■ Trailer #2
■ Synopsis
Having distinguished themselves in the bloodshed surrounding Arbrau’s leadership struggle after escorting Kudelia Aina Bernstein to earth, the fame of Mikazuki Augus’s Tekkadan has grown. With their defeat of Gjallarhorn, their world has begun to change, slowly but surely.
The Halfmetal claim received during negotiations with Arbrau, and a formal alignment with Teiwaz, has led to newfound fortune and a steady stream of fresh recruits; enough even to establish a base on Earth.
Meanwhile, Kudelia, having learned much from her journey to Earth, establishes the Admoss Company. Its goal: to establish Mars’s economic independence. However, not everyone’s interests align with their new path.
As Admoss Company explores a new vein of Halfmetal, Orga Itsuka, commander of the Tekkadan, learns of a raid on their mining operation. Under Orga’s command, the Tekkadan, Mikazuki, and his mobile suit Gundam Barbatos Lupus once again march to war...

■ Mecha
[Left] Gundam Gusion Rebake Full City
Just like the Barbatos, the heavily-damaged Gusion has been rebuilt by Teiwaz. Its head camera sensors, specialized for long-range sniping, still feature the opening face; meanwhile, its weapons loadout has added more weapons suitable for combat from a distance.
[Right] Shiden
A mass-produced, general-purpose version of Teiwaz’s Hyakuri and Hyakuren. Featuring a balance of mobility, combat effectiveness, and versatility, its inexpensive construction makes it standard issue for their Tekkadan mercenaries.

A heavy adaptation of the Rodi frame, which was used in large numbers through the middle parts of the Calamity War/ Its frame’s versatility lets it strike a balance between mobility and durability.
