“Azure Fire” (hyper mode only) utilizing the particle wave system, the Excelsior can generate a field of charged particles around itself that add to its hand-to-hand attacks or can be focused into a single directed blast towards an opponent, however, because of the unstable nature of this attack, the pilot avoids using it for fear of causing harm to another fighter.

Gundam Fight ability points:

Hyper mode can only be achieved when the pilot and machine reach a state of emotional and physical resonance. At which point the coolant fins on the Excelsior’s back open to expel heat from the reactor in order to generate more power, which is split between the particle wave system and the Excelsior’s physical strength. This mode, however, decrees the Excelsior’s defenses.

History:
When the engineer, Zedrich Zeppelin was fired by Neo Germany for his radical design proposals and outlandish theories about machine/pilot synergy, he sought out a means of both getting back at his former employers and prove his theories. This personal vendetta lead him to Neo Liechtenstein, where he was able to convince a handful of government officials to help finance the construction of his unorthodox machine. Since there is nothing culturally specific included in the machine’s design, it wasn’t given a German name. Instead, Zedrich named it “Excelsior”, thinking that this name would capture the revolutionary nature of his creation.

Excelsior is built to capitalize on Cheoco’s mastership skills with a focus on its search capabilities. Also, to test the machine/pilot synergy theory, the Excelsior’s Trace system is equipped to tap into Cheoco’s emotional strength as a means of control in Hyper mode.
