XXXG-01H Gundam Heavyarms

The Gundam Heavyarms was built by Doctor S prior to Operation Meteor for that purpose. This mobile suit is perhaps the most well-armed of the Gundams. Covered in long-range weapons from it's beam gatling to it's micromissile pods, it is certainly an effective killing machine. It's only melee weapon is it's heat knife on the right arm. It is used in close combat. We also see it armed with a beam saber, but that was only in one episode (eps. 16) where Heero faces off with Zechs. This Gundam's original pilot was Trowa Barton, son of the mastermind of Operation Meteor, Dekim Barton, but Trowa was assasinated and a person who had no name took the mobile suit and Trowa's name.

The person with no name, calling himself Trowa Barton, goes to earth and attacks OZ's facilities with the other Gundam pilots. There it is disguised in a traveling circus group where Trowa works. It's then used to face off against Zechs in Antarctica and when the Gundams return to space, this Gundam is hidden by it's pilot and the whereabouts of the Gundam is unknown because Trowa had amnesia after his mobile suit, Vayeate, exploded in outer space.

The Gundam Heavyarms is a suit dependant on firearms. Also, since Trowa's tactic is to spray the battlefield with bullets to finish the enemy off, this Gundam runs out of ammo pretty quick! Then Trowa switchs to the Heat Knife to finish the enemy off. You can see this Gundam's trademark attack demonstrated in episode 15 on Inspector Acht, the triple knife spin.
