Three mobile suits have been named for GUNDAM ROGUE ORBIT so far, each tied to a specific pilot, and the official roster is marked as incomplete. Because the game is set in an entirely new timeline, none of these machines carries over from any earlier Gundam continuity.
Mobile Suit | Designation | Pilot |
|---|---|---|
Gundam Helix | ARK-10 | |
BAU BAHLAM | BMP4/6 | |
CALICE | TRA122E/B |
Gundam Helix
The player's machine, and the one the game is built around. Gundam Helix is a high-mobility unit that fights with an oversized blade, a hook-shot that drags it toward a target, and ranged weapons including a rifle and a compact sidearm. The team has put its height at 18 metres. Its full article covers its design and armament in detail: see Gundam Helix.
Its model designation is ARK-10. That code first surfaced only in the name of a model kit, which is why earlier coverage treated it cautiously, but it now appears on the game's own mobile suits listing as the machine's designation.
BAU BAHLAM
Designation BMP4/6, flown by Big Paul, who leads the sand pirates of Red Grit. It is a heavy, thick-limbed machine finished in rust and copper browns, built around a single sensor eye and made to look salvaged and hard-worn rather than issued. Official art shows it carrying an enormous sword whose edge is lined with chainsaw teeth.
CALICE
Designation TRA122E/B, flown by Elaine Galath of the Trezoa Council. Where BAU BAHLAM reads as scrap and salvage, CALICE reads as a knight: pale silver and grey plating, a pointed bladed crest on the head, elaborate armour and a long lance held level. The contrast matches the two pilots' very different places in the setting.
The Black Mobile Suit
The release date trailer closes on a machine the publisher will only describe as a mysterious black Mobile Suit with glowing red eyes. It has not been named, no pilot has been attached to it, and it does not appear on the official roster. It is the only mobile suit the publisher has deliberately withheld.
Design Direction
The team has described the design brief as a strong push toward realism, aiming for machines that read as weapons which could plausibly exist rather than stylized silhouettes. Official material is published as both finished renders and mechanical design line art. More machines are promised: the roster page ends with a note that further mobile suits are still to come.
Parts from these machines are not confined to them. The loadout system lets outer frame pieces be swapped between suits, so BAU BAHLAM limbs can end up mounted on Gundam Helix. See Customization.
