Right after Gundam Kyrios Gust, Gundam Sadalsuud, Gundam Avalanche Exia & Gundam Throne Eins Turbulenz Gunpla kit, we now have the latest mobile suit variation from Gundam 00V; GN-004/te-A02 Gundam Nadleeh Akwos.
The first thing that came to my mind when I saw it was ‘weird’. As you can seen from the picture above, it’s wielding a giant gundam head as a sword (the V-fins closes upwards & a cover slides down to cover the eyes | see last image for illustration)

Other than this quirk mentioned above, the Akwos is basically Nadleeh clad in light armour & has a ‘gladiator’ feel to it.
*Added on 24th Sep: Below is an initial raw translation for the Akwos by iron2000:
This Akwos addon parts is made to boost the area of influence of the Trial System effect to 10 times.
Apparently it was not roll out because, in the end Veda was taken over and the Trial System can’t be used.
Mechanical Specifications
Type: Trial System boosting equipped machine
Overall height: 18.7m
Overall Weight: 57.3t (Akwos equipment weight 3.3t)
Armaments:
GN Mask Sword x1
GN Shield x1
GN Beam Saber x2
Affliation: Celestial BeingDefinition of “Akwos”
“Akwos” means head in Navaho language. Nadleeh is spirit/fairy in Navaho language.Model Number
“te” stands for “Trial Enhancing”, “A02″ stands for AKWOS type unit 2. Unit 1 stopped development at the prototype phase, currently not existing.Trial Blade Antenna
Trial System boosting antenna at the arms and legs. Cannot be used as weapons or shield in battle, its more fragile compared to the other parts. The connection at the base is moveable thus able to adjust the direction of the influencce area.GN Mask Sword
In addition to being a big sword, it is an equipment with Trial System control functions. With the Sword in the GN Shield and the Shield on Nadleeh’s back and the Gundam face open and the blades of the sword split, it ensures the maximum possible influence range of the Trial System
The above translation by iron2000 certainly helped explain the questions we have and better understand the abilities of this MSV (Gundam Nadleeh Akwos).
*Note: the above explanation on Akwos by iron2000 had some edits; the information on the scans were not fully translated because they were too small, making them illegible/hard to read. Hence, these were omitted from the translation, other than these the translation by iron2000 remains all most the same as it was done by him.
Creative fanarts & speculation of what potential “gattai” would look like if it really happen:
Gattai 1
Gattai 2
“Fortress Maximus”-like combination between Servaee & Ptolemaios
Could this GN Mask Sword used by Gundam Nadleeh Akwos explain & give hint to the true purpose/function of the hidden ‘Giant Gundam head’ mounted at the back of Gundam Seravee? But still it doesn’t quite answer the burning question in everyone’s mind right now, ‘Is this Giant Gundam Head gonna be used for a Gattai’ between the 4 CB Mobile Suits?
What are the views & assumptions that you all have in mind after seeing the Gundam Nadleeh Akwos?
appreciated!!

@gundam-4-eva,
I think i get what you’re referring to, the top of the head portion.
@Aulon,
I have to agree it looks great, better than Nadleeh which seems butt-naked. though it would be better if they remove those ‘antennas’
@Kei, deathscythe
yes, ‘gattai’ does seem very ‘un-gundam-like’. I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

gundam gattai 1&2…they look so ridiculously funny.like a mix of transformer(on gattai 1)or macross(on gattai 2)or something like that.and they look so pretty ugly too,i think..L0L!XD

“…..Akwos is supposed to be this huge radio-set with adjustable antennaes? ”
I LOL’d hard!!!
Agreed, all this bullshit w/ GN swords is quite annoiyng….
and arios gundam transforms into a huge orange sword!!! hehe
the lack of creative weapons is really serious….

Yeah man, what’s with the whole fixation with huge Gundam faces? And can’t they come up with something more creative than just sword armaments for Akwos?
Avalanche Exia already has its fair share of swords, so why is Akwos also holding a sword as well? So now Akwos is supposed to be this huge radio-set with adjustable antennaes? What’s next, it’s gonna transform into a radio like TF’s Shockwave? LOL

BUT BUT…WHY THE HELL must it to be a gundam head?! I mean, why a gundam head? is it any fixation for gundam heads? or is it simply what kamina(from TTgurren lagann) used to say: “cuz two heads are better than a single one.”
yeah, ganmens on Gundam00 haha
gattai would make more sense on getting a gundam head on seravee’s backpack.(althought i’d think gattai is quite “unfit for gundam”)….or who knows, any seravee transformation into a bigger mobile suit…..
but a sword w/ a gundam mask?….hah…
