Notes:
• Another early design produced by Getter Heavy Industries during the Earth Collapse Era, the GH-07AMS Aries was built expressly for aerial combat. Initially patterned as an offshoot of the flight system developed for the Leo as a fixed model, the design saw many changes and eventually was streamlined into it's own unit. Mounting a pair of large jet engine housings on its shoulders and aerodynamic control surfaces, the Aries (named after the first Zodiac sign meaning "ram") was fully capable of independent atmospheric flight. It was also Getter's first variable mobile suit/jet fighter, as its legs deployed for walking and folded up into its body for flight. The Aries could also be loaded with a limited number of chainrifles and missile pods on its external wing hardpoints.
