This article is about a fictional weapon from the Cosmic Era timeline of the anime Gundam metaseries.

The TSX-MA717/ZD Pergrande, was a Prototype MA created by Azrael Financial Group(National Industrial Alliance) for the Earth Alliance. In Latin, the Pergrande means "huge", and indeed, this mobile armor was very big and powerful. It was equipped with an N-Jammer Canceller, and was thus able to be run on a nuclear fission reactor. The Pergrande also had a DRAGOON system, which allowed the unit to perform coordinated attacks from multiple vectors. Unlike a true DRAGOON system, which requred the abilities of one with heightened spatial awareness (regardless of being a coordinator or natural), the Pergrande's DRAGOON system utilized 3 operators (two remote units per operator), and a neural interface system that extracted maneuvering and attack data directly from the pilots' brainwaves.

Essentially there are 3 parts to the unit. One is the initial frame of the armor, the next is the cockpit areas for the three pilots (which can all be detached, but upon detaching communication is lost with one another), and finally the 6 detachable turrets.

It was destroyed by Blue Frame's Positron Cannon.
