A mysterious mobile fighter, the JDG-010 Devil Gundam Jr. was apparently developed on its own from a collection of DG cells that were left behind by the original JDG-00X Devil Gundam. Although much smaller than its “father,” the Devil Gundam Jr. retained all of the original’s brutal power. Its primary ranged weapon, much like the original, was a mega devil flasher mounted in its chest. Additionally, the Jr. could rapidly spread its DG cells and infect other living matter. However, the Jr. also featured several deadly new abilities that its predecessor lacked. One such feature was its four Deva King bits. These four pods, typically stored on the machine’s spiked legs, could detach and transform into half imitations of the Devil Gundam’s Four Heavenly Kings. Each bit focused on one of the Four Kings, sprouting the Gundam Heaven’s Sword‘s wings and claws, the Grand Gundam‘s horns, the Walter Gundam‘s tentacles, or the upper body of the GF13-001NHII Master Gundam. Additionally, the Jr. could perform a sort of mental attack on its enemies, but this required its core life unit to have psychic abilities.
