It can only fight for two hours before it needs a recharge, less if it utilizes the absolute zero cannon mounted in its chest (which consumes 40% of its energy supply with each shot). Equipment includes mouth-mounted twin Type 90 maser cannons, two wrist-mounted dual laser cannons, dual backpack missile launchers, each side with six rockets and eight heat-seeking missiles, and two wrist-mounted electric blades. The backpack can be ejected explosively, usually once the missile supply is exhausted.
