A lone starfighter speeds into the Earth's atmosphere past an OZ patrol. Giving chase, the OZ transport dispatches one Lieutenant Zechs in a Leo suit and a few Aires to destroy it. Meanwhile, Relena Dorlan witnesses the event while returning to Earth from the orbiting colonies with her father, Defense Minister Dorlan, a member of the Earth Sphere Alliance. Zechs easily dispatches the starfighter with his beam cannon - or so it appears. The starfighter then transforms into a mobile suit made of Gundanium, or otherwise known as a Gundam! The Gundam destroys the two Aires with one shot. Zechs then dives in to hold up the Gundam, sending it crashing into the sea. Zechs, meanwhile, parachutes to safety. Arriving on Earth, Relena forgoes following her father to an alliance meeting to walk home herself. Walking past the local Marina base, she witnesses a cargo plane take off, heading to the place where the Gundam crashed to salvage it. As she looks out over the ocean, something catches her eye - a body! She runs down to the figure, only to find a young man in a military uniform. While he is unconscious, she calls for an ambulance. Meanwhile, Lietenant Zechs reports the presence of Gundams on Earth to Colonel Treize Kushrenada, member of OZ. Kushrenada then reports this development to an alliance council. Meanwhile, the young man wakes up as the ambulance arrives. He then attacks the medics who get out to help them and steals the ambulance, driving into the sunset. At the same time, 4 other Gundams and their pilots are wreaking havoc across the globe, destroying multiple Earth Sphere Alliance installations and troops. This brings the total to 5 Gundams on Earth. After this, Relena returns to her school from her trip to space, where she is the friend of every student. A new student then arrives - the boy she saw on the beach! He introduces himself as "Heero Yuy", then sits at the desk next to Relena. After school, Relena gives Heero an invitation to her birthday party, which is tomorrow. He rips it up. As Releena starts to cry, he wipes the tear from her eye, then parts with the words, "I'll destroy you." Relena wonders who this mysterious man is.....
This advanced mobile suit was created by a resistance group at the L1 colony cluster for the sole purpose of battling Oz. The Wing Gundam can transform into a winged "bird mode" superior to any conventional fighter plane; in this form, it can survive re-entry and fly in Earth's atmosphere. Its primary weapon is the buster rifle, an immensely powerful beam weapon which can be fired only three times before its energy supply must be recharged. For close-range combat, the Wing Gundam relies on its shoulder-mounted machine cannons and the beam sabers stored in its shield.
Designed fifteen years ago - but never actually constructed - by the same scientists who sent the five Gundams to Earth, this immensely powerful mobile suit is the ancestor of all the Gundams. Whereas the five later Gundams were made for use on Earth, the Wing Gundam Zero is designed for space combat. It can transform into a "neo bird mode," and is armed with a twin buster rifle more than twice as powerful as that of the Wing Gundam. With its superb performance and immense firepower, this antique design would surely be the ultimate Gundam... were it ever built.
