A continuation of the League Militaire’s Victory Project launched during the Zanscare War, the LM312V06 Victory Gundam Hexa was an upgraded version of the original LM312V04 Victory Gundam. The Hexa was virtually the exact same mobile suit as the original Victory type, the only notable difference being a more sophisticated and sensitive sensor suite and communications system in the head. The Victory Gundam Hexa was distinguished from the original model by its lack of the traditional Gundam V-fin on the head, and the addition of two large “rabbit-ear” type communications antennae. The Victory Hexa was originally produced in limited numbers for use by squad leaders and field commanders, but the model later phased out the original Victory Gundam, becoming one of the League Militaire’s mass produced frontline units used by many of its pilots.
