Gundam 00 Mecha, Weapons, and Technology

[Rising Dragon]

GN-Particles do everything.

In all seriousness, we don't know. It will likely get explained somewhere down the line.

If you would look at the pic, the two kinda look alike with the fang containers and stuff plus it shows that giant wings on turblenz is like some sort of add-on unit which is why I pointed it out because the Arche could get something like that too.

[RAVNEN]

I think those weird Turbulenz look-a-like backpack might give Arche Gundam ability to transform into a MA. Hopefully it does,so Ali can run again when things turn worse for him.

[Aquaman OS]

If it had a MA mode he would have approached in it in ep 7. Ali has enough toys as it is.

[kakakka]

I can't help but look at those two Haro's (RAVNEN's and Bad wolf's avas)

Anyway, my thoughts on Arch Gundam's backpack is that it is either a container of GN-Fangs or some sort of additional limb (arms)...

Sunrise won't let it happen,it is too early in episode.Maybe around ep 13 or 15 Ali show & educate us what those weird backpack can really do.

Can anyone translate what it says on these pages of the 1/100 00 Gundam manual here?

00 Gundam Mechanics

Especially interested in part C.

[Ottocycle]

Well the clavicle is the collarbone, so it refers to the two yellow antennae that have always been placed on the collar of the previous suits. The manual says that the antennae has a GN-particle-controlling function, but since the Twin-Drives may snap them in it's rotation, their size has been reduced and the collar ones have been slaved to the ones on the head, making the head's antennae the main ones.

Anyway,
A: Twin Drive - Nothing we don't know, except for the fact that the Astraea's and the other 2nd gen's Three Thruster feature on their drives are on the 00's.
B: GN Condenser - Set on the joints, they concentrate particles and allow them to be released in bursts. Specially made ones are on the 00 since it has far extra power.
C: Clavicle Antenna - as above.
D: Drive Arm - GN Drive supports extended from shoulder. Nothing really interesting.
E: Backpack - Acts as a propulsion system.

EDIT: LZ is too fast.

GN-0000 00 Gundam

With combination of 0 Gundam and Exia's GN Drive, the only MS with Twin Drive

Using the same concept 'Rebirth through destruction' like the tv series, the new generation of Gundams (meaning the Exia etc) are designed with such thoughts in mind. In the Second Season, the mecha designs also add new experimental designs. Many of the Gundam's characteristics from the First Season such as chest orb, no mark in the mask, the cone on the back, and energy cords over the body are abandoned. To reject former designs and then come up with new designs, it fits with the season catchphrase 'Destroy This Rebirth'.

Mechanism

A. Twin Drive System
2 Solar Furnace equipped on both shoulders. They are from 0 Gundam and Exia. Twin Drive is usable when 2 original Solar Furnace synchronize, release not double, but squared amount of GN Particles. The improved version of Solar furnace standard Cone type is used. It now has the same function of thruster type from the Second Generation Gundams such as Astraea.

B. GN Condenser
GN Condensers are built in various joints, and able to store GN Particles, and also release a huge amount of them at once. In Twin Drive's case, since a huge amount of GN Particles are released, specially designed high specs GN Condensers are used.

C. Clavicle Antenna (?)
Antenna used to control GN Particles. Normally equipped on chest, however, it might interfere with 00's movable Twin Drive system. So the antennas are minimized and built onto the head instead. The chest's antenna are built as support.

D. Drive Arm
Arms used to support Twin Drive, can move the Drives to front, sides and back, changing the function of the Drives. Sides is the standard mode, back for thrusting power from GN Particles, front for Field effect.

E. Back Pack
Equipped on the back where Exia and the 3rd Gen Gundams mounted their GN Drives on. The backpack has a new function where it can also uses GN Particle for thrusting power

[LoweGear]

You guys are the best, thanks

I've always thought the yellow part on the V-fin and the white antenna had the same function, and glad that to be true. And the things on the backpack really are thrusters :lol:

If you guys don't mind... can you also take a shot at this second page, covering the GN Sword II and GN Shield? Would be very much appreciated

And for another interesting revelation regarding Mr. Bushido's Custom Ahead:



So the ponytail does plug into the beam katana...

I'm pretty sure if Setsuna saw that, he'd be able to easily figure out who "Mr. Bushido" really is.

[LoweGear]

B&W Lineart detail for Gadessa, Arche Gundam and Trilobyte

Spoiler for Lineart:

Better view of the Bushido Ahead's beam saber connection:

[RAVNEN]

Hopefully those Beam saber connection give Bushido a broad beam saber similar to Epyon beam saber.

It would make Setsuna sweat even more.

[Halibel-sama]

It's probably just so the beam saber won't have to recharge.

But it would be cool if it did what Epyon did... and then cut a space fortress.

[LightningZERO]

That;s really unexpected. I thought the pony tail is just for show

[duotiga]

there is always something new for 00 MS

[RAVNEN]

I'm still wondering why the ponytail connect the beam saber into Bushido Ahead head. Strange design indeed.
