, Ranged-oriented Shooting Burst, and the new Extend Burst which improves your defense and allows you to reuse your remaining EX Gauge whenever you get shot down at Super Mode. Again, new characters are added, most notably AGE-FX, Mack-Knife, Barbatos (4th Form), the much awaited return of the Akatsuki Gundam, and a new playable Extreme Gundam piloted by Sthesia Awar herself.
    • Gundam Versus (2017): Billed as the next evolution of the series, Gundam Versus is a standalone game rather than being built upon the foundation of the Extreme Vs. sub-series. Additionally, it's geared specifically for the home market, with no planned arcade release. The game is made for the Playstation 4 and features greatly improved graphics and destructible buildings, thanks to the help of some of the minds behind the Fox Engine. Awakenings have been revamped yet again, this time named "Blaze Gear" and "Lightning Gear", which grant extra benefits to the user's partner when activated. The game's roster includes some returning favorites as well as some machines that never made it into the series thus far, like Ramba Ral's Gouf and Gundam Kyrios. Notable for the proper debut of Gundam Build Fighters with the Build Strike Gundam Full Package and its pilot Reiji as DLC.
    • Mobile Suit Gundam: Extreme Vs. 2 (2018): Arcade sequel of the Extreme VS series.

  • Mobile Suit Gundam Climax UC (2006 video game)

Mainly popular for the sheer kitbashing fun they provide.
    • Gundam Breaker 2 (2014 video game): The Surprisingly Improved Sequel to the first game, which ironed out the original's more obvious flaws and introduced even more models to make kitbashes out of...and oddly enough, an actual plot (though it still uses the video game Framing Device).
    • Gundam Breaker 3 (2016 video game): PS4 release, adding once again even more parts to choose from, as well as hardpoints (allowing you to put extra accessories all over your mech) and SD Gundam models as Assist Characters.

    • New Gundam Breaker (2018 video game): Adding once again even more parts to choose from, but at the cost of leaving out the SD Gundam models from the game. Has a new system that allows you to equip parts dropped by fallen enemies immediately after picking them up. It's also the first in the Gundam Breaker series to be released worldwide- US and Europe included this time- and also get a Steam release alongside the PS4 version. Widely panned by critics and players in all regions upon release.

    Live Action Film 
  • G-Saviour (2000 live action movie, novel): Originally intended for Gundam's Big Bang Project (the 20th anniversary) in 1999. Besides being set in the UC 0200s, it has extremely little to do with Gundam overall; this, combined with the poor production qualities, has resulted in fans and Sunrise alike trying to pretend it never happenednote  (but not officially disbarring it from canon). There is also a novelization of movie that differs in that it provides better connections to the rest of the Universal Century and tells the story more like a conventional Gundam work.
    • G-Saviour (1993 Comic-Book Adaptation): by Takuto.
    • G-Saviour (2000 video game): A PS2 action game acting as a sequel to the movie.

    Toy Lines 
  • Mobile Suit in Action!, a line of action figures dedicated to the franchise's Mobile Suits (And sometimes the vehicles and ships of the series). Spun off multiple lines still focused on the series, as well as In Action! Offshoot, dedicated to non-Gundam real robots. The line focused on nearly all Gundam series until SEED Destiny. Many of these figurines were brought to the West during Toonami's run of the series.
  • Robot Spirits
  • Gundam Universe takes some cues from the well-known Marvel Legends figures, resulting in figures a lot bigger than the MSiA line but still smaller than 1/100 models, and a more durable design.
