Ultimate attacks:
“Tossing the Caber” (both modes) - The Gundam grabs its opponent's feet and tosses the enemy into the air.
“Bear Hug” (normal mode) - The Gundam latches onto its opponent while the mines are still attached to its baldric. It then detonates them all simultaneously at point-blank range. Great care must be taken while executing this manuver to avoid damage to the enemy's cockpit and the resulting disqualification.
“Wrath of the Clans” (Fury mode) - Almost all of the Gundam's power is diverted to the beam Claymore, extending the length of the blade and widening it as well. The Gundam then attacks.

Appearance and History:
The Claymore, a big, burly Gundam, was designed with heavy armor and physical strength in mind. It achieved these goals at the cost of speed. To correct that fault, the Claymore was given a high-speed, high-output “Fury Mode” to allow it to keep up with a high-performance foe in a pinch.

In its normal mode, the Claymore Gundam is modeled on the traditional uniform of the Highland Regiment of the British Army. Picture this guy roboticized, but with a more muscular, broad-shouldered build. The feather in the cap is replaced with a v-fin. The tartan is replaced with that of Clan MacAlpin. In Fury Mode, the heavily armored “jacket” is ejected, revealing a bare, muscled chest (like the Maxter) with the words “Remember the Death of Alpin” written across it, and power is rerouted in order to boost the speed of the Gundam and allow the use of the Beam Claymore.

The Claymore Gundam is Neo-Scotland's first testbed for beam technology, converted into its current form late in the design process from an original, non-beam capable prototype. As such, it only carries two simple beam weapons, and only one of these is really effective. The armament of the Claymore Gundam plays off of the fact that three distinct weapons have been called by the name “Claymore”: a basket-hilted sword, a two-handed broadsword, and an anti-personnel mine. Neo-Scotland's new Gundam is equipped with MS-sized versions of all three. It may also carry an experimental beam musket, which fires a broad, powerful beam, but is inaccurate and requires an incredibly long recharge time between shots.
