SDU-001 Vaporsynth

"You've done nothing but hurt me,.....that's all you're ever good for....who cares if you die?! You never helped me, and you never cared for me.......SOME "FRIEND" YOU'VE EVER BEEN! -Melissa lashing out at Nadine during the end of the story(spoiler).

The SU(Soul Unit)-001 Moonflash is the titular mobile suit piloted by Melissa Destiny, the main protagonist of Mobile Suit Moon Flash. An experimental MS developed by the United States Armed Forces, the Moonflash was discovered and is now piloted by Melissa, serving as her primary means of defense against Nadine Smith.

During the end of the first half, the Moonflash is nearly destroyed when Drea overclocks its Soul Drive. As a result, it is captured by Erin James and reconfigured into an attack-use mobile suit, with Melissa having partially fused with its systems.

Technology and Combat Characteristics

In its normal state, the Moonflash has rather limited combat capabilities. Only when its Soul Drive is activated can the suit's full power be displayed. Its armor, composed of Lunar Metal, while durable, can be damaged or even destroyed with sufficient force, rendering the suit especially susceptible to kinetic weaponry. The suit is also equipped with thrusters, allowing it to fly at high speeds.

The Moonflash is quite powerful, especially in the "Hypermoon" stage, enabling it to engage and instantly destroy any MS in its vicinity, with the (possible) exception of the Gyanko.

Armaments

• Luna Phasers

Two miniature "weaponized particle accelerators(WPAs)", these are the Vaporsynth's main and only weapons. In the Hypermoon state, the beams are able to be manipulated into long streams.
