* EmpoweredBadassNormal: Iago's a decent pilot and he has developed minor Newtype abilities, but they're about on the level as the White Base crew at the end of the Original Gundam; i.e. able to tap into the psychic communication that Newtypes have, but recieving little to no enhanced combat from it.

* AwesomeButImpractical: As always, the Beam Magnum. Okay, the ability to fire a beam so powerful it can take out a suit with a near-miss is pretty impressive. But it still pays for it with a five-shot magazine. And it destroys the suit's arm with every shot.

But it still pays for it with a five-shot magazine. And it destroys the suit's arm with every shot. This is particularly impractical because at this point, Banagher is a skilled enough pilot that he can probably do more damage with a normal beam rifle rather than the five shots the Magnum allots him. But it's ''so awesome''.
