Mechs, Weapons, and Technology of Code Geass

[KrimzonStriker]

A Cloaking field? Goes invisible at the blink of an eye!! Or a synchronization system that allows him to access controls in ally Knightmares and use them like a puppeteer, hell we can even have him hack into enemy mech's and use them as puppets as well while we're at it!!

add...more....cannons?



but i was wondering about that, i mean C.C. managed to escape, whether it was with Gawain or not is debatable, so it won't be far fetch if we see something similar to it, being pumped out by Laka, but called something different.

only difference is that it won't be "overpowered" as its already been surpassed by the ones used by the Knights of Round.

For one thing, I would improve its mobility, the Gawain was rather cumbersome in combat, not moving around much. Cornelia had an easy time hitting it, and it had a hard time fighting Orange-kun. But then I guess that can also be because it's larger than the average Knightmare...

As for giving it additional equipment, let's leave that to Rakshata and Sunrise to design
I only hope it (or whatever replaces it) remains a long range unit perfect for field command... no sense making Lulu's unit an "all around KMF", there's already the Lancelot for that...

Edit:
By the way, did the Gawain have those beam shields the Lancelot has? I don't recall it ever using such shields...

[Dann of Thursday]

Mobility would certainly be a good thing, but given that the Gawain is more of a commander unit than a combat oriented one like the Guren or Lancelot this would be unlikely to happen. I also don't think you could scale down its size given the technology present in the Gawain which seems to require it be larger.

I wouldn't expect any Knightmare Lelouch gets in the future to be close combat oriented. Ranged combat suits him more and it allows him to observe the battlefield and issue orders. Of course, we need something that can actually take the Lancelot down at some point.

No it had no such shields, though that would certainly be a welcome upgrade. The Mordred possesses such shields after all and aspects of it seem mimiced after the Gawain.

Of course, if Britannia retrieved Jeremiah than it might be possible the retrieved the Gawain as well though without C.C. there. Schneizal did say he wanted Zero tp test the unit for him so he could later get it back.

[ashlay]

give the Gawain some radiation wave emitters, that would probably be the best thing in terms of improving the unit. Lelouch and C.C. may not be able to use it to the level Kallen does, but at least it will provide them with a shield against Slash Harkens and whatnot.

As much as mobility is the key to the most powerful of robots, Gawain's size was really a charm point to it, it's best to leave it a somewhat crappy but also very interesting KMF when they upgrade to Lelouch's next unique ride.

[Dann of Thursday]

You mean equip it with one of those arms? Or do it in a way that works like a shield?

Well, it wasn't built for mobility so I can't really complain there. It did what it was supposed to do. I just hope they do the two seat cockpit again since it allowed someone who can actually pilot like C.C. while Lelouch could simply plan using the Druid system.

[aurr]

Can i ask what was the Druid system?

[KrimzonStriker]

An immense super computer that could even calculate runic data from Geass ruins, see, doesn't it fit Lelouch's style extremely well?

[Dann of Thursday]

Lelouch was using it to observe the entire battlefield and such. It's pretty much a souped up version of the data spheres regular Knightmares have.

dataspheres just collect data, they don't process it. Gawain's actually somewhat odd for being a Britannian KMF with absolutely no datashperes, (to the point where they had to hook it up to a Sutherland back in 19) it seems the idea is that it gets the majority of it's information from subordinate units. >_>

[Dann of Thursday]

So it works like some giant reciever and can process an entire battle situation by recieving info from other Knightmares?

yeah, well that's basically what a command unit is about.

it's the node that collects information from all the other units.

I think the Gawain must have at leased one data-sphere somewhere on it's body to scan and survey it's personal surroundings for personal safety.

but since it can integrate all the scanning and information from other data-spheres it can see the bigger picture of the battlefield, hence the druid system is "misused" to process this and send out orders to the units.

then again, you realise that even standard KMF have a universal data-screen that can act as a basic command link, probably a feature for team/group officers to use.

[Blue_Mercy]

I couldn't decide to put this in the spoiler or weapons section, but since I don't think Code Geass will re-use the idea of a 2 seater knightmare. Are C.C.'s piloting skills good enough to make her a front line knightmare pilot?

Her piloting skills were high enough for Schneizel to initiate a secret super soldier program based on her data alone, so...yeah, pretty much.

C.C. may very well be comparable to Suzaku, who's piloting abilities are also based on odd circumstances.

[KrimzonStriker]

Which goes back to my theory that Suzaku may have been a part of the similar transformation as Jerimiah was, hence a connection to Geass even though he doesn't have one, only better and may also explain the skills other members of the Knights as well...>_>

it would have something to be through V.V. though, not Schneizel's side businesses. FO/FY already confirmed Suzaku wasn't some sort of sakuradite superweapon.

[KrimzonStriker]

Well yeah, I figure good ol'Charles could probably pull it off a bit better with V.V at his side >_>

Did they use Sakuradite on Jerimiah, I'm not sure?

[Dann of Thursday]

We don't know exactly what was done to Jeremiah. I am hoping we get some sort of fuller explanation on the Code-R project and exactly what they were doing to her. I know they were doing the research with the main idea finding out what made her immortal.

And I think the two seater cockpit works. She was doing a pretty good job handling it while Lelouch took care of strategy.

That works for me, since this season is going to have "alot more battles" according to Taniguchi I hope we get to see plenty of Kallen and C.C. kicking some ass.

[Dann of Thursday]

Kallen kicking ass is a given. For C.C. to do such a thing requires her to actually have a Knightmare and I seem to recall that with the exception of episode 1 of R2, she never piloted a Knightmare outside of the Gawain where Lelouch could keep an eye on her. I don't really think he would just let her go into combat by herself for some reason, though that is just my interpretation.
