Gundam: Heavyarms Pilot
By revealing almost nothing about his past, the tight-lipped Trowa has earned his reputation as a man of mystery. Hailing from the L3 colony, he masterfully brought his Gundam Heavyarms to Earth without detection by disguising himself as a clown.
Although the strong, silent type, he is a warrior only by necessity and fights only when needed. Along with his acrobatic skills, Trowa is a skilled flutist.
XXXG-01H Gundam Heavyarms
Height 54 feet, 9 inches
Weight 7.7 tons
Armor Gundanium alloy
Main Weapons Beam Gatling Gun, Homing Missile Launcher
Trowa Barton pilots this Gundam, a heavy artillery juggernaut. The long list of the Gundam Heavyarms' weapons begins with its Beam Gatling Gun, a devastating piece of equipment that can reduce enemies to ribbons with a hail of firepower. The Gundam Heavyarms also has two smaller Gatling Guns mounted inside its chest cavity. On top of that, this Gundam is armed with two Machine Cannons, Homing Missile Launchers, Micro Missile Launchers, and two Vulcan Guns. While it is obviously better suited for long-range combat, the Gundam Heavyarms is also equipped with an "Army Knife" mounted on its right forearm for more "immediate" fighting situations. This Gundam is the slowest of the five original Project Meteor Gundams, but its lack of speed cannot be considered a debilitating weakness in light of its tremendous arsenal.

 The pilot of the gun-toting Gundam Heavyarms, the boy who calls himself Trowa is the most mysterious of the Gundam pilots. Calm, cool, and detached, he seldom speaks and never smiles. Trowa falls in with a traveling circus troupe as cover for his terrorist mission, finding employment as the world's most dispassionate clown. Trowa is a gifted and fearless acrobat, and these abilities also prove useful in his alternate occupation as a Gundam pilot.
Despite his youth, Trowa is an experienced professional soldier. His preferred combat tactic is to stand his ground and spray the battlefield with an endless hail of bullets, though every now and then he'll dispatch an enemy with his acrobatic trademark move - a midair triple spin, ending in a deadly knife slash.
Endless Waltz
Still touring the world with his traveling circus, as Endless Waltz begins this former guerilla warrior is content with his new life as an acrobatic clown. However, when the circus visits the space colony X-18999, Trowa's path once again crosses that of the Barton Foundation, and he is drawn into the gathering conflict. As he did in the war against OZ, Trowa infiltrates the enemy army to foil their evil schemes from within.
Secret History
Many mysteries of Trowa's past are revealed in Endless Waltz, including the origins of his borrowed name. Orphaned in infancy, he was raised by a mercenary troop, and by age 10 this nameless boy was already a skilled mobile suit pilot. On the eve of Operation Meteor, he witnessed the murder of the real Trowa Barton by one of Doctor S's assistants, and volunteered to take the dead man's name and pilot the Gundam Heavyarms in his stead.
