So far, each of the gundams seem to specialize in a particular area...
Exia, specializes in Melee
Dynamas, specialises in Sniping
Kyrios, specializes in hit and run attacks
Virtue, specializes in high powered, heavy artillery

GN-004 probably has a specialty itself
my intial guesses would be
-A suit the speicalizes in well balanced combat... the classic, sword, shield and rifle combo
-a stealth suit... light weapons but capable of cloaking to avoid being seen

In the photonovel, they said that the GN-000 O Gundam is the first generation of GN machines, GNY models (the prototypes of the GN models, the GNY-004 Plutone is included in this generation) are the Second Genaration and the GN Models (The 4 Gundams in the anime) are the 3rd Generation.

And in the manga, When Fon Spark insisted on using the GNY-004 Plutone instead of a mass produced GNY-001 Astrea, Chall Acoustica reacted. Probably because the machine has an unstable feature or there's something else. CB probably ceased the production of the GN-004 because of that reason.

that could be very true...
I haven't read the mangas but i have been looking up info on the gundams from the manga... from the manga's their is a prototype for both Exia (GNY-001) and Dynamas(GNY-002) and a prototype GNY-004... considering how the prototypes for both Exia and Dynamas have numbers that match the current generation verions, GNY-004 is most likely the prototype for whatever would become the GN-004
I'd also wager to guess that Virtue and Kyros also had prototypes with matching numbers

to keep themselves organized they would want the third generation of suits to have matching numbers with their prototypes... so even if they didn't build GN-004, Virtue would still be named GN-005 instead of being advanced to 004.

though the question remains... did the ever build GN-004 or did they scrap it during the prototype generation? it's very possible that they did build it, but have yet to find a suitable pilot for it... or perhaps that it's specialties lie somewhere other than the frontlines

this makes me think that GN-004, if it was indeed built, is either a high perfromance suit that puts an extremely high amount of stress on the pilot to the point where there is no one capable of handling the suit... or a suit the employs something like a Dragoon System, in that the system is actual to complexed for anyone to control and they have yet to develop and AI to compesate for the pilot's inability to control the weapons.

right now, i'm kinda thining that Exia is eventually gonna get destroyed somewhere down the line, and after that he's gonna end up getting his hands on GN-004 and come back stronger than ever, in the same fashion as a number of gundam heroes before him.

either that, or somebody in CB will turn out to be the real anagonist and he will be the one to use GN-004... i really doubt anyone outside of CB will be getting their hands on GN-004... maybe one of the ohter 4, but not the unseen one
