ZGMF-2000 GOUF Ignited

The ZGMF-2000 GOUF Ignited is a mobile suit introduced in the anime Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny. Its most notable pilots are ZAFT ace pilots Heine Westenfluss and Yzak Jule. GOUF is an acronym for "Guardian Of Unity Forerunner".


GOUF Ignited was originally a candidate to be ZAFT's next-generation mass production MS, but lost to the ZAKU series. Development of the MS however continued due to its high performance, resulting in the ZGMF-X2000 GOUF Ignited which was then put into production when the main battlefield switches to earth and as the ZAKU's production lines reach their limit. The production type ZGMF-2000 GOUF Ignited is mainly used by commanders and elite/ace pilots, and seems to be identical to the ZGMF-X2000 GOUF Ignited except for the paint scheme.

Unlike the ZAKU series, GOUF Ignited does not utilize Wizard System and is instead equipped with a flight pack, granting it higher mobility and flight capabilities comparable to the AMF-101 DINN. The suit has both close and ranged combat armaments, but excels particularly in close combat. It is armed with 4-barrel beam guns mounted on its forearms, along with multi-purpose heat rods. In addition, a shield storing a double-edged beam sword can be mounted on its arm and some of the suits have also been seen carrying the 500mm recoilless rifle.
