Name: Gundam Fenice Rinascita - Build Fighter Ricardo Fellini Custom Made Mobile Suit

Model Number: XXXG-01Wfr

Weight: 7.3 tons

Starring in "New Mobile Report Gundam Wing", the Wing Gundam has been Ricardo Fellini's favorite since he started playing Gunpla Battle as a child. He had to fight many battles to gain his experience, so naturally his favorite machine needed to be repaired many times. The customizations added up, and eventually his own original creation, the Wing Gundam Fenice, was born. The most distinctive feature of its design was its asymmetry, which forced the omission of the original Wing Gundam's flight mode transformation.

Using the Fenice, Fellini made consecutive appearances in the World Tournament as the Italian representative. But in the 7th World Tournament, the Fenice suffered heavy damages after a fierce battle with Aila Jyrkiäinen, the Finnish representative, and her Qubeley Papillion. To address this, Fellini immediately began work on resurrecting the Fenice. He had previously thought up plans for an improved version, and had already completed some of the parts. He spent a long time making one improvement after another, and ended up balancing out the original asymmetry.

The design concept for this machine was "If the Wing Gundam had been powered up during 'New Mobile Report Gundam Wing' what would it have looked like?" Fellini used his imagination and came up with his own answer. As such, the left and right symmetry as well as the flight mode transformation were restored. The "Rinascita" added to its name means "resurrection".

Shortly after this machine was completed, it participated in the struggle brought forth when the Arista went berserk at the 7th World Tournament's conclusion. With its immense firepower and superior mobility, Fellini's resurrected machine both impressed everyone there and played a large role in minimizing damages.

Flight Mode
A transformation mode suited for flight. A mobile suit can give up their superior close range combat capabilities in exchange for high speed movement. In this machine's case, the transformation time was shortened as much as possible to capitalize on the merits of both mobile suit and flight modes. Handling-wise, understanding the proper timing for a transformation is exceedingly difficult. Construction is similarly complex, as the machine's complicated structure demands a great deal of skill. As such, this machine is the materialization of Fellini's superior skills as both a Fighter and a Builder.
This machine has the ability to launch its shield as separate unit, allowing it to remain humanoid while simultaneously scouting the area. Great consideration was put into decreasing the number of unnecessary transformations.

GUNDAM FENICE RINASCITA: ARMAMENTS

Buster Rifle Custom
The Beam Saber and the Handgun can be combined and placed on the bottom of the Buster Rifle. This gun possesses top class destructive power: at maximum particle supply, countless enemies can be wiped out in an instant. Its power is so great, however, that it can damage itself. If this happens, its energy is cut and the aforementioned maximum power blast becomes unusable. To compensate for this demerit, the other weapons on the bottom were added. Furthermore, thanks to Fellini's superior skills as a Fighter this weapon can actually exceed its specifications.

Beam Mantle
The shoulders can release beam mantles. Their primary use is defense. While the Fenice could only do this with its left shoulder, this machine can form a mantle with both. The Mantles are composed of Plavsky Particles, so even though they're beams it's possible to touch them. This allows for a variety of uses. For instance, the mantle could be wrapped around an arm to produce a punch with the strength of a beam, or it could be used to block enemy attacks. The size of the mantles can also be adjusted through adjusting its energy supply.

Buster Rifle
Inherited from the Wing Gundam's design concept, this beam rifle was based on the idea of a single, powerful strike. Thanks to a powerful sensor, it's very accurate. At the same time, unfortunately, its energy consumption rate is so high that it can only be used once per battle.

Handgun
This weapon can be combined with the Beam Saber to form a regular beam rifle. This combination can be placed on the bottom of the Buster Rifle. It's not very powerful, but it's capable of rapid fire so it's most effective in situations where the Buster Rifle is lacking. And in a setting where vast amount of enemies are present, both the Buster Rifle and the Handgun can be used at the same time.

Beam Saber
A beam saber with a broad blade. It can be combined with the Handgun into a beam rifle. In cases where shooting is ineffective, it can release its blade as a bayonet and be used for close ranged combat. It can be mounted onto the bottom of Flight Mode and still release its blade, presumably so the machine can cut a path through any obstacles or enemies while moving at high speeds.

Vulcans*
A gun mechanism built into the head. They're not very strong, but they have a wide range of uses such as intercepting missiles.

Machine Cannon*
A gun mechanism built into both shoulders. They're stronger than the one in the head, enough that they can actually be used in battle to shoot down enemy machines.
