Notes: This test model Kuwagata was constructed early in the line's development to test its targeting computer's ability to handle different weapon systems adequately. Though pictured with a machinegun, the Prototype was also tested using beam rifles, bazookas, sniper rifles, shields with mounted weapons, and any other weapons the development team could acquire. The prototypes were never meant to be sent into combat as they were built with only enough thrusters to move them from one test site to another and substandard armor materials. The remaining prototypes are now used only to test new handheld weapons.
