Ultimate attacks: Campo Elettrico, Colpo di Lampo

Campo Electrico (Electric Field): The tesla coils charge and form a large electric field around the Volta. Using this, the Volta can block most physical attacks (bullets, fists, etc.) but is unable to attack with any ranged weapons. So, to compensate for this, the Volta charges at high speed to ram the opponent with the electric field. The Campo Electrico requires a fairly long recharge time after use (6 posts).

Colpo di Lampo (Lightning Bolt Blow): The tesla coils on the Volta's shoulders charge up quickly, creating large sparks of electricity to arc between them. When Giovanni is ready, the Volta shoots out hundreds of large bolts of electricity at the enemy, which home in on the enemy mobile fighter due to the MF's tall and metallic stature.

History:

Like all mobile fighters, the Volta Gundam was made with it's pilot in mind. However, unlike the other countries, every single piece of the Volta Gundam was made the traditional Italian way: Hand made. This way, the Volta Gundam and it's weapons were made with the highest precision and skill. The finest Italian leather is tastefully inlaid in the operating panels in the cockpit along with the warmest wooden panelling. The Volta has very thick hand crafted armor, allowing the Volta to be practically immune to small weapons fire.

The Volta Gundam was named after one of Giovanni's idols: Count Alessandro Giuseppe Antonio Anastasio Volta, the inventor of the battery and was based around high voltage electric attacks. The Volta Gundam also has a selection of additional weapons based around those used by Giovanni in his military service.
