Sword Impulse Gundam

The AMX-RX-01β Sword Impulse Gundam is a robot from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny and is a mobile suit featured in The Knights of the Multiverse, introduced in Season 2. It was one of the first Gundams developed by Axis Zeon, along with its sister units, the standard-type Impulse and Blast Impulse. The Sword varient was built to be specialized in close combat, and is piloted by Lunamaria Hawke.

Season 2
The Impulse, Sword Impulse and Blast Impulse Gundams was created by Axis Zeon to act as their prototype models for their future Gundam mobile suits, similarly to the Titans' Gundam Mk-II, with the Sword Impulse being made to be proficient in bladed weaponry and hand-to-hand combat.

Armaments

 * Shield
 * Vulcans

Rather than being mounted in the head, the Sword Impulse has its Vulcan guns mounted in its chest.


 * Beam Rifle
 * Beam Boomerangs

The Sword Silhouette has two beam boomerangs mounted on the sides of its backpack. These "Beam Boomerangs" as they're called are throwing weapons that emit a short beam blade on one end, and can return to the owner after throwing, often catching enemy units by surprise.


 * Dual Laser Swords

The Sword Impulse carries a pair of laser swords. Unlike the normal Beam Saber, these ones are actually large physical swords with a beam blade that emits along their cutting edge. The two can be joined at their hilts to form a large dual-bladed ambidextrous form. They're also capable of extending their laser blade over the tip of the sword for even more damage against more powerful opponents like Mobile Armors.
