ZGMF-X42S Destiny

This is the second Gundam given to Shinn Asuka, it is also the counter-part of Legend. Legend was to be given to Athrun Zala, but he declined, instead escaped, got shot, but survived and rescued.

Destiny was pretty damaged by Athrun Zala, when Destiny and Infinite Justice clashed. Shinn was way more inferior, so he lost to Athrun.

The Gundam Destiny was pretty cool. Just by looking at the features, you can say it's one of the powerful Gundams in the Seed series. Too bad it went to the hands of Shinn Asuka, a weak pilot, just powered-up by anger itself.

ZGMF-X56S Impulse

Here's the first Gundam of Shinn Asuka:

ZGMF-X56S Impulse, the Gundam that was given to Lunamaria afterwards. It's like a resemblance of the Strike of Kira Yamato.

This Gundam is actually great. That is, if only the pilot is also good. I wish I have one like this.
