The biggest issue with being deployed in space that I can see is that in open space the original Cherudim's superior sniping capabilities will work better for open space. Not only that, the SAGA's main close combat advantage comes from it being equipped with two GN Pistol IIs plus two of Dynames' old GN Pistols. This is combined with the two GN Submachineguns which are literally the Sniper Rifle IIs but limited to the Vulcan function. The basic Cherudim have all of these equipment in lesser number plus the longer sniping ability and the Shield Bits. My issue with Ascalon is the weight, where its way heavier than the base.They've noted that they've improved the balance issues that it used to have (when it was first designed, it was passed over in favor of Arios GNHW/M due to a few issues), but the weight still remains the same during its actual deployment. It also carries a lot of equipment that arguably would slow it down. The GNHW/M design would have be better, is equipped with heavy beams and still have the missiles for GN Field penetration. The claw remains for melee ramming in Fighter Mode. I also make the assumption that the top camouflage is also an ability available to normal Arios since it was never noted to be a new addition to Ascalon and the previous generation showed that it was a standard feature on the Gundams. I will admit that we do not know the gross weight of the Arios GNHW/M but we do know that the gross weight of the Arios Ascalon is 81.5 metric tons, pretty high by GNVMS standards The increased weight would be more of an issue under gravity than in space. GN Particles can of course reduce it on Earth but that also means more particle consumption on weight reduction . The less aerodynamic design would fit space more than Earth's atmosphere. GNMS in general aren't aerodynamic but weird decision for an Aerojet type. Personally, I think of they needed to use the variants for whatever reason (real life it's just kit marketing; in jniverse there coukd be one or two possible reason) should switch but I think the optimal solution would have been to use the Gundams where they were assigned at the one but with their original equipment. The Arios frame is still suffering some damage from the final battle it's noted in 00V Senki, which would also add more reason to use the basic equipment set as its tested and would have less chance of running into issues than an equipment set that suffered many design issues.

But the timeframe noted here was definitely before when the movie started. If my recollection of Veda2314 to be true, it means that Exia R3 was in space during the movie and Setsuna used it as a descent craft to Earth. For that to happen, Exia R3 after this mission would need to be transported to space at some point. That's not really impossible or anything but it would go against Celestial Being's current MO of assigning suits on a specific area. Presumably they wouldn't want to transport suits around if their access to OE is limited. The lesser access is noted somewhere to be due to ESF monitoring the orbitals more. Quote:

The 00V Senki Raphael Dominions chapter mentioned that Raphael's issue on Earth was weight distribution, which we can see on the backpack. I've always made the assumption that Raphael's being more suited to space was because this was less of an issue in space. From what I can see of the Gadessa series, they do not have an obvious weight distribution issues to Raphael's extreme and so not need a variant with different weight distribution just to function on Earth. The best issue I can see on the Gadessa Series is GNZ-003 Gadessa's GN Mega Launcher perhaps also having weight distribution issues but it was used on Earth without much issues. Garazzo and Gadess also appears to not have any obvious Earth problems. Quote:
I actually think the 00 Raiser form is superior in general when it comes to combat. The moving wings would greatly increased 00's AMBAC capabilities and mobility. E08 mentioned something in a PM to me about how the MG 007S/G manual that the GN Sword II Blaster has infinite possibilities or something as such. I believe Senki chapter 1 mentioned how its also designed specifically for Innovators. I "think" the message we're supposed to get is that the GN Sword II Blaster is better than the GN Sword III especially if its supposedly the best weapon is a set that's more combat oriented than 00 Raiser's. If this is indeed true, then adding it with 00 Raiser would make it quite deadly. I don't see the main right hand being a difference in communication factor either way. Seven Sword/G can also deploy a GN Field but 00 Raiser can do that as well. GN Sword II Long does add a more to overall firepower though as does GN Sword II Short. Technically, its possible for 00 Raiser to be equipped with the GN Sword IIs on the waist if needed to increase the combat potential comparison.
