Redesigned for the OVA, the Wing Zero is by far the most visually changed of the five Gundams from the series to Endless Waltz. Many of the red- and yellow-colored pieces of armor have been recolored blue, to give Wing Zero an overall white and blue motif. The armor mounted on Wing Zero's arms is redesigned as well, and the overall body sports a more streamlined "thin" appearance less bulky than its appearance in the series. The largest difference is by far the back booster system, the Wing Zero's "wings" in other words. Instead of twin modules that can split into two, the Wing Zero Custom has stunning angel like wings that give it nothing short of an ethereal presence. These angel wings are split into roughly four sections, but there are times the wings seem almost biomechanical, moving in more natural ways as opposed to mechanical bending, although this could merely be an illusion given off by the already eye catching design. Besides the obvious visual differences between the television series and Endless Waltz versions of the Wing Zero, there were a few relevant technical differences: the movie version could not transform into "Neo Bird" Mode since the wings were different and lacked a shield. However, the wing modules contained dozens of miniature vernier thrusters within them, giving the Wing Zero unparalleled combat maneuverability; even more so than the television version. The wings were also heat-shielded to enable the Wing Zero to achieve planetary re-entry under its own power (claims that the wings could also be used as defensive shields have yet to be conclusively proven). The beam sabers were also mounted differently in the movie version. The armament, however, was mostly unchanged from TV to film, though the film version had fewer of the relatively inconsequential vulcan guns. It is still unknown to most fans where the Wing Zero Custom holds the buster rifles when not in use; it has been suggested that the wings may hold them. It is unknown where it got the rifles when it appears during the battle at Mariemaia's base. The "Endless Waltz" manga does attempt to address this issue by showing the twin buster rifle being stored on the back of the suit, just between the wings. Thus, the twin buster rifle is always carried with the mobile suit "within reach," and also explains how the suit came to have the twin buster rifle when it destroyed Mariemaia's Base.
