The XXXG-00W0 Wing Gundam Zero was the first Gundam designed in the AC Era, and was the only one of its kind over fifteen years before the five pilots and their Gundams would ever take the war against the Earth Alliance and OZ.
The Wing Zero came to be in existence, several years after the five scientist developed the first Mobile Suit...the Tallgeese. The Tallgeese was the pinnacle of human design and achievement, however, it would be used by power-hungry people as a tool for their own designs. And those individuals were part of the ruling military arm of the Earth Alliance.
When the five scientists discovered the actions of the Alliance, they decided to get justice for the Colonies by creating another Mobile Suit, with the Power needed to surpass the
Tallgeese. They used their combined knowledge and used the latest alloy ever designed in the conditions of deep space...Gundanium.
Gundanium alloy was virtually indestructible and could withstand all the known arsenals of the Alliance. Gundanium however was very expensive to manufacture, and considering that they all didn't have the funding and material to mass produce Gundanium, they knew that their creation would defeat the Alliance and the Tallgeese with no problems, as the Tallgeese was only made of Titanium at the time of its conception. And they were the only ones who knew the manufacturing process of the alloy.
Thus was born the Wing Zero, and considering the sheer magnitude of its design and arsenal it was truly a devastating weapon. In addition to being totally manueverable, it also had the "Neo Bird" Mode, granting the transforming Wing Zero immense speed in both zero gravity and atmospheric combat. Along with its deadly wing mounted gattling cannons, beam sabers, and shoulder mounted machine cannons, the Wing Zero possessed the most devastating weapon ever wielded by a Mobile Suit... the Twin Buster rifle, a devastating double beam rifle that could even destroy Colonies when bonded, and when separated, could destroy entire waves of targets. It was said that, the beam rifle was so powerful, that the beam can ionize gaes near it, thus able to destroy targets even not directly shot by the beam.
The ultimate feature of the Wing Zero however, which totally set it apart from the Mobile Suits of its time was the "ZERO" (Zoning & Emotional Range Omitted) combat computer/pilot interface system in its cockpit. This new weapon could merge with the mind of the pilot, though how was not completely known, it was said to sample a pilot's thoughts and grant him/her the knowledge and skills to achieve total victory...or total defeat. Essentially, this system could feed literally billions of combat information to the pilot, and present various scenarios and outcomes, which the pilot could choose from, depending on his/her frame of mind.
Ironically, this devastating feature which was the Wing Zero ultimate strength was also the Gundam's ultimate weakness, as the pilot of the Wing Zero had to be of great mental and emotional endurance to handle the full power of the ZERO system. The scientists knew that any normal pilot exposed to ZERO system could become totally unstable and become a 'berserker' unable to tell the difference between friend and foe.
With that in mind, the designs of the Wing Zero were divided, and the Wing ZERO project was officially discontinued by the five scientists, who then decided to created their own personal Gundams based on the blue-prints for their still existing plan to defeat the Earth Alliance and OZ. Thus the first Gundam existed only in computer schematics and paper.
In AC 195 Gundam Sandrock pilot Quatre Raberba Winner, who was driven nearly insane because of the past events, finally built the Wing Zero and wanted to use it to destroy his enemies in space. He easily destroyed all mobile suits which attacked him and even destroyed a whole space colony with only one shoot from his buster rifle. Later the Wing Zero was passed on until it fell into the hands of Zechs Merquise and finally Heero Yuy.
The Wing Zero played a valuable part in the final stages in the war as with its abilities and that of its pilot Heero, allowed it to destroy the fragment of the White Fang Battle Station Libra which was in a collision course on Earth.
After the war the Wing Zero and the other Gundams were sent to the sun but due to the rising of the Mariemaia Army, the Gundams were recovered and used against Mariemaia and her army. Heero used the Wing Zero to first fight against Wufei Chang, who joined the Mariemaia Army and later used the buster rifle to destroy the base of the Mariemaia Army in Berlin. But due to the damage in took in the previous fight, the Wing Zero was finally destroyed after it fired the third shot on the headquarter.
Besides the obvious visual differences between the "TV version" and "movie version" of the Wing Zero, there were a few relevant technical differences; the movie version could not transform into "Neo Bird Mode" since the wings were different and it lacked a shield. The beam sabers were mounted differently in the movie version, also. The armament, however, was mostly unchanged from TV to film, though the film version had fewer of the relatively inconsequential vulcan guns.
