It wouldn't surprise me if it were, those photoshoppers are so fast these days. It's strangely similar to the peachy color of Linda Vashti's. But oh well... we'll see next week.

Spoiler for preview:

Shining Finger is forever. It shall always find new forms to kill new foes.

Actually, this "new" machine looks like a customized Gadessa--take note of the similar narrow legs, the red fins on the elbows, the large Chozo-style shoulder armor, and the identical GN-Drive[T] unit attached to its back.

Its a Gadessa, but someone pimped the hell out of that ride.

And exists solely to horrifically job to a 100% 00 Gundam.

"Customised" Gadessa is a bit inaccurate, as far as we know Gadessa is itself a custom unit. It just shares a similar frame to the Gadessa.

All the innovators are out to job. It can't be helped; Ribbons probably kept the best MS for himself.

Most likely Ribbons, given that Tieria was rather out of his mind enough to mention it by name last episode. A-Laws certainly knows Trans-Am exists since 4 years ago - they just needed a name for it.

"Variant" seems more appropriate here. But then again, who knows? It might really be a customized Gadessa.

I thoth that Gadessa are similar to Gundams they each looks like Gadessa just have different abilities?

They captured Al's Gundam 4 years ago minus the GN-drive. It is natural they would have taken everything they could in its software.

But Trans-Am is a system contained only in the GN Drive. No GN Drive = no Trans-Am info.

Well, compared to this one, the first Gadessa we saw looks pretty standard. With a standard name: GNZ-003 Gadessa. And then this comes along with spikes everywhere, and beam fingers, and god knows what else. Looks to me like a custom job.

I wonder what kind of suit Billy is building. If he can even compete to the innovators?

As I just got done saying, its not so much as "new" as it is a custom job or a variation of the Gadessa unit. Examine it a bit and you'll start to see the similarities between it and the Gadessa.

Or, given that the Gadessa is supposed to be the GNZ-003, that this might be either the 002 or 001, given that its main body looks similar save for the head, hands and shoulders. It's not like they can't manufacture them simultaneously you know

Also, the MS Billy is working on is the custom Ahead, just stripped of its armor. I'm guess it'll get upgraded some more.

Another possibility is that all Innovator MS are all customised variants of the Gadessa, or the Innovator MS are all custom variants of the same MS frame.

And it's black. Mister Bushido, the Dark Samurai.
Really can't wait for it.

Maybe it's going to look more like a Flag. Graham did tell Billy that he wants speed to be a priority.

Imagine if Billy just gives him a completed GN Flag.

Graham would probably giggle with glee.

System, yes, but somewhere along the line the words "Trans-Am" did appear on the display screen, which means it was a program which was installed into the OS from that point on. At the very least, the name is recorded in there, unless CB wipe the hard drive after every mission.

Or it runs off the computers installed on the GN Drive. Afterall, as an analogy there are programs you can run a program from a CD without installing it on the hard drive. Or for a more concrete example, an exe. you run from a second external hard drive.
