Gundam 00 Characters and Mobile Suits

From Gunota Headlines:

Famitsu.com put up coverage of Club EX, where Bandai introduced the main characters and Gundams for Gundam 00 and had some Gunpla (display only for now) to show off.

GN-001 Gundam Exia
Head height: 18.3m
Base weight: 57.2 tons
“Because of the GN particles eminating from the GN Drive within the unit, it has astounding mobility and near infinite energy. Compared to currently-in-use MS, it introduces a great deal of high technology.”
Famitsu’s write-up indicates this MS has 7 blades.

Setsuna F. Seiei
16-years-old
“Fated boy soldier born & raised in the war-torn Middle East’s Kurdis Republic. A cool kid who hates getting close to others and keeps his feelings inside.”

GN-002 Gundam Dynames
Head height: 18.2m
Base weight: 59.1 tons
“Same as the other Gundams, equipped with a GN Drive. It’s emphasis is gun warfare. Has many guns suitable for missions and a GN Sniper Rifle as standard equipment.”

Lockon Stratos
24-years-old
“Decided to join Celestial Being after losing his parents because of terrorism. The eldest pilot and team leader.”

GN-003 Gundam Kyrios
Head height: 18.9m
Base weight: 54.8 tons
“Variable unit that can transform into a flight form. In its flight form, it has a rear arms container and can deal with every mission with versatility.”

Allelujah Baptism
19-years-old
“Spent his childhood as an orphan in the People’s Reform League. Usually gentle and quiet.”

GN-005 Gundam Virtue
Head height: 18.4m
Base weight: 66.7 tons
“Heavily armed type and has powerful weapons such as the GN Bazooka and GN Cannon. It expands the GN Field, covering itself with a barrier and has considerably high defense.”

Tierra Erde
?-years-old
“A boy with a rare kind of beauty, his history, nationality, and origins all a mystery. Within his gentle tone, he can give a sense of cold intentions.”

Now that I see more of these designs I’m just more disappointed. The Exia looks kinda cool but other than that the only other cool one is the chunky one: Gundam Virtue. Although much of the armor looks like it was lifted right off the Serpent Custom from Gundam Wing, I still like it.

I’m so tired of characters who are introduced by listing their cliches! I’m really disappointed that the character with the long purple hair turns out to be a femine looking guy rather than an actual female. That would have been refreshing but instead they went with another cliche. And these names are really lame. The pilot of the sniper MS is named “Lockon”?! This really feels like some lame US animated series for kids.
