Gundam 00 is one of the most famous Alternate Universe series in the Mobile Suit Gundam franchise. After two successful seasons, it got the exciting movie A Wakening of the Trailblazer. It follows the battle between the Gundam Meisters of Celestial Being and the new alien threat: ELS. Setsuna's powerful 00 Raiser was destroyed by alien enemies, leaving him out of commission for most of the fight. However, as Lockon, Allelujah and the Earth Sphere Federation battle the ELS, Setsuna awakens and receives a brand new device that has been in development for a while: the Gundam 00 QanT.
00 QanT is Setsuna's final and by far his most powerful Gundam. It is truly an entity on a cosmic level of power. Much more advanced than Exia or 00 Raiser combined. 00 QanT is truly a special Gundam.

Gundam 00 QanT's armament; Power like no other
Heavenly Being's Masterpiece
Built by Celestial Being's lead mechanics, Ian and Linda Vashti, the 00 QanT is the culmination of Celestial Being's technological advancements. Equipped with a Twin Drive System and a Veda Terminal that connects Setsuna to Veda and Tieria Erde, QanT provides Setsuna with all the tools he needs for this final mission.
GN Sword V, The Ultimate Saber
Following the line started by the Gundam Exia, the 00 QanT is equipped with the 5th generation GN Sword. Each of these is a dual-purpose weapon, acting as both a high-density saber and a powerful beam rifle. 00 QanT's GN Sword V is the lightest yet most powerful of the line. Much more practical than 00 Raiser's GN Sword III. This powerful blade can cut through virtually anything, giving the 00 QanT top-notch melee combat.
GN shield, unbreakable defense
Unlike Exia and 00 Raiser's shields, 00 QanT's shield is mounted on his backpack and hovers over his left shoulder. The GN Shield is imbued with a GN Drive, which provides sufficient energy to the GN Sword Bits once attached to it. The shield can move along the Gundam to provide defense at most angles without carrying it on the arm. It also has a GN Beam Gun equipped to intercept nearby enemies.

How Gundam 00 stays relevant with current events
Gundam 00's coverage of real-world issues is still relevant nearly 20 years later. Here's a look at why.
GN Sword Bits
Following the trend of other Celestial Being Gundams such as Gundam Zabanya and Gundam Harute, the 00 QanT features six, remote-controlled blades similar to the funnel-type weapons seen in other Gundam series. The sword pieces are usually attached to the GN shield, but they can be deployed to attack distant enemies through Setsuna's Quantum Brainwaves, thanks to his Innovator abilities. The sword pieces can also be attached to the GN Sword V, giving it special functions.
GN Sword V Buster Sword/Buster Rifle Mode
By attaching the sword pieces to the sword, it can be transformed into the GN Buster Sword, a giant sword that enhances the normal abilities. 00 QanT can use the weapon in both blade and rifle mode, just like the standard version. In Buster Rifle Mode, it can fire a massive, extremely powerful beam that can destroy countless enemies at once.
00 QanT's special system, the bringer of peace
The ultimate evolved life form
Like the other Celestial Being Gundams, the 00 QanT is equipped with special systems that alter the unit's performance. These give Setsuna additional ways to fight ELS.
Trans-Am, Red Lights of War
As is the tradition of every Celestial Being unit, Trans-Am is a special mode that grants the 00 QanT's extraordinary speed and attack power. It enhances each of the Gundam's functions, making a powerful suit even more impressive. However, the situation cannot be maintained for long.

Mobile Suit Gundam: How Powerful is the Unicorn Gundam?
The Unicorn Gundam's advanced psycho-frame technology and immense power make it an almost unstoppable force. How powerful is it really?
Quantum System/Quantum Burst, Green Lights of Peace
A special mode unique to 00 QanT. The device glows bright green, allowing Setsuna to use her innovator abilities to the fullest. The Gundam emits high-density GN particles throughout the area, allowing Setsuna to create a split consciousness. At full capacity, it activates Quantum Burst. This mode allows Setsuna to establish communication with any intelligent species, allowing him to converse with ELS. Through this ability, 00 QanT is capable of quantum teleportation.
ELS QanT, The Bringer of True Understanding
After Setsuna and 00 QanT merge with ELS, the unit further evolves into ELS QanT. The ultimate mechanical life form. In this form, Setsuna and QanT are the most advanced beings in the universe.
With all its powerful weapons and unique systems, the 00 QanT is the most advanced unit in the Anno Domini universe of Gundam 00. After its union with the ELS, the QanT evolved into a higher life form. In its normal form, the QanT is already a Gundam like no other, but in its evolved state it is a transcendent being of peace and understanding.
