Stargazer, given enough time.

Mymenclave's translation says : "The incoming speed is closing in at 78 kilometres per second"

78 x 60 = 4680 (per minute)
4680 x 60 = 280 800 (per hour)

280 800 km/h ?
WTF?

Probably because of those leg boosters it was wearing. Its normal speed is probably lower.

yea that is true

One of the speculations out there as to why Exia could not use Trans-Am is that one of Exia's GN Condensers(Which is where the GN Particles are stored) is stored in the left arm.In addition to this,Exia's immense state of disrepair for four long years might made it unsable.


Despite missing only one arm,more of Exia's Condensers could have been malfunctioning and a lack of particles might have made Trans-Am unsable.


Another possibility is a combination of Setsuna using it too late while Exia didn't have enough Condensers.What if Setsuna didn't had the intention to use it until the last few seconds of the battle?By that time,Exia has lost a leg and another arm.He wasn't doing too bad till then,but unfortunately Trans-Am wasn't available because Exia had lost more Condensers since they're one on each limb.


Nadleeh exiting Trans-Am in 24/1 is because it ran out of particles and since there's a Condenser in the arm,losing it shorten Trans-Am.Plus,most of it's Condensers were stored in Virtue's armor.


Kyrios was probably able to use it in 25 because it probably didn't place it's Condensers in an external armor that it wasn't wearing,plus Kyrios hasn't use Trans-Am then so whatever Condenser it had might had might be fsorta full,while Nadleeh has it activated so less usage.But Kyrios probably had less Trans-Am time due to it having less Condensers due to a missing arm and leg.And probably unlike Exia Repair which had been close to scrap metal in the last four years maintained by a former Kurdish Guerilla fighter,but Kyrios's paint and smell was probably still fresh except for the battle damage since the last time it was in the hanger being well maintained by an expert wasn't so long ago.

oh ok thx a lot for the info was really useful

[Double 120%]

The fact it was hit by a giant asteroid busting beam might have had something to do with it.

Just a quick question, how come O gundam's GN drive has such a capability of emitting that beautiful pattern of GN particles when Setsuna saw it? Exia dynames and the rest did not seem to be able to do so.
Only when 00 made its debut i saw something similar, something that only the twin drive system is capable of.

While this hasn't been confirmed, the most probably theory is that the O Gundam is just that inefficient at using its GN Drive. Basically, since it doesn't seem to have technologies like GN Condensers and other GN-based tech, its GN Drive is basically emitting more GN Particles than the O Gundam uses, and so just vents out the excess. The 2nd Gen and beyond Gundams have more systems that use GN particles, and so can utilize the maximum output of the GN Drive instead of simply wasting it.

I wonder how long it took them to accelerate it to that speed without killing the pilot?

[Tokkan]

... That's quite the hyperbole because it's no where near the speed of light. For starters, the speed of light in kilometres per second is 299,792.458, which is far more than 78.

yeah my bad I just remembered speed of light is 300,000 Km per second NOT hour

And to brake?

But the pilot's an Innovator. While being advanced humans, their bodies might have been augmented to withstand extreme xlr8tion and sudden brakes.


Just my take.

How about Zanspine and Deep Striker?

[Knight_SV]

i think that all the innovator having a same piloting skill as Tieria and they most likely too reliant on their advanced machine also IMO

Just finished watch ep 13 subbed and it really makes me wonder if an original GN drive is inferior compared to the Tau drives used by the innovators. We need a twin drive systems that is operating at peak condition to overwhelm the Gadessa and Garazzo.

Tau drive > original GN drive?

Its not the GN-Drive that makes up the suit. There's other factors to it.

Just because they shown the Twin GN Drive beating Gadessa and Garazzo, does not mean that tau drive are superior. Who knows, maybe in a later episodes it may show that. For one thing, you have to factor experience, environmental, knowledge, time, weapons kind, usage, way it used, strategy, effects, as some.

[LightningZERO]

Maybe GN Drive Tau can produce higher energy output compared to the true GN Drive, but the power runs out fast as a result? Even in Season 1, the Thrones spot more advanced and powerful weapons than the Gundams

[LoweGear]

According to the Mechanics artbook, there isn't a whole lot of significant difference between the GN Tau Drive's and the GN Drive's power outputs, the only real difference is that the Tau Drives run out.

Besides, while the Throne's weapons seemed powerful, compared to the abilities of the 3rd Gen Gundams they're actually pretty weak. The Throne Eins' Hyper Mega Launcher, even at full power surely wasn't as powerful as the Virtue GN Bazooka's Burst mode... and the former needed 3 GN Drive Taus to perform that shot.
