BTW, one thing that's struck me as odd for a bit - are there any other actual Gundams except the 00 Movie versions that don't have beam sabers in any form? Those are usually pretty much one of the inital distinguishing features that tells you you're looking at a gundam rather than a grunt suit (the other being the V-fin), since in the beginning of a gundam continuity no one else has them.
Are there any decent pictures available anywhere with the 00's shield in "shield mode"? The mounting angle of it on the arm is a bit awkward, and I'm hoping to figure out a decent pose with it for either my current HG kit or a possible second one... Cheers, SP |

Both energy blades and solid-state blades have their pros and cons over one another. However, in the 00verse, the solid-state blade is often more useful simply because it can cut through GN-Fields easier--this includes the fields present in GN-Composite Armor. It is, as Lockon said, anti-Gundam weaponry, and since season 2, Celestial Being's most dangerous enemy, the Federation, utilizes GNMS as its mainstay weapon, hence the need for GN-Sword tech.
Never mind the sheer power present in the Condenser blade as shown in the GN-Sword III, it was only logical for CB to concentrate on developing that line of technology. Besides, there's really not much else you can do for beam sabers to develop them further; the Reborns Gundam is likely the pinnacle of such technology when it comes to practical application (Raiser Sword is not very practical, which is why I'm not including it here).

Also we should take this to the tech thread before we get yelled at by Gundam's non-existent moderators.
