story

The futuristic city of Neotopia was a utopia where humans and robots coexisted and lived peaceful lives. However, one day, a sudden, inter-dimensional invasion by "Dark Axis" threatened that peace. Dark Axis is an evolved robotic lifeform that turns humans and animals into stone and attempts to plunder various robots and systems. The righteous combat unit "Gundam Force" stands up to this threat.

The members of Gundam Force are Captain Gundam, the latest combat robot from Neotopia; Winged Knight Zero, the Knight Gundam of Lacroix, which is under attack from Dark Axis; and Bakunetsumaru, a Musha Gundam from the Musha World of Tenmyou. Together with the boy, Shouto, they fight against enemies invading from across dimensions and strive to restore peace.

character

Captain Gundam is a special combat robot of SDG, a secret dimensional defense organization in Neotopia. He has a theoretical and inflexible personality, but when he meets Shouto, he shows his true power. Shouto is a 10-year-old boy living in Neotopia who becomes friends with the Captain and plays an important role in activating his Soul Drive. Winged Knight Zero is Lacroix's Knight Gundam, characterized by his elegant and graceful fighting style. Musha Gundam Bakunetsumaru is said to be the strongest among the young warriors of Tenkyu, and is charming for his hot-blooded and passionate personality.

In addition, many other unique characters appear, such as the heroine of the story, Sarah, the Captain's instructor Gun Biker equipped with an AI, and Gun Eagle, who protects the skies of Neotopia. The members of the enemy, Dark Axis, are also powerful and unique characters, such as Commander Sazabi, Zapper Zaku, and Grappler Gouf.

Main robot and items

The futuristic city of Neotopia is a peaceful town where humans and robots coexist, and is the headquarters of the secret dimensional defense organization SDG. SDG was formed in preparation for the attack of Dark Axis, and is the only organization allowed to be armed, and it deploys Captain Gundam. Captain Gundam fights using various optional equipment. For example, the Heavy Weapon Captain Gundam is a heavily armed type that can transform into Gun Vehicle Mode and climb tall towers. In addition, Captain Gundam Option V is capable of mid- to long-range support attacks and can also be used as a close-combat weapon as a V Rod.

Lacroix's Winged Knight Zero can combine with the Feather Dragon to become the Silver Winged Knight Zero Custom, and can use the super magic "Infinity Winds." Musha Gundam Bakunetsumaru can become Bakunetsumaru by donning the armor "Bakushin Armor" of Musashi Tenmaru, and can use the secret technique "Bakukai Tensho." These main robots and items evolve as the story progresses, entertaining the viewers.
